    Squid Drop is almost ready. This is probably the best Norwegian-made squid-featuring game for the iOS-platform.

    Squid Drop is an action game featuring a squid, that is – wait for it – dropping. The aim of the game is to avoid monsters and pick up bonuses to amass the lowest possible low-score. Yes, you read that right: Low-score.

    Instructions Manual?
    -Slide finger. Avoid danger.

    Squid Drop features:

    • Fast FUN gaming sessions
    • Monsters galore
    • Global LOW Score!
    • Achievements
    • Unlockable extras

    More details, screenshots videos etc. will be made available leading up to the release.

    It's a falling game like Cliffed using touch controls, right? Any tilt controls?

    Slide-controls only I'm afraid. I experimented with tilt controls early on, but it would frankly warrant a complete redesign of every level as it's more or less impossible to play that way... :)

    Calm down people!

    I'll answer all of your questions in due time, but please not everyone at once!

    Thanks a lot guys! :)

    @Gammabeam The music is the in-game music (the second part). You'll be able to hear the whole thing when the game ships. :D

    Ha ha, thanks NewEnglandGamer, not sure if you or I was first at posting this. (I figured it was best to give it a new thread). ;)

    Thanks! :)
    I'm quite fortunate in that respect, as it can't possibly sell any worse(?) :D

    I'm really looking forward to this game. I hope this game gets popular because of how unsuccessful your other app was. As you said, this game can't possibly sell worse. I think it'll be popular because it'll bring unique gameplay and art to the App Store. I can't wait to pick this game up and tell my friends :)

    Great to hear JFPro and thanks for the kind words!

    I can't really blame anyone but myself for Fumbers' failure, but I have no qualms in playing the sympathy-card if that's what it takes. :D
