Hello, hello, hello! Strapped to a Meteor is back! We took a little cruise around the universe (no big deal) and as a souvenir, brought you something real special – our brand-spanking new iOS title, Mr. Dreamer. To celebrate our return, we’re throwing a partaay! AND YOU’RE INVITED! Sooo…ready to join? (seriously though, don’t leave us hanging; a party without people? That’s just embarrassing.) MR. DREAMER TRAILER Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel 7 FREE PROMO CODES - SPIN THE STORY - WINNERS HAVE BEEN ANNOUNCED Before the partaay (I mean contest) this Friday, we’d like to give away some free promos! But it’d be a shame if we didn’t have a lil' fun while at it. So… All we’re asking for is a little participation in a game we call, Spin The Story. You see, Poncho (our main character), is an extraordinary minion; he is a dreamer, an adventurer and madly in love with sugary goodness! So how did he end up holding the world’s most boring job title as quality assurance manager at Broccoli Co.? Well, that’s the fun part - you tell us! We’ll begin with a simple, single-sentence introduction story and your job is to carry it on and spin it off of the last person’s single-sentence spin – continuing the story. Multiple posts by the same person are ok. The game will end on Friday at midnight! We’ll then pick 7 of our favorite spin offs and they’ll receive a free promo code and be the first to get their hands on Mr. Dreamer! Simple. Let’s have some fun. Go! Note: Redeeming promo codes will keep you from posting a review in the app store. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOW FOR THE CONTEST For each contest day, we’re giving away a $20 iTunes gift card (5 total); and as for the grand prize – the New iPad w/Retina (or $500 cash).

story continued When visiting this particular horse one must always remember to bring waffles, a bag of marbles and a bowling pin.
The waffles were clearly to satisfy the horse's hunger while the marbles and bowling pin were the key elements for their favorite game.
And spread the marbles and bowling pin on the floor to set up the game Also, not about the story, but damn this contest looks great! I'm in!
Walking up and seeing the horse was clearly mad, decided to scream with the horse for the sense of "adventure"
As the horse continued to scream - he began to balloon out and started floating towards the moon, Poncho just managed to clutch a hoof before he drifted out of reach.
HAHAHAHA I hate to break the chain but I just had to say it... this cracks me up! LMFAO! Just can't get past the damn horse!
Thanks for the awesome giveaway - wonder where the tall tale is going to take us?? To continue with the story ....they drifted up higher & higher...Poncho tried his best but just couldn't hold on....He gulped a prayer as he slipped and fell dooowwwnnnn.....
...little does poncho know, this pink pterodactyl is the estranged lover of the horse which wants revenge..
The curiously-colored pterodactyl headed towards a huge storm cloud. Poncho, unaware of the upcoming dangers sat patiently until he saw an odd machine at the heart of the daunting cloud. Surprisingly, upon operating the machine, Poncho discovered the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (FLDSMDF for short) He programmed it to rain meatballs and broccoli.
The sky darkened to an ominous hue as they entered the storm cloud, and a fury of meatballs and broccoli began to pour down in squalls.
Poncho began laughing as evil as he could as he watched the meatballs and broccoli falls down from the sky.
Poncho reached out, grabbed the FLDSMDF and reprogrammed it to produce delicious candy instead he continued his evil laugh for he now had an unlimited supply of candy!
