    iPhone visuals look like they are really taking off now. It's in Toucharcade's feature articles but for those who haven't seen it yet, here:

    This looks like the kind of game I'd seriously suck at, but it also looks really cool. Might just have to pick it up when it comes out. A blimp with guns is cool...

    Huh, well someone is porting "Space Taxi Reloaded" over to the iDevice... wonder if these two will clash at all.

    The music in the video is not bad neither. Developers claim on their website they'll have 'original soundtrack'. Hope the gameplay'll be good as well.

    Hi guys,

    thanks for comments! These times are very interesting for us. The game is being polished right now, but it's taking us a bit longer, because we really want to put out not only beautiful game, but also very stable and playable game.

    Many of you are asking about the controls. We spent good time to make it feel right. It might seem to be bit rough at beginning, but after couple minutes of playing - you'll get it! We are posting a HD video next week, where you'll see the whole device in action. So stay tuned! Make sure you are following us on twitter :)

    I am posting some nice screens from further levels...

    It's TOFTT, and it means take one for the team.

    You really wouldn't be TOFTT-ing if there was a lite version. The whole point behind the premise is that one or two people buy the game and post their thoughts before everyone spends their money on it. If we could download lite versions of everything we really wouldn't need TOFTT-ers :D

    I'd guess somewhere between $2.99 and $4.99. Seems like a good $2.99 game to me.

    game price

    The game will cost 2.99$. We think this is very friendly price. What about you?
    We are not planning to release lite version together with full game. But maybe later...

    While most of you are blown away by the graphics, the game also has very interesting story. The content of missions dramatically changes throughout the campaign.

    And also the global score chart connected with facebook adds replayability. So who will be the best Blimp pilot? We'll see when the game is out!

    $2.99 sounds good. No Twitter integration?

    I agree. It's one of those fancy features that not everyone will use. It's good to put on feature list as it's very popular now and the world's #1 fad, but to be honest, if you can allocate that time for something else more useful, eg. tweaking gameplay, framerate, etc – then it would be much better :)
