This game is amazing on my iPad 2. It's Beautifully organic and a visual treat. I find Glowfish to have some small similarities to Ozone and Osmos, yet...It's very much it's own game.

For 2.99 the game is a great value. I really like it. Much like Ant Raid on iPad, this was one of those iOS games that really shines alongside the iOS platform.

Highly recommended, for the iPod touch and iPhone owners who missed the iPad version (now's your chance)

Love the ipad version, so naturally picked this up, very disappointed, the game runs really slow and jerky on my iPhone 4 (and yes I did a reboot after install before anyone asks) poor frame rate

Also the game is retina but the icon is not.

Is everyone having the lag problems like Uncle Limey?

I have tried rebooting a couple of times with no luck, still runs slow.... I do have ios5 beta on my phone which might be causing it, but I have no way to tell without seeing it on ios4.

Although I also have ios5 on my iPad 2 and the iPad version of glow fish runs sweet on that

Amazing game. The graphics and living environment are out of this world.

I'd love to try it, but concerned about the issues with lag. The fact that icon is not retina shows lack of attention to detail as well. I'll keep it on my wish list for now till more impressions come through.

Since the non-HD version is only a buck and my interest for this title is only mild, I decided to make the jump for it. Thankfully, it is fully compatible with RetinaPad, so there is no loss of resolution for (jailbroken) iPad users.

As of yet I'm satisfied with my purchase. Production values are very good. Surprisingly decent considering that Mumbo Jumbo are known more for well-produced but heavily derivative titles. I still have trouble believing that this title came out of the same house that made "Cake Mania" and "Luxor".

How the hell is this game not talked about more... It is PHENOMENAL. Osmos or Ozone don't hold a candle to this. It's beautiful, slick, smooth, fun, immersive and atmospheric on a level that I rarely ever see.

Ok, couldn't resist and bought it.

The icon is quite ugly i.e. non-retina on 4th gen device. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
The rest of the graphics are quite amazing. In fact it can easily stand next to Osmos in terms of graphics. A lot of the scenery is organic and moving. Kudos to the artist/s - 11 out of 10.
Some of the gameplay elements also remind me of Osmos. For example you can destroy bigger enemies the more "followers" you have.
I have only passed 4 levels so far but have already fallen in love with this game. There is a little lag but not that bad.
At this stage I would recommend it with the hope that icon and lag get fixed.
