A lot of game-changing updates are coming out this week thanks to the release of iOS 5 and its long-anticipated cloud support across devices. We want to go ahead and hit pause on the whole digital whirlwind to bring you this choice bit of information: Capybara Games has pushed out its iOS 5-centric update for Sword and Sworcery [$4.99], most notably adding in a Twitter sign-in functionality that jives with the integrated account you’ll be using in the OS update. It’s also addressed some ‘hard-to-find’ bugs and somehow tweaked and sharpened the “artwork and visual designers that have helped define” the game.
Sword and Sworcery is a ridiculously special experiential game with some of the coolest music, art and points of design we’ve seen on touch devices. It’s great and we think you should own it. If you don’t, go to a doctor because you’re broken.
What’s next? I don’t know, but I hope it has the words “cloud” and “save." Or “badger." The latter is just because I like badgers.
Since Superman games are notorious for being horrible, and these screenshots look like garbage, I don't have my hopes up.
Why so negative? I hardly see any rings or kryptonite fog in most of the screenshots.
This looks like a cellphone game from the pre-iPhone era... Poor Supes' can't catch a break.
I hope this game is half as good as Superman 64.
That's a real game.
That's like saying I hope I get kicked in one nut instead of two.
I'm a huge fan of Superman. Shame this looks terrible.

I take this as a compliment, being the artist behind The Hero - thank you!
But Traplight Games has nothing to do with this game. Whether it's "inspired by The Hero" or not remains to be seen, but re-skin it isn't. Godspeed to the Red Caped Crusader!
Is this for real, or some kind of joke? That Commander Pixman game (which I love, btw) has better graphics. I can't believe someone took a look at that and said "Yep...that looks solid. Let's sell it!"
The screenshot with Daily Planet offices makes me wonder... Very Hero-like arrows pointing at objectives. If they've ripped off Hero that much, that really makes me kinda sick. So my judgement thus far: very crappy-looking Hero-ripoff. The graphics of this one really looks like some doodles Jari might have made on his 1st birthday. :D
It looks like the Atari 2600 version with uprated graphics! I'd play that before this.. at least you can regain health from picking up Lois Lane!
ya, these graphics look way beyond bad.... i mean Bruce Timm, endless hours of cartoons, Fleicher Bros, Alex Ross... If you're feeling lazy, just get some tracing paper!
