Jan. 11, 2009, Big$hot 1.3a has just been released in both full and demo versions. This version will be sent automatically to everyone who purchased the earlier version. Big$hot 1.3a features a number of minor fixes, a better balanced high score board system for all of the game lengths and pro version has been made even more challenging! We hope you enjoy the game!
Jan. 1, 2009, Happy New Year everyone!
We are releasing another Big$hot demo, version 1.2A which addresses several more minor issues. The end game high score board now also shows the players high score even if they didn't score high enough to be on the high score board. High scores for the twelve month version of the game have been set lower so it is easier for people to place. Additionally all portfolio screens now show the players net income so that it is easier to judge whether another players properties will add too much debt if they are purchased by the player.
The full version upgrade should be available in the next day or two and will be made available for free to everybody who has purchased an earlier version.
