Roaring Waves Trailer

Okay, I promise not to mention Line Golfer or the New York Giants in this post. Today, I'm all about one of our upcoming games, Roaring Waves.

You may be asking yourself why we're launching a surfing game in the middle of February. That's a very valid question. Frankly, the game is just wicked fun and we're freezing our tails off here in the Northeast -- it makes us think about warmer days! Lame enough answer for you? Good!

Our friends at Silent Bay Studios in Italy have really done a nice job on this game. The graphics are fantastic and the gameplay is very approachable. Don't worry, scoring big in this game takes some skills... but we have faith in you guys!

I've posted a video over on YouTube, but you can view it below. Also, check out the Candystand page on Facebook for a whole bunch of screen shots. This game should be ready in a week or so.

Line Golfer for Facebook, Vector TD2 and more...

I can't tell you how excited the team and I are about the feedback on Line Golfer. We spend a ton of time on these games and while we like the `constructive' feedback, it makes us feel great when you love what we make. So, thank you... okay, now enough of the love-fest!

We will be launching Line Golfer for Facebook at some point in the next day or so. The game will function identically to what you've been playing on Candystand.com, but you'll have the option to publish a hole right to your profile page and let your friends know about it. It should be a lot of fun. Please join the Candystand.com community on Facebook and we will send out a message the second it goes live.

Moving right along, we're putting the finishing touches on two more games that will be launched in the next couple of weeks. First off, the eagerly anticipated Vector TD2. We've listened to your suggestions and are absolutely not going to screw this game up! In fact, the game will play very similarly to Vector TD and Vector TDx. We've added a whole bunch of new maps and a couple of other surprises, but the best Tower Defense game on the web is just getting a nice update and not an overhaul.... happy?? I'll post some screens when they're ready on Friday or early next week.

Candystand Surfing is the next game from our friends at Silent Bay Studios in Italy (the guys who have produced most of our new racing games). There aren't a whole lot of surfing games on the web, but we thing this is going to rock. Rather than giving a vague description, look for a video trailer in the next couple of weeks!

Lots more good stuff to follow -- keep checking us here at the blog and get ready for Line Golfer for Facebook later this week!

Line Golfer: First Video

I'm sure the first of many... This is well done!

Tada..... Introducing Line Golfer

After weeks of hype, I'm psyched to finally give you a first-look at Line Golfer, our most ambitious game, well, ever!

Now, Line Golfer doesn't have a high-score board. It also doesn't have any trophies. You'll never see a Line Golfer tournament. It also doesn't stink...! It rules, here's why!

Line Golfer is, in it's truest sense, an exercise in creativity. Once you load the game, you get a blank screen... and some tools (fairway, sand, rough, etc.) to draw with. Basically, you have a chance to draw an elaborate (or simple) golf hole, set the par and... and this is the cool part... post it for other Candystand users to rate, play and have fun with.

If you're not the creative type, you can simply browse or search through all of the other created holes. They are a ton of fun to play, too!

... but wait, there's more exciting news. In a couple of weeks, we'll be launching Line Golfer for Facebook which will allow you to create holes and post them on your Facebook Profile page. Stay tuned for more news on that!

Line Golfer will launch tomorrow. Look for the link here on the blog!

First Screens: Candystand.com Rally Blitz
