Now THIS was unexpected! The game wasn't even hinted as an iPad release until yesterday and then suddenly arrives today. Amazing stuff, though I'm not entirely confident about the finicky platform segments with a virtual dpad Very Happy

The devs said they haven't ruled it out yet, but the smaller screen makes playing the game really cramped and uncomfortable. People have been modding the plist in order to make it work on iPhone and it... well.. does... sorta. Sometimes the touch can be a little off-centre.

The whole game?! I know the update only just went live a short time ago, that can take a while to filter through to different regions, but the whole GAME isn't available for you?
