Great review from Noobsource
Lumberwhack recieved a great review from Noobsource yesterday. Thank you Noobsource!
Koloss Interactive is treading some new ground on the pricing front. The side-scrolling/ tower defense market has been dominated by free-to-play apps and in-app purchases to capitalize on the difficulty curves in-game. Lumberwhack costs $0.99 and is worth every penny. It’s a great feeling to be able to play a game and not have difficulty ‘pay-walls’ put up to force you to pay up to progress. Here, you pay at the door and can enjoy the game. This is tower-defense gaming evolved: incorporating features of other titles in the genre and refining them into something addictively pure. Whether you enjoy the graphics, collecting all the animals, or competing for best score on Survival mode, there’s something for the casual and veterans of the genre here.

Only 2 days after I submitted my upcoming side-scrolling defense game Lumberwhack to Apple’s App Store for review, it got approved! I was expecting it to take at least a full week, which seems to be the normal waiting time. I will decide on a final release date in the coming days.
Expect it to be available for download sometime in the beginning of August. I might ditch out a minor update before it goes public.
Also coming up, -a new awesome gameplay trailer, eye-popping screenshots and a website overhaul!

End game preview -Bring it on!
The B.A.R (Big Ass Rhino) is outnumbered against the first wave of lumberjacks. Well, he has the coconut throwing monkey and the Back Attack Gator to help him, but it ain't looking to good at the moment is it? One lumberjack has recently parachuted down and bypassed the front line defense. He will go ahead and start cutting down a second tree if nobody stops him.

Vote for me at Indies Crash E3
Vote for Koloss Interactive at Indies Crash E3 to give me the opportunity to visit the E3 Expo, -the world’s premier trade show for computer and video games.
It would be a great experience and an amazing opportunity to show off my upcoming side-scrolling defense game Lumberwhack.
Lumberwhack in widescreen action
Here is some whacking going on in widescreen (iPhone 5, 16:9). Once again the lumberjacks has managed to cut down a tree. Standing in the back and never shown on a screen shot before is the Jack-Medic and the revolver spinning Jack-Ranger. Both aiding the frenzied front line of lumberjacks. The Smashback Gorilla, Swiftpaw Tiger and the Spitting Cobra is doing there best to defend the forest and hold the lumberjacks at bay.
