GL Golf Networked Multiplayer

We’re happy to announce that the next version of GL Golf should have turn based multiplayer through Apple’s Game Center interface! This feature should eventually make it to our other games but since GL Golf has the largest active user base we’re starting with it. Stay posted, we should be sticking to our typical three-month development cycle.

Critter Crush Announced

Today we’re announcing Critter Crush, our first sequel to Barnyard Blaster! We had so much fun with the original that we wanted to put out another version with more levels and other modernizations, and while we were waiting on Birdie Golf assets was the perfect time for this small project. Critter Crush is in the final testing phase and should be available later this month. Checkout the product page for more info, stay posted!
