  1. Really can't wait for this, looks awesome!

    That said, I'm looking forward to playing Fruit Ninja Kinect next week also.

    Pretty much this! This game is pretty massive, and it's taking a little bit longer in the QA room than we expected. Our ultra QA experts can pretty much 100% 'complete' Fruit Ninja and Monster Dash in 2 hours or so (all achievements, unlocks, test every case), where as Machine Gun Jetpack takes much, MUCH longer ;)

    We should be submitting very soon... within a few days with a bit of luck! After that it will be time to amp up our marketing for the release date. We have some pretty sweet stuff we are yet to show you guys, which will hopefully get you all as excited as we are! :D

    Will there be an intro sale? (I'm assuming that the game is going to cost more than a buck. Maybe $3? I don't know.)

    My guess is a no, but I thought I'd ask :)

    Yup, as you guys have said, the price will be 99 cents (so no need for an intro sale!), and the game will be out in early September!

    We should be releasing another dev diary pretty soon as well which will give you all even more insight into how we made the game, and also some more of the cool stuff you can expect to be in the game :D

    Also we still have our official trailer to come before release, which we are really excited about as well. :eek:

    Monster Dash has been on the back burner for a little while now as we have been hard at work making Machine Gun Jetpack. We are pretty proud of the updates we did for Monster Dash though! For those who may have forgotten we:

    • Added universal support
    • Added Game Center achievements and leaderboards
    • Added the snow level, Yeti Heights
    • Added the Bad Ass Hog!
    • Added a new weapon, the Rocket Launcher
    • Implemented fast app switching
    • Tweaked around heart placement and difficulty based off Touch Arcade feedback!

    We have some other minor things in mind for Monster Dash sometime in the future, but right now my efforts are 100% focussed on finishing up Machine Gun Jetpack!

    Muscat,

    How'd ye do? I would like to start off by saying, I have been a full supporter of Halfbrick Studios since I first bought Blast Off from the PSN Store for my PSP (which I love a bit more on iOS). I have thoroughly enjoyed every game since. I am quite excited for MGJP to finally come out, such an amazing looking game. I would also like to say, I saw a preview of Fruit Ninja coming out for XBOX Kinect, and it looks pretty damn cool. I would really like to wish you all well with that big step. I am very glad to see you all are porting games to the one of the 3 titans. Are you all thinking of moving towards the direction of consoles instead of the app store?
