WayForward’s award-winning Mighty Switch Force series, transformed into a pick-up-and-play puzzler!
Team up with Officer Patricia Wagon to save Tangent City from a fiery blaze! As a member of Planet Land’s Fire Brigade, your job is to douse the fire in each building — and to evacuate any Hooligan Sisters who may be trapped inside. It’s a dangerous job, but if anyone can save the city, you and Patty can!
Use your finger to slide blocks around the playfield, and tap & hold Officer Wagon to let loose a powerful water spray from her Infinity Dousing Apparatus (err… hose). Douse all of the flames, and the stage is clear! Sounds easy, right?
Block types vary from simple slide-puzzle obstacles to full-blown brain-busters like Turnpike Blocks, Mud Blocks, and Cloak Blocks.
Each level has been lovingly crafted and is WayForward Certified, guaranteed to challenge, befuddle, and tickle your fancy.
This version includes:
-25 puzzles spread across 5 Worlds.
-Fully illustrated cutscenes
-Speed Run challenges and Game Center support
-An incredible soundtrack by Jake “Virt” Kaufman
-Additional puzzles available via In-App purchase

Set sail with Shantae and Risky Boots!
Embark on a brand new adventure with Shantae, the hair-whipping belly dancing genie. When she loses her magic, Shantae must team up with her nemesis, the nefarious pirate Risky Boots in order to save Sequin Land from an evil curse. As a pirate, Shantae gains new weapons to advance her quest, slay monsters, battle epic bosses…and hopefully get her magic back in the bargain! But can she really trust her deadliest enemy?
The third Shantae game is the biggest yet! Beyond Sequin Land lie cursed islands and labyrinths each hiding a new piece of Pirate Gear – Flintlock Pistol, Pirate Hat, Scimitar, Risky’s Boots, and even a Cannon. Upgrade Shantae’s hair and weapons or unlock advanced Fighter’s Moves. Locate maps, return lost Heart Squids, collect rare loot, and laugh out loud at the weird, wild, and wonderfully humorous cast of characters. Incredible stereoscopic visuals, unlockable Pirate-Mode, multiple endings, and an unforgettable soundtrack make this one game you won’t want to miss!

Closing the Store and Locking the Scope!
Hey there Tinkerbackers!
The holidays are upon us, and we’re all looking forward to spending quality time relaxing with friends and family. BUT NOT TODAY!! We’ve still got a mountain of work ahead of us in December, with loose ends to tie up and new tasks to kick off. Read on… this one’s really important!
LAST CALL! It’s time to close PAYPAL!
The PayPal store and Stretch Goals will lock down at 11:59pm PST on 12/16/2014. That leaves two more weeks for you to increase your pledges, if you like.
If you’re considering backing the game for the first time, this is the LAST CALL for Backer Exclusive content:
- Blue Suit Shantae
- Classic Colors Risky Boots
- Tinkerbat Dance
- Risky’s Hyperlight Drifter Blade
On December 16, Stretch Goals will be locked which will establish the final scope of the game. This is critical for us in planning the rest of our development. THANK YOU for making this game a reality with your generosity!
Based on current totals, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has been funded to 230%!! From the bottom of our hearts, THANKS for making this happen, for your patience, and for inspiring us every single day!
ARTISTS, GET YOUR PENCILS READY!
As soon as the funding period closes, we’re going to put some of our backers to work! We’ve got some “Your Face in Game” backers to bring to life as NPCs, “Enemy Designers” that need to craft some deadly denizens of Sequin Land, and our “Your Art in Game” backers need to populate the Museum. On top of that we have more VOTING on the way! Gallery Artists, you’re going to be up first, so get psyched!
Last, more updates more often! We’re always listening to your feedback, and many Backers are requesting more news, more frequently. So at the risk of flooding your inboxes you’ll be seeing more Backer Updates to keep you in the loop starting RIGHT NOW! Please tell us to settle down if we go overboard!
Trick or Treat?
Enjoy this treat from your friends at WayForward!
Happy Halloween!
Happy Launch Day!
