Many folks around Gamescom were lumbering around Sega’s booth and finally axed them. “What’s this new IP you’ve been barking about”? Well, they finally couldn’t leaf it be any longer. Sega has branched out again to smaller developers. This time, to publish “Jack Lumber”. OWLchemy Lab’s latest hoot of a game. The game itself seems to be a mix of Fruit Ninja and Flight Control. You may have logged some time into this title earlier this year at PAX East. The game is available now on iTunes at 99 cents for a limited time. That’s a small amount of green! I’m so excited, I’m sporting wood! Read on for 12 minutes of gameplay video and official description.

BTW, is this the first time the SEEEGAAA! Logo theme has been used outside of a Sonic game?
Also, what exactly is Sega Alliance? I could not find any info on that. I’m guessing an alliance with smaller studios like this one and Akedo.
the. . .the creators of snuggletrucks? *sobs*
That was a goof on SEGA’s part. Should be SMUGGLE Truck. It’s not a kiddie game.
Downloaded it, playing it, it’s a lot of fun! Sure its Fruit Ninja inspired, but it is not a clone. It has a cool art style, humor and the gameplay is different enough to be unique. TBH, I like it more than Fruit Ninja.
I like it to as well. 🙂
Wonder if SEGA Alliance is the name for stuff like Hell Yeah and this where it really is a product of the third party dev and not SEGA, but they teamed with SEGA to release it? If so, this would make the distinction between characters like Sonic and Ash from Hell Yeah, which would help in silly forum arguments.
Well 99 cents is really nothing so i’ll buy and support this. Seems like a good mobile game for whenever ill have to wait for something, somewhere.
well thats freaking lame….Not the game, the fact that I need the newest iPhone/iPod/iPad/iShit to play it. The game looks pretty fun. Guess I cant support it then.
