TumbleSeed is a quality eShop release, but its difficulty might be off putting for some. To fix that, an update is in the works that will make things easier.
On Twitter yesterday, developer Greg Wohlwend noted that the difficulty and response is “our fault, at least in part, and we are trying to find out if there’s anything we can do to fix it.” Wohlwend further added:
“We know how the current version of the game comes off when played in a review setting. Most likely you’ll play it, decide it’s too difficult, and be done with the game. We’re working on fixing that. So before we solicit more reviews, we’d like to try these ideas out first. Our changes probably won’t ‘save the game’, but we hope to give anyone that wanders into our game a fighting chance at enjoying it. TumbleSeed is the best thing I’ve worked on,” he wrote, “which makes the tepid response all the more confusing.”

Team17 and Mouldy Toof Studios are unveiling a new aspect of The Escapists 2 today. When the title launches, multiplayer will be included. Co-op and versus multiplayer modes are in the pipeline.
When playing online, up to four players are supported. Split-screen also allows for two players.
We’ve attached a trailer and information about multiplayer in The Escapists 2 below.
“Drop-in, drop-out multiplayer allows you to carefully plan and execute an intricate escape with your fellow inmates either online or locally, or simply hop into an existing game to help pull off the final touches of the escape!
You can experience the entire campaign of The Escapists 2 solo or by teaming up with others but however you choose to do it, escaping won’t be easy. You’ll have to work around the strict prison schedule and avoid the unwanted attention of guards. Craft and steal weapons and tools from within the prison, but beware of cell shakedowns! Get a job or undertake quests to purchase vital supplies, all while scouting escape routes – you may even uncover some unique escapes that cannot be undertaken alone!”
