I wish people would just include these things in the game description. Unfortunately, it's still not possible to assume retina graphics in new games, and I sure won't buy a game without it.

How about Retina for iPhone?

Very happy to see this released. Terrific game.

So thrilled and pleasantly surprised that this has come out so quickly. Can't wait to play it!

This is completely off topic (kind of) but since the new Touch Arcade app is out, which are you guys going to use for the wish list, TA or AppShopper? I wish the wish list from AppShopper transfered over... I see no need to add to both.

Also, has anyone used the 'Upcoming' section of the wish list for the TA app? I tried to search for Lost Winds 2 the other day since I knew it would be arriving sooner or later and I wanted to add it to the Upcoming section, but since the app wasn't out yet in the store TA couldn't find it, of course. So, what is the point of an Upcoming section if you can't add apps that aren't out yet? I must be missing something...

Thanks!

You have to search for articles on the upcoming game and then click on the watch button. Thats how I did it for Star Command.

Go to a news article about an upcoming game and you can add it to watchlist from there.

Starting to play the first one, its awesome and the controls seems good and I learned that you can almost move him only with the wind (already hooked) Awesome game!

Or maybe he means that the controls were horrible.

I also gave up on the first game because of the controls. There was a ledge that you were supposed to work your way up to with a helicopter plant; I did it once, jumped down to pick up something else, and could never get up there again. And I tried, believe me. I tried and tried and tried.

I loved everything else about the game -- the graphics, the storyline, the atmosphere -- so it was a damn shame I couldn't finish it. Hopefully the controls are better in this one.

Cheers.

Have you tried it since the latest update? It is much easier now. Also it helps to reread the help file. It is not always 'swipe often and fast', e.g. the helicopter plant where you have to draw a slow path as with the flames, which never went far enough for me because I made the mistake to swipe too fast until I learned most commands can be done without hectical movements. I play with D-Pad enabled, using the swipes for the wind only.
