For the life of me, I don't know why devs bother with publishers like that on iOS. Seems like a game as noticeable as Horn would be easy to hype yourself.
It's $1.99 but I picked it up anyway.

If either of you'd like, we could have a 1v1 quick practice game so you can ask me questions and learn the basics. The game's website is: http://www.chimerasw.com/starbaseorion/. They organize tournaments there and you can meet other players on their forums.
Ditto.

I've played a few games of it online and offline, and it's a pretty solid 4X. I've been trying to setup a multiplayer game the past week, and I'm getting all sorts of errors. Has anyone else had any success?
The game also gets updated fairly regularly with entirely new features like the 'Heroes' they added last build.
And Vita!
Awesome game indeed. I have it on Steam too, but only played for half an hour or something. Was planning to get back to the game once I cleared my backlog, but since I got the game on the iPad I can't put it down, unless it's for playing TWEWY. The game is more enjoyable to me on the iPad. Feels like a painting coming to life on your hands, it's a more intimate experience, if that makes any sense.

What the fuck! I updated Puzzle Craft and now my save game is gone. Totally gone. I didn't even have that string error...I was just waiting until the update to progress.
I am soooooo bummed out right now.
Jesus. So much time wasted.

Yes it makes perfect sense to me.
I'm ashamed to say it didn't click with me on 360....my fault probably (the demo sucks btw).
I took off the dust from my 360 and tried it for a direct and live comparison.
Call me mad but I much prefer the iPad version (which btw, looking and playing at both version is I dare say a PERFECT port).
Laying in bed in the dark with the stranger voice in your head holding in your hands this colorful painting come to live is an experience on its own...nothing the 360 in a dark room with a nice TV set and surround headphones can give to me.
I know this kind of things are like the devil here on NeoGAF but still...it is so to me.
And I used to spent WEEKS to build water cooled rigs just to push to the extreme some Oblivion mod or...you get the idea.
This game is absolutely awesome.
I hope it stays on the top charts for long, as a memento to other devs (and to make Supergiant even more rich so they will do something new hopefully on iPad).
In retrospect, many other iOS ports, even the good and praised ones, are laughable.
Honestly, I didn't thought it was possible yet...the gap within home consoles and iOS platform has been reduced exponentially last year for many genres but a 1:1 perfect port of an ACTION game wasn't expected (other genre IMHO are way superior on iOS than other platforms).
Fortunately all the genres I like are covered (not a fan anymore of 3D titles).
Anyway...now it's time to conclude this incredible ride....back to Bastion.
Same here.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Bastion is great. Hope iPad gets more like it.

I've started a few multiplayer games against GC friends this week without any problems (but I haven't tried any games against random people recently, although I had no problems with that a month ago), other than that I've experienced long load times when setting up games (up to 4 seconds). Do you have the latest version of the game and firmware? What kind of errors are you getting and are they from trying to start games with random people or GC friends?

Man, Puzzle crap. The shits just keep on coming! Seems like another 100 Rogues on our hands.

wow, that finally put the final nail in their coffin then.
I saw there was an update, created a new save on the old game (to the point of *just* creating a hut), downloaded the update... no extra money AT ALL.
So it looks like it doesn't delete everyone's save, but most (even if it wasn't corrupted, maybe it detected something in the save that would've meant it corrupted in the future?)... wow. This probably has to be the biggest fuck-up in app history.
I might grit my teeth and head over to TA to see what people are saying over there...

Yeah, I give up trying to defend them... how in the world could they have made it even worse is beyond me. Whatever they're doing wrong, it's inexcusable now. The plus side is all this makes FarSight's countless problems with TPA over all platforms look not so bad!

So it ended.
2 am here, just completed Bastion.
Tears.
It was absolutely incredible, final sequences are even better than the rest of the game (if possible).
I would like to thank Supergiant Games for this incredible experience.
It's more than a game, it doesn't matter the platform....it's storytelling at its finest.
I WAS The Kid.
If I could I would hug you personally
On a more technical and general note, I would like to point out that
1) 2D graphics is amazing, IMHO way superior to 3D on any platform since forever, and it can be just PERFECT on the iPad.
2) Isometric view is just so good (my personal,preferred view). Devs...more isometric games please.
3) I never liked those too much, but I'm a believer now. Virtual controls work. I was never, ever, bothered playing the game I hadn't a pad in my hands. On the contrary. I was so sucked in by the game the medium lost importance. I was the Kid and I was listening to my story. I think it's the greatest achievement a game can look for (other than being awesome, that is).
The only thing that saddens me is the fact I already know these games are rare and I wonder when the something comparable will be in the AppStore.

Are the touch controls better for Bastion, or the virtual d-pad?

Classic controls for me
Updated and still have my save plus the 5k
Same.
I got Puzzlecraft on the day it was released, I played sporadically and this morning reached lv20, updated and noticed I kept my save and got the money.
it's a great recommendation bro. haven't actually finished it yet either too! well worth 5 quid easily.
I don't remember any performance issues, what do you mean?

Oh, fuckin' wow. Well, I haven't had any problems, so if this update has no new content, I ain't gonna mess with it until I need to. Already finished the game anyway.
The problem is "hype" doesn't necessarily translate into much. It takes a lot of downloads to get something to the top of the App Store to give you a chance of going wide, and even strong coverage on iOS gaming sites doesn't get you close to enough people downloading to crack the top. And if you don't crack the top, it can a swift ride to obscurity.
For a developer who doesn't have the install base to cross promote from or the relationship with Apple to help tip towards a feature slot, using a publisher can add more value than you give up.

So guys, Keiko Souldrainer. Name obviously means nothing to you but what if I told you it was Kuru Kuru Kururin?
Really does not control well right now because the virtual stick is too small which makes for very jerky movements in a game in which you require precision, but if they can sort that in an update, either by adding tilt or increasing the range, it could be pretty good.
(Though get a GBA first, of course.)

No one tried Nom Nation? It's an educational game made by Channel4, but it reveals itself as a little masterpiece in the platform/adventure genre. It doesn't even cost a buck!
It was running with some noticeable frame skip for me before; now it feels like 60 FPS. Drawing lines is much smoother. Might be because I'm running on the latest OS beta?
Could be. I can't tell if it's changed for me but I haven't played in a week or more.
Updated and still have my save plus the 5k
Yeah, same. That was a scary update. I'm almost to level 23 and ready to finish this game.
EDIT: the toolbar still sucks, even with this update.

So I'm sure I missed the discussion on this, but Trigger Fist....good? At $0.99 I'm going to bite as it looks like a shooter that would actually work on iOS.
Is it also coming for iPad?
