I know you all expected to have KickFlip in your hands by now -- we did too! From the time development on a game is completed, our testers bang away at it for 1-2 weeks. Not only are they making sure that everything is spelled correctly and that the game works on loads of different browsers and operating systems, but they also make sure that the gameplay is as fun as it can possibly be.
In the case of KickFlip, we really think we have a hit game on our hands. So, we saw an opportunity to add some tricks/depth to the experience and it has caused us to delay launch for a couple of days. In the end, I know it will be a better product for all of you so I appreciate the patience. With a little bit of luck, the game will actually launch tomorrow (Friday) morning. As soon as it is up, I will post the link here.
Based on your emails, you guys are definitely enjoying the faster pace of Candystand game releases. We've already launched more games in 2007 than in 2005 & 2006 combined! The great news is that we aren't slowing down. Here's an overview of some of the cool stuff on the way. Of course, we'll be releasing screens, etc. here over the next month.
Jetboost: This is David Scott's (the Vector and Circle TD creator) latest game and it just proves that the best games are often the most simple. It's too hard to explain, but I am planning on releasing first-screens on Monday.
Baseball: Lame title, but this game is looking UNREAL. As far as I know, it is the first 9-on-9, full-scale Baseball game on the web. If you liked Baseball Stars or Bases Loaded for NES, you're going to love this.
RC Rally Reloaded: The title says it all. A sequel to RC Rally that takes the game to the next level. You earn cash to upgrade your RC car and advance through really rich levels.
27-Holes of Golf: The Candystand Links is being created and we're going with 3, 9-hole courses. A lot like the classic golf games we used to have, just updated.
A whole bunch of racing games: F1-style, NASCAR-style and even Waverunner racing, all from Silent Bay (the guys who created GP Team Racing).
Of course, there's even more than this on the way including Tournament Mode which will be going to the testers next week!
Final note, all of our friends in Canada should mark August 20 in their calendars... we've got something special coming for you that will be officially announced next week!
As always, email me with any questions, comments or ideas!

Candystand needs a proper football/soccer game. Sure FreeKick is a nice soccer game (if I could get it working) but it is just free-kicks, I think Candystand needs a proper 'soccer match' game.
(Dont know how to word it :P)
I agree with Craig, but i relly want to play the new golf, it sounds great. Please try to get it playable as soon as u possibly can
I agree with what Craig said, but not only does candystand need soccer and football. Candystand also needs a proper baketball game, like what they are doing with the new baseball game. I think those four would and will rule the candystand top 10 when properly made.
Candystand blogger could you please give us another update on when those new games are coming out. That would be much appreciated.
I'm really looking forward to the baseball game I hope all u other guys are too!
