    I have been making levels all week so I decided to take a break and add something fun :)
    He flies away if the object he lands on is moved or if the tongue gets close. The object he lands on is randomized as well :)

    I could see the new fly animation being confusing to the player initially. Does it serve a purpose, or is he just for show? If I was playing and I saw it, I would expect to be able to catch him with the tongue, maybe as a secondary objective or something.

    It is just for fun and to bind the gameplay together with the intro a bit more. He doesn't show everytime though and simply flies away if you interact with him in any way. I look at him as Gregs friend through the worlds :)

    Hey @Zilk - Just wanted to send you some praise. This is one of the few games I've been looking forward to - to release.
    Will surely check it out when it releases on iOS.
    Congrats.

    The wait is almost over! I'm practically pulling my own tongue out in anticipation!

    Thanks! Yeah I noticed this morning, feels really nice! I especially liked this part below :D

    "I've got to say that the polish, art style, and interesting tongue-stretching mechanic is a really impressive effort coming from just one guy. It'd be impressive coming from a team of fifty."

    If anyone else wants to check it out

    @Zilk You getting any intentional press coverage arranged for launch to boost those numbers? I've no doubt it'll be featured on Apple's lists soon enough, but just wanted to know what kind of efforts you're putting in elsewhere to prep for launch.

    Noodlecake is handling most of the marketing and launch plans, I'm just doing whatever I can by myself besides that :)

    Oh my god, I love this game so much already. Just tried pulling Greg's tongue out too far and saw his face turn purple and laughed out loud at work...

    Excellent work, @Zilk, and congrats on your successful launch! I expect to be seeing this one in the press a good bit!

    First review is in with a 4.5 rating from AppAdvice!

    "I believe it’s time for someone to step up to the plate and have us all fall in love with another cute, green creature, and Pull My Tongue has certainly done the job"

    Pull My Tongue got into top #10 in the US and UK App Store! It is also ranked top 25 in over 40 countries including Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Russia and a bunch more :)

    It has gotten a few bad reviews because of a crash bug I have on non-metal Retina devices but I have a update awaiting review that fixes that. So most of those pesky one stars should go away when that hits.

    My son loves your game! I had to help him get a couple extra stars and enjoy it greatly. Very fun and entertaining.
    This is a great example of adding in a lot of polished "character" into the game and the player characters. Great work.

    Would love to see a post mortem when the dust has settled. Would enjoy reading your thoughts about having IAPs in addition to setting a price, and setting up metals and balancing the levels.

    Awesome, kids are the best reviewers ever! If you get your kid to play it there is something there :D

    Absolutely, I'm probably gonna write something up when the android version is out and everything has calmed down a bit :)
