Your mission is to find Dr. Savain and restore order to the biosphere before the exiled arrive, enabling them to land safely.Grokion is an iconic action-adventure game inspired by the dark explorations of Metroid and intense platforming of Mega Man. Entwining brilliant modern game-play mechanics, physics-based puzzles and pure old-school styling, it delivers a nostalgic yet progressive gaming experience.__________________________________VISIT US: grokion.comFOLLOW US: twitter.com/dododominationLIKE US: facebook.com/grokion Information Seller: Genre:Action, Adventure Release:Jun 05, 2010 Updated:Nov 30, -0001 Version: Size:0.0 TouchArcade Rating:Unrated User Rating: (20) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal As much as I didn't want to add this one here... for many reasons I'm sure just about all of you know - This is still a must own iOS game, and for a buck, the hour of entertainment that you'll get out of it is definitely worth it.

It really bums that no additional content will ever be added, but this is still a great deal for a buck. Probably still one of my favorite platformers. Played through it, I don't know how many times!

Never would have reAlized that I was missing so many good titles. I know, you are going to say, Blasphemy! So other than that, are there moveable controls, how does it control on my new ipad, and is this a good hdmi tv game? And of course, is it worth my buck?

Maybe it's an HDMI thing. Here's where my confusion lies: I bought the Chthulu board game (I forget the mame) for iPhone, not the iPad version). Curses! JK. Anyway, it has an Airplay option. When I used that to connect the game on my iPhone 4S with my Apple TV 2, it remained hi-resolution. Same with the iPhone version of Real Racing.

Greyskull, I use zoom 4x mode on my tv to offset the 2x, so I get no borders on the top or bottom playing 2x games on my ipad. Do you have a zoom 4x mode? Try it and you will pretty much get full screen with all tvs. Airplay is usually fullscreen, mirroring and airplay are completely different, see the hdmi thread. You can ask any of us in there. SV and one of the mods here just got one today! My hdmi revolution has just begun! Next is wireless bluetooth joysticks. Man, the Gameloft duo gamer joystick is sweet. Just like an xbox controller. Anyway, see the hdmi thread, don't want to hijack this thread anymore with talk of hdmi, airplay, or mirroring. http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=173262 ninjackid Well-Known Member May 27, 2010 9,380 2 38 #12 ninjackid, Jan 15, 2013 Yes, blasphemy!
