REVIEWS OF SKELETON JUMP

November 3, 2011 in company, game, review, skeleton jump

Skeleton Jump has been out on iTunes for just over a week now, and our 4.5 star-rated game is already starting to get reviewed across the web! We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback and Paul and I are hard at work on an update, including 15 new levels and all-new original music from Mitch Parker. Please continue to send in your comments and suggestions via iTunes, this blog, or feel free to contact us via email (listed in the ABOUT section of our site).

Our favorite review this week comes from 148Apps—a site I check out often for game and app recommendations for my four year-old boy. You can read Bobby Gooding’s full review here of our “fun and simple little game.”

We’d love to know what you think of the game! Toyceratops are dedicated to making fun and unique mobile games for you, so let us know what you’d like to see in the future, or what you like about our first game.

MUSIC

October 24, 2011 in game, halloween, skeleton jump, treat

Can a great game exist without amazingly danceable music? We didn’t want to risk it and find out. That’s why we got music-maker extraordinaire, Mitch Parker, to create all-new original music for Skeleton Jump. We asked Mitch to write a few words about his experience making the music for Skeleton Jump and to share one of his favorite songs from the game. Download: Jumping Bones. 

Hello folks! My name’s Mitch & I got to write some music for Skeleton Jump. It was tons of fun coming up with tunes for Skele Tim to groove to. That guy’s got some SWEET MOVES!

To help get started in writing the songs, the brilliant gents at Toyceratops sent me some examples of Skele Tim in action. I tried to work out sounds that complement the fun visuals & feel of the game. There isn’t much in the way of Trick-or-Treating music out there, so I had to draw on my own experience as a Trick-or-Treater for some melodic inspiration. Fortunately, my friends & I didn’t encountered nearly as many of the obstacles on Halloween night that you find in Skeleton Jump!

I hope you have as much fun grooving to the tunes in Skeleton Jump as I had putting them together.

Be sure to check out Mitch’s blog to see his mind-boggling doodles and drawings!

HALLOWEEN

October 5, 2011 in book, halloween

“Tonight is the night when dead leaves fly,

like witches on switches across the sky,

when ghoul and ghost

and goblin host

dance round their queen.

It’s Halloween!”

                                               Halloween, written by Harry Behn and illustrated by Greg Couch, is an enchanting glimpse into the creatures and activities of Halloween night.

Follow three children, dressed as a skeleton, witch and devil, as they trick-or-treat through the magical Halloween night. Close encounters with sprites, ghosts, gnomes and trolls lead the children to a unique Halloween experience.

Written in playful, lilting rhyme and illustrated in rich acrylics and colored pencils, Halloween is a luminous and thrilling read for children ages 4-8.

BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE BLOG FOR MORE HALLOWEEN BOOKS AND NEWS ON SKELETON JUMP, OUR NEW GAME FOR ITUNES!

HAPPY OCTOBER

October 1, 2011 in halloween, skeleton jump

Happy October, everyone! It’s that time of year when the leaves start to fall, the wind starts to blow, and the spirit of Halloween takes over the minds and hearts of our little ones! Here at Toyceratops Castle, we’re thinking of Halloween, too.

Meet SkeleTim. Tim is the star of our first and upcoming game, Skeleton Jump. (It’s going to hit iTunes in a matter of weeks, so keep watching the blog for updates.) When SkeleTim isn’t starring in fun, all-ages mobile games, he is planning Halloween games and activities. What would Halloween be without great books, snacks, games and decorations? We shudder to think on it. That’s why Tim is excited to share his favorite parts of Halloween with you.

Watch for Tim in upcoming posts, as he shares what he’s been reading, making, eating and playing in preparation for Halloween. If you have some Halloween favorites of your own, then send ‘em our way!
