      Not got any creepy man-cat pics but can give a " hell yeah " purchased as soon as i saw it, had to support this title, gotta show these devs they are on to a winner when porting games

      1. Jetjet

        Agree ! Those cats became boring ! Buy this pure gem instead !

          Yall are old

          1. MasonHurst

            Well ASCII text art has been around since the eighties ... much more elaborate versions were used on private BBS's back in the days of US Robotics modems. Damn I AM old!

          2. theundertow

            Y'all are young.

    2. Themostunclean

      If I hadn't already bought this on Vita and PS3, ID definitely pick this up. It's also about 1/3 the price.

      1. HungarianUrinalCakes

        Vita version > iOS version obviously, but I'll still probably pick this up eventually because I'm just so damn grateful for the ports. The only reason I haven't yet is because I don't have the free space on my phone to double up on a lesser version of a duplicate game.

        Still though, I'm stoked for iOS gamers to be able to enjoy this gem.

        1. FootSoldier

          Not The same? How's it better?

          1. jamesgecko

            If one doesn't have an iOS gamepad with two sticks but does have a Vita, the Vita version is the clear winner.

    3. NickyNichols

      Every single Oddworld game is a true classic, hopefully the rest will find a new home on iOS, they truly deserve to be played by as many people as possible.

    4. Anonomation

      Stuff it in the cornucopia!

    5. JMan121314

      Love this game, first time I played it, but I am already stuck on the third bounty lol

    6. worldcitizen1919

      In depth review?? Please? Pretty please?

      1. Shaun Musgrave

        Oh, worldcitizen, you know I can't say no to you when you make that face.

    7. Mayalaysa

      I heard this has gyro controls, but I'd like to be sure.

      I will probably wait for the Wii U version though, but it's so dif-fi-cult to wait. I want this so bad...aaaah

      1. Reign

        So I guess you're that one me guy who bought a Wii U lmao.

        1. Mayalaysa

          Brilliant thinking! Fantastic logic!

          Yes! I am that one of seven million who bought a Wii U!!! You got it right!!! You win the Darwin award!

        2. one.sixty.four

          The wii U is actually a great console, I have it along with the PS4. Games like Bayonetta, the wonderful 101 and all the nintendo games make it well worth the price. (P.s I accidentally liked your post trying to hit reply)

          1. qdiddy

            It started out slow, much like the 3ds, but became a console with some good games over time. It just took a while.

    8. Mister Bump

      Amazing on Vita. Can't even imagine the horror of playing with touch controls....

    9. DeadWriter

      When it comes to ports, I just wish the original Oddworld as well as Diablo would end up on iOS.

    10. Foghorn Irrascible

      Stop putting damned console FPS games on a damned touchscreen! You can apologise for them and claim "they're as easy as GTA to use" all you like, fact is GTA controls for shit on iOS, and everyone knows it.

    11. Zinho

      I purchased this yesterday, graphically it's fantastic on my iPhone 6 but I don't think it's a game suited for touchscreens, I'm struggling with the platform sections, it sucks the fun out of the game, I think it does need physical controls. Think I might just pick up the Oddworld pack from GOG and play it on my laptop instead

    12. Skyfluks

      Amazing game!

    13. rabid

      Its not strange that they are all ports, its lazy developers and carefree purchasers which make it ok just to rehash old content onto a pocket device.

    14. tinkie277

      This game is absolutely fantastic, don't hesitate! It's £4, price of a pint.
