UPDATE 11 DECEMBER 2009: FINALY SUBMITTED Better video quality you find here: http://blacksmithgames.com/wp-content/gametrailer.mov The video shows the special way of direct interaction between the player and the world. In the first scene the bunny collects a Pizza. After that the player drags the Pizza around which wakes the Pizza Eater up. Then, in order to reach the Ladybug-coins, the player has to "feed" the Pizza Eater by dropping the Pizza above his head so that the Pizza Eater can be used as a trampoline. Putting the people's suggestions on Twitter into action we decided to implement three different possibilities for character movement. The first one is tilting-control, the second one is using a D-Pad and the last possibility is a kind of touch control. After the announcement of the "decide the price" contest more and more people followed on Twitter, so that by now we have 672 followers and the current introductory price for Plushed is 3,99 $. But there are some good news! The "decide the price contest" will be extended until August 29 so that the final introductory price can be even lower! www.twitter.com/blacksmithgames _____________________________________ blacksmith games announces its first iPhone and iPod Touch game which is called Plushed!.

So how do we exactly win? Is it just picking someone randomly among all the people that are following you on twitter? And is this a platformer?
I like the look of this! Looks fun and nicely designed. Don't have Twitter though, but good luck. When do you think it'll be released?
Interesting. I'm having difficulty conceptualizing the control mechanism, but the graphics are certainly gorgeous. Plus, there's always room for a good platformer.
You guys will be amazed by the animations. They are really top-notch! Video is coming in the next weeks.
Sounds great, hope you can add an "American McGee's Alice" touch to the genre. A sure buy for me anyway.
