Control issues fixed... super sale... wow... finally it's time to smash the buy button on this one. Been waiting for this!
(Probably will play it extensively once I get my iPad "3" this summer on higher then full HD resolution!)

It's a unique platformer like Swordigo. Enjoying it lots so far. Visually, it's very impressive as well. Wish the controls were better still. The D-pad isn't amazing. Definitely not just another speed-runner though.

The new LostWinds update v1.0.2:
• runs at full resolution on the new iPad (3rd generation) with fixes for a photo-mode crash
• has further control improvements (to both multi-touch and D-Pad)
• has performance optimizations that benefit all supported devices
• has an improved Photo-mode interface

Should be out in the next few days, subject to Apple's review.

As an Easter present, Frontier is dropping the price of LostWinds on the App Store to $0.99, CN¥6, £0.69, €0.79 starting 00:00am on Friday 6th April 2012 and ending 00:00am on Friday 13th April.

A great gift idea - or if you've been holding off, take the plunge now :-)

Awesome. Saw the sale, dropped by to see what the retina status was, and now I'm buying.

But now I'm curious: any plans for bringing Lost Winds 2 over? I never did get around to that one on the Wii.

I sure hope so. If you have a Wii, I highly recommend it. It trumps the first, which I found surprising. The story is even more bittersweet, the game has the addition of a map (which was always a bit of an issue with the first), and the new wind powers are delightful.

I grabbed this while on sale. Awesome! Hopefully I'll have some time tonight try it out.

Just picked this up on sale. Amazing looking game that I will never get to play much of due to a really terrible implementation of the dpad control scheme.

Why the locked position dpad? Its soooo close to the edge that I'd say about 30% of my movements register as wind swipes instead. If half the screen responded as a dpad and half the screen responded to the wind swipes this thing would be killer.

As it stands I'll try some more later tonight but probably will end up uninstalling. Bummer.
