    Sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any plans to make this Universal? I'd love to play it but I don't like cluttering my phone with games...

    You know that you can play it on iPad whether it's universal or not, right? It's not like we're talking about high-resolution graphics here.

    I'm aware, yes! Unfortunately, when you do this with most games the UI is horrendous (as it takes up WAY too big of a proportion of the screen) and the "1x" or "2x" thing in the corner just makes it feel cheap. Plus, I'd hate to buy it on iPhone and find out a separate HD one is in the works...

    Just my own personal preference I guess!

    I guess Apple should introduce a special extra-cost feature where you can run in 2x mode and hide the little "2x" icon. ;)

    Well, the UI thing was more important, but sure! Nitpick that part!

    Lovin' the internet.

    Well, I'm serious, except for the "extra-cost" part. If it would really make you happier not to see the 2x icon, I wish they had a way to hide it. The idea never occurred to me before.

    Again, the 2x thing isn't what really bugs me about it. It's the UI.

    I was only curious if this would ever be Universal... I didn't realize it was such a ridiculous question.

    Did someone just ask about iPad support? Here's a developer I wish would quit confirming that there will be iPad support... does anyone read these threads in advance anymore?

    To be honest I'm working on it ( maybe not 'right now' ) and this is definitely something that will be in the NEXT update. But can't post any specific date, new project + new work, but I'll definitely do that, sooner or later.

    There is also something special on the horizon, but can't reveal that yet ;)

    sorry guys... this, and a couple more, and I'm done asking... =oP



    Is there any chance we could get Joypad support? I'd love to be able to play this on my iPad using my iPod as a controller...

    Yes I plan to include remote controlers ( Joypad and iCade probably ) with iPad release :)

    And one more thing: I'm a one guy ;) Without much free time right now, so iPad port could be delayed unfortunately :/ But it WILL come. I promise.

    SWEET! Also great to hear about an iPad release! Gonna be great playing this in native res. instead of 2x (though it doesn't look bad by any means in 2x mode... Just gonna be nice)

    Thanks so much for the support! Can't tell you how many Devs say "I'll think about adding joypad support if I sell enough copies" - which I get... But I also don't understand why you wouldn't want to make your game as comfortable to play for all gamers as you could... As it would probably help you get more sales...

    Whatever... Thank you! Definitely appreciated.

    No problem!

    And for anyone else: Commander Pixman is now on SALE ( 50% off ) until 1st of March. Why? Eli Hodapp ( TouchArcade editor in chief ) birthday... Yeah, any reason is good!


    Anyway - just look at TA front page ;)
    Enjoy and Cheers!

    Great, more levels will come also ;) I need to reach that 150 levels count :)

    Did I say 2 new things? Well, I can easily increase that number to 3 ;) So 3 nice things will come soon!
