First off, we'd like to give a shout out and a thank you to all of our long-time fans. Here's to all of you who've been with us from the very beginning, who've supported us since our early days in Flash, who've waited in eager anticipation to finally see the likes of Cipher Prime on the face of <i>Steam</i>!

And to all of those new to our family, Welcome! If you like <i>Fractal</i>, be sure check out our other games: <i><a href="http://www.playauditorium.com">Auditorium</a></i> and <i><a href="http://www.cipherprime.com/games/pulse/">Pulse: Volume One</a></i>.

I tell ya folks, it's been one helluva launch week! Tuesday saw the release of <i>Fractal: Make Blooms Not War</i>. Before the day's end, it had risen to the #1 position on the Top Sellers chart for Casual games, and held it for the better part of the week! It's currently holding position #2.

Also, for those who hadn't heard yet, anyone that previously purchased <i>Fractal: Make Blooms Not War</i> from the Cipher Prime Store is eligible to receive a free copy of <i>Fractal</i> on Steam! Redemption codes are available as of Friday. For details, check out our blog post <a href="http://www.cipherprime.com/2011/12/steam-codes-for-fractal-owners/">"Steam Codes for Fractal Owners!"</a>

Friday also saw the release of our first minor update. A few Windows users were experiencing an issue where the game would close out shortly after running it. The reason being was that the necessary Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable package wasn't installed. This is now included in the update. Let us know if you folks run into any further issues.

So far, we've gotten some pretty great feedback and reviews. One we especially enjoyed was a video review / tutorial by the guys over at GiantBomb, <a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-fractal-make-blooms-not-war/17-5340/">"Quick Look: Fractal: Make Blooms Not War."</a> If you're interested in seeing more reviews, check out these by <a href="http://www.next-gen.biz/reviews/fractal-make-blooms-not-war-review">Edge Magazine</a> and <a href="http://gameosaurus.com/roahr/2011/11/electric-exploding-honeycomb-fractal-review/">Gameosaurus</a>.
