    From the creators of Down the Mountain, Boom Dots & ZigZag Boom!

    We are excited to announce one of our upcoming games:
    Back To Square One



    Back To Square One is a beautiful platform game with a single tap control scheme that's a perfect fit for mobile devices. Roll from tile to tile, while avoiding numerous obstacles and collecting coins. Sounds easy? Think again! You'll need to pay close attention, or you're back to square one!

    Back To Square One features 20 awesome playable characters.

    The trailer shows a lot of deaths, you actually get good pretty quick but yet challenging in the long run. Check out this video of our Dev rocking it with Astro!

    Wow! Nice game here! We like the way the main hero smashes on your screen! Waiting for a release date.
    Is this game endless or there's a level split?

    P.S. our favorite is Goof.

    It's ready for sale but for some strange reason it has not yet appeared on the AppStore yet. Hopefully it will be live in the next few hours!

    The Touch Arcade post listing released games said there was something unusual about how the games were released this week. They didn't know why, and that several games that were supposed to be released have not been yet. That's why I posted the question about Back to Square One. Looking forward to it. Also to your other pending game.

    Smells like a Appstore "Best New Games" Feature. Good luck :)

    We are in touch with App Store support to see what the issue is. We released it over 12hours ago but we still can't see it live.

    Got it!!!! It was worth the wait. Not easy for sure! Got to a part with 2 spike blocks in a row, and that's rough!!! But lots of fun and I like the challenge. I'm only up to 14 but I just got the game about 20 minutes ago. Very cool graphics.

    One suggestion...some games have an option to continue a level when you die by spending points or watching a video or whatever. Just a thought.

    BTW. I like Flint.
