Mountain Sheep has prepped Episode 3 of Minigore to be submitted this week. This 3rd episode finally adds a number of long promised upgrades and playable characters, each with their own health stages and unique beast modes. These include:
- Jerry Gore – John Gore's elderly uncle, features voice acting by Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson
- Enviro-Bear – first cross-promotion character from Justin Smith's Enviro-Bear 2010
- Xmas Gore – John Gore wearing a Christmas costume and a bigger belly
- Evan Hsu – Minigore tagline winner Evan Hsu
- Sensei Evan – Grand prize of the unlockable characters
They've also offered 2 downloadable content characters including Santa and Kid Gore which use the Snowy Christmas version of the level. The new game requires you to unlock the additional characters by converting kills into a form of currency. Generate enough kills and you will be able to upgrade to the next character.
The game also introduces a night mode during which all the furries turn into speed flaming furries as well as a boss enemy called Wormwolf. Weapons now include Beast mode, shotgun and grenade launcher and each can be upgraded by 10 levels.
For example: Grenade launcher level 1 shoots one grenade, it could be classified as a precision weapon. Level 10 grenade launcher shoots several grenades to various directions and distances and it's more like a carpet bomb.
The following video shows day/night modes, Wormwolf as well as a few of the different characters.
Mountain Sheep is apparently taking these guest character appearances seriously and provided this teaser for a character coming in Episode 4:
They hope for Episode 3 to be out by Christmas and will be a free update for existing customers.
App Store Link: Minigore,$0.99
MiniGore is one of my favorite purchases. At $.99 it is a steal especially with all of the free updates. I can't wait for Episode 3.
Finally.
ENVIRO BEAR FTW!!!
I downloaded this off of itunes and only played it once. It was fun I just forgot about it… I think I'll play it now.
Will it stay true with having enviro-bear use a gun with only one hand?
Yes Sir
downloadable content? so the snow level, kid gore, and santa aren't free? or am i reading it the wrong way?
Ya you gotta pay for them.
Don't forget that this isn't the "snow" level. This forest snow level comes with the santa which you can purchase for X amount, but the future snow level should be free.
I meant that for j3553 oops
wait so there are two snow levels? what is the difference between them?
The one you see in these pictures is just the forest level with a little snow on the ground to go with santa and santa jerry gore, the actual snow level will have different physics and obstacles. the real snow level will be an entirely new map. A lot to look forward to with that, the graveyard map, and the desert one!
which one do u have to pay for?
Well you technically don't pay for the forest snow level shown here. You will be able to play this level for for free with the Santa version of John Gore, and you can also pay X amount (99 cents I imagine) for Santa (which will also come with this level. The official snow level itself should be free just like a regular update, but that has yet to be decided by Mountain Sheep. I would be surprised if it wasn't free though. They seem to be leaning towards more character DLC rather than map DLC, but this is all speculation from me. Lets just say that if you don't plan on buying any DLC, you will still get to play this map with the santa version of John Gore.
You don't have to pay for either,
The 'X-mas Gore' character comes with the snow overlay. The map is exactly the same, it just has snow on it.
The 'Snow Map' is a totally different map.
X-mas Gore! There we go! For some reason I have been calling him Santa John Gore and even Santa Jerry Gore (which is completely wrong). I'm making a lot of mistakes tonight I guess…
If the teaser means that the Zombieland hunter is in the next update, I'm buying this game. The cross promotional characters are a real draw.
Sorry I didn't see that you mentioned the zombiville usa guy, otherwise i wouldn't have said i thought of it. oops! Guess I should read all the comments first… Either way Ill be so pumped if it is!
Episode three shaped up to be an incredible update. We've all been waiting for a while, but Mountain Sheep promised awesome updates and they are delivering. I still find it sad that Minigore didn't stay in the top ten longer than it did. It truly is one of the most epic games in the app store, and the future updates which are being worked on right now are going to be amazing. I'be been fortunate enough to be able to play Episode 3 and I can say it adds a tremendous amount of content and depth to Minigore. Tell all your friends! Lets push Minigore back to the top!!
