We’ve finally managed to update the game with an additional theme and new maps! Unfortunately there was an error with the original update that caused some people to lose their profile – huge apologies to anybody who’s been affected by this. 
Hopefully this should be fixed by the new update, and we hope that people enjoy the new levels.
So after a refreshing break we’re back working on the next update for Shrimpocalypse. The current plan is to add one new level theme, and additional maps, both for the new theme and for the existing ones. We’ll keep you posted!
In the meantime, check out this little fellow we met on holiday.
We didn’t shoot him (but only because he dug into the sand…possible new enemy? 
)
Apologies for the lack of updates (both in-game and on the blog) of late, both Mr Toast and myself have been a bit overloaded with the day jobs! However there will be a Christmassy update very soon, keep your eyes peeled!
Merry Christmas everyone*!
*Unless you don’t celebrate Christmas, in which case “Merry December!”
The mythical mid-game save is on its way, we unfortunately suffered a bit of a setback when our SVN server died on its face! We’re just getting everything back up and running, so keep an eye out!
Yes, it’s time for pumpkins, cheap witch outfits and eating sweets until you throw up! Not to mention that we’re having a Halloween Half Price sale – pick up the full version of Shrimpocalypse for half its usual price for five days only!
Gameplay footage now available! Things that I learnt creating this video:
* Filming a mobile screen is harder than it looks
* Over enthusiastic tower placement sends the phone sliding
* I need to upgrade my PC – it really struggled with Windows Movie Maker. 
Apparently people on lower memory phones were having issues, we’ve dashed off, removed a few unused bits, downsized a lot of unnecessarily large textures. The apk is only 250k smaller, internally it’ll have a much smaller footprint though.
Let me know if you still have issues!
Huge patch, far too much to note in the little 325 character window I get on the Market Place.

At Toast Towers we’re currently chuffed to bits that we’ve made it onto AndroidPimp’s Top 20 Games for October! We’re nestling between Fast & Furious: Adrenaline HD and Soccer Superstars. It’s an interesting list, and demonstrates how versatile the Android market is – 3d and 2d games, games created by individuals or small teams, games created by full companies, cartoony games, photorealistic games, heavily stylised games, puzzle, strategy, sport, action, racing, crab-based tower defence…
Thought of the day: would an Android Pimp be a Pimp that happens to be an Android, or would it be a Pimp that pimps out Androids?
We’ve been working on a fairly hefty update for Shrimpocalypse, which will include the following!
* New turret graphics! Crabs, snails, scampi, turtles and gulls – they’re all evil! But not all sea creatures are evil – the fish have joined the battle and are fighting on YOUR side! That, or you’ve cruelly transformed them into biological weapons to pack a psychological as well as physical punch against your enemies…
* Achievements! Can you get them all?
* Survival Mode! 50 waves just not enough? Try infinite waves – how many can you take down before being overrun?
* Reordered UI! We had some complaints that there weren’t enough lives, and that the basic tower ‘didn’t shoot’. We eventually realised the second point was because new players were dragging the air tower as their first tower, so this has been moved. Hopefully this, along with the new tutorial, will reduce any confusion.
* New Tutorial! As the existing tutorial was a bit tl;dr, we’ve created an entirely new one. With pictures.
* More features available in the Free version! You can now buy certain items from the shop.
* Improved performance! We’ve done some tweaks and optimisation, so the game will now run faster and smoother on older phones.
Work on the localisations has started, but we’re still in the process of testing them – keep an eye out for them in future updates.
1.1 will be going live early this week!
