Critter Crunch Hits PSN October 8 for $6.99!

Posted by Kris Piotrowski // Creative Director, Capy

Hello Blog friends,

Kris from Capy here, signing in just to drop a quick little announcement bomb on all y’all brains:

Just in case you didn’t actually watch on the video above, here’s what you missed:

CRITTER CRUNCH IS COMING TO A NORTH AMERICAN PLAYSTATION 3 NEAR YOU ON OCTOBER 8TH, AKA “THE DAY OF THE CRUNCH” AKA “CRITTER HOUR” AKA “BIGGS’ BIG BBQ BASH.”

And it’s $6.99. SIX DOLLARS AND NINETY-NINE CENTS.

Why? Because we love you, and because we care. And it let us do that animated switcharoo-thing with the “9″ transforming into the “6″ after Biggs peels the price, which we think worked out really well.

Anyway, let me break it down for you in equation form:

(Biggs + Smalls + Critter Crunch) x (October 8th (You – 6.99)) = AWESOME FUN PUZZLE PARTY.

Stay tuned for lots more info on the PlayStation Blog and on www.crittercrunch.com as we approach October 8th.

-Kris

The1stMJC  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:08 pm

Was somewhat interested in the game before, but with that price I will more than likely pick it up as soon as it is released.
Good Job

AKGermany  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:12 pm

This game is totally awesome on iPod Touch. I can’t wait to play it on PS3 – should be even better.
Is the release date for Europe the same?

Kris Piotrowski's Avatar

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 3:22 pm

CC is coming to Europe soon after the North American launch and the price will be in a similar ballpark, meaning that it will be a damn fine deal for the Europeans as well.

16

Ejsponge61  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:14 pm

Great news! But I still wish this was on PSP Go, then it would be a definite buy.

17

SpyDudeFX  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:16 pm

So when are we getting TRINE? Game looks good, price is good too. I hope the trophies are decent.

Anubis80  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Cant wait. I love puzzle games and this one is just too cool looking to pass up!

Deadaim357  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:19 pm

Any word on trophies?

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 3:25 pm

hey hey,
Check out our site (www.capybaragames.com) or the Critter Crunch site (www.crittercrunch.com) for a list of trophies. We’ll have them posted for you sometime TOMORROW!!

20

Microshock  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:20 pm

Wow. First, that’s an awesome price. I may actually buy it since i assumed it’d come out at 10- 15 dollars.

And it looks like a nice game.

So consider it an almost-sell? Depending on if i get enough money for this and uncharted 2

Kris Piotrowski's Avatar

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 3:30 pm

I would suggest putting a one shiny quarter into a jar labeled “Critter Crunch Fund” every day. You could then buy CC in exactly 28 days.

21

MakasuUS  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Yes!! Rainbow barf ftw! Cant wait! Yeah, and also curious about the trophies :)

JumpMan33  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:23 pm

ye11owpharmacy  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:33 pm

I’m not gonna lie, I’m only buying this game for the rainbow colored puke.

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 3:37 pm

I am okay with that.

25

DHILIFE  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:34 pm

This game is sweet on my iPhone, but I always thought that it would be better with an actual controller. And that price… makes it a must buy! Can’t wait!

26

Cat_Corye  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:35 pm

Sorry for what I’m going to say but “About F@$$ TIME!!” =^-^= ok now that is done, been planing on getting this for me and my gf to play and it seems to be funny.

starBlinky01  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:36 pm

Wow October is going to be a great month for a PS3 gamer. NBA2K10, Uncharted 2, and now Critter Crunch!!!

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 3:49 pm

Thanks for including CC in that batch of awesome. I am also super pumped about Uncharted 2! I’m not a sports game fan, but I’m sure NBA2k10 is going to be awesome…

nickjd331  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:46 pm

I really like the idea. You have taken a fairly simple but original puzzle game and made it totally unique.

By the way, I also like Kris’s replies!

35

B-RadGfromOV  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:50 pm

Hmm, cool video, but what does it all mean? Still waiting for a price btw. Here’s hoping it’s at least three dollars less than 9.99.

katsuo7171  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 pm

I like how you respond to the comments not relating to your game. Seriously I would just ignore them.

Anyway, I love this on my Itouch and it’s just the demo. :) So for this price it’s a great deal, and I might buy it..

rafael_martines  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 3:58 pm

I hear that for every copy of Critter Crunch sold in Canada, Capy is gonna vomit on Sony Canada HQ in Toronto in demand of a Canadian PSN Video Store. And other ridiculous things I’m prepared to promise on their behalf.

LN_MEXWARRIOR  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Awesome news! One question!

In-game XMB Music? And if not would it be possible to patch it later?

Kris Piotrowski's Avatar

Kris Piotrowski replied on September 23, 2009 at 4:10 pm

Hey hey,
In-game XMB didn’t make it into the release build, but rest assure that it will be there ASAP in the first patch.

44

Moosehole  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 4:06 pm

Excellent price point! I love anything that breaks the onslaught of $14.99 games that would have been $9.99 last year.

Thanks!

45

wolfzero1  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 4:07 pm

cool, I have this game on my Ipod touch & while the controls take some getting used to is really fun.

I look forward to getting it.

46

Ramage  |  September 23rd, 2009 at 4:14 pm

DAY ONE PURCHASE FROM ME SIRS!

Tried it on my girlfriend’s iphone and felt the screen was too small and i couldn’t get enough control which is when i was thinking “hey, a surefire button press on the ps3 would do the trick” and sure enough i’ll be able to enjoy it soon enough.

and for under 10 dollars, what is this a yard sale!?

47
