Ever considered getting the game on Mac? Through Steam, FTL is usually discounted to a few bucks during the big sales.
Honestly I think it would be really hard to make it work on such a tiny screen. You'd have to scroll a lot, pinch even more and it just wouldn't be the same.

Release date: Soon Price: $10 Quote: "Which is funny, because we're very expensive on iPad with the same price that's extremely cheap on PC. It could even be the same users that have the different perception of what is a $10 game, just based on the system."

The heard you, they tried, it didn't suit their expectatives. Forget it. That's what they say in their forums/blogs.
That's what they say in their forums/blogs.[/QUOTE] Yeah... PC gaming... way too many games to play on my iPhone to have more... Yeah I seen a couple of videos and would be really hard to fit that for sure, but hope is always there
(again and again) Define: "soon"... I wrote elsewhere and think "soon" have been misused quite heavily lately. It is bad expectation management. I think Apple has a practice of how long it takes to review/approval an app so there should be an expected time line. I miss what people used to say "submitted to Apple". This also applied some what to Heartstone as well.
