    Please check out the first gameplay video for our new game Droopy Blocks! It is coming to iPad and Kindle Fire in early 2012.

    If you love puzzle games but are looking for something new and different, something you have definitely never tried before Droopy Blocks is the game for you.

    It is like twister for you fingers and brain! Let us know what you think in the comments section. We would love to hear from you!

    What is this “Droopy Blocks”

    “Droopy Blocks” is a fresh new take on 2D action/puzzle game designed specifically for tablets. The Droopy Blocks are cute, living blocks of goo that were made in a secret laboratory. They were accidentally melted and now must be put back in their original shapes.

    To get the Droopy Block back into its original shape the player uses little creatures called “Suckers” to suck the gelatinous block in different directions. While the Suckers pull the block in the direction the player chooses, the player holds the parts of the block they do not want to move with their fingers. Through this fun, finger-twisting and mind-bending gameplay the player can reshape the “Droopy Block”!

    Key Features:

    • Innovative dripping and holding puzzle gameplay mechanic
    • 80 puzzles set in 4 diverse stages
    • Puzzle with character! The Droopy Blocks giggle when poked in the mouth or wince when stuck in the eye
    • A high-score, 5 minute, Championship mode that allows players to compete against each globally via Game Center leaderboards
    • Game Center Achievements
    • 4 profile slots so multiple people can play on the same device

    The target release is early 2012, January or February

    CONTEST!
    Please share the video on your Facebook pages to help spread the word. For every 10 people that share this video, we will give away one of the stuffed Droopy Blocks to a random sharer. Easy to do and a very high chance of winning!


    We are not using a publisher, so all the help we can get spreading the word is VERY much appreciated!

    Release time frame and cost update

    Hey Tannorexic! We are working hard to finish up the game. If all goes well the ipad version will be out around the end of the month. :)

    Thanks for sticking with us! We can't wait to get this game out to you guys.

    We are thinking the first 10 levels will be free and then you can buy all of the rest of the game with a $1.99 in-app purchase. How does that sound to you guys?

    "the first 10 levels will be free"...you mean that the game will come up with free app? and to unlock it we should buy in app purchase for $1.99? can it be restored back the purchase in case of formatting the device?

    $1.99 - flexible offer, consider as a donation though the game is hard to make it!
     
  16. I think, according to what I have read on Apple's site s your purchase should be protected if you need to format your device. Has anyone had experience with that? I only seems fair that you do not lose your in-app purchases.

    We might support iCloud which might address your concerns too. What do you guys think of iCloud?

    iCloud is a good alternative path if you enable it on your game...quick sync over the air!

    I've never lost an IAP before so it sounds great to me!
    If anything, IAP are better because you can download them onto as many of your devices as youd like where as proper purchases have a limit to how many devices you can download it onto, which I'd unfair cause imagine how many apple products will come out in the future!
    Long as there is a "restore purchases" button..

    I've got "7 little words" on every apple device I own with every level pack (from restoring IAP obviously) so all is great in that area.

    As for price 1.99$ is a bargain! Will iPhone version be the same? Or is no iPhone version scheduled (just out of curiosity .. I will probably only want it on the big screen due to the nature of the game)

    Looks really awesome and unique.

    Try before you buy is a good structure so lots of people who had no intentions of buying it will be tempted to after seeings it's awesomeness
    It's crazy how many lite shoppers theyre is in the AppStore who just get lutes and never full games! That'd drive me insaNe if it's a good game I need it immediately! It's like ermm D___ teasing for phones! Gamual frustration.
     
  19. Hey Tannorexic!

    Thanks for the post. We added a restore button the other day. I am glad to hear it is a feature you guys like and want. A lot of polish has been going into the game and we are really close to submitting it to Apple for review. I will be posting some new videos and screens ASAP.

    We will try to shoot for a release this month, most likely Thursday January 26th. We need to send out preview builds to sites etc... and build up a bit more awareness for the game.

    Thanks again!
