New Game: Thunderboard

It's been a while since our hit game Kickflip came out, so we thought it was about time to put out another skateboarding game... and this one is wicked fun. Thunderboard combines the freestyle/trick elements of many skateboarding games, but adds the speed and excitement of downhill racing.

The goal of Thunderboard is to make it to the end of each course before time runs out, tricking like mad the whole way down. Ramps, jumps and obstacles are strategically placed throughout the course -- it is a blast and we really think you're going to like it!

Fancy Pants Adventure comes to Candystand.com

New game today -- and it's a good one. You may have played previous versions of Brad Borne's innovative side-scroller, Fancy Pants Adventure. If you have (or even if you haven't), you'll be psyched to try out Fancy Pants Adventure World 2 which launched this morning.

Just like classic side-scrollers (think Super Mario Bros., Sonic, etc.), your job is to guide Fancy Pants Man through all kinds of crazy levels in Squiggleville, collecting shells as you go. It's the kind of game that you can just pick up quickly and play for hours. Plus, we have added a leaderboard to the game so that you can see how you stack up vs. the rest of the world.

So, head on over to the site to check out Fancy Pants Adventure World 2, you will not be disappointed!

Two new games and a new look for Candystand.com

It's an exciting day for all of us here at Candystand.com. We've tweaked the design of the site a bit (made pages load faster, yay!) and added two really slick games. Enough banter, let's get into it!

The first game to note is called Blackbeard's Assault -- this is one that I am very excited about. Blackbeard's Assault is half-puzzle game and half-arcade game... but totally fun. You have to manage multiple cannons and fire cannonballs to form groups of three or more cannonballs before the rolling balls reach the "X" at the end of each level/maze. Confused? Don't be, just click here to play Blackbeard's Assault now!

The next new game is Ether War. This is a classic space-shooter in which you need to guide your ship to protect the space station. What sets Ether War apart is the outstanding control and the incredible visuals. While I stink at it, our testers are in love with this game! If you like classic shooters, click here to give Ether War a try!

Paintball Smash is Live!

Happy Tuesday, everybody! It's only been about 3 months since we first promised you Paintball Smash... Well, today it is live.

Paintball Smash is our take on a first-person shooter. You need to march your way through a 3D playing field, eliminating your opponents as you go. Be on the lookout for upgraded paint-guns and power-ups and you'll be on your way to the leaderboard.

We're pretty darn happy with Paintball Smash and we thing you will be too. Click here to check it out!

New Game: Off-Balance

Another game has been posted this morning! In Off-Balance you'll need to help your little buddy navigate dozens of mazes while avoiding the walls and traps. (Think old-school "Operation", just way cuter). It's quite addictive so head over and start playing now!

P.S. I know it's been a while since we last posted about Paintball from Silent Bay Studios, but worry not! I'm happy to report it should be ready for release next week!
