It’s an avalanche of good games coming to Windows Phones 7, and we are very proud that Butterfly is part of the snowing deluge which will overwhelm your cravings. And your girlfriend’s. And your nephew’s. And your mum’s.

Butterfly is about blossoming flowers, and it’s something everyone can do. Because we figured even bloodthirsty zombie-killers want a little blossoming break in their day from time to time, it’s what makes us better human being.

Do yourself a favor and make your world a tone brighter today by watching the trailer below!

Now for the good part: the game sports 12 official Xbox Live achievements and 200 G, although Microsoft didn’t tell us grams of what. Butter presumably, although it’d make a weird cake I think.
Oh but it also features Xbox Live Leaderboards, so your nephew can shame your highscore. And your mum. And quite possibly even your girlfriend. That’s right ladies, we know you like it more than nothing else when you castrate our e-penis.

The game is available like, right now for a mere 2,99$ ! And here’s the deep link direct to flying goodness on the Zune Marketplace:

And if you like the game graphics you can download a bunch of stuff over on our Download page!

We’ve been admittedly very busy for the last few months. Tinkering with the WP7 prototype we looted from the cold dead hands of a Microsoft rep turned out to be more fun than work as Fab single-handedly ported 90% of Twin Blades’ code in a fortnight.
“All along while eating pizza with my other hand” he claimed, which didn’t impress his mum whose appreciation for his achievement came second to her concern for healthy diet.

The game now boasts 20 genuine Xbox Live Achievements and Live-tied leaderboards so you can not only dwarf your noob friends’ score but also humiliate them publicly, which is precisely what hardcore gaming is all about.

Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard has been released alongside Windows Phones 7 and is doing pretty well, being featured in the top 10 best selling apps of the Zune Marketplace right now and, most importantly, scoring at 4,5 stars rating!

Not only does the game sport high-res graphics fit for the S8500 800×480 screen, but it also contains an exclusive new environment featured below:

Peeps in Russia, China, South Africa, Argentina, Australia, Canada and Mexico may have to wait a couple weeks before Samsung makes the paid-apps store available in your countries – which according to the intel retreived from a Korean ninja should come up late june/early july.

As for our fellow Brazilians and Koreans I’m afraid it’s a no-go, apparently your respective governments take the matter of video-games so seriously that there will be no games at all on the Bada store in your countries. It’s a little be more complicated than that but the lawyer-ninja bore us to sleep before we could understand why exactly games are banned there. Sorry pals.

The trailer is live with footage of the update content of Twin Blades, showing off slaaaaaash combos! (applause) The mini map! (applause) New environments! (applause) The story mode! (applause) Badass bosses! (booo)

Stay tuned for more soon, and don’t forget to shame our highscores in our contest to win a 40″ canvas of the splashscreen!

When you create a video game there is always a time where you are a bit nostalgic its going public because you are about to lose the 1st spot on the leaderboard.

Its like surrendering sovereignty of your own game to people who will have no remorse getting better at it than you and beat the bloody high score you thought would be forever engraved in e-stone to mark your supremacy as The Creator.

Mako our concept artist was so fanatic about being the first of us to unlock all the achievements that we thought of a nice way to humble the radiant grin of awesomeness he has been insolently exhibiting these last few days.

We call it on you guys for this contest: Beat Mako’s 1 084 520 points highscore in Twin Blades: The Reaping Vanguard until the 25th of december, upload it to the online Open Feint leaderboard and send us an email at info@press-start-studio.com stating your OpenFeint ID. We will then randomly select one winner among those to receive a 40″ canvas of a game’s artwork dedicated by the whole crew!

Twin Blades : The Reaping Vanguard is now available in 5 different languages on the app store!

What’s more, the game will be sold for only 0.99 $ (0,79 €) for a limited period of one week, that’s the price of a peas’ can!

Some people may argue it’s also the price of a soda can, it may be true but then we’d have to talk about the debatable benefits of iron versus sweet in the human body which is as endless as the ninjas versus pirate thing and then when would YOU have time to quit reading and go kill some zombies?

Off you go, the nun needs you!
