Grasshopper's charity iOS game is Frog Minutes, coming March 30
Grasshopper Manufacture will officially unveil its first, charity-focused iOS app at its Grasstream 2 event on March 30. Though we still don't know exactly what it will be, Grasshopper has revealed in advance what it's called: Frog Minutes. Those two words don't really help us figure the game out that well. Nor does the logo, posted by Famitsu.
We won't have to wait too long to find out what it is: Grasshopper announced that in addition to being premiered at the event, the app will be available for download on the App Store on March 30. All proceeds will go to the Japanese Red Cross, to support victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.

Tokyo, Japan – February 28th, 2011 - Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. celebrates 13 years of keeping the spirit
of Punk alive in games with our second UStream event, Grasstream 2: Travis vs. Garcia at Shinjuku Loft Plus One.
While the original premise of the event was a clash of our outspoken protagonists, in light of recent events we're
directing our attention to raising money for the victims of the Tohoku Earthquake. Grasshopper Manufacture is proud
to donate proceeds from this event to earthquake and tsunami relief.
Additionally, Grasshopper Manufacture will debut our first iOS application, Frog Minutes, at Grasstream 2. Frog
Minutes will go on sale this Wednesday in the iTunes store with all proceeds going to the Japanese Red Cross.
Grasshopper Manufacture is also honored to have the cast of one of gaming's most popular podcasts, 8-4 Play,
joining us to provide English commentary for all of our international fans.
As a special treat for the fans who attend, we've prepared a memorable Grasshopper Manufacture-themed menu,
original Grasshopper Manufacture cocktails, and a very special present. And if you still haven't grabbed your copy of
the No More Heroes 2 Original Soundtrack, you can purchase it and other limited edition Grasshopper goods at the
show.
