    A pet Gnomey is no surprise, but Sonic THE Hedgehoooooog?!

    The game is so awesome that people are still buying the game even with the price increases. I bought it myself at the latest full price and it's always the first game I play whenever I go to my iPad.

    Woot! It's a shame I'm going away for a fortnight because I can't wait to play the update!

    Awesome! Looking forward to it. Are the pets collectibles like the hats (assessable whenever)? Or are they like the armor you find in dungeons (just useable in that playthrough)

    It's making me curious as to how long we updated all our other games. I remember updating them for at least a year for new content, too. Though I think Wayward Souls may be our longest updated one except maybe Punch Quest.

    Very cool. Also, all our games have Sonic the Hedgehog in them. Usually as a nearly impossible to find secret. So we don't get sued.

    If you're going away soon, the update may happen at about the time you come back. I think people will actually be able to download the update in like mid-January or a little later. It can take awhile for the update to actually get on the store once it's submitted (the time varies depending on different factors).

    They're more like the armor you find in dungeons. You can use them in that playthrough.

    As soon as the update is out we must make a list of them and what they do!

    I agree. I too am looking forward to both updates. However or whenever I missed the option to be a part of the TestFlight beta for this game, I am still kicking myself. Either way I will be keeping an eye out for both. Loving how much time and effort goes into your games. Keep rocking it guys.

    Thanks everyone!

    We stopped doing Testflights for awhile for the most part, because it was difficult to manage and it used up really limited slots. We'll probably go back to using it for future games, as they made things a lot better in some ways. Testflight gets its own specific slots now, for example, in way greater numbers.

    More news on this later. Maybe for Death Road?

    This update is going to make me put another gazillion hours into this game. I really wish there was a playtime counter, I'd love to know how many hours I've sunk into WS.

    Tier 2 - Slime Spawn, Dustpup, Black Cat, White Rooster, Sprite, Golden Hog, Fire Salamander, Sparkling Fairy, Albino Rat, Bogslug, Bloodsoul, Mine bat, Silken Spider, Cave Crab (though you can't get this one right now due to a bug).
    Tier 3 (super rare) - Gnomey, RocketCat, Demonskull, Sonic the Hedgehog, Duck, Chatterpile, Tiny Eye

    "Gotta go fast." -- Sonic the Hedgehog

    There's a new spider nest area type, with its own set of monsters, that's coming in a future update. Some of them might be in the game now as rare encounters.

    I hope you included blast processing algorithm to properly power Sonic.

    Without proper precautions, Sonic goes way too fast for the hardware to handle.

    Update will be available on Thursday!
