"Pigs in Trees" is the Danish Game of the Year 2011

Hi folks,


We made this little video about the Danish Game Awards 2012 last Thursday (in Danish).


The team members behind Pigs in Trees are very happy, and as you can see in the video - we had a good and long night ;)

A special thanks to all of our incredible game testers - without you guys, no games!


Cheers!

By the way, did you see Saving Yello Lite?

It's free - get it here

Thanks for the votes

Best App Ever Awards 2011 has announced the 2011 Winners! Unfortunately, Seal Force and Saving Yello did'nt win this year but we appreciate your support. Congratulations to all the winners :)

Better luck next year. We'll keep busy working on new titles for you guys

Seal Force is the 2nd Highest Rated iPhone Game of Q4 2011

– according to Quality Index. This must be the best 2nd place ever!!! This is a great honor considering the large amount of released titles during last quarter.

"I could easily see Seal Force as a Saturday morning cartoon. From the 80's or otherwise. The game itself is actually pretty cool, too." 4.5 out of 5 stars - www.148apps.com

"Seal Force is simply a joy to play. The gameplay is incredibly well-done, but it's the overall feel here that makes this such a winning title." 4.5 out of 5 stars – www.gamezebo.com

"The artwork is simply beautiful, with highly detailed cartoon seals and other characters providing high quality production values and adding a ton of character to the game." 9/10 - www.appgamer.net


And remember - it's free :)

Crazy Test live in AppStore!

Hello all,

I am very excited to announce Tactile Entertainment's first release to the AppStore. While everyone has been hard at work with Pocket Creatures, I have been covertly developing Crazy Test, which we are now ready to reveal.

We simply needed a way to get some of the crazy ideas out of our heads and keep Morten "MacDaddy" from putting them into Pocket Creatures. Thus came to be "Crazy Test" a wacky Wario Ware inspired marathon of mini games for the iPhone and iPod touch.

We hope you will enjoy this game as much as we enjoyed creating it.
