    Hi there,

    it has been quite a while since Shadow Vamp! But finally, we've managed to release at least one of the new games we are working on before this year's end.

    If you ever wondered what happens when you nest a lot of game objects within each other and then start rotating them - this is exactly what we've been doing and what now became "Zoo Turn":



    When we started playing around with this rotation concept, we soon noticed the potential for a very challenging, but yet simple and addictive gameplay experience.
    Then Sarah, one of our 3D artists, came up with the idea to take a giraffe's neck instead of rotating blank cubes... and she also knew the ideal title for the game. Several more animals and 210 levels later, Zoo Turn was born! :)

    As we're also working on a big new runner title, we've been developing Zoo Turn as a sideline, so what was originally planned for a summer release now became a christmas title. We have no idea if this was a smart move, but we just didn't want to wait any longer... :)

    Currently, it's available for iOS.
    OSX as well as Android are planned for January.

    Check it out for free here:

    Best,

    Thanks!
    And it can get very tricky with many segments... :)

    I'm gonna tell you a story:
    IT DOESN'T WORK!
    No, seriously though, I downloaded the game and after I see the animated intro logo I get to a black screen that stays there. iPhone5 iOs7.
    Cheers

    Same here, but after a short while it switches to GameCentre login. Did you do anything with Game Centre?

    That might be the cause, I know I had Edge connection when I tried. Maybe the "No connection" error isn't handled properly. I'll try again and let you know

    EDIT: It works when I'm connected

    Strange! It should start even without Game Center connection. Actually, I'm never connected at all and it worked all the time.

    Wow, thanks a lot! :)
    I've added your review on top of our App Store description! :cool:
    Might take some time for it to actually appear on the store, though.

    You're most welcome! :)

    By the way, one can also unlock the other animals simply by playing and collecting enough stars.
    You don't necessarily need the IAPs to unlock them, these are just a "shortcut"...
