That looks totally rubbish, but I'm intrigued by the idea. It's baffling that they haven't got a more up-to-date trailer than that when the game's days away.

Ron Gilbert, the guy involved with earlier LucasArts adventures like Maniac Mansion/Monkey Island 1, 2 has also been involved with a couple of casual iOS games that I recently learned about.
World Spiral

And the recently released The Big Big Castle:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-big-big-castle!/id515771744
Both are just for iPad and I haven't played either of them yet. Anyone else have feedback?

Will wait for impressions, but I definitely dig the idea of a co-op SRPG.

Tiny Wings 2 is an insta-buy. Which got me thinking... How long must I wait for my next fix of GeoDefense??? I'll even settle for more level packs at this point...
I know it seems like a stupid question nowadays, but is this confirmed to be universal?

We know literally nothing about the game at all other than its existence.

More levels, a retina update, a universal update...I would love any (or all!) of these things.

Ski Safari dudes: how the hell do you do the Bust Through 5 Clouds in a Row challenge??
I can't even do 4!
Are you riding a specific animal/vehicle when going for it?

Any chance Pocket Heroes will be universal?

Have you updated the game recently? I'm not sure if that's the challenge, as I just recently reinstalled the game on my phone, but I know that in the most recent update the dev said part of the update deleted an impossible challenge. That could be the one.
I'm struggling too. I assume the secret might be to use an eagle...?
Not that mission. The one they fixed was literally impossible.

Arrrrrgh, I just burst through 4 clouds on an eagle, the eagle died, and then when I approached the 5th cloud, I didn't have enough momentum to break through it.
But yeah, seems like the eagle's the way to go.

I already hate that fucking kid Alex.
Yeah. And I already played that game. Did Rovio just buy it from someone else? I'm positive I played that game. Same assets, same blonde haired kid (I think). Did they buy the rights to it?

They did buy it-I think it was called Casey's Contraptions. I don't see what the big deal is-it's an interesting type of gameplay-they're putting their teams and money behind it and are trying something different than Angry Birds. If you like the style of game, you can probably assume that Rovio will continue to update the game with new levels...
If I have to rebuy the game...
Why wouldn't you? As far as I'm aware it's not the same game, and it uses new assets as well as new art.
This cost money you know.
Rovio bought the license and is doing another game with it. I don't see the big deal about it.
GeekyDad

On that we can agree. The game looks...not very interesting to me.
I also paid money for the original game...you know. I never sync to iTunes and Casey's Contraptions is gone from my purchase list on my iPad.
Oh, okay. That's a valid complaint, though Apple is at least partially responsible for that.
I'm seriously waiting for this, man.
I played the demo on PS3 and loved it. This will be so good on my iPad 3!!

People who are into visual novels like Jake Hunter on DS, I recommend getting Manhattan Requiem. The game used to be whooping $10.99 5 months ago, now it's only 99 cents!
edit: now its $4.99

Tell-tale ports to iOS have been garbage control and performance wise though. :\
I've been playing Carnivores: Ice Age after picking it up on sale recently. Awhile ago I rediscovered Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, which I used to love on PC back in the day. I'm not a big hunting game fan, but these games click for me (maybe its the dinosaurs?).
They've got me interested in trying more hunting games, hopefully something with a bit more in the ways of progression. Can anyone recommend me something on iOS? I've looked a bit but most of it seems to be shooting gallery type stuff, as opposed to actually exploring an open environment,mstalkimg your prey.

Try Deer Hunter Reloaded. It's not as open as Carnivores (cant freely explore an entire island), but it's still good fun, and looks stunning on the new iPad. It's also free (with IAP)

Sweet it looks like a new "Incredible Machines"! (Amazing Alex)
Ah...good idea. I'll hit Apple up for a refund if necessary.
It's an iOS game that cost a couple of dollars... Big deal.

Wow so the original game that rovio basically bought to reskin / update is now actually unavailable in your account history? That is so shit of apple and Rovio.
I also hate this auto spellcheck on my iPad, makes things slower then they need to be.

Sooooo addicted to Jukebeat.
Might end up buying all the song packs. Well, all the Konami ones anyway. I actually stand up when I play and I find myself dancing.

They haven't even changed much about the look of the character. Kind of funny, really.
Casey:
Alex:
Yes.
Generally it's disliked. Full of IAPs and feels like a tech demo. Wish I hadn't bought it. Thankfully it was cheap.

Puppy's Plaything is now available on the App Store. If you like puzzle games, give it a try!
0,99$ [universal]
A HD version for iPad 2&3 will be available later in July!

I'm pretty annoyed that Casey's Contraptions is no longer in my purchases. I know it's only a couple of quid, but it's the principal of the matter. Rovio will not get my monies.
It's not impossible, but it is a grind.
It's good. Don't believe the haters. The only place it was "generally disliked" was the one review on TA. I don't recall seeing any hate around here (except for Enco's post) and though it is a little grindy, it's no moreso than something like IB (in fact, it's far, FAR less). Haven't spent a cent other than the app cost and I've gotten at least a good 5-6 hours out of it.
Environments and such are a little repetitive, but the mechanics are decent enough that it hasn't really gotten boring (yet).
Anyone else here get Super Ox Wars? Holy shit that game is awesome. It's just the right side of Bullet Hell (I call it "Bullet Heck"
) to be fun but not frustrating. Minter's best iOS game, IMO.Well, the one boss pink slip battle I faced literally *was*, unless you dropped a few bucks on the "special" nitro. Rest of it, definitely drawn out but not impossible.
Same. I don't think you can win the boss cars without that in-app purchase, although someone told me that a perfect run with a fully upgraded car does the trick, but I'm sceptical.
My current stats are as follows (level 47):
Best 1/2 Mile: 12.827secs
Best 1/4 Mile: 8.287secs
Total Cash: $8,611,238
Cars Owned: 14
Races won: 729/1090
Time spent playing: 19h 30m
Time spent in garage: 3h 3m
Distance driven: 365.66 miles
Seems I've played it rather a lot.

Yeah, I dunno where this "generally disliked" came from. I liked the game too, though it's not without it's fair share of flaws. Still, for 0.99 it's a fun, if repetitive, arcade zombie shooter. Some people were expecting Left4Dead on iOS though, but that's just naive.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Interesting...anything new other than retina? Not sure id spend 2.99 just for an ipad version. Seems a little behind the times not to have a universal build.
