Hey PAX'ers,
Alex here, from Owlchemy Labs - the developers of 'Smuggle Truck'. We have just been selected for the
PAX Boston Indie Showcase and wanted to start a conversation here to get you guys ready for the awesome sauce that will be our PAX playable demo!
To give you guys a sneak peek at the game before you get to PAX East, we've just released the game's demo on Kongregate, for free, and are running a contest to design the craziest / best level for the game. See below for the details. Please let us know if you have questions or want to see something specific. We're just two guys, so we're all about making something fun for you, the gamers.

That’s right, we’re releasing a level editor for a game that’s not out yet! Smuggle Truck will be out in March, 2010 for iPhone and iPad. Create a level *Today* using our fancy-shmancy level editor and you can win some sweet prizes.
How do I enter?
Just head to our
PLAYABLE DEMO on Kongregate and get crackin’. You can play one of our sample levels or create your own epic level to enter in the contest.
What do all of these buttons do?
We’ve created a level editor video walkthrough to help players learn the tool. It’s only 60 seconds, so check it out.

Hmm, Snuggle Truck. That could be arranged. What would the world of Snuggle Truck be like?
The game looks fun! We'll be doing a post about you and the other indie selections later today. Keep up the awesome sauce!
