Sword & Sworcery EP on iPad

gauss · Mar 2011

GET THIS GAME! five bucks.

Super dope retro pixelart adventure game with great music.... get headphones and curl up with it. iPhone version coming in April. I think this game is going to hit a sweet spot with a lot of polycounters. I have met the creator on a number of occasions and he is a really good dude, I hope the best for this game.

Joseph Silverman · Mar 2011

Very cool. Want a pc version! or hell, a mac version!

bounchfx · Mar 2011

I wish I had an ipad just for this.. been following it for a long time now. I really want to play.

Jeff Parrott · Mar 2011

Agreed Gauss! It's great. Music, world, characters, humor.

evilblah · Mar 2011

I love it. Pounced on it right away this morning.

i have to say the title is a major fail with the app store search engine! I tried to find the game on the app store last night, but kept spelling it "sorcery", with no results. I'll try again tonight, maybe I'll remember to spell that word wrong.

Game looks fantastic though

so wish I could play it on pc.. friggin awesome art

This looks incredible, i was pretty sad seeing as though i dont have an ipad to see its not iphone compatible. Although having watched the above vid i dont think the iphone screen size will do this justice!

I've been hands-on with both versions and while the iPad is obviously preferable, the game's development started on the iPhone so when the iPhone version drops in April it's still not a bad idea. Most people don't have 500 dollars to drop on a new tech gadget, not with the kind of money already spent on tech around here

Fucking beautiful.

Been playing it, about an hour so far! It's so awesome, reminds me of a time when games didn't hand you knowledge of how to play, and put emphasis on "play" instead of "perform." It is like night and day going from the iPad speakers to using headphones, I was shocked at the quality of the audio in my headphones - its really the way to experience it.

fun and gorgeous game, can't wait to spend more time with it

Kwramm · Mar 2011

doh, just ipad? needs a PC or mac version

weisheng · Mar 2011

super freeking awesome O_O need to get my hands on this somehow

Fomori · Mar 2011

Looks beautiful. I love a bit of quality retro action.

Just scored a new job and part of the benefits is that they give you a free ipad. So will be picking this up once I have it.

SHEPEIRO · Mar 2011

Loving it

hobodactyl · Mar 2011

I'm very excited, I've gotta wait for the iTouch version though

Definitely check out their articles on game design and whatnot, I read one last night from their site that was really inspiring.

hobo: got a link?

Klumpmeister · Apr 2011

Needs iPhone version now!

leslievdb · Apr 2011

first time i feel the need for an ipad

such a clever art style, i love it

ericdigital · Apr 2011

This game is so awesome, putting on a pair of headphones mixed with the awesome sound design the game really draws you in in a way that I totally unexpected.

arshlevon · Apr 2011

i love it so hard, i have been playing games on my ipad more and more lately, its really starting to heat up.

hobodactyl · Apr 2011

rooster: Sorry this is like a month late but this is the article I was talking about; we just had a baby so my internet perusal is erratic at best

Just downloaded it last night on iTouch; it's exactly what I've been looking for. Haven't gotten too far into it, but everything about it reeks of the love the developers poured into it. I'm thinking about buying the more expensive iPad-inclusive version just to support these guys. Buy it now!

Stinger88 · Apr 2011

Looks beautiful. Hope it comes to PC.

Maph · Apr 2011

Got it for iPhone, absolutely gorgeous and very artsy fartsy game (I'm a sucker for those)! I totally wonder how they did dem pixel "reflections"!

Ben Apuna · Apr 2011

This game looks very cool, I love the atmosphere and humor. Hope it lands on Steam someday.

@hobodactyl:

Congrats on having a baby!

Thanks for posting up that blog link, it was a good read.
