Hi everyone! We've just released an update for our puzzle/action game Hairy Tales, including new tutorials and levels, and to celebrate we're temporarily lowering the price to $0.99! You can read the TouchArcade review here.

It stars the Hairys, an excitable group of fairy folk who are so eager to clear their world of corruption that they simply don't watch where they're going. It's up to you to lead them to safety by placing tiles and power ups in their way. It has 72 levels split across three distinctive worlds, where players must simultaneously save the Hairys from falling off the edge of the world by re-arranging the tiles on each level, while acquiring power ups, magic mushrooms and destroying evil enemy Kikimoras and their three powerful end bosses.

Arges Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2011 78 0 0 Game Developer http://hairytalesgame.com/ #4 Arges, Dec 14, 2012 My own opinion is biased. It has a Metascore of 81, for what it's worth. If you like difficult real-time puzzle games with that you can solve your own way, it should be right up your alley. The TouchArcade review summed it up as: "Hairy Tales is still an enjoyable puzzler and a great example of how to integrate a variety of puzzle elements with real-time action, all in a title wrapped in a fantastical weird shell. Suffice to say, puzzle fans should take heed at this latest addition, as I don't think you'll be disappointed."

We've decided to keep the price low over the holidays, since we got a good response.

Arges Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2011 78 0 0 Game Developer http://hairytalesgame.com/ #18 Arges, Dec 24, 2012 It's a puzzle-strategy game. You don't control the Hairys directly, and have to set up the stage to lead them by dragging tiles and re-arranging the world. You can see a gameplay video recorded with a WIP version here: Cheers! bramblett05 Well-Known Member Aug 29, 2012 5,682 0 0 #19 bramblett05, Dec 24, 2012 Great game just bought it Arges Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2011 78 0 0 Game Developer http://hairytalesgame.com/ #20 Arges, Dec 25, 2012 Thanks, and glad you got to it on time!
