We also had multiple Whac-a-Mole updates, including Easter, Valentine and a new Ninja version that all helped seal the app’s impressive impact on the store . Whac-a-Mole has more than 2.2 million downloads so far, and especially an impressive Easter run helped gather lots of those downloads. Further on, we are planning ports to Samsung devices, a new amazing iPad version and iPhone 4 support. We’ll definitely also keep refreshing the game from time to time.

Furthermore, our C64 application in coorporation with Manomio was also catapulted to the top of the app store from out the mists of history. Together with FreeAppADay the App went free for some time and gathered more than 1.5 million downloads. C64 was also updated multiple times during the months, and we are now looking at quite an impressive collection of games. We’ve got yet another update planned that should reach the App. Store within a couple of weeks: restyling the controls, adding games and a new interface to the retro app numero uno!

In more recent news. Our JokeToons application launched just last week. It’s been created for the Funny Farm, a new company featuring some of the animators from Avatar. So you know that they’re good for some great animation and a sense of grandeur. The App is filled with funny snack films rendered in amazing 3d. If you haven’t checked out the application I suggest you download it for free by following the link to the App store in the upper right corner.

Last but not least our demo for our Zoonies DS game was finished last friday. Zoonies is one of the games that could be in for quite a ride this fall. For now we are preparing our presentations for GamesCom in Cologne at the end of August.

I guess that’s the recap for now. Signing out for the summer, and we’ll see you all on the other side! Take care and try not to get sunburned.

The second Zenses game is yet another relaxing mind-puzzler with soothing music and high production value. Water Lilly is about solving puzzles before time runs out, however instead of turning the pieces to fit, you turn the puzzle itself. There are about 100 levels at the current stage, but gameplay tweaking is still taking place and we’ve received a lot of nice suggestions that we’ll try out for the next version of the game. This is excactly why it was so important to get members of the iPhone community to present their feedback. A couple of fresh eyes can do a whole lot for a game that’s been in development for some time.

I wish to thank the persons who participated and we’ll surely be setting up an additional Zenses test soon. Hopefully it’ll be before Summer Holiday rolls around and everybody goes outside to play instead of staring at their iPhone and iPods. Keep an eye out for Zenses – Water Lilly which should be launching late August.  You can check out the original Zenses Rainforest game by following the link on the right.

As the friends are taking a holiday trip away from the jungle their plane crashes deep within it. Here a tribe of savage, malicious Indians are hiding, lead by the evil Makatu. When Leo the Lion awakes from his unconcious sleep, he’s captured in a cage, Indians all around him. Making his escape from the village, it’s now up to the player and Leo to free his friends before Makatu captures yet another innocent animal.

Zoonies is the biggest game so far in the company’s ten year old history. It’s a mixed 2d/3d platformer with a unique form of interaction. Instead of steering Leo with the keypad, he is always on the run. It’s your job to use the stylus to keep him from harm. The game will be multiplatform as we are preparing both a DS release and an iPhone version of the game.

As mentioned earlier the Zoonies demo is just two weeks away from finalization. The entire project has been created in coorporation with the New Danish Screen. Menus are being put into place, new levels are being created and pixels are being drawn every second. What happens once the demo is finally finished? No one knows, but be prepared for a surprise as Zoonies are closing in to take the Nintendo DS stage.

Coincidentally, this update came at the same time the App started climbing the charts once again. It’s the fourth or fifth time the App reaches top 100 in the US and it’s amazing to see the feedback to this arcade classic. Let me put in a quick “thank you” to all the people supporting us out there!

However, ninjas and samurais are not all we have in store for you. Rumours of an iPad version and further updates are circulating, and we’ll announce the second we know what the next release will contain.

Best wishes from the entire Kiloo – Games production team.

Play as the Lion while you attempt to win the “It’s A Zoo” trophy. However this won’t be any ordinary football tournament. The hippos are carrying magnets, the monkeys are using jetpacks, the penguins are throwing snowballs and the crocodiles use their tales to get you off your feet.

After you’ve captured the trophy, play as any of the unique teams as you battle it out with different formations, entertaining arenas and cool abilities.

It’s A Zoo Cup is the perfect companion to a long, hot summer in front of the TV and on the sidelines.

The last week or so has seen the triumphant return of the Commodore 64 to the top of the charts. Not since the early nineties has this classic home computer experienced this amount of worldwide exposure. After becoming a free app on the fourth of April, C64 has taken the number one spot in more than ten countries. Furthermore, the app has been top 5 in more than 33 countries in the App. Store – including the US.

The launch of the free app came along with the much awaited version 1.6. This update added fifteen new games! Along with a couple of control fixes for specific games. The game list includes classics like Boulder Dash® II, Super Pipeline, Space Taxi, Wizball and Express Raider.

It’s truly exciting to see the C64 return to the top of the charts. It’s also a strong indicator of the longivity of these classic games that the Commodore is back as a best seller. We’ll continue to support the C64 app to ensure that it will become the no. 1 retro experience in the App. Store.

Last week saw the long awaited release of our new game, Zenses Rainforest for iPhone/iPod Touch. Rainforest is the first title in a series of active relaxation puzzle games from Kiloo.

In Zenses you have to gather different coloured shapes before they glide all the way down the waterfall. Featuring evocative graphics and a soothing soundtrack, Zenses is the best way to relax after a long hard day on the job. Originally developed for the Nintendo DS, we have now optimized the game to the Touch features offered by Apples products.

We’ve already begun development on the second game in the series, but we’ll take any feedback offered on Rainforest and do our very best to make this the preferred puzzle game in the App Store.

Go ahead and try Zenses for free and tell us your opinion of this journey into the relaxing mood of the jungle.

We have begun distribution of JackAttack – our remake of the Commodore 64 classic.

The essence of the game is “squish or be squished!”. That is, you fight the monsters by jumping on them – and avoid being jumped upon. At the same time, you try to the environment to your advantage. You can push around the blocks that make up the level and use them to squish the enemies.

The game includes both the classic game and an updated game mode with new graphics and enhanced gameplay. We’ve added new enemies and improved your maneuverability (you are now able to fly – only sideways, though). You play a ladybird in a vigorous battle against a tree and its henchmen – which means apples, oranges and plums (falling from its branches) and bees, spiders and fish.

The game is actually quite fun. And the graphics are really sweet and will instantly improve your mood :

Contact Rasmus Sørensen (rs@kiloo.com), if you are interested in distributing the game.

We’ve found the winner of our World Championship in Lemans!

For a long time, Benos75 was way ahead of the rest of us. But then Swobi entered the arena and he almost took the lead. Almost, but not quite.

With a score of 495520 Benos75 remained in 1st place and Swobi took the 2nd place with a score of 416590. They both had more than double the score of the third place! (Green 13 with a score of 198840)

I had to settle for a 31th place (PenguinOfDeath2), and Jeppe had got a feeble 450th place – were you even trying, Jeppe?! (Truth is: he was playing on my account when he made my record )

Congratulations Benos75, you will recieve a Commodore 64 (please contact games@kiloo.com).

We’ve updated our Whac-a-Mole game on App Store to a Valentine’s version.

The moles have dressed up as Cubid and are more annoying than ever… and you get to fly a biplane in one of the mini games
