So Tilt to Live Easter was an April Fools joke, and we apologize to anyone who got super psyched about the Resurrection feature. Today is April 2nd, and this is the real deal.
I’d like to start by saying that we love Tilt to Live, and there’s still a long list of update ideas we could try. This is probably not the last you’ll see of the old arrow n’ dots, but let’s give it a rest for now. We feel a need to demonstrate to ourselves and the world that we are no one-trick pony. We want to be such a tricky pony!
In that spirit: Game II is a multiplayer-focused, turn-based strategy game for everyone. “For everyone” means that you won’t have to play a 25 minute tutorial before you can start having fun. There aren’t 30 buttons onscreen, there’s no dialogue to skip, and you don’t have to be a space marine. Turn-based meaning you can play a match all in one sitting, or back and forth at your convenience like Words with Friends.
The prototype is literally just being finished, so not a ton of details feature-wise yet. We’re definitely going for local and online multiplayer (with matchmaking), so you can have fun with a friend or with a Stranger Danger. You’ll have a number of races to choose from, each with a unique advantage on the battlefield. Below are some characters concepts for the Plant and Cuddly teams (“for everyone” also means there’s a cuddly team).
Also pictured: a severed head from the Robot team. Production for Game II is now in full swing, and it will be ready for release later this year on iPhone, iPod Touch, & iPad. 
Whether it will be two apps or universal has yet to be determined. We’ll continue blogging this weekly-ish with additional artwork and updates on our progress.

From reading this once, it seems quite vague… BTW, the cuddly looks like a huggable from Battle Bears (in a way).
and it was only 37 minutes!
Cool! Interested to see where this goes, as it’s a little vague on the details right now…
Any details on what you’re actually doing in the game?
The respawn in 72 hours was a total giveaway. So was the easter eggs.
Also, I wanna play as the robot. Robots are cool.
Looks very cute. I think universal will be better.
Anyway to get in the beta? I was in the beta for numerous TTL betas… Id love to get it on this one. ๐
Cool, but vague… It still looks awesome.
I was surprised that anyone actually fell for TTL Easter. But anyway, this looks good, cant wait for more!
Oh yeah, and I’d like to beta test too!
This seems to be a very nice concept ๐ I don’t want to wait for it ๐
I have to know, literally HAVE to know.
Will this game be multiplayer only or simply have lot’s of multiplayer. If there is no campain/set of single player missions etc that make the game only playable with a friend, I just lost 73% of my excitement. No, really.
Can I be a beta tester too? ๐

This looks great!
Nice new game, but I was psyched about a new Tilt to Live update, the best iOS game ever and one of the best games ever for any platform. Perfect iPhone game. Please keep up the updates.

So if I won your first email raffle, and chose to win next prize, which was this, do I still get it? I got another email recently for the same soundtrack that I bought/ then later won through you guys
Is the actual title of the game going to be called Game II or is that just what it’s going to be called for now?
Also glad to hear you guys are working on something new, sounds great.
You still have purple to do on Ttl. Not now, but it seems weird without it.
Sorry, I have literally zero interest in a “multiplayer-focused, turn-based strategy game.” I will not buy.
Uh…what type of game is this? you don’t happen to have any screenshots do you?
If it’s like an RTS, only turn-based, I’m out.
anyway what price is it?
You can’t decide whether this game is good or not by the current description. I mean, you could describe TTL like: ‘Oh, it’s just this random game where you kill dots with an arrow’. Sound interesting?
[…] Game II project was announced yesterday on One Man Left’s blog. The details are extremely scarce at this point, however, the company describes Game II as a […]
Hmmm turn-based strategy just not for me =[. If it was something like an action-rpg I’d be drooling on my carpet..Something about turn-based is just really tedious for me. But I guess I’ll have to wait and see, it may just surprise me!
I can’t wait for this! You guys are awesome! So many Negative Nancy’s in this post. I know whatever it is you’ll make it great.
^^^ this.
I’m 99% certain that this will be awesome.
Not really a huge fan of this genre, but I trust that my hommies at OneManLeft will craft an awesome game that I’m going to love. I had my doubts about Tilt to Live (a LONG time ago…) and now I’m a huge fan. The design looks good. I hope you guys don’t intend to title it “Game II.” And if your looking for Beta Testers…
Is this going to be a combination of fire emblem and starcraft?
