Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for 2Bit

Q - What is 2Bit?
A - 2Bit is a retro inspired single-player arcade puzzler made for Apple's mobile devices.  Players guide 2Bit through death-defying traps and obstacles to escape "The Grid" and achieve "The Awesome" before they become erased.

Q - Why is 2Bit a square?
A - 2Bit is actually a pixel.  With a design concept that showed even less detail than an 8-bit retro game, the most basic form in design, a pixel, inspired us to create an entire pixel related World.   From there the idea for a character that is a simple square in a digital world was born.   We named him 2Bit.

Q - What is the Grid?
A - The Grid is the digital world that 2Bit inhabits.  But this is no ordinary world as well-timed action, nerves of steel, and displays of remarkable courage are required to the "Derezzer"!

Q - What is the Derezzer?
A - The Derezzer is the machine that controls the World we call The Grid.  To "rez up" or "rez down" is a technology term used when describing the increase or decrease in size.  When 2Bit is struck by the Derezzer he loses a bit of himself everytime.

Q - What is The Awesome?
A - Many video-game companies of the past used a rainbow in their logos.  This was an homage to the history of video-game companies.

Q - How do I achieve the Awesome?
A - Look outside when the sun is creeping out during a rainstorm.  Or just beat each level of The Grid :-)

FAQ for Beast Farmer: Swamp Chicken Edition

Q - What is Beast Farmer?
A - Beast Farmer is a series of dynamic touch-screen mobile games that allow a player to hatch, raise, and grow a fascinating beast from Beast Planet!

Q - And what is a Beast Farmer?
A - A Beast Farmer is you!  Each time a player enters the game they accept the role of Beast Farmer, a mythical creature native to Beast Planet.

Beast Farmers come from one of three tribes that inhabit the lost world that makes up Beast Planet, with each tribe excelling in various types of farming.  While some tribes prefer to raise Battle Beasts, other tribes only like to race Racing Beasts.

Q - Can I choose which Beast Farmer tribe I would like to be part of?
A - Not yet but in the future we will have the option of picking your farming avatar and declaring your dedication to your favorite tribe.

Q - What is a Swamp Chicken?
A - A Swamp Chicken is one of the mysterious beasts on Beast Planet.   They make their homes in the toxic Bogs of Doom, hidden deep in the darkest regions of Beast Planet.   Most closely related to the dinosaurs, these beasts cannot fly, but have tremendous leaping ability.  The Swamp Chicken's greatest weapons are a flying head-smash, firing their back spikes, and of course, the deadly Swamp Fart!

Q - How do I increase my Beast's strength in the Interactive Stages?
A - Strength is increased by teaching you Beast a series of tricks and battle moves.

In order to perform the moves you must swipe your finger across the screen.  Start at the center of the bird and slide your finger in various directions.

Check the "Help" button for specific directions.

Q - It is hard for me to complete the Fly-Catching game. Is there a secret?
A - Blue flies are worth the least amount of food points, while reds are worth more, and the fastest flie, the gold ones, are worth the most.

Try waiting for the red flies as they will help you fill your chicken's hunger meter the fastest, especially if you can't catch the gold one.

Once you have pressed down on a fly, drag it to your baby chicken's mouth, this will begin the feeding process.  Sometimes it helps to wiggle the fly over the chicken's mouth to begin its feeding.

Q - What happens if I have run out of food in the Interactive Stage?
A - By pressing the Food+ icon in the corner, you will return to the mini-game associated with each growth level.  It is during these mini-games that you can earn more food for your beast.

Q - What do I do once I have earned food in my mini-games?
A - Once you have earned food you can then press the Feed+ button in the top corner.  Once pressed, this button will take you back to the interactive stage where you can feed your beast all the food you have earned.

Q - When I am playing Chicken Run, my Beast smashes a rock, and inside the rock is a little blue glow-fly. What do I do with that fly?
A - The blue glow-fly helps you earn additional food points for your chicken.  However, the points are only earned if you press on the fly after it has been released from the smashing rock.

Q - How do I kill the Green Jade Dragon on the second level of Chicken Run?
A - One of the Swamp Chicken's favorite moves is the flying head-smash.  Try leaping above the Dragon and pressing the attack button when you are in the air.  This will perform a flying head-smash attack on the dragon.  Remember, you have to be close enough to your enemy to attempt this move successfully.

Q - I can't kill the Lava Slug, what am I doing wrong?
A - Just before you face the Lava Slug you must collect the Fire Cherry, which is suspended in mid-air just in front of where the Slug appears.  With this cherry you an use your attack button to shoot fire balls at your enemy.

Q - I loved playing Beast Farmer, how do I learn about new updates?
A - You can always be the first to learn about new updates, special game cheats, and much more, by registering.  You can register on the home screen of your game, or visit our websites and register there; www.beastfarmer.com or www.industrialbrothers.com.

Q - What will the next Beast Farmer game be about?
A - The next game will feature a single beast, which will allow a player to hatch, raise and battle with that Beast!  We are going to include much more content, multiple stages and levels, and provide frequent additional updates.

Q - Will there be a point where I can choose which Beast I want to raise?
A - Yes, however, we have a series of 3 individual Beast stories (games) that we would like to release first, before exploring this option.
