We really liked Dark Nebula – Episode One ($0.99) when it was released back in 2009, so it wasn’t much of a surprise that we also loved Dark Nebula – Episode Two ($1.99) when it was released almost a year later.
Both games are incredibly clever tilt-based ball roller style games that feel totally natural on the platform. Designed by the lead designer of Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, both entries in the series have super high production values and totally succeed at taking what is one of the oldest genres of games on the App Store and turning them into something that feels both new and fresh.
If you found yourself wondering where in the world an iPad version of Episode Two was, or if it was ever going to get iPhone 5 support, here you go. The studio just released Dark Nebula HD – Episode Two ($2.99) which has higher resolution art, widescreen support, and all that. If this is the first you’ve heard of the series, I’d say it isn’t really necessary to play the first one before jumping into the second. However, they’re both so good that you might as well.
