Flock It! update on its way
posted by James Kay

We're very pleased to start the new decade with Flock It! making the final nominations list on the 2009 Best App Ever Awards in three categories! It has been nominated for Best Action Game, Best Casual Game and Best Game Controls, and this is all thanks to you voting for us! The voting for the finals ends this month, so please go over there again and vote for Flock It!

This hasn't meant that we've been resting on our laurels, of course! Though we did enjoy a little break over the festive season, we've been hard at work on several updates, including the Flock It! one, which we're play-testing right now!

The new update, which is free for everybody who has bought the game, will double the number of levels (from 15 to 30!), add two more manic minigames (making that a total of 6 now), add special awards for achieving special milestones in the game and Facebook support so you can show off to your friends how good a shepherd you are! The extra levels aren't just challenging, they also introduce new graphics; there are now winter themed levels, autumn levels and spring levels, each with a unique visual style. There are also scarecrows now, extra elements in the game that the sheep don't particularly like. They won't harm the sheep, but they will try to avoid them unless you really push them hard.

There have also been several tweaks, like the noisy sheep and dog sounds, which have been toned down a little, better flocking and general smoother gameplay. We really hope you'll enjoy the update as much as we did making it. And we're not finished yet. We didn't have time to include all the ideas we had for this update, so we are already thinking of the next one. If you have anything specific you want to see in Flock It! why not let us know by emailing info@score-studios.jp?

On top of that two previous games, BailOut and Score Videopoker have their own minor updates coming, concerning visual tweaks and global leaderboards. These too will soon go into submission, so keep your eyes open!
