Is the bird boss a nod to Thankskilling or a different movie?



Looking forward to seeing some of the other homages.

Heheh, close! The Bird is a nod to THE GIANT CLAW (1957):



Any speedrunners in here? We've set up a Game Center Leaderboard for the fastest total times to complete the game.

Heard this is coming out this week, instant purchase from me !

I did love your old platform game but this new one looks really good, roll on Weds at midnight

Still waiting for Apple to approve! Typical that the one time we set a release date, they'd take longer than they ever have for us before. If we don't hear about it by tomorrow, we'll be announcing a delay...
