We were lucky to play with and get a sneak peak at Smuggle Truck last month, built by Boston-based Owlchemy Labs. Having gotten a bit more buzz since, there are apparently immigration organizations attempting to block its release.

Owlchemy is prepping to release a level creation contest and campaign starting next week, where the winner will be a featured avatar in the game (one of the immigrants in the back of the truck). The contest is helping Owlchemy build momentum for release of Smuggle Truck to the app store and its debut at PAX East.

What do you think about the controversy?
