Big Sandwich Games already promised us a patch was coming to fix Hoard's text size issue, but over on the official site, it's revealed even more goodies coming in the same update. In addition to the text size fix, there will be a new option to restart the game both on the pause menu and the game over screen, allowing players to more quickly replay a map rather than having to go back through the options. There will also be a persistent multiplayer lobby (so you won't have to invite friends after every match), and there's a brand new Hoard mode map included in the patch for free.
Big Sandwich also promises that DLC is forthcoming, but we don't get much more than a hint as to what it might be, or when either it or the patch might be out. Hoard is a good game hidden in an unfortunate UI (as we said in the review) and these fixes will definitely make some of the frustrations a little easier to deal with.

Will you "re-review" the game? or at least update it?
Btw, more developers should learn a thing or two from Big Sandwich...

Has the studio commented on or hinted about an XBox 360 version?

Yay. Looks like a good game, and a responsive and good developer. Might pick up this game just to help support developers that are pro-active like this. :)

I take full credit for the restart option.
I spoke to the devs on the forums and they liked the idea ;D
Would've been great when i was gold medaling all of the levels.

I'm very interested in this game. I may have gambled $10 on it but for the additional 50% cost i want a demo to hedge my bet. They seem like a good developer though so it will probably end up on my impulse buy list (is that an oxymoron?) regardless.

The designer of Hoard did an interview with on another website. Talks about DLC, cut material, and a new game.

No Xbox version, unfortunately.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this game. When it was announced, one of the devs was posting on here about it and answering questions. A dev taking that small but thoughtful step means a lot to me, so I'll have to pick this up.
