OVERVIEW

Like any thriving species, our award-winning, critically-acclaimed puzzle game, Critter Crunch has taken another evolutionary leap forward and landed on the PlayStation Network! Winner of the IGF Mobile Best Game of 2008 and IGN Wireless Best Puzzle Game of 2007 awards, Critter Crunch has blossomed into an HD, next-gen feast for puzzle-hungry gamers!

Take control of the oh-so-cuddly Biggs, a loveable jungle creature with an iron-clad stomach, indomitable tongue and fierce devotion to his offspring. Biggs is in search of the jewel-rich critters that invade his habitat once a season, and using his tongue to pluck them from their vines, stuffs them into the waiting mouths of larger critters. This sets off chain reactions of bursting critters that drop the tasty jewels for Biggs to regurgitate for his hungry family!

Shin.. Where do you find such cool news before others? is it your ability to read multiple languages?

[Shin-Ra]

Just googled largest rodent, then capybara games.

Looking back at the blog comments now I probably didn't even need to do that.

Critter Crunch! PlayStation Network! Barf!
Posted by Kris Piotrowski // Creative Director, Capy

Hello, new best friends!

This is Kris. I’m the creative director at Capy, which means I’m by-far the coolest guy at the studio. And Capy is pretty cool, so that’s not just talk. Anyway, who is Capy, right? Well, Capy is an indie studio from the sometimes frozen, other times disgustingly humid Canadian wonderland known as Toronto.

So, um, check this trailer…but only if you’re down with technicolor barf!

[TRAILER]

Boing! That was me announcing Critter Crunch for PlayStation Network!

Everyone at Capy has been working super-hard creating this crazy little arcade-puzzler (and filling it with humongous doses of love) so we’re very excited to finally announce its existence. Critter Crunch is fueled by an original and award-winning “food chain” puzzle mechanic, which is all about feeding critters into each other until they burst. It’s exactly as cute as it is horrible and sad, just like nature itself!

The game features a bunch of single player modes like adventure & puzzle, as well as online and local multiplayer in versus & co-op flavors, with a plethora of fancy trophies to collect. It also has lots of really pretty 1080p art that should make your HDTV happy.

I hope you like it!

If you have any questions, fire away in the comments below and I’ll do my best to answer them…and check back for more PlayStation.Blog updates soon!

I was looking at the iPhone version yesterday and the art/animation impressed me a lot.

i have this game on my ipod touch .. its OK i dont think id buy it for my console though as i think half of what makes it fun on hte touch is the touch control .. dont think it would be the same with a controller

Critter Crunch, winner of the IGN Wireless Best Puzzle Game of 2007 and IGF Mobile Best Game of 2008 awards, is making its way to the Apple iPhone and iPod touch! This innovative puzzler allows gamers to take control of Biggs, a friendly, furry forest dweller with an unending hunger for tasty critters. Using his long tongue, Biggs must set the food chain in motion by launching smaller critters into the waiting mouths of larger ones, clearing the screen and filling his belly. This humorous, brain-busting puzzle game is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end.

i will say that the puzzle mode ( clear board in x moves ) is more fun than the actual story mode ..

[prankster]

the pics look great. i have the 'lite' version of this on my iphone and its decent. might pick this up on psn when it comes out.

[saprano]

Is this exclusive?

[Shin-Ra]

Apart from the preexisting mobile versions with less content and features, yes.

[browinie]

Cute art direction, but it's one of those concepts that lack playable longevity. I can only see myself enjoying it for about 10-15mins before my interest topples.
