Tweet Land (Game) - Blog

Hi Tweetlanders,

In order to return all the love we have received, we want to give you guys an Easter Egg surprise and show you some new art and tweet events we’ve been working on. Among the new stuff you will see here, there is one that could be seen a lot depending on Twitter service. So, be careful with the #failWhale that will show up when Twitter starts giving many problems.

Also remember that we still have 10 days to go on Kickstarter, so if you own a blog, know someone from the media, or simply your neighbor have not pledge yet, you still can show them the project and invite them to play with reality. And if you had already pledged, don´t be shy to show it to the world and spread the love. Here we are giving you a twibbon you can add to your Twitter avatar to show the support. You only have to click here and follow the easy steps. Have fun!

*If your blog talked about (or want to talk about) Tweet Land, please let us know :)

La primera plataforma de videojuegos que juega con la realidad.  —CNN its a nice quote because CNN said it ;)

We recommend that you contribute now–because this game is on the fast track to becoming a phenomenon, and you might end up having to fend for yourself when we tweet zombies at you. —The Creators Project

[…] no me extrañaría que en un tiempo más este concepto sea incorporado por empresas de desarrollo de videojuegos para nutrir aún más las mecánicas en sus videojuegos.  —Aula Gamer

At first I was like “Oh, great…a game about how fast you can twitter.” but…I was wrong. Tweet Land is a new type of videogame that plays with reality. What? Let me explain […]  —These Old Colors

Using the real world as a “random” event generator seems like such an amazing idea. Although, thinking about it, the real world really is far more random than any random number generator ever could be. Chew on that for a bit. —Touch Arcade

Tweet Land is a different take on social gaming, making use of the public commentary that’s happening every day on Twitter and using it to inject the unexpected into the gaming experience of players. —DDB Canada

L’idea di Tweetland è certamente originalissima, così come quella di autofinanziare il progetto promettendo in cambio, spiritosamente, anche una cena in giacca e cravatta col team a chi donerà più di settecento bigliettoni. —TapPlayer

Tweet Land! What is more enticing than a game called Tweet Land?? Plain old Twitter is so passé by now anyway. —Kickstarter

In effetti, è più giusto affermare che con Tweet Land siamo di fronte a un vero e proprio real time game, e non alle prese con uno dei tanti giochi di simulazione in stile Second Life. —IoChatto

I’m not too huge on Twitter, but I do know a kickass video game when I see it. Tweet Land has just the right mix of retro styling and innovative gameplay to be a huge hit among mobile gamers. I’m calling it now: Tweet Land will be the new Angry Birds. —TrendHunter

The game’s innovative use of Twitter is one of the more interesting that we’ve seen, and pushes the boundaries for what can be achieved with social networks. —Springwise

Siempre es un gusto escuchar ideas innovadoras. Y es mucho más, cuando florecen desde lugares que uno no pensaba. —Therror

This game was conceptualized by 6 Costa Rican friends who love gaming and social media. Imagine they´ve fused it up to one. —VicMadz

Hi Tweetlanders. Sorry for not recent posts, but it has been a really busy week since we launch this monday our Kickstarter project to make Tweet Land happen. If you have not heard about it yet, please check it out here. Its awesome!

We are glad to announce that at one week from the launch in Kickstarter, we are 50% of our initial goal. However, we must be sure to reach the $7000 before the deadline, because if we don´t  -it doesnt matter the amount of pledges we have- , no money will change hands. So keep helping and spreading the word. Remember that the more support we get, the bigger and funner Tweet Land will be.

In other big news, we have been receiving support from all over the world. You can read the hundreds of tweets here. Also we have been mentioned in blogs, press, tv and radio broadcasters in Costa Rica, Italy, England, Spain, United States, latinamerica, etc. Here are a couple of links so you can watch them:

And finally we want to announce that we are adding two NEW rewards. So if you have a rich uncle or a famous neighbor that have not pledge yet, this is the time to share our Kickstarter project with them.

Let us introduce the ‘Black-Tie’ and ‘God-of-Tweet’ Rewards!

What would happen if what people share in their social networks turns real? And best of all, if you could play with that? Well, if you like the idea of the twittersphere becoming a virtual universe, this is for you:
