And while we could wait until early next week, right before the game ships, we just can't contain ourselves any longer! Probably due to all of the coffee we've been drinking over the last few months.

With that having been said, we would like to present you with the official "Launch Trailer" for Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut:

For Immediate ReleaseFrenzied Advenure, Youda Survivor 2, Takes On iOS, Care of G5 and YoudagamesReturn to the island of adventure and save the entire planet from the danger lurking over it

San Francisco, California – April 24, 2013 – A fun, time management challenge, Youda Survivor 2, lands at the App Store today, care of G5 Entertainment and Youdagames. The game presents you with twice the frenzy and challenge of its predecessor and you'll have twice as much fun tapping franticly on the screen solving the quests one by one. With two playable characters, each with its own capabilities, and over 100 incredible levels in nine absorbing chapters, this game will have you hooked right from the start.

In Youda Survivor 2 you'll need to return to the island of adventure and save your befriended tribe once again. The tribe's shaman needs your help to stop the danger lurking over the entire planet. Put your survival skills and perseverance to the test like never before. Meet exotic creatures, learn new potion recipes and fight off mighty pirates. Most importantly, help the tribe retrieve a sacred talisman that's missing and reunite the two gems they use for magic rituals. Unleash your adventurous spirit and become a hero in this spectacular time management challenge!

Players who know the prequel of this game will feel right at home with Youda Survivor 2. You'll start each level with a small piece of land where you can hatch flamingos, ostriches and wild goats. You'll need to feed them properly, and they'll fetch you with eggs and milk that can be used to brew potions or be made into more powerful products with the help of facilities. You'll need to keep an eye on the health and stamina bars. Because if you are exhausted you'll faint and loose the level. Refilling either of the bars takes potions. Potions can be cooked of water, eggs, cheese omelets, milk and more. The more powerful ingredients you use, the more energy you have to defeat pirates, cast rituals and construct machines.

With numerous upgrades, surprises, amazing graphics and amusing characters Youda Survivor 2 will satisfy even the most demanding strategy fans. The game is developed and published on iOS by G5 Entertainment under license from Youdagames.
