A whole new season for Flock is now available for download on PC: Spring! It introduces a load of new improvements: six all new levels, the rabbit, the carrot, and burrows. What do all these amazing things do? Read on to find out
Rabbits: The cutest animal yet to be Flocked, they breed like crazy!
Burrowing Tunnels: Rabbits need a home too, so we've given them some nice carrot patches to dig up... the resulting tunnel can transport any animal, multiplying the fun!
Giant Carrot: This massive, succulent vegetable will get all the animals going hunger-mad, devouring it any chance they get. Pick this bad boy up, and watch as they follow you anywhere!
New Campaign: Of course all these wonderful new features would be nothing without a few fiendish and fun levels to experience them on! 6 brand spanking new levels await to test your Flock! skills... if you get the best medals, you'll unlock all these goodies plus two special trophy objects to put into your own levels!
Level Editor tweaks: We've spent some time polishing up the Level Editor too, so if you're a fan of making your own levels to share, or if this is your first time dabbling with our tools, then you'll be sure to find it even easier than before!
If you're using Steam, the update will be automatically downloaded to you. Otherwise, download the patch here.
Get ready for an awesome Flock PC update coming at you tomorrow... we've got a whole new season ready for you to play - Spring. The Spring campaign includes six new levels, a new animal, and special new objects which will change the way you herd. Want to know more? Check back tomorrow and find out!
In the meantime, check out the coolest Flock fan creation yet... Flock Shoes! I have no idea what the background story for their creation is... but I know I want a pair ;)
But wait, there's more! Even if you don't own the Steam version, there's still a lot of game tuning we've been stealthily working on to perfect the game. Just download this new patch (it's automatically installed for Steam users).

Over on our Unity forums, we had several requests to release the Flock soundtrack in downloadable format. We heard your request, and I'm excited to announce the immediate availability of the Flock soundtrack for download! We're releasing it for free download, so give it a listen. It's in OGG format -- a lot of media players can play it, but if you can't then perhaps give Winamp a download.
The album includes eleven songs used in-game, plus three songs used in our trailers, for a total of fourteen awesome songs. It also includes some album art -- the picture is taken nearby the Proper offices in Dundee, Scotland. It's not even photoshopped, you'll regularly see UFO's herding animals across that street. Well, maybe only after visiting one or two of the pubs there.
If you make any cool remixes of the songs, don't forget to send them our way! ;)
