UPDATE: OFFICIAL LAUNCH DATE: March 14 UPDATE Feb 23rd: Official Trailer: Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Well the time has come to officially announce our next big project! Many people have been waiting for it, many people begging for it.... But now I can finally officially announce what we've been working on. Tighten your belt because this sequel is going to blow your pants right off. In addition to all the classic features and modes you know and love, here's is just a taste of what were thinking of doing in SSG2: Game Play – SSG2 is loaded with brand new courses, power ups, environmental hazards, achievements, collectables and some awesome surprises I can't even talk about yet. Asynchronous Multiplayer – You wanted it you got it. In addition to the classic multiplayer race mode, we are bringing turn based play so you can challenge your friends for total SSG dominance. Just at your own pace. Realtime Multiplayer enhancements - Goodbye lag. Hello bliss. The realtime arcade multiplayer mode you know and love, except more powerups and more crazy mayhem. Puzzle Mode – Think you have the maddest SSG skills around? Well put it to the test in our new Puzzle Mode. These scenario based puzzle holes will bring an all new challenge and set of rewards to even the most seasoned of SSG players. To celebrate this monumental announcement we decided drop the price of Super Stickman Golf to free for a limited time (download here). If you haven't hit the links on our Canadian Video Game Award nominated, Rocket and Raygun winning game, now is the time! Also, we want our fans to make the new theme song! Well sort of... We are holding a remix/cover contest for all the audiophiles and super fans out there. Download the files of the original SSG Theme and remix away! Contest details at noodlecake.com (should be up tomorrow) and if we like what we hear, your song could be in SSG2. Oh, and one last thing. We're also looking for alpha testers so please let me know if you would like to be a tester. Some teaser screencaps:
This sounds absolutely awesome!!! SSG actually was one of the few games that I barely played after I got it, but recently (last few months) I've been playing it a ton and loving it. I don't say it often, as most of the time I don't mean it, but this will be an Instabuy. Can't wait for it to come out.
This will be a day 1 purchase for sure. Day -1 if possible. SSG is the best golf game ever. Also I'm really glad you're also keeping the live multiplayer, not just async, as we love that, especially me and my kids via bluetooth. I'm happy. Tell me where to send my money.
lol @ portals. Awesome. I'll admit this is an insta-buy regardless, but please consider iCloud support! Please?! I could help you test it
Oh my, you just made my day! SSG is one of my all time iOS favorites and is also an office favorite - we still play multiplayer matches to this day! Can't wait, instabuy for me as well (if you need alpha/beta testers, wouldn't mind signing up, I actually have a B.Sc. in computer science)
Just about the only game my friends and I play on ios....such an awesome multiplayer. Would absolutely LOVE to be a tester. Also....any chance of enabling gamecenter voice chat for those who love online multiplayer with friends? http://www.freeimagehosting.net/e2145 It's just begging to have a super stickman 2 version......begging!!!!!
Was dissappointed that the multiplayer in the previous game was like a race. Real life golf is "asynchronus"; it shouldn't be a rush but more of a strategic game so this news is absolutley brilliant and can't wait to play.
You're probably the first person I heard that was disappointed from the multiplayer, it's about having fun, not simulating the real game of golf, which if my memory serves me right, doesn't involve floating land masses, conveyor belts, climbing through giant trees or putting on the moon (the crew of Apollo 12 might have a different opinion on that one though!) I will be happy for asynchronous multiplayer as well but I'm even happier the race is back.
Just because I'm comparing the concept of asynchronus play to real life doesn't mean you need to compare the whole game to it; I loved this game for its levels and style but hated having to rush instead of using the various islands and terrain to play strategically, which is now more possible with async.
Will there ever be an update for SSG to have iCloud syncing, a la Tiny Wings and Tiny Wings HD? Will SSG2 have iCloud syncing?
