More Marvel-related news came out of New York Comic Con over the weekend, as the company has announced that their Marvel-themed runner Marvel Run Jump Smash! will soon be hitting mobile devices worldwide. Marvel Run Jump Smash!, which was apparently a huge hit in Korea, seems like a pretty typical auto-runner, but with superdeformed versions of Marvel characters. Each character has their own special abilities and you can create a team of your favorites, with more characters already planned for future updates. Here’s a trailer.
I’m about as sick of runners as the next guy, but I do really like the idea of creating a team of characters who each have special abilities and running around causing havoc in Marvel-themed locations. No specific release date was mentioned for Marvel Run Jump Smash! but the game is said to be coming “soon" so we’ll let you know once we get word of when that might be.
In 7 days? That would coincide with new iPad release
I see skeletons and bats, also I see the 7 as 7 days (: for halloween! That would be epic.
I'm thinking the same. There's no turkey or snow, so I'm thinking Thanksgiving & Xmas are out. Maybe at the Apple Conference coming up?
I estimate this will be a HUGELY popular game for iOS when it comes out, and Nintendo will have missed out big time for not putting out an iOS Zelda title.
Buy a 3DS. If you are waiting on iOS titles from Nintendo, you are in for a looooooong wait (i.e. it will NEVER happen).
Who's the moron who thumbed this down? Of course Nintendo is not gonna release games on iOS. It's making boatloads of money and there's something called "pride" left in our world. They would prefer to sink than sell their licences to others. Period.
I second Halloween.
If you consider the image a clock face, the character is facing to the 7-ish position as well ... But my guess would be with the Nov 7th release as well.
Cannot wait!! I Hope they adhere to what Zelda fans want, given the delay I think they are perfecting this game.
7th of November. I agree. Hoping this game will be Epic.
Its a guns n roses reference guys. It's hard hold a candle in the cold....November Rain! November 7th it is.
Right on the money. I knew there was a reason for the dash after "cold", I just forgot my GnR lyrics. I am ashamed!
That sounds almost irrefutable. Nice work. I've been looking forward to this, but it cuts SO close to Zelda it's kinda disappointing to me at times. Not that I won't enjoy it, I'd just like them to mix it up a bit more than stalfos and keese and clay jars and pushable statues, etc.
I hear ya man. Though as I don't carry a 3DS around with me, a little Zelda on the run can only be a good thing. I am hoping that they have a few surprises up their sleeve though.
Wow, no credit for me? Scroll down, I mentioned this earlier...
Andywynn beat you to it. He deserves the internet cookie.
I hope you're right, because come November 7th I'll be in 'Paradise City', where Oceanhorn is for sale and the battles are gritty.
Did you really have to go there?! Hahahaha this is terrible----ly radical.
I see two things that could be some sort of numerical values the amount of arrows which everyone seems to have noticed, and his health. Notice how he only has 3 out of 4 hearts? What does this mean? I have no clue, but it's something.
Perhaps 2013
If you divide the year in four, the last 3 months are october, november and december, the middle one ( half of the heart) being november.
Which confirms 7th november theory.
November 7 is my birthday! Certainly hope that's the release date.
My birthday too haha :D
what about the three hearts?
Half life 3
I see what you did there.
I've got it! It has to be 7pm July 7th 2017, unless I miscalculated.
It's "champing at the bit".
Cool. I did not know that. Like other idioms the now common usage of "chomping" is probably going to be more readily understood and used by everyone going forward, but it's always good to know the roots. The problem with correcting this one is that chomping has almost the same meaning as champing.
Fortunately the "bit" part is the one that reminds that we are talking about a horse that is impatient, so the true meaning isn't lost by the new use of "chomping".
Now... do I start using "champing" or not? I think I will. It's a nice conversational piece. :P
Yeah, it's one of those that's so widely misused that it's now correct either way. And the fact remains that chomping and champing are basically the same. Funny how many idioms get incorrectly used (my favorite is 'toe the line' which is often incorrectly written as 'tow the line').
I learned it as tow the line first and made up a meaning from a large group of people towing maybe a boat in by a line. I imagined that you had to do what everyone else was doing (towing the boat by pulling the line in unison).
Toe the line conjures a much simpler derivation for the meaning of the idiom but I've always had a slightly different connotation in mind because of my imagined definition.
(Apologies to everyone here discussing the awesome looking game. lol.)
My personal favourite: "for all intensive purposes".
And also really looking forward to the game!
Thank you. Just came down here to point that out myself.
To add to the list of incorrect idioms, I have noticed "doesn't jive" is used frequently, where "jibe" is actually the correct usage.
Well, the number of arrows may be significant, but the presence of the bow might carry some meaning as well. The astrological sign Sagittarius is a centaur wielding a bow, and it's duration runs from November 22 to December 21. This might indicate a release date of December 7, rather than November. Just sayin'.
Yeah good point, it doesn't fit in with my wanting it right now though. Sigh. I'm having one of those "I hope I dont die before this comes out" feelings, i mean I'm 35, I can't believe I still get that
The 3 on 4 hearth mean 3/4 like third quarter of the year who mean the fall.
I agree with the gun n rose reference too plus the 7 arrows. My guess is november 7th too !! Cant wait for it.
Oceanhorn + iPad 5 = My Christmas early.
The file name is reference to a Guns n' Roses song called November Rain, the whole lyric is: "And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain" So it would seem November 7th is a good guess.
