    looks cool. I wish the thing at the top was at the bottom though, or could possible disappear or fade out without use. It takes up too much of the screen.

    Ehhh.. tried it, but it doesn't look all too great. Plus, I want people to know it's a game that was originally on the DS and not some other random game.

    I agree, maybe a downward swipe on the screen to drop it down and an upward swipe to hide it again

    I'm not, I'm just saying. People would ignore it if it was just some random game and wouldn't bother to read ahead and realize this is a DS game. Some people liked this game on the DS and had a lot of positive feedback.

    Oh I get what you are saying. What we have here is a big ol' miscommunication. VegantTnT gets what I'm saying though. I meant that in the game, I wish the bar at the top would fade out therefore leaving more screen real-estate for the actual gameplay. Get it now? :)

    Why would people ignore it before knowing it was a DS game? How do you think the plethora of other successful apps made it?

    Ooo, so you tried it on DS?

    I thought you were referring to the part about giving the top bar the ability to be hidden

    Ohhh... total misocmmunication here. I thought you meant on the thread the little bar on top that says Robocalypse. Wow... total miscommunication sorry guys, didn't mean to confuse you.

    I think the game looks worthy of a d/l by me.

    Looks interesting.

    I just hope it's not just a DS port. Here's hoping for them making use of the processing power of the iphone.

    Crispy ex-game developer
    I desperately wanted to love robocalypse but on the DS the touch screen accuracy was spotty and your minion AI and pathfinding was atrocious (which your success depends upon). Either every game reviewer seemed to give it a pass because it was an original IP, had a lot of charm and was, in my opinion, a noble failure or I just wasn't playing the same game they were.

    That said, I believe almost all of my gripes with the game could be solved with the extra processing power of the iPhone and a little extra polish. I'd certainly be willing to take another chance on an iPhone version of the game, even at a premium price.

    So... this has online multiplayer right? Not wifi. Would love to try something new. RTS and a shooter.

    Yeah sorry, added description on front page also. It has 18 head-to-head and co-op WiFi missions. Not sure if that means online multiplayer, but sounds good nonetheless.

    We'll see... so far the ones in the App Store aren't that great except for maybe Uniwars, which isn't really a Starcraft-type of game. Command and Conquer looks really nice though and so does Quantum Collapse. Rise of Lost Empires is also something that looks gorgeous.
     
  20. Played and loved the DS version. From the interview on IGN, it seems like they'll be making improvements to the game instead of just straight-up porting. Would definitely be a worthy purchase in my book.
