    “a fabulously compelling physics platformer.”, Keith Stewart, Hookshot Inc.

    “It's well designed, clever, and it plays brilliantly.” 8/10 Pocket Gamer

    The award-winning out of this world puzzle-platformer comes to the App Store!

    Houston, we have a bloblem...SolaRola stars Wiz and Waz, the game’s blob-like gung-ho duo, tasked with bouncing across a number of challenging planets with the ultimate aim of saving the galaxy.

    SolaRola for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch has been fully redeveloped to offer players brand new cartoon-style graphics and enjoyable, intuitive touch and tilt-based controls.

    Key Features:
    • Challenging planets to explore and survive
    • Realistic physics-based gameplay
    • Touch and tilt-based controls

    More about SolaRola:
    With each planet inhabited by all manner of enemies and hazards, the player must navigate Wiz and Waz across a number of ill-positioned obstacles including rocks, slime, bombs and trampolines. Both are susceptible to the planets’ gravity, so items must be strategically placed to guide them past the many obstructions and creatures that patrol the environments. As the game progresses, so the creatures get more aggressive, while the addition of volcanic worlds and razor-sharp hazards are a constant threat to the future of blobkind.

    It's coming through free in the US store. I don't know if it was there before it went free, but there is a small ad in the menu screens.

    Do you have to hear all the time "wee" "wee" when you are jumping or not? It's too frustrating! :mad:

    Not frustrating... irritating. But that is the only flaw i can find in the game.

    The controls are very bad, when I jump it feels almost like I have to force him :(

    Just fair warning -- I deleted it so I can't remember the exact number -- but this blows up to something like 165 MB.

    definitely going to give this a try.

    I have really fond memories of the original java one which I played years back. Unfortunately they don't seem to have kept the same look.

    Ha, bought this a week ago, played the first three levels and then deleted it. For free, it's worth checking out, but I was hoping for more coming from Square...=o/
     
  15. All please. :)

    What? Nothing to do with the first page (page is relative anyway, number of posts per page can be changed in preferences). Wherever you post appinfo, that's where it appears. Greyskull has to add =all to his post to show the description.
     
  17. Nah, if you do it on the first page, it will force the first post to change and show the description. It does work.

    Sometimes, but that's a bug. Used to be able to post multiple app info simultaneously. For months now it's been broken. Only one will display, and sometimes, but not always, have traits of the other. For instance if someone posts appinfo for a game, and another person for the lite version, you may see the description of the lite over the link for the full. That's the only reason that could work sometimes, and I hope they fix it some day.

    I edited my post on the first page. I guess it worked? I don't know.

    How is it that some threads when viewed in the TA App have the app description above the thread itself with the link to itunes? The links themselves with the AppInfo=ALL deal don't show through the actual App.

    Strange.

    It would be nice if all game threads like this had the info for those of us that are sometimes visiting through the actual app for the site. The links show when viewed in Safari on my iphone though... it just is kind of nice to use the actual app for this site.
     
  20. Yuppers, fully agree.

    This game is much better than I thought. The graphics really look good on my new ipad, and it has a lot of polish to the game.

    The game is a platform game like Wimp, but it is a little slower paced which some people might not like. But I think it is nice, cool looking graphics, and seems to be fun.

    Highly recommended!
