A Beanstalk Tale
Version: 1.51
In this game you slip into the role of a pig who needs to collect food for his family. The pig family lives in a shoehouse in a fairytale world and besides the house grows the neverending beanstalk. This beanstalk is the home of dangerous monsters as well as its the main source for food.
So you grab your bow and start your journey climbing up the beanstalk to collect as much food as you can.
The game has only one goal: Get as high as you can to achieve a new highscore.
The game features several additional screens and features like a highscore list, detailed statistics and a trophy collection. All your doings are stored and you get trophy cups for several situations. There is currently a total of 90 (!) cups you can achieve. Try to get them all!
There are 16 different food pickups, balloons, spike-addons, 5 different platforms, 6 different enemys and bosses. So don’t wait and get started!
The games controls:
Tilt the ZuneHD to move left and right.
Tap on the screen to shoot your bow in that direction.

- new Bee Hive boss
- new Mama Tarantula Boss
- All bosses (incl. Frog Boss) get harder if you encounter them several times in one game
- new bug enemy that crawls along the beanstalk
- pig can make a salto randomly when jumping on flowers

AMAZING. Idk where I read it, but I thought 3rd party apps weren’t allowed to be 3D.
Luckily, this disproves that
Xna updates have further allowed the development of 3d games and apps =P
And it takes ALOT of skill
this is an AWESOME Game!
Quite a nice game there!!! Kudos to the developer for showing his abilities
Well, WE NEED MORE of these types of apps here.
I’m pumped to start playing, just downloaded it. Yessss
It’s like Doodle Jump, but better! Awesome!
Actually, XNA still doesn’t allow 3D games. This game is still 2D. The graphics look 3D, but they are basically just pictures of 3D graphics. The gameplay itself is not 3D.
fantastic game. this is the most potential i’ve seen from the zune in months… and thats sad because ms just released the facebook app
the best 3rd party app for the zune HD i ever played!
This is by far the best homebrew game for the ZHD. Props to the developer.
My vote for the highest quality homebrew zune app. Very polished and addicting. The only problem i have with it is that it is not on zWam. As this is one of my most used apps I would love to see it on there.
This isn’t 3D, it’s like in Platformer, same thing, only, it’s a pig. Platformer and this game are not really “3D”
best app for zune yet
5/5
Great game. btw its kinda like duddle jump for the ipod touch but way better just so you know what kind of game it is
Amazing game, high scores and trophies make this game addictive. Great graphics and gameplay. 5/5!
This game is freaking addicting! I wasn’t sure at first if I’d like it, but it’s become my favorite app now.
