From the launch desk
More nonsense
is on the way.
NewsNutz is in development for mobile. We'll post launch details and download links here when it's ready.
No release date announced yet. The hair refuses to comment.
A few things on the record.
Is this a news app?
No. It's a cartoon game inspired by news and public spectacle, not a source of reporting. The absurdity is intentional.
Where will I be able to play?
We're building for mobile, with iPhone first. Final platform availability and store links will be announced here.
Who's behind it?
