    I'm loving how each world isn't just a re-skin but totally unique mechanics (some worlds have grav boots, others have a gun, etc.).

    Submitting it soon. We were delayed a lot by programmer getting sick and our servers dying. Both at the same time.

    I was checking out Cladun recently, I'll check out The Great Dungeon in the Sky, too. Can't believe I missed that one... usually I follow TIGSource games.

    well actually the core gameplay of the great dungeon in the sky is not that great, but it has awesome character collecting! think the "Lego ___" series but for pixelated characters.

    One thing that I really hope you will do Kepa is make it compatible with 3.1.3 software because i haven't been able to upgrade since my computer went down. Thanks!

    Thanks, but I've not really been following this thread, just Kepa's tweets.

    So far. We haven't tried Gamecenter yet, though. I think that requires a higher OS.

    The gameplay was pretty bad, yeah. Lots of characters to collect, but I found out that pretty much all the characters except for one or two are bad. Still interesting.

    99 cents. Early buyers get a fourth world early and a special hat and hook, everyone else has to wait for the first update. Hook Worlds is very close to being finished, we're just doing final tweaks now and seeing if we can slip in Gamecenter quickly.

    Submitted the game early this morning! We're now working on a bunch of trailers to show off what we've done.

    We couldn't slip in Gamecenter quickly... the two weeks of our servers dying really hurt us. GC got cut, and we didn't get around to retina support, either. GC definitely in the next game, if not in a patch. I am curious to compare GC and Openfeint.

    Please implement both...they're both good and they work together well if used properly(see halfbrick's games)

    Can't wait for this to come out, I'll be one of those early buyers for sure :D

    Yeah I am addicted to the two other Hook games but I am not very good, I just enjoy playing them. I am sure it will be the same with this one.

    It'll most likely be the 16th. Apple's ultimately in charge of when it gets released, though, as always.

    If I could, I'd just make every single one of our games about gnomes from the future. More trailers on the way, we're doing one for each world.

    No news on release date confirmation, yet.

    I can't wait to start hooking again! Wait that didn't sound right but my point remains valid.
