Hello friends!
This is it! Today is the day! Critter Crunch is out in North America! So this afternoon, turn on your PlayStation 3, log on to the PlayStation Store, and download it! It’s only $6.99!
Until then, check out our launch trailer entitled “A Barf In The Night”:
For those of you unfamiliar with Capy’s hand-animated 60 frames-per-second arcade-puzzle extravaganza, here’s a quick recap:
- Crazy Single Player Modes: Adventure, Puzzle, Challenge and Survival
- Crazy Multiplayer Modes: Versus and Co-Op (offline and online via the Playstation Network)
- Crazy Trophies!
- Barf!
And just in case you missed the first batch of reviews, here are a couple of handy links to help you get up to speed with the word on the street:
Destructoid says:
“With Critter Crunch, Capybara has designed one of the most original and endearing titles the puzzle genre has seen in years…With solid gameplay mechanics and the iconic character designs of Biggs and company, it’s a game that belongs in any puzzle fan’s digital library.”
IGN says:
“It sets a new standard for graphics in the genre and is simply one of the best looking games on PSN. Luckily, it also has the gameplay to back up the looks. No puzzle fan should miss this. Even if you don’t consider yourself a fan of the genre, you’ll likely find Biggs’ charm hard to resist.”
And for those of you that just ADORE rainbow-colored spew, here’s another trailer just for kicks:
Yikes! That’s a whole lot of Critter Crunch up in this post. Go forth, Critter Crunch fans, and multiply.
See you online!
-Kris

Any word on a demo?
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 11:34 am
Hey reson8er (nice name, btw),
The demo is coming very soon, hopefully about 2 weeks from now. And it’ll features both single player and multiplayer online.

Can’t wait! I’m wondering if we’ll see some dlc for CC, specifically those amazing alternate skins for Biggs? I’m willing to pay exorbinate amounts of duckets for the DToid one.
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 11:36 am
We are indeed thinking about some interesting DLC…

Neobara | October 8th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Awesome. In other news, if Trine isn’t released on the US Playstation Store today i suggest we all light torches, grab our pitchforks, and take to the streets in rage. :D
But seriously though.. wtf

mailman27 | October 8th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Hi Kris,
Any chance we will be seeing a PSP version? This seems like it would be a natural fill for the handheld….
18
rojoro | October 8th, 2009 at 11:45 am
I’m hoping to buy this via Amazon, any knowledge on how long it’ll take between PSN store and Amazon updates?
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 11:47 am
We are looking into it, but I think it may take a bit of time since the Amazon store just launched. Hopefully soon!

AAAChampions | October 8th, 2009 at 11:47 am

well okay.. i may..
20
iExile | October 8th, 2009 at 11:50 am
This looks like it may end up as one of my favorite PSN titles, and for just $6.99? SOLD! Especially after reading IGN and Destructoid’s reviews.
21
Zuler | October 8th, 2009 at 11:50 am
Sweet! Can’t wait for the store to update o I can haz me some rainbow coloured barf! :DD

BigBoss712 | October 8th, 2009 at 11:51 am
Looks fun, I will probably get it later on.
23
IllinoisNukee | October 8th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Looks good. Can we expect Critter Crunch avatars once Sony finally starts adding new ones?
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 11:55 am
We would looooove to do that if we can. Keep your fingers crossed!
24
drdre74 | October 8th, 2009 at 11:55 am
I have the iphone version but I’ll be getting this version also for the vs and co-op modes. will any of the Sony designs you guys posted ever make it in as DLC :)
25
acerazer1 | October 8th, 2009 at 11:57 am
I will buy this soon. I don’t have six dollars right now in my sad existence, but I will soon, and I will use it to buy this piece of awesomeness.
26
eNriqueLeGrand | October 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Kris Piotrowski, I want your avatar bundled with the game, in TODAY update, please.
Also, I want to say that you have one of the best trophy designs EVAR!
Congrats for your work, looks amazing.
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Thanks you! Good luck trying to win all of those trophies! Trust me, finishing the single player game is worth it not just for the shiny gold trophy…. the ending of the game is something you can never un-see:)
27
DeviantBoi | October 8th, 2009 at 11:59 am
Will this be up for sale on Amazon’s PSN page later today?
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Nope, not today but hopefully soon.

megamixer | October 8th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
I don’t know if I can stomach another puzzle game… especially one that involves barfing! :o
29
PaiPai | October 8th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m sure the gameplay itself is as fantastic as it sounds…but I’m buying this game solely because the absolutely stellar art design and animation work. I’ve never seen anything quite like it in a game before and it’s what I’ve been waiting for, for a very long time.
Congrats on the launch! And big props to your art team. Can’t wait to download it, enjoy the art, and have some good barfin’ fun.
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I did not take your TOTAL COMPLEMENT the wrong way:)
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Wow, I got so excited I forgot how to spell…

MastahKillah82 | October 8th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
I was going to say this game looks like a little kids game, But when I saw the video I was laughing my butt off =P
31
Ozumo | October 8th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Even though I’m not really a fan of puzzle games, I will be buying this today due to the things you’ve done right: pricing it well (at $9.99 I wouldn’t even consider it), and taking the time to really polish this port of an iPhone game. The graphics and animation really look great. Also, having both on and off-line co-op and versus is great.
Normally I would wait for the demo, but I want to support a studio that does things right by the consumer. And this game actually looks fun, too! Great job, guys!

DonnyG | October 8th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
DUCKETS!!!!!!

PaiPai | October 8th, 2009 at 12:11 pm

…any chance of Remote Play support? Would love to be able to play this on my new PSP Go.
34
Edwerd | October 8th, 2009 at 12:12 pm

Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I CANNOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS….

That’s too long, I want it now!!!!
Capybara is a tease to the bitter end!
I hope you guys take a vacation after this game is released, you’ve earned it! Just don’t be gone for too long, Capy’s a company that needs to make more games!!

Zezzler | October 8th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Custom Soundtrack? Youtube video recording? In game Screenshots?
If not maybe in a patch?

InFaMoUs1- | October 8th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
If I buy this game will you promise to make some stuffed Biggs plushies and send me one xD
I’m buying the game but I want my own little Biggs to go along my Sackboy plushie!
Kris Piotrowski replied on October 8, 2009 at 12:47 pm
We are actually looking into making some limited edition Biggs plushies. Biggs basically looks like a plushie already so it’s a natural fit. We’ll post something on our site if we manage to figure this out.
43
InFaMoUs1- | October 8th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Wait use of tobacco? O.o
Is Biggs a smoker now haha

48
PSN_Tokeio | October 8th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Instant buy! Been waiting for this, finally PS3 controller support. The iPhone is fun but the touch screen isn’t ideal for a game like this. VERY HAPPY! NOM NOM NOM!
49
Anubis80 | October 8th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
CRAP! I just used my $20 PSN card to buy other games on tuesday! Well hopefully I can get another one really soon. I love puzzle games and this one really caught my attention when it was announced for the PSN. Cant wait to get it though.

myfrozenscars | October 8th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
How big is the download in terms of megabytes?
Nathan Vella replied on October 8, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I believe it’s around 450mb, most of which is 1080p 60fps hand-animated 2D art :)