Who's the surprise guest! I just had a thought… Is it the guy from Zombiville USA! I'm so glad I thought of that
P.S. The guy in the video is kind of a noob haha
P.P.S You guys better get ready for some graveyard and zombie madness!
so will the update include new maps as well?
No, not in THIS update…
This update will include the snowy forest level you see here along with all the other new content, but the next new map is expected for Episode 4 being the new "graveyard" map with zombies. They have also mentioned the snow map and desert. I'm very excited for new maps. It's something I've wanted since the beginning of Minigore.
Where the hell is the bluetooth co-op play they've been promising for months? Their updates are so painfully slow and they're still very buggy… This makes me quite apprehensive to buy any games by Chillingo in the future.
The utter retardedness of that post astounds me…
Well first of all, Mountain Sheep is the developer not Chillingo, and they have added a lot of new content for episode 3. The time that they have spent has been very reasonable for what they have added. Episode 4 has been the multiplayer episode for a long long time if you've checked their blog. Let's hope they include it then as promised.
Where the hell are any of the interesting updates they promised.
Chillingo (yes i know they are the publishers and not the devs) have a rubbish track record with updates.
Definitely don't play this game anymore as its so dull and it doesn't look like the updates in the next millenium will add anything to contradict that.
By the time this game gets all the promised garbage we will be on 6th gen iphones and minigore will be on sale in the retro store.
Yeah, definitely nothing to do with Apple's sucky approval system. Let's all ignore the fact that Minigore has been constantly worked on (with progress reports and images throughout the thread to prove it) since it's release.
Better than Gameloft
so there are 2 snow levels? which one will be in which update?
*sigh*
Let me explain this ONE FINAL TIME!
In this episode, there are new characters. When you play with certain characters (dirty joke unintentional) there is a snowy-overlay to the map.
It is NOT a separate map. It is merely a different texture.
In the coming episodes (not necessarily Ep. 4) there will be a snow map which will be ENTIRELY different, and will have different characters, etc.
OK?
haha alright, thanks
There are many games out there SINCE 1979 with more than ONE LEVEL. And they are all included in the price.
Hi guys just wondered how to post in minigore blog and. Thinking about the ep4 co op play. Is it both online and Bluetooth ? And I got an good idea that might interest T&K how about clan like my name. About week ago I told my friends to make clan in minigore and play together as team and be the top multiplayers and that interested them. Like my clan is KrUnited. There should be clan match. It will be great!!!! I want to post this on minigore blog but don't know how to. There should be big map so you can hide like in the house and buildings and map should be big. You can find me on open fient. My name Bunny[KrUnited]. Rank about 30. Mountainsheep I lov u!!!!!! And keep it up. When is ep3 coming out !!!!!

I know where to post but it won't let me post it!!!!!
The Envirobears roaring sample sounds exactly the same as the druid bearform one in World of Warcraft.
Guys attention to my idea!!! Above 3 ideas. When. Is ep3 release?? App is taking so long. I would pay to get that now !!!!
is anybody gonna buy the dlc?
The Santa character is a lot of fun to play with… so yes for me!
Guys this might be right. Pocket god was submitted 23th of nov and minigore was submitted 24th after day when pocket god was submitted. Today pocket god was released and there is a good chance that minigore will release tomarrow?
I hope so I only bought minigore 3 days ago and its the most used app minigore pwns
I was wrong it's going to come out on next year **** u apple and you don't know how long I was waiting ****. Apple just don't know how much the fan of minigore wants the update so ****ing long.. I would pay apple 5bucks to get the update right now and to mountainsheep developers. It is not you guys fault it's damn apple they only want money and they don't care how long it take!!!!! If the update comes out before next week. I would be so happy that I'm gonna play all day I really didn't wanted to say this my patience is running out……..
Apple needs time to approve so to check for bugs ,erros and VIRUS. Unless you to buy a new iphone ,the approval time is necessary.But they are taking a bit too long everytime yes.
Yup. Safe to assume that's the guy from zombieville. Can't see anyone else with a hat like that.
