    Is the bird boss a nod to Thankskilling or a different movie?

    Heheh, close! The Bird is a nod to THE GIANT CLAW (1957):

    Any speedrunners in here? We've set up a Game Center Leaderboard for the fastest total times to complete the game.

    Still waiting for Apple to approve! Typical that the one time we set a release date, they'd take longer than they ever have for us before. If we don't hear about it by tomorrow, we'll be announcing a delay...

    We gave them a good 2 week period to review it, dunno what the matter is, now big sites like Kotaku have reported us to be definitely releasing on a date it might not make... Well I guess it'll just go out as soon as it's been reviewed, just means we lose out on the TA "coming tonight" post and any pre-release reviews...

    Wasn't paying too much attention to the dates but just ran across the entry for this at AppShopper.com. Congrats on the release!
