Hello All of Europe, Australia and More!
Kris from Capy here once again with a quick announcement: Critter Crunch is set to appear on your PlayStation Store today! (Please) GO GET IT!!!!
And you’ll be happy to know that the demo is out at the same time! The demo features a sampling of single player levels, as well as online versus multiplayer for you to enjoy.
The full game features a whole bucket-full of single player modes, like adventure, puzzle and survival, as well as online and local multiplayer in versus & co-op flavors. Of course, Critter Crunch also features a ton of great trophies to collect, competitive leaderboards for every game mode and 1080p art that will fill your brain with magic.
Critter Crunch has been universally praised by critics and players alike since its release in North America and we’re extremely excited to finally bring our HD puzzle opus to a whole new audience!
We hope you give it a whirl. If you have any questions, ask away in the comments below and I’ll do my best to answer!
-Kris
PS: Check out the official site for more info on the game, like pretty screenshots, videos and Bigg’s-shaped barfing pumpkins

Hey Kris,
Thanks for the great Price, this is no ripoff like many other EU released Games. 9,99$ in US & 5,49€ here effords me to show you 2Thumbsup
i have the Game already & completed the adventure Mode yesterday. Now i´m off to get all Puzzles solved…Phew they get really headcracking with the Time..
Challenge & Survival r really motivating too *g*
But the coolest is the online Part…. 2 compete with another Biggs is so much un & can take long to finally win the challenge… Barf!
hope we see some more Adventure DLC for this great Game in the Future..

Isn’t this just Warios Woods?
Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 2:30 pm by Nathan Vella
Give the demo a try – it’s definitely not Wario Woods, although that is a truly wonderful game.

is there online fucntionality?
Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 2:29 pm by Nathan Vella
There are 2 modes playable online via the PlayStation®Network or locally.
The first is Versus mode, where you try to crush your opponent with critters by popping huge chains or using unique power-ups.
The second is Co-op mode, where 2 players work together to fend off the critter onslaught.

hey seany1,
Kris is extremely busy working on Capy’s next title this very moment, but he’ll still be answering questions a little later.
As for sales in North America, we’re not doing too badly at all. Things picked up a bit after the demo and we hope our European friends help our numbers too

Great game at a great price. Glad it has finally made its way over onto the EU store. Just a shame we had to wait longer that our US counterparts.

You NEED to submit these cute little critters to Sony for consideration as new Avatars.
Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 3:46 pm by Nathan Vella
We’ll do our best… we’d love to use them as our avatars too!

IS there any chance of a PSP version coming someday?
Even if not, I’ll buy the big version – looks fun.

hi nathan,
i’m playing the US ver. now. Have 2 questions to ask:
- My friend and i could not play online together. She uses wireless network connection and i use the wired one. There’s always messages popped up say sth like: “network connection not compatible”
- Is there any DLC in form of costumes for Bigg… Coz it would be really nice to see him in Sony’s style
Thanx and best regards

Not my usual type of game but occasionally something like this has got me addicted so I’m gonna give the demo a go and see if I like it. Thanks for actually having a demo too.

I’m pretty sure my wife will love this one, I’ll hold off downloading till I’ve finished fallout 3 or she’ll never let me on the PS3

Time to CRUNCH, POP & PUKE!
The brand new cereal from Capybara’s.
To say I’ve been looking forward to some more puzzling would be an understatement. Great demo, well worth releasing simultaneously!

Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 5:41 pm by DarkKnight__85
w00t! Been waiting for this since i heard Nathan on PSNation podcast! I’ll be buying it as soon as the store updates!
31
Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 5:47 pm by Wiwo
I’ve just bought it
I’m downloading the demo right now and the I’ll download the “unlocker” for the full version.
I bought it before downloading the demo becouse in the Spanish Store it said “Download the full version” instead of saying I should download the demo first
But now… I only have to wait a little… and then…

been waiting for ages for this and had i not checked the blog i’d never have know. someone has to make sure these games get the marketing they deserve, it’s not on the “latest” section on the store and given that i check that every week as opposed to trawling through the whole store for new stuff i’m sure loads of peeps will not even know about it.

Please don’t despair if the sales aren’t amazing.
You have a fantastic, beautiful title. I will be getting it when I have some money (Christmas) and have been enjoying the US demo for sometime.
It’s just unfortunate that many people see the ‘cutesy’ (yet amazing) art style and fail to grasp that the underlying game is fantastic too.
Keep up the GREAT work!

Posted on 19 November, 2009 at 9:05 pm by Kradziej
Whoa, I’d played the demo and the INSTANTLY bought the full game – it’s great. Cute, smart, funny and good-looking. And the price really encourages to buy it, not like with most of the PSN games.

This game is absolutely incredible, I can’t get enough of it…I won a code for it on a contest run by Capy and PSnation podcast…I just adore this game, downloadable game of the year, easily.

Delighted that this game has finally made it to European shores after an agonising wait. What has made it even better is the incredibly low price instead of the usual ripoff exchange conversion we get from alot of developers on the PSN. Its basically a no brainer and truly in the realms of impulse buy.
Congratulations Kris on making a truly beautiful game thats backed up with equally stunning gameplay. Thanks in particular for including online play modes; so many PSN titles lack such features (only providing online leaderboards) and yet seem tailor made for them.
I hope it proves to be a runaway success in Europe after its reportedly slow start in the USA (glad to hear sales have increased since the demo – come on America, $7 is near giveaway!?!). I look forward to whatever Capy decide to make next.

I bought it too and it’s so addictive; my nephew and I are really enjoying this game online. I recommend it guys.
And nice price!!!
Regards.

i just wanna thank you good people for two things: the game and the price tag
i tried the demo last night with my girlfriend and we were instantly hooked! i went to the store just to check the price, expecting the usual bad conversion rate (or lack of it) and let me tell you, for 5.49€ i bought it on the spot!
so thank you for this great game and thank you for an honest price

I didn’t know what to expect when I bought it (good reviews made the works). I was impressed by the gameplay which shines on advanced stage and online; but I was amazed by the attention brought to details (and the philosophy lines
)
Looking forward for anything Capybara now.

I didn’t really know what the game was about, so I tried the demo. Bought the game right away as it seemed like fun and the price was excellent.
It’s a really fun game, it’s very addictive and challenging enough to spend several hours on. Easily one of the better purchases on PSN.

i am so unlucky…I get a £20 PSN card and buy zombie apockalyspe and then critter crunch is put on the PSN, do you except an IOU?
