Skyward Collapse tablet version?

Yea, eventually most of the big kinks in the Android market will work out in terms of technical restrictions, and it doesn't require coercion to happen.  Whether the actual monetary side of it works out is a bit more tricky but I figure it will since the user base is big enough.

But it ain't there yet

Though in some respects it does suck for the consumers, you could argue, because it prevents porting of older games unless those games have their graphics redrawn from scratch.  Out of this World did that, but I thought it lost some of its original charm by doing that.  And I suspect that drove up the price for consumers.  And other 90s classics that might be ported could have an even tougher time.

So it's hard to say.

Personally, I would argue reporting old (control based) games over to a touch-screen is a bad deal for a consumer anyways

I can't imagine trying to play a platformer, Out of This World or similar games on a touch screen and having fun doing it.

I just thought I'd say:   If you guys end up doing an iOS version of this, that'd be pretty darn awesome, really.   This'd be perfect for that.   I just dont find enough good strategy games on there, I really dont.  You'd certainly have my purchase right away.

I remember reading an article from a game developer who basically complained that porting to android simply added 10x more need to "tech support" for < 10% of the sales.

But .. you know.. freedom.

Yeah, well, at least Android doesn't have the Apple dictators decided to not allow your game in "just because" or "not comfortable with your game". Which they've been doing that a lot lately.
