Whoa! It’s been more than a month since our last (until then) weekly update… have we become lazy? No way, we were lazy already! So, let’s blame it on the world cup, I mean, the hard work!

Last Friday we published two new games, iSpot Japan, our previously announced spot-the-difference game based on the beautiful country of Japan, and Vuvuzela vs Zombies, a funny and free game inspired by the annoying vuvuzela buzz we had to endure during the world cup matches.

Both games have been quite well received so far, although Vuvuzela vs Zombies has naturally gathered more attention thanks to the vuvuzela madness. Let’s take a quick look at the latest publications on both games:

• Touch Arcade: “Three silly games you don’t need but should probably have anyway” is the title of this great article at Touch Arcade, in which Vuvuzela vs Zombies is understood as what it is: a funny parody of the App Store topics, mixed up with a trendy vuvuzela and some ads. <Link>
• The Appera: Vuvuzela vs Zombies was introduced as “Just like the Netherlands vs Spain”, shortly before the great World Cup final. The game is regarded as fun to play and valued to be free. <Link>
• Anait Games: “First Game Of The Year of the Day” is the way our friend Nae describes Vuvuzela vs Zombies in a joking way, praising its humor and the fact that its completely free. <Link>
• AppBank: Our Japanese friends at AppBank reviewed Vuvuzela vs Zombies with lots of detail, including a gameplay video, and recommend to download it since it’s free. I still feel sorry for Japan loosing against Paraguay during penalty kicks, having played a great group phase and with great players such as Honda and Endo, they should have made it to the next stage! <Link>
• Capsule Computers: the first iSpot Japan review comes from our Australian friend Master Abbot and includes a great video explaining the game in detail. iSpot Japan was given a great score of 8/10 capsules! <Link>

Talking about future games, we’re preparing a new update for Vuvuzela vs Zombies which will include iPad HD support and a new game mode. We also have a couple of new game demos which need a bit of development.

This summer we’re spending most of our time developing a game for a different gaming platform. We can’t reveal more details yet, but we’re quite excited about it

Oh, did I mention we’re really happy that Spain finally won the World Cup? I guess that goes without saying!
