We’re proud to announce that our latest game, King Hermit’s Home Cooked Cookin’ is currently awaiting approval from Apple and should be on the App Store in the near future! It’s going to be FREE and features one of the band’s most stonkingest tracks to date.

All you have to do (it’s really not that easy on the harder modes) is hit the lyrics in the correct order as fast as you can after they appear, the fewer mistakes you make the more points you’ll get - you also get bonus points for being super quick with your fingers! Like Frootrees the game features online scoring using Agon so that you can see how you compare to other fans around the world. Here’s a quick and dirty video of the game played at medium difficulty (the jerkiness is just the poor camera doing it’s best)

Now who else can say they have that!

NIN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQf76VDWss4 have it as do many other bands and now King Hermit join them...

OK, but I don't know about those and that makes this one extra special.

Yeah but they're just apps for infomation and rss feed and stuff, ours actually is a game which i've yet to have heard of ANY band having.

Symposium had a Pc game, true story


it was shit

*fingers crossed*

Incidentally if any other bands read this we're going to be offering the same game for a small fee, say around $600 Australian.

All you'll have to do is provide us with a good quality track suitable for the style of play, the lyrics and a few images.

the game is now live and ready to download!

Please rate it five stars and write a review.

You can also download it even if you don't have a device, as long as you have itunes you can get it and rate it, then just delete it.

Thanks

In four days the game has had 700+ downloads and it's still rising!

i wacked it in a translation converter, so unless the website is fooling us, this is what the review says:

It is well necessary to confess it, they find of everything on App Store. Even of the karaoke for fingers. In effect, Tin Man Games, to whom they owe Frootrees, a game of crop of fruits (soon in test on our pages) decided to create an advertising game. Although the thing is already noticed, here it is not a matter to promote its soft only but also a group of rock, King Hermit. Principle is simple: words appear to the screen and it is enough to pat lines or words in good order by listening to the song. Three levels of difficulties are present and they even have the right to an online classification via the platform Agon. An amazing but rather nice UFO for the non-anglophobes.

The King Hermit iPhone game now has patch 1.01 live, it fixes some issues with the online leaderboard score, you can now download it from the app store here, and it's still completely FREE!
