    Already got this but haven't gotten around to starting it yet. It's got uniformly positive reviews, so I see little reason not to get it. Just curious, though: does it play anything like that old SNES classic, The Lost Vikings, where each viking's unique powers had to be utilised to get to the end of the level?

    Might be because of their new game!
    As for @sinagog I don't know which you are talking about but it's more like save the day type! You are a Viking on a voyage to save your fellows. You slice and smash the ice and solve puzzles to get them to safety! It's a very good Puzzle game!

    It's showing up $2.99 for the universal app and $.99 for the iPhone in the US. Did I miss the sale? Or perhaps, just perhaps I'm too early...

    Had a lot of fun with this one, a Rovio Stars release if I am not mistaken. Worth a download and it was worth $0.99 too.

    Both versions show free now. If they don't for you go look something else up on the store then look it up again.

    How bad is the IAP in this? Is it pushy bad with pay walls or is it just for cheating? Guess I'll lock in the licenses either way.

    And yeah 8bit Doves is live as well so I'm guessing this is to celebrate that launch which is kind of weird but who am I to say no to a free game that will distract me from buying the new one. Heck it may encourage me to buy it.

    IAPs are completely unnecessary. The game itself even ridicules their presence, IIRC.

    Fantastic game.
    It's a pity that I'm stuck in the last levels with the latest update. I'm looking for a walkthrough but I haven't found any...

    Download the game asap. It's waaaaaaay better than the crappy Angry Birds.

    It's a pity the save files are not transferable between the iPhone only and Universal version of the game. I can't do it via iTunes, iCloud is not supported in the iPhone version...

    Anyway, for free this is a must have, fantastic physics based puzzler with tons of great, creative levels.

    Strange. The universal app seems to be the same size as the dedicated versions.

    Can ios now download only the assets required?

    There have been games that offered a separate download after install for Retina sets of graphics. Guess someone with an ipad should check the install size of the universal version. On my 4S with iOS 6.1.3 it's 56.5MB.

    ...

    Oh and the game, it's pretty amazing. Anyone that likes physics puzzle games (Siege Hero, Angry Birds, Cat Physics etc) should give it a try.

    I have both versions installed on my iPad Air:
    iPhone version - 56,8 MB
    Universal - 57,9 MB

    Actually when I open both apps, load the same level and switch between them I don't see any difference in sharpness or anything, apart from the obvious black border on the iPhone version in 2X mode. The menus in the Universal version are much sharper, that's the only difference that I notice.

    Bought this way back when it was released, and it's still my favorite puzzle game on iOS!! An absolutely fantastic game, polished to a shine.
