(original post) (Should you happen to know who's behing Studio Maarten, do let me know! Because I can't find any contact info about them :) Not in their games, not on the internet).
UPDATE: I've been in contact with Maarten! He doesn't have a page or twitter, only a youtube-channel. He was nicely surprised to be on top of this list and promises more games in this style in 2014!

furiosity, an update

Now that my mobile puzzler Furiosity was released three weeks ago, here's a little update. As you know Furiosity is now available in the Apple, Google and Amazon appstores. First of all I would like to thank everyone who already bought the app and for giving it such a warm welcome, because the average user rating is 4.9/5.0!
Here are some highlights of press attention the app already received: Indie game magazine reviewed Furiosity and rewarded it with a score of 85. Super Game Droid reviewed the app and called it a surefire hit and unique puzzler. Appstore Arcade called Furiosity a very intriguing indie puzzler. Furiosity was also reviewed on JayIsGames and the App Spy, and it was mobile pick on indiegames.com.
Some other bonte news: for the moment I'm busy making my usual Christmas game, ho ho ho! Expect a brand new free browser puzzle game, not a sequel to one of my games, but something new... so see you soon with a new bontegame!
Oh, one more thing, if you bought the Furiosity app and liked it, please please please please take a moment to leave a rating and/or review in the appstore! It would mean a lot to me! Thanks!
