I was so excited when I saw Babylonian Twins was finally released for the iPod touch today! I've been salivating for this game ever since touchArcade posted info about it months ago. And to boot, I was soooo mad when it came out on the iPad first last weekend, lol. This was an automatic purchase for me: I'm about 3/4 done downloading it right now. Can't wait to play it! And the history behind the game is really neat as well. Thanks Cosmos!!

It looked like an interesting game so I decided to buy it.
Having gone through the tutorials and some levels in the prison, I can see why people speak so highly of it.
Great activities with puzzles to solve.
Each brother has a unique series of skills.
Play as a tag team to reach your goals.
The only (minor) complaint is that the virtual controls can aren't as responsive as I would like it. But I suspect it's me...
