Dear BerzerkerJr,
The XNA team is delighted to tell you that your game has been approved by your fellow Creators. You should see the game appear within 48 hours of the time of this message on the Indie Games area of Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
——————————-
As you can see, our Berzerker Jr division has just had its first game accepted on the Xbox Live indie games app store!
Phat fly was programmed by Brandon Hjelstrom who is only 13 years old! Look the game up on Xbox Live and try out the trial version! We think he has a really bright future ahead of him and we’re hard at work turning this game concept into an iphone game!
Today Super Juicy HD got featured by apple. Its in the #1 spot, front and center in the games spotlight!
We’ve been toiling away late into the night for the past week getting Super Juicy HD ready for the ipad launch! Here is a screenshot to give you an idea of the graphical upgrade to the game. The ipad is going to be a very interesting gaming platform! The screen is huge and you can really create some amazing visuals.

This image is actually clipped a little on both sides because the ipad screen is so high res that I cannot fit the entire simulator onscreen on my laptop even when its turned sideways!
We just got another excellent review from AppSmile.com! They really liked the game and specifically mentioned the soundtrack. One of the best reviews really, and since we got 5/5, Super Juicy gets a huge banner on top of the site for a week and it stays in a list of their “top iphone games”.
I’ve added a link to AppSmile as well since they have a really cool site. I recommend signing up for their newsletter, every once in a while they send me a free game! Some day maybe we’ll put some codes for Super Juicy into their giveaway 
Agon is the system which we used to add global high-scores, achievements and social networking features to Super Juicy. It is a really great system. The code is very clean and easy to use and it is non-intrusive to your game. Users that like this sort of thing get all the features they expect while other more casual players don’t ever have to even see it. Adding achievements to a game is a great way increase the replayability of a game so I highly recommend checking out their system.
Recently they decided to put Super Juicy in one of their featured spots in their portal! Run over there to see for yourself! Agon Online
We got a new review today for Austin Morrow over at On The Edge Applications My favorite quote was:
“The soundtrack is also very funky too with bubble popping sounds and weird music that is very funny and firs perfectly with the gameplay.”
Looks like someone noticed Vince Webb’s excellent music
We also got some great iTunes reviews. For some reason some people don’t think they should like Super Juicy Of COURSE they should like it. Anyway here are a couple of really good ones:
I like this???
When I got this, bubble popping and dropping fruit, I figured it would be something I’d never bother with, and just let my kids play it. Now after 3 hours I can’t put it down and the game itself is giving me a reward for being obsessed. What!? If someone would have told me I’d love a bubble popping, fruit dropping game I’d have told them they’re crazy. Well, they’re not. This game is great. What?! Really?! YES.
Bubble Popping Madness
My niece has stolen my iPhone and won’t give it back. I asked her how many stars to give you and she said 214. I guess I owe you about 209. She hasn’t had much to smile about recently until today.
Thank you for making a child laugh.
Today we hit #45 in the Puzzle category and #76 in Arcade! We hovered at 51-53 all day yesterday so its great to see it moving up again
Apple is now featuring Super Juicy in “Hot New Games”! In the first day, we jumped from being basically invisible in the app store (unless you search) to being #77 in puzzle games. The second day we hit #51 in puzzle games and #87 in Arcade!
Another site called AppLoot reviewed Super Juicy and gave us 5/5 in all categories. “If Bejeweled started doing crack, speed, and LSD, then you would get Super Juicy.”
