Well yeah I saw that,,,,but the release date? Very curious about when this wonderfully looking game will come out.

this game really looks like it could be great.

I will say this:

1) It was originally a gameboy color game, which may worry you about the controls? don't! here's why:
2) I played it on WiiWare
3) I LOVED IT TO PIECES
4) I used the wiimote-pointer interface, and it worked very well, with ONE EXCEPTION
5) that exception was an EXTREMELY tightly timed level, that it just wasn't precise enough, but I eventually did it, and that was the only, isolated problem, the pointer interface was good 99.9999999% of the time
6) If the touch controls are anything like the wii-mote controls, this game won't be another crappy port, it'll be a really, really fun/unique puzzler for the iphone

on the Wii I felt like it was The Lost Vikings minus some of the fun (due to the GBC being much more limited than the hardware that The Lost Vikings was made on, but it made up for it in other ways and was still very fun) but on the iPhone the pacing seems much more sensible. I predict it will be a 10/10 game. The devs took a lot of care with the controls on the Wii, I'm sure they will on the iphone too.

Chillingo has made a name for themselves. Most of the titles they publish turn a profit. People follow them on twitter, and look out for what they're doing. Yes they're a "man in the middle," but they are much less expensive than alternative marketing routes. Most people associate "chillingo" with good games.

Also, IIRC, they often lend resources such as devs that are familiar with iphone development, artists, etc. that can help a 1-person game programmer out a LOT, help them make a 3-star into a 5-star game just with art assets and other various assistance
