It’s really hard not to start craving inventory management, pixel-hunting, and adventure game logic like it’s 1996 all over again after checking out Sky Goblin‘s classic point-and-click game, The Journey Down. Set to hit iPad, iPhone, and Android “soon," it’s often described by media as a love letter to classic games like Monkey Island. It has a really unique style, though, as you’ll see in the trailer.
Sky Goblin recently started up a thread on our message board dedicated to its game, and we’ve been staring at the screens it has shared for an uncomfortable amount of time. A 2D version of this first episode of The Journey Down has been available on other platforms for a bit, so this is technically “older" material… but we’re more than happy about it finally coming our way. We’ll have more soon on the game.
oh goodness, this is fantastic news. I loved this game on PC.
This is one of those rare Game Center/Universal/Retina/iCloud (GURI?) games. So all the more reason to support the dev.
(I'd like if reviews would include that information more often.)
this is the type of game I wish had icade support
It's a twinstick shooter... There's only one joystick on the icade.
How would that work?
Yeah, I have to agree there. And the one joystick is only 8-way (4 contacts), so even it wouldn't really work. You're better off with a couple Flings, which probably are compatible, if you really feel the need for physicality.
I am really enjoying this game compared to other dual sticks eventhough all ships look pretty much the same
Great game. I highly recommend it if you are into dual stick shooters
