    Yes, of course. We make an universal App out of ALIEN TRIBE 2. So you can play it on iPad and iPhone.

    "Endless mode" means that once you have the Ark Ship finished and escaped the game won't be over.

    Unfortunately beta testing is closed now. Are you interested in taking parting in testing the next update (which is already in the planning)?

    I have to wait until October for my iPhone 6. I am really curious how Alien Tribe 2 is working on an iPhone. But I am sure the Devs gave their best :)

    right on


    I was able to help with the Beta Testing for this - and it was a blast.

    I did get this with a promo code, but for whatever reason, Apple revoked the code (yeah... never heard of this before... said that the app had been purchased by another account or something along those lines...) - so now I've got to wait to play this final version until I can get to the bank. =oP

    But if you're into 4X titles - this is definitely one to check out.

    Good.

    And no, thank you though. I double checked and turned out I had $4 I didn't know I had in there, so I was able to pick this up last night before the price went back to normal.

    Looking forward to getting into it tonight after work. =oD

    We already have the next update in the pipeline. Just minor changes and some bugfixes. Looks like iOS 8 causes problems with a lot of apps...

    I'm surprised to see that there is still no review of Alien Tribe 2 from either TA or Pocket Tactics. This is one of the most unique and uniquely fun strategy games for the platform.

    Hopefully the iPhone port can inspire some official response.

    EDIT: On another note, I think that a diplomatic layer/metagame just might be the best thing that could happen to Alien Tribe 2 (together with the already requested different scenarios).

    Currently, the game feels like an extremely grand and slow-paced RTS with 4X trappings. Which is awesome, mind you :) But with the addition of diplomacy and peaceful solutions (and why not alliances - let the Malloc deal with those long-range cloud buggers ;) - espionage and sabotage down the starlit road?), this might truly turn into the only true real-time 4X for iOS. Possibly one of the few and best for any platform.
