It’s been a while since we last heard about Rex Rocket coming to iOS. The game released on Steam last August, but the iOS version was kind of quiet since the last we really heard of it was back in April. Well, the folks at Castle Pixel have been working on it while they also develop their next game Blossom Tales, which FDG is publishing for desktop and mobile, and word is spreading that the iOS version has been submitted to Apple. It’s specifically going to be for iPad, which makes sense as this was a game originally built for a gamepad. And the HUD only covers up part of the bottom of the floor in a screen from January:
This will be an interesting game to see on iOS because the desktop version is regularly described with terms like “punishing" and “brutal," and when they made the game slightly easier, some folks were mad. This will be really interesting to play with touch controls, and I’m definitely very accepting of them, but this could test the limits of my tolerance for them. But hey, rad PC games making it to mobile is something I’ll always accept, even if they’re not necessarily ideal in terms of controls. Let’s hope for gamepad support.
