    ...and finally I can show the character that didn't make the cut in the last update, "Jack Frost".

    It's 1 year since Jack B. Nimble launched on the app store!

    I'm doing a little giveaway to celebrate: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3692734

    Also, I have some news regarding the next update; all 8 characters are now complete! Next up I'm focussing my efforts on a new level, "Green Grove". GIF soon :)

    I feel awful that I've not quite got the latest update out but I promise I am still working on it.

    Barry wrote a piece on his process when composing for the game: http://cutscenemedia.com/projects/composing-for-games-jack-b-nimble-pt-1/

    I also just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the toucharcade community for the support and extra push Jack B Nimble had this time last year - the game sold so much more over Halloween than it did at launch, largely I feel is thanks to this community. I've yet to write a real postmortem but plan to following the next release.

    I still absolutely love the artwork in this game. I could watch GIFs of this all day long.

    A little news regarding the upcoming update. I've made the difficult decision to cease support for the iPhone 4 - the upcoming update will require iOS 8 as a minimum.

    I am still considering my options regarding the iPhone 4S, but for now it will still be supported - there are just some considerations to make regarding the resolution/screen dimensions of that device as well as performance on that hardware.

    Sorry for those of you that have enjoyed Jack B. Nimble on older devices, but at least the current version of the game won't be going anywhere :)

    Oh and here's a gif from today (it's showing some menu integration for the PC version).

    Responding to some feedback... you can now see which features you have unlocked after death.

    Hey guys, the update is almost complete! Just bug fixing and balancing to do. Hopefully you're all still interested by the time I finish this :eek:

    Here's a new devlog:
