For the game to work with the Icade, you have to select Bluetooth / joypad in the controls options.
To play street fighter 2 on the icade you will need Imame. This may mean you will have to jailbreak your device as the Imame app got pulled from the app store because of it being an unofficial emulator and install having to install ROMs onto your device.

I'm sorry that you experienced it this way. I would like to clarify though, that you are not 'trapped' to make a purchase. The game is free to play forever if you are happy with the initial ship and don't want to participate on the online Leaderboards. We do show a popup asking if you want to purchase the leaderboards, because we want to make very clear that no high scores are submitted otherwise!

@err404: Nice, that's actually how I feel about it as well. These type of freemium models are the future for small indie studios like us. We simply can't ask $4 from the get-go because people generally don't want to pay to unknown developers.

@Thescore_59, @kevlar x: Glad you like it!

Just popping in to say that Phoenix HD is easily one of the best iOS shmups, and definitely the most beautiful one

The freemium model lets new users try the app before plopping down the $0.99 for access to leaderboards (very unique region-based leaderboard btw) and more ships which add a huge chunk of replay value to the game.

Check the leaderboards out here.

The game also features location based high-score achievements, like top in the city/state/country.

The iCade 8-bitty looks promising (http://toucharcade.com/2012/02/13/th...icade-8-bitty/). It looks, though, like it will have button mapping issues just like the iControlPad, due to the button layout (start and select buttons will probably end up as game buttons in some games). Also the square layout of buttons, instead of diamond, is a bit unusual for a game pad. Hopefully it doesn't feel weird. The price sure is right.

Wow - sure is cheap. Can't see anyone with an iphone/itouch wanting one when its yet another controller that needs the device stood up, and iphone/itouch is too small for that. Only icontrolpad and gametel with clamps for phones so they are still handheld make sense, but maybe those with an ipad and no love for the tabletop icade could be interested.

You can remove iron fist from the list .
We cancelled the icade version for now.
It would be too much work and we are too busy with brotherhood of vengeance And 2 other unannounced project.

Meanwhile, this link show you a 6 month old version of bov running on the icade

Yes, that's me. I don't like sitting in a chair to play too much, so my iCade largely goes unused unfortunately. I like the iControlPad with iPad sitting on the arm of my sofa. Comfy. But the iControlPad only works with certain games due to button mapping issues.

We added full iCade support to RPG Quest - Minimae as of version 1.4 (released last week): http://itunes.apple.com/app/rpg-quest-minim/id336817715?mt=8

The 8-Bitty will be a perfect match for Minimae!

Our other game, P1XL Party, will have iCade support in the next release, which should be submitted to the app store any day now. http://itunes.apple.com/app/p1xl-party-retro-minigames!/id444404696?mt=8

I think it might be best if we moved this list to some sort of Wiki! That way anyone could edit it instead of relying on unreliable ol' me to update it! Speaking of which, I'll make sure the list is up to date today, I know there are a few things missing...
