This weekend, we had a sale on Heron: Steam Machine for the iPhone, and what a sale it was! The game was featured on AppEvent.com and Plusplus.com, where we kicked off the sale on Friday night. In the two days that followed, over 20.000 people around the world were able to get their hands on the game! Thanks to this, the game rocketed up the carts and got in the Top 10 Free Games List in several countries!
On top of that, the Free to Play Flash version of the game has reached 150.000 plays in just a matter of 2 weeks! Very impressive if I may say so!
Below are some of the reviews published in the AppStore this weekend, it looks like the Heron: Steam Machine family has grown quite a bit!

Heron: Steam Machine is a game about a factory where rubber duckies are being produced by a large steam engine. On this steam engine, there are four different gauges which you will have to watch carefully. These gauges represent steam, electricity, water and oil. When the gauges start to rise, you will have to connect a pipe with the color corresponding with the gauge. By connecting the pipes, you will earn points and relieve some of the pressure. Prevent the steam engine from blowing up and save as many rubber duckies as you can!

This must be the new all-time highscore for the Wii version.

2009 in Retrospect
Posted on | December 31, 2009 | Comments Off
On the final day of the year, it’s a great moment to look back and see what we have achieved over the past twelve months. 2009 has been a very good year for Triangle Studios. Two of the most remarkable events were the establishment of Triangle Works, the new software development studio for all things related to the internet. Secondly, the launch of Triangle’s first independently published title; Heron: Steam Machine.
Besides that, a LOT of new games were published in the past year. In total 7 new DS titles were released in Europe, and 2 more in the US! Add to those the development of several iPhone and Flash games and you’ll clearly see that we’ve been very busy indeed.
There will be some very cool things in 2010 of course, we’ll start the year with a bang, launching Heron in the US on January 4th. We’ve also started development on our next big title for Playstation 3 and will be developing more cool games for DS and iPhone. In short, there are a lot of reasons to keep track of Triangle Studios in the following year. Have a great New Year’s Eve, and see you in 2010!
