    Hi Omaha,

    Thankyou for reviewing Cannibal Cookout. I’m the game designer and just wanted to drop a line to say that the dogs are handy for scaring the birds (tie them to the washing line) and digging up the occasional skull!

    You can get a fair few skulls in the game by employing a good strategy; cooking recipes and adding them to the pot at the very start of a level will get you finishing the level in record time and a bonus of five skulls. You can also get skulls for cooking recipes and killing large amounts of police, fireman, tanks etc.

    We’ve got FaceCook in the next update where you get to cook your Facebook friends – it’s a lot of fun :)

    Thanks again
    Scott

    Thanks, Scott, for the comments! The game was lots of fun, but I think it would be great if you could add in info regarding how to get those skulls in some way…right now it really does come across as only luck with no skill involved. Good to know about the dog.

    I’ll definitely be playing it with that update…I’ve got a few Facebook friends to be cooking! LOL!

    How about you, iGame Radio fans? Looking forward to cooking your Facebook friends? Any frenemies you’ll add to cook? ;)

    Hi Omaha,

    The “Cook Your Friends” update (aka FaceCook) is out! Every cooked friend is worth 100 gold and every 5 friends bags a rare skull!

    We also took onboard your comments and now if you hang a zombie on the washing line there is a good chance s/he has a skull in the back pocket just waiting to be shaken out and onto the ground :)

    The next update 1.9 has a whole bunch of new tasks to help out Elvira/Hector in the kitchen. Complete the tasks and you will be amply rewarded with gold and skulls!

    Happy Frenemy Cooking!

    Cheers
    Scott
