We’re still getting our ducks in a row for a Tilt to Live 2 release date, but we have collected all the excellent new music by REdVOLT Audio‘s Mike Reagan (Outwitters, Pudding Monsters, Angry Birds Star Wars) into a soundtrack for you to stream or purchase. Proceeds are split between the Feed the Composer Initiative and the Help Tilt to Live 2 Break Even Fund. My favorite track, personally, is Undercover Arrow.
Our fixes are slowly turning from game changing to nit-picky. The Code Red theme, our last bit of music, was delivered this week, and the soundtrack is being cut together as I type this. All things considered, we’re still really optimistic that we can land a release date sometime this month. Don’t forget you can sign up for an email reminder the day Tilt to Live 2 hits the App Store, or follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

The dot bombs from my sketches made it into the game, after all! When you see a circular warning, clear out fast. Flying through their target-shaped weakpoints will dismantle these guys into a friendly, dot-dispatching nuke explosion.
You probably saw this weapon featured in our games section, or in our first icon pass. It actually follows along with your arrow’s momentum, so a few good flicks starts it spinning around you, wiping whole crowds of dots off the map.
It’s our first official screenshot! Note the fancy new dot renderer, which makes them blend and squish together like liquid. Up top, you’ll also notice a new dot value display. Each dot you eliminate ticks this up, growing your score exponentially over time. There’s a new combo system that helps grow your dot value even faster, which we’ll show off later on.
Our goal is to have Tilt to Live 2 submitted to Apple by the end of the month. Stay tuned to see if we succeed!
You may recall this older post, where I was sketching ideas for a shield weapon for Tilt to Live 2. I mentioned we were taking it in another direction, which wound up being the “cheap dot costume that makes everyone ignore you, even though you are still killing them” direction. We call it the Brilliant Disguise.
Things are really starting to come together.
Big thanks to our web helper Mike Berg (of WeHeartGames.com) for working with us on a new, prettier Games section. You may find our newest page worth checking out.
- “I got this really high score and thought of you, and how you can’t beat it.”
- “You tilt like a well hung picture frame. They don’t even tilt.”
- “Kneel, you ham-handed peasant!”
- “If this highscore lasts longer than four hours, consult a physician.” (I don’t think this one will make it into the game)
Just recently finished a playthrough of Tiny Thief, a point and click adventure game with really, really pretty explosions. If you were looking for something that’s nothing like Tilt to Live to play while you wait for Tilt to Live to come out, boy is this your game! There’s a lot of imaginative set pieces here, and a great sense of style and humor. I spent more time than I’d like waiting for people to walk across the room, but ultimately I had fun sneaking and tapping around for secrets.
