It's now 48 hours since we released the teaser trailer into the world and opened the floodgates to our beta application site, and the response has been akin to an unexpected stampede of cuddle monsters.

Expected beta applicants by end of week: 100

Actual applicants as of Wednesday night: 1,200

In addition to that, the trailer has almost 18k views and we've made a ton more friends on Twitter, which we hope stick around for the ride.

We also got picked up by Polygon, Kotaku, Touch Arcade and a bunch of others we didn't think would be interested yet. I feel like we might just be on to something here guys and we'll be working ourselves into the ground to reward the attention. Thanks!
