The Frostbite update was, at last, submitted to Apple for approval today. Did we take our sweet time with this gametype? Yep. Did we break our first promise, and then push the boundaries of our second promise? Absolutely. If something sucked, we unsucked it. And the result? A unique, fourth Tilt to Live gametype that we’re confident will rock your socks off. We’ll post all the details as soon as the update hits the App Store, but you’ll probably be too busy playing it to care.
For now, you can check out the fabulous Frostbite theme, composed by the very talented Whitaker Blackall. You may recall Whitaker’s previous Tilt to Live track for the Code Red gametype. His creativity and attention to detail continue to impress us. As far as we’re concerned, he is the sound of Tilt to Live.

So what day do u think it will be in the AppStore?
I always loved TtL for its addictive-ness and the awesomeness of its soundtrack, even back when it had only one level!
This new track is just epic. Can’t wait to exterminate frozen up dots while it’s blasting through my headphones. ^^
I love the new track, it’s somehow exactly what I thought it might perhaps maybe kinda sound like whenever I imagine I’m dreaming of pretending I’m playing Frostbite. I think Whitaker is the third genius in your crew. I too am eagerly waiting with with iphone ( and headphones ) in hand.
^^.
what a sweet name, Whitaker Blackall. Black and White.
Sick new soundtrack! I’ll be waiting for this. c:
Thanks for all the nice comments. I’m happy you all like the new track!
That is the BEST video game music I’ve heard in a long time! I love how it still sticks to the classic Tilt to Live theme, but it also adds some great new beats and tunes! And it really sounds “cold” and “mystical” so it fits the snow/ice theme of frostbite perfectly! Kudos to Whitaker Blackall! Cannot wait!
Yet another great theme Whitaker!
Kind of cool Pulp Fiction-esque Mexican surfer sound, with a undertones of Danny Elfman…SWEET STUFF!
I’d love to bear the track, but will have to wait for the update to go live I guess.
iPhone + Flash = Nothing
Actually, I have Flash disabled by default on my MBP, too. ClickToFlash lets me choose when I want to suffe… Um, I mean, choose when I want to ‘watch’ flash content.
But I wait for the update to go live with much anticipation…
i will always remember that the huge update was released on my b-day 😀 or atleast sent in >.>
with the next update will you add the achievement of 10 minutes in gauntlet mode? 😀
ps: sorry for my english im italian XD
@Zago91-ITA- The 10 minute award for gauntlet is already in the current version. So I’m not sure I understand.
@Alex: I meant 10 minutes with 3 lifes 😀
I’ve been checking practically every hour since this was posted to see if the update is up. Looking forward to it is an understatement. And that music would have to be the best yet for Tilt, and better than any music (I’ve heard) for any other iPhone game.
YES!!!
Sweet music too.
Will this update include a resolution update for the retina display?
@Ross No retina display support in this update, sorry.
i have an idea for a new game mode. its capture the flag like. so you have to get a bubble shield and detonate it in a certain highlighted part of the screen. you’ll have limited amount of time to do this and you’ll have to dodge the dots without detonating your bubble shield (you can use the other weapons to protect you from the dots). please get back to me and say if you love/hate/think-its-ok. thanks!

I’m not a huge fan of the Code Red music, but I really dig this. Nice work.
@Dunk or just make it like the “Human Pinball” achievement. You have to grab it and go back and forth wall to wall. But I think their done with TTL. I think they said it in the interviews, Frostbite was their last one, before they move onto another title.
I think the next minor update after Frostbite should involve the purple wave. I think it would be great to be able to fire it at will instead of rushing to position yourself so you get a big group.
Hmm, it’s been the usual 6 days, and still no update. Maybe there was a problem.
I was thinking the same thing, hmm… :<
The last major update took 5 days for approval…
@Tilt yeah an achievement would be cool. but i still think another game type would be really awesome. do you really think that their done with TTL? wow, life’s not worth living anymore! haha jk
yeah i agree with Nick. I’m not a huge fan of Code Red’s song but this one sounds Awesome.
@Tilt.
really? it’s a shame there’s no more updates
Just release the new update… Damn Appstore! Really nice music.
If it doesn’t get accepted soon, it’s gonna be August, not July 🙁
awesome game! need the update 😀
i hope there will not be a second post it in the banner
PS: the music of the whole game is great, too!
Where the heck is it!?!?! I need this update!
FYI – Everyone needs to put a rating on the app store for these guys. There are a lot of ratings bashing them for the last update crashing.
Yeah, let’s make this a 5 star game, theres no reason it shouldn’t be anyways.
Update: At the moment we’re still in Apple’s approval queue, not under scrutiny yet. Usually takes about a week, give or take, and this is just the start of day 7. Thanks for your patience, guys!
Wow, still in the queue after this long. Apple’s employees must be slacking.
They should employ more anyway, or find a quicker system, because a week average is pretty ridiculous in today’s society.
will you give us any preview of the gameplay ?
This is really taking way too long until the update is on the app store, c’mon Apple hurry up!
I don’t think this update is ever coming out >.<
it’s up <3
Wooo! It’s out. Downloading now. 😀
ITS UP ITS UP WOOOOO IM CALLING IN SICK TO WORK TOMORROW TO PLAY THIS GAME
I’m currently fourth on the leaderboards but I know that won’t last long. xD
