    I believe there's already a thread for this a couple of pages back. TouchArcade's been slow as **** these last few days, so I can't go back and check. :/

    The HD (iPad) version is yet to come. The iPhone version is a full blown retina version with all graphics in high definition.

    As we are a team of only three, it will be a couple of weeks until the iPad version, but it might just come as an update to the one available right now.

    Thanks @Snozberry for downloading and playing the game, we hope you like it!

    Picked this up this morning. Only a couple of early/tutorial levels in but very nice. Stuck it on my iPad by mistake so will sticknon my phone now. Universal would be great. Liked very much what I played through.

    Opposite of this, the trailer was funny and cute but these levels and puzzle are not as fun as I hope, still I guess it's better than buying a fake mine craft app.

    Game Impressions

    First, the art is amazing, everything seems hand-drawn, character have a lot of animations, they seem live to me... Very good indeed. Has a lot of personality.
    Controls are as easy as tap anywhere to interact or move to the desired location and there is a button to switch characters. Easy and simple. Made for touchscreens
    Gameplay, you have to use Love and Hate to interact and move the Others around to make a path and reach the red button. Puzzle Platformer would ne the closest tag I think. So far so good although the lack of GameCenter is a minus in my book

    @bramblett05 Sorry, no lite version planned as of now. It would also take at least another week to get one approved, so we will stick with our sale first as it is only .99$ / .79€ right now.

    @TheFrost Looking forward to hearing your impressions!

    @slamraman Thanks for playing the game, we are glad you liked it so far!

    @Hambo12 Sorry you didn't like it, maybe you will find it more challenging a little later as the early stages are made so beginners get ahold of the controls and mechanics in the game. There will be more other ones with different abilities that make for more challenging and fun puzzles.

    Thanks for sharing your honest oppinion! We might add Game Center later on, we had it in the game but wanted to add more than just plain "Finished level 1" - "Finished level 60" achievements so we want to spent some time to create some interesting and challenging achievements.

    All of the graphics are indeed handmade as well as the sound and music.

    I always prefer platformers on the iPhone instead of iPad, but this one doesn't have virtual buttons, so I suppose that would make it better on iPad (I prefer all other games on iPad, generally). Would love to hear from the dev whether they plan to make this version universal or come out with a separate HD version.

    @saiyukialex We put great effort into supporting old devices and older iOS versions. Those will be dropped when we add iPhone 5 support. It will be added in an update later on but for the initial release we decided to support all devices and iOS versions over having the 4" support.

    @lena Even though not finally decided we plan on updating the current iPhone version to support the iPad. There is quite a few things to consider, e.g. the huge size of retina iPad graphics, which will unnecessarily blow up the app size for users with older, non-retina devices. This is basically the main reason speaking for seperate versions. imho the main reason against it is that users who bought the iPhone app should not have to buy a universal app to play on their iPads, as they are the ones who supported the app from the beginning. You will however enjoy this game on the smaller iPhone/iTouch screen as the controls have been made for that screen, give it a try!
