Back at GDC, we got all up in GRL Games’ latest card game, Rocket Patrol. It’s coming out this evening, and as we described it before, the game is a turn-based strategy game that’s just dripping with retro sci-fi charm. Like most card games, it’s easier to just get an idea of what to do by watching someone else play it:
Of course GRL Games has also uploaded their own trailer, if you’re interested in a little more “official" tease of the game. Definitely check this one out when it comes out tonight, it’s even free which just serves to sweeten the deal even further- Especially when it’s from a developer who has put out such great titles in the past.

To be alerted when the game is available, open this story in the TouchArcade App (Free) and add it to your watch list. A little after 11:00 PM tonight you’ll get a push alert with the download link.
Hmm appshopper says it came out December 30th 2012,
There were a few accidental releases of what I guess was a place holder app.
Looks like fun, don't know why they couldn't make it for the iPhone with just using your finger tips and not two fingers per hand.
I've had Wheeler's Treasure continuously installed on one device or another (first installed on my old iPod Touch when it went free for a day during the original "Appvent" event" since...2008 or 2009...I'm always mixing those years up for some reason.
Honestly I'm too cheap to spend this much on a game with consumable IAP, yes that's what a coin doubler is, without some serious thought. I guess I'll wait and see how this one pans out
Oh damn, this has IAP -.- that suucks. Not sure if I i pick it up now. Premium game, with IAP is not so nice.
Hey you should check out the developers intentions before lumping them in with the evil psychology behind IAP games. [http://twolivesleft.com/Cra...]
do you know of its just coin doubler IAP, or possible to buy coins to?
coin x2, i can live with, ability to buy coins i hate.
might not make sense, but i feel that games that gives you the ability to buy coins,gems e.t.c are grindorama or 10 dollar iap.
You can see the conversation with the dev in the game forum. It's just the doubler from what I understand.
There is no ability to buy coins. Coin doubler is a permanent (I.e. non-consumable upgrade). The maximum amount you can spend on this game is $10.
And what do you do with the coins you bought with the coin doubler? Consume them, i.e.. consumable
That is not what consumable refers to. A consumable IAP Is one you can buy over and over again. The coin doubler in Crabitron can only be purchased once. It is only possible to spend $5, $8 or $10 on the game *in total*. If the game had consumable IAP there would be no limit on the total amount of money you could put into the game.
You are correct sir
OMG its here. YAY!
Nice! Can't wait to play it later
Damn this looks so innovative and awesome. I just want to cry.
