Sunset in the Rainforest
It is with a heavy heart today that we announce Flutter for Facebook will be going offline on the 23rd December. But wait! This is not the end, but instead the beginning of a transformation that will take Flutter to whole new heights. We’ve had a fantastic time producing and maintaining Flutter, it’s a product we’re proud of and care for deeply, but for us to take it further we need to look at the game from the ground-up and address some of its key issues to ensure that it can become a mainstream success. We are a lot more experienced now than we were when we first designed the game, and have been working very very hard to design an approach for the next version of Flutter which is a far better core experience. So from 23rd December we will be going into our chrysalis, putting our heads down, and emerging with a much more spectacular creature
But we had to give this version of the game a proper farewell! So here’s what we’ve done for you guys to play with over the last couple of weeks:
- All premium items except potions, powerups, and WWF items, are now purchasable with HD!
- We’ve made an epic finale quest for our loyal fans involving a little magical mishap with the Owl.
- The main forest is in sunset now, and in the last week will turn to nighttime before going to sleep
- We have two new flower packs that will be going live for FREE over the next two weeks

I’d like to know too what will happen to all the plants and items I have bought w/ real money? My bat, flowers, backgrounds etc. If I lose ALL that I will not return. I had another game that was going to (transform for the better ) and I lost all my money items and fish…and coins. I am not going to start ALL over again after all the work I put into getting things I paid for. Please answer this for us as I am not the only one wondering. Thanks! PLEASE let us keep what we have!!!

For the new Flutter, can you please make a “full-screen” option? It would make the ambiance of the game fantastic!

After playing this game for probably most of this last year (and watching it grow and fade) I am really going to miss it, and the music. One of those things that takes you out of the mundane, every day world for a few moments. Made a lot of internet friends/acquaintances with it. We always hoped it would go further and for a New Zealand game (good old Dunedin at that) that would have been extra special. I do hope we don’t just lose all our groves which we have so enjoyed creating and that it won’t turn into a “phone” game – which I do not possess.
12:31 amThanks for the memories at any rate. Merry Christmas, albeit a rather sad one for Flutter fans.

I would also like to know about several things. I have never before spent so much money on a game — will I keep some kind of credits to reflect this? When the new games comes out, will we get some kind of credit for how much work we put into it? I am going for level 55 by the 23rd. I am really sad to lose this game — I enjoyed it so much, and thought we were just starting out. I don’t know of any other facebook games I am interested in, so please come back with this one soon.

Tim, I let go of my dear forest after accepting that it is going to sleep. Much like a caterpillar, no? As you roll out the new game in May, I would like to offer to be a Beta tester. I loved the game. Caught a preview of it just now on the web and am as excited as a kindergartner. The website also suggested that one could “Sign up to become a beta tester at runawayplay.com” and that is what I want VERY much. Hope to hear from runawayplay soon. Happy New Year!
