Word Monkey is coming to iPad courtesy of a new update that has just been submitted to Apple!

The new update makes Word Monkey a universal app that will run on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Essentially, if you already have Word Monkey for your iPhone or iPod touch, you get the iPad version for free!

Here are some new features coming with the update:

• Play Word Monkey on the beautiful iPad screen with hi-res graphics.
• Compete against a friend with the new split-screen multiplayer mode that’s only available for iPad.
• Don’t have any good letters? Use two fingers to scroll the blocks upwards to get new letters quickly.

Note that with the new iPad support, devices running OS 2.x will no longer be supported. You can upgrade your device to a newer version from iTunes.

Most specifically, we tweaked one of the gameplay rules. Before, you couldn’t spell the same word twice in a single game session. The monkey would simply scratch his head, and the letters would stay on the screen. We realized this was confusing to some players (“Did I not spell the word right?” or “Is that word not recognized by the game?”). Now, the letters will disappear, but you won’t get points for a word that has already been spelled during a session.

In addition, we’ve added the “Smartest Monkeys” leaderboard in OpenFeint, so now you can see how your monkey stacks up to others that are playing the game. If you feel you must, you can also “Reset” your monkey and start all over again, though that would be a very mean thing to do to your monkey.

We clarified some of the instructions in the Dr. Schmachter intros, fixed a few bugs, and even improved performance on first generation devices. So make sure you grab the update from iTunes or in the App Store on your device. And if you don’t have the game yet, you can grab it here.

Word Monkey is now available in the App Store here! You can view more information about the game at the Word Monkey Game Page.

It’s been a long time coming, but our new game Word Monkey for iPhone & iPod touch has been submitted to Apple and should be available soon!

In Word Monkey, your goal as Dr. Schmachter’s lab assistant is to use your device to train a cute little lab monkey by programming words directly into its brain! You have to quickly spell words from the rising jumble of letters before they hit the top of the screen, or it’s game over.

Head over to the Word Monkey game page to find out more information about the game. There you’ll find screenshots of the game, and we’ll be posting some video of the game over the next few days.

We’ll post again when the game has been approved and is up on the App Store!

As always this update is free to you if you’ve already purchased the game. If not, you can always grab the game from the App Store here.

For 1.2, we partnered with the guys at Aptocore to bring global online high scores and award tracking to Sheepstacker using the fantastic AGON Social Platform for iPhone Games. Now you can see how you stack up against your friends, your neighborhood, your city, or the entire world!

In addition to online leaderboards, AGON also provides integration with Facebook. Want to brag to your friends about a great high score you got in Sheepstacker? With the tap of a button, you can publish a story directly to your Facebook feed.

We’ve made a few other changes under the hood as well. We’ve improved performance significantly, so the game should run much smoother now, and we’ve fixed a few bugs that we’ve come across. Overall, the experience should be much better and more complete.

Remember, you can still get Sheepstacker for 50% OFF this weekend only, so grab it now! We’ll see you online! Happy stacking!

UPDATE: You can check out the current high scores in REAL-TIME by heading to our Sheepstacker High Scores page.

If you’ve been on the fence about the game, here’s your chance to give it a try for free! The Lite version is naturally restricted in some ways, but it should be just enough to get you hooked. When you decide you want all of the sheep stacking madness, you can buy the full game directly from the Lite version. More information about the full version is available here.

Happy stacking!