Also, December 7 is the Day of the Little Candles in Colombia. But that GnR reference is a strong hint for November, too.
November 7th makes the most sense since November 6th is a Wednesday, and apps are released sometime Late on Wednesday night which is the next day for a lot of people.
Cool, something to beat, and then a second helping of Zelda at end of nov!
Where did the idea this is hiding the release date come from? What if it's just a random photo they decided to upload...?
However I hope it is hiding the release date and there are some quite plausible reasons for why it might be 7th November, I can't wait!!
The devs stated it in the text which accompanied the image when it was sent to various media outlets. This article also mentions that the author personally contacted FDG for further details.
Plus the GnR reference in the file name is an extremely strong hint in itself.
Was there ever a price mention on this?
Freemium with pay-per-hour IAP.
All of you have gone bonkers!! Do you even hear yourselves?
My friend just told me this is ipad only, that's not true I presume? Jeez please don't be.
It's most definitely for both iPhone and iPad. One of the gameplay videos that was shown demonstrated the developer playing it on an iPad and then playing it on an iPhone.
So much hype to this game, going to be hard to live up to it.
Just release it already man dam I've been waiting so long wasting my money on all these crappy games ! Hurry up guys ! This game looks epic! U should release the game 7 minutes after my post ! Hurry guys hurry !
My immediate thought was December 7th because of the bow & arrow so I'm going with that
Well, there is a super tiny number 19 in the map on the upper right hand side of the screen. There are 7 arrows and 3 hearts. That makes 10. 10/19? Hm, I hope so!
I actually don't think that is a 19. I think it is just a chest icon that shrank down because it is farther away from the character.
The reason I think this is because if you look at the enemy arrow icon on the top right you can see it is actually smaller then the other arrows that are closer to the center.
In fact, the map on the side looks a lot like an ipad or an iphone turned on it's side. I wonder if they mean it'll coincide with the upcoming event on the 22?
"and its hard to hold a candle in the cold November Rain" - Guns N Roses
look for the release November 7th.

These guys already have my money
"and its hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain" - Guns N Roses
November 7th it is.
case closed
Looking at the screen sideways (right side is bottom)
You see a 10 formed by the Item vertical bar and the joypad(?),
then a 7 in the arrow
then a 13 at the upper right (mana bar is a 1 and 3 hearts)
10/07/13 (and it's a Thursday)
On the floor you can make out Oct. The hearts and mana bar make 31. The bat and skele also point to October 31. Not sure how the 7 plays in.. Maybe a throw off.
Wow some people are really stretching. The guns and roses thing seems to be pretty solid confirmation that it's November. Whether or not it's the 7th, who knows - the arrow count could be unintentional - but that file name is pretty cut and dry
Nov. 7 also happens to be a Thursday, so that fits with the traditional midnight Wed/Thur game release.
That date is also National Crypt-Raiding Day in Estonia. Thus the setting.
Seems solid to me.
In 7 days! It displays a number of REMAINING arrows, so that's not an absolute number (-:
Is this iPad only or iPhone as well? If it's iPad only, I'm not interested.
Well the screenshot is in 16:9- an iPhone screen ratio. Also all the released gameplay footage shows it in both devices.
So, interested now?
Yes.
I think it's just a screenshot :/
If you guys look, you can see that the objects in the screen form two 1's! The boxes and statues to the left form one 1, while the other 1 is formed by the bat to the right and the line in the ground. Thus it should be November 7th! However I do like the idea of November Rain a lot too ;)
October 31 is a Thursday as well. I think the GnR is pretty solid but just seems way too easy. Although Halloween is a pretty easy guess too with skeletons and bats I spose.
Man i seriously cannot wait for Oceanhorn and Ittle Dew!!
The GnR works for it being in nov if you look at the 3 hearts that means 3 weeks and 3 weeks would be nov 7, and the 7 arrows comfirms that!!!!
Just realized the game was announced on their blog Nov 4th rather than 7th ...
It IS comingNovember the 7th because everything there is 7 and even the blog on oceanhorn has more evidence in November than December.
7 arrows, 3 full hearts out of 4 hearts, 3+4 = 7. Character is facing in the direction of 7-o'clock on a clock face. Turn your head to the right and look at the arrow ammo counter, the arrow is also facing towards 7-o'clock. On the mini-map there shows 4 people other than you character and in the picture you can see 3 characters on screen. 3+4 = 7. I reckon it's gonna release on the seventh, not sure what month...
Been awfully quiet....still Nov 7? Sure hope so. That itldew game was a good time killer but only 3 hours worth(plus any time grabbing all the chests/cards. I'd guess add another 1-2 hours for that. Definitely worth downloading to fill these next couple days in.
Nope sorry man they denied that in their forums
I just learned that a minute ago
And when I learned it I decided to share what I learned with you
Lol thanks ;)
I think goggles may be right. I'm going with the 19th due to the 19 on the mini map :)
Ignore that :p The 19th is not a Thursday :(
My theory all along has been that the 4 hearts in this instance represent the 4 possible weeks It could be released, so the fact that there is three means it's the 21st of November. The seven arrows could be seven days in a week, 7x3 is 21. Idk just a guess. But the 21st is a Thursday. And that crap comes out on Thursdays unless I'm some sort of fool. The 7th just seemed to easy, Red herring easy.
