An Adventure!

February 24th, 2010

We’re uploading two games tonight as we’ll be gone the next few days on an adventure of sorts to New York City. Unfortunately, this adventure is slated to happen during a snowstorm there, but we’re from Minnesota, so if the airlines can handle it, so can we.

The prizes over the past two weeks are finally being shipped out – they were delayed thanks to the Chinese New Year. It’s the year of the tiger. We’re not sure what that’s supposed to mean, but it sounds ferocious. We apologize for the delays, and we’d get angry at China ourselves except they’d probably unleash those tigers on us. Not fun.

We have a few aesthetic and other changes coming up soon, mostly focusing on better explaining to new or potential users how The Sidehatch works – so look out for that. Also, the banner for this blog has inexplicably disappeared. We’re blaming a rival ninja clan, but it could also just be a coding error. Either way, shurikens will be involved in fixing it.

Last Week

Congratulations to user soupit1 for winning the Nintendo DS Lite last week! Pictogrid has been a great success, exposing a whole new set of people to The Sidehatch. Remember to tell your friends about us – the more people we get playing, the better prizes we can have each week.

In the coming months we’re going to have even more great sponsored games and more exciting prizes. Don’t forget to check back every day for a new game, and every week for a new set of prizes. Have fun!

We have a new sponsored game this week: Pictogrid! It’s a really challenging puzzle game that’ll make your head implode. There’s 40 great levels, and they get really challenging toward the end. In addition, it has some great music accompanying it.

This week we’re also giving away our 500th prize! In order to celebrate, we’re giving away a new Nintendo DS Lite, in addition to other great prizes. Have fun!
