Oh my god that Rand logo is so amazing. I needz to download now. If I had a smartphone I would be making that Buzz intro my ringtone right now.

I need to find my iPod Touch for that matter... and I need to charge it...

3. I think it'd be hilariously great if you did a "buzz" version of the Cyan ditty. :-D

Yay! The first new Cyan Logo since URU! Go Rand! Buzz!

Wow! Just unlocked a new level, and… The mosquito is one of the cleverest puzzle elements I have ever seen. This game was already good and it just got so much better.

Oh yeah, just reading a review on iTunes reminded me… Is Game Center coming to this in an update? I don't miss it too much, but achievements are always fun for replay value.

And have you thought of making a lite version? Maybe something along the lines of Angry Birds Lite, where you get a level with each of the bird types so you can see the puzzle mechanics.

What time in the show is the mention?

Around 16:35.

Chogon, I was a bit disappointed that the folks over at Touch Arcade didn't review Bug Chucker, since they mentioned you guys a lot with Myst, Riven and Stoneship. Did you forget to, uh, bug them about it?

Whether or not this was influenced by my earlier post (it would seem likely when you consider the times), Bug Chucker ring tones are now available!

Thanks Cyan!

Sad to see that SlideToPlay and TouchArcade both didn't like Bug Chucker. Don't know why… Anyways, if anybody really did like Bug Chucker, it might be fun to go inundate their comment threads with fandom.

Having loads of fun with the bugs. I think it is a great puzzle game, to think out how to chuck a bug and get fireworks.
Good job Cyan!

Cyan, you get major kudos from me for the promotional efforts on this one. You guys have a solid game here, and you're doing a solid job promoting it.

Mhm, it seems they finally understand that marketing matters a lot for a product to succeed. Heck, Angry Birds was in the App Store for a while before it got popular due to Apple picking it as the Game of the Week.

I'll also echo what Rand said about the reviews given by STP and TouchArcade. How this gets a 1 (not 2 or 3, but 1!!) is beyond me. I know, Cyan did those wonderful games like Myst and Riven and Uru and now they do small iPhone games that don't have realistic graphics. But Stoneship and Bug Chucker are different, and the folks there don't seem to get this. They also seem to think Cyan is still the big company it once was. Bleh!
