Update #9: Update #9 WHAT THE?
Ok, sorry for the lateness on this update. Obviously we didn't meet our lofty goals to get Bodoink going through Kickstarter. We are still moving ahead with the project and there will be an awesome blog entry on what we learned about this process. In the meantime, all the money you wanted to throw our way can go to this other great Chicago based project.

This game looks super fun and we are going to give them our full endorsement,whether they want it or not!
Update #8: Update #8 We need a sugar daddy fast!
3 hours left and we have...a ways to go. If one of you 1%'ers are out there, feel free to drop some money in and we won't occupy your estate.
In the meantime, here's an interview with Lead Designer Patrick Dwyer talking about Bodoink with XBLAFANS.

Don't worry! Kickstarters always surge in the final days as it gets more promotion from 'ending soon'. You guys should connect with Colbert Nation and tell them to get in the game. :)

MJ for sure!! The others were amusing and all, but no one can touch him as a dancer.

Connected as Josh Tsui (435 friends)
Josh Tsui is the President of Robomodo/Robomite and leading the charge on this game. He loves games, kids and making food fun!
Robomodo was founded in 2008 by industry veterans from such esteemed franchises as Tony Hawk, Fight Night, and Mortal Kombat. In 2011 we started up the new family games label Robomite to create fun games that kids of all ages can play together.
Through Robomite, we are looking to experiment in different spaces with different audiences. This Kickstarter project is our first endeavor into alternate sources of funding and development, we are very excited and hope you are too!
I don't even know how to respond to this. Let me try... Thanks for the support!
