Hi,
Thank you for your interest and kind words about Elefunk.
A little bit of news, we closed 8bit in June and completed Elefunk with our new studio Big Head Games Ltd., (so I rarely check this email).
I am unsure who NeoGAF is but assume he/she got my email address from press releases...It's nice to receive friendly emails once in a while!
We are in talks with Sony about new content and patching the game, yes, we're reading the forums constantly and taking on board comments...I do notice Trophies and the difficulty as being high priority.
It's been very hard to balance the game, Sony actually had focus groups play the game and graphs of difficulty were produced and we rearranged some levels and added extra pieces, re-mapped, etc. etc. but it's one of those games where if you can go from too hard to way too easy in 3 pieces...so hard to get right...we're surprised to see people having problems with level 3, but do know that Egypt is easier again.
Well thanks for the email and I'll add the comments to the list.
