29 Jan 2010 IGN made a list of the top 25 greatest iPhone games on the App Store "that matter most". Our very own Star Defense made it to the fourteenth place. "It isn't just the 3D that makes Star Defense special, it's the near-perfect balance between enemy power and tower strength. Star Defense is tough as nails, it is never cheap or unfair. And few tower defense games can boast that." Amen to that.

7 Jan 2010 Rough Cookie, your favorite diamond in the rough, made it to the PocketGamer.biz top 50 iPhone Developers of 2009. It's an impressive list of developers releasing the most appealing games of 2009. The articles states "this is a subjective process but rigor is provided by noting sales performance, critical acclaim of releases, innovation in terms of business approach, and the number and range of titles released during 2009." We feel honored we are ranked #30.

30 Dec 2009 VentureBeat, leading technology and innovation news website, published a list of the top ten most addictive iPhone games of 2009 today. We are quite happy and proud to see our baby Star Defense in this list between all the other great titles released this year. Author Dean Takahashi, lead writer for the games section at VentureBeat: "It's a tough game and can hold your attention for a long time." Now quickly get back to the game for your next shot of S'rath attacks!

26 Dec 2009 They keep coming, top 10 lists at the end of the year. Our favorite British mobile games website, Pocketgamer.co.uk, included Star Defense in their top 10 list of best iPhone games of 2009. The article sums it up pretty well: "The tower defence craze may have died down, but we're still deploying Star Defense on a regular basis. Finely balanced tactical gameplay puts this slick-looking game light years ahead of other tower defence titles."

24 Dec 2009 We at Rough Cookie love to monkey around. In name of our greatest friends we have adopted five monkeys from Stichting Aap, the local shelter for primates and exotic mammals, almost around the corner of our offices. Our favorite is of course "Cookie", a Green Monkey probably from Sudan, pictured on the left. On behalf of Zusje, Frodo, Tarzan, Yodi and Cookie a big thank you to our friends. Merry Christmas and a healthy and successful 2010!

21 Dec 2009 We feel honored Star Defense is nominated for no less than three categories in the IGN iPhone Readers' Choice 2009.

The Gamer's Choice winners will be announced in January.

15 Dec 2009 It definitely is award season. The boys and girls of IGN locked themselves up in a room, argued a lot and came up with a list of this year's exceptional games. Nominated for two categories in the special iPhone section, Star Defense grabs the coveted Best Strategy Game award. "Best tower defense game on iPhone, period." We couldn't agree more. Congratulations to all other winners, including the ngmofos snatching the Best Multiplayer Game award with Eliminate. Well done!
