It does, but in most cases not that great. I was able to completely play through it on my iPod, but that may have do with the fact that I'm running iOS 6 on it.. I dunno.

I'd say it's probably best to wait. I'm sure like all Telltale games that the first episode will eventually go free, then you can give that a try with no risk of losing money if it doesn't work so great for you.

I would say no. I tapped on the icon about 7 times, everytime then reset back to my home screen. Tried again, had 'loading' and then crashed. Another 10 or so times later and i got to the main menu and actually got past the first part or two (i wont ruin it) but a few times it was out of sync and once a zombie bit me as the game froze at an important moment.

I'm going to wait for my ipad and play it on that, ipod touch i wouldnt spend any money on at all (and even more so as they have even changed the description not to include ipod touch 4th gen), so if you did buy it now i wouldnt say you are 'covered' at all for your money back as they at least warn you now (not when i bought it though !)

When it plays well its a great game but i'll have to wait till i get my new ipad.

It did for me, I usually shut down apps running in the background and reboot. But as the thee guy said most telltale games end up with the first episode free and the others you can buy for IAP.

*my iPod is jailbroken.. not sure if that effects performance or not.

Well had another email from TellTale after my earlier rant, this one was good as the guy really was apologising, said to get a refund from Apple as he doesnt have access to who bought what etc.

Told him not to worry as i'm getting a new ipad soon so i'll wait to play it on there. At the end of the day its a genuine mistake, but i do wish some larger companies would do more playtesting, we all have different iOS devices here so i'm sure many of us would help for nothing with betas.

Anyway look forward to playing this in the near future, from what i've seen of it it looks great

We all see it as a mistake on their part! But, for the rest of us, they didn't say whether they're going to fix this here or not? I'd like to be able to play it on my touch sooner than later! And yeah, lots of us test a lot and would jump at the chance! All they gotta do is ask, right? Still, I'm looking for that glint of light hoping this game will be fixed, as are others! If you hear anything, post it here, allright?

Should I get this for The iPad or Xbox instead? There is practically no price difference and I don't want to waste space on iPad as this will only keep on getting larger in size (with future episodes) and it'll be months (possible years) before we get all five episodes. Can't delete it from the iPad as that'd result in losing my save data. Xbox doesn't have space issues and even if it did, I can always delete the game and keep the save files.

So is there any real benefit in getting it for the iPad? Other than portability I guess, but the game isnt that long and doubt there's much replay value either except for new episodes.

Personally I find playing point and click adventure games on an iPad (or iPhone for that matter) vastly superior to playing on a computer screen or a TV set -- they feel much more immediate, intuitive, and, for lack of a better term, intimate. I haven't played WD on the Xbox, but some who have describe their experience on the iPad in similar terms. It should be noted that even though the iPad version has the same content as the XBox version, there are differences in the way the controls work (besides the obvious ones).

As to the matter of file size, you can always delete chapters after you finish them without losing your overall save. There are tools like PhoneViewer that allow you to back up app data files.

In terms of replayability, I ended up replaying the first chapter immediately after I finished it, so I could try out different choices. As the chapters continue, I can easily imagine playing through them using different save files from previous chapters. Make of that what you will.

Yeah, it works fine. Don't expect a smooth framerate or quickly loading scenes, but it works. I've experienced no crashes at all.

Feck!! This game doesn't let you restore IAPs?!?! I bought the damn season ticket and now it's gone? Arrrrgh I am getting sick of this fecking IAP bullshit.

Edit:
I did some googling and discovered that if you "buy" the multipack a second time, it comes up with the old "you have already purchased this item" message and you get the multipack "for free" meaning you aren't charged a second time. Phew!
