Indie publisher tinyBuild Games has said for a while that their violent party-murder game Party Hard would be coming to mobile. But, the actual existence of a mobile version of Party Hard has been something I’ve been unable to verify. I’ve prodded tinyBuild employees at shows, and a mobile build was nowhere to be seen, though promises that it would come to mobile were still made. Did tinyBuild perhaps bite off a bit more than they could chew in trying to make this one work on mobile? Either a sign of hope or despair was when Party Hard showed up on Google Play, but only for Nvidia devices. Would iOS players ever get a touchscreen-friendly version of Party Hard? Well, it looks like the answer is yes, as tinyBuild has announced a beta test program for what they’re calling Party Hard Go:
What is this? Party Hard? ON MOBILE?!?! #PartyHardGo is true. Beta sign-ups now open – https://t.co/JTMstog8BY pic.twitter.com/EeO78VM5iP

Yes, while they’re not showing off any actual mobile footage yet, they’re taking signups for the game. With a reworked UI and control scheme (featuring zooming), your time to kill loud partygoers is apparently soon. So, hop on over to the forum thread and sign up at the link in the thread. You win this round, optimists. Next up, we figure out how 10tons brings Neon Chrome to mobile, because I got around to playing that on PC, and well…that’ll be an interesting touchscreen adaptation.
And as always, a great article from Mr. Musgrave! 👍
Interesting and fascinating background, and it's clear Nintendo has a large slice of the Pokémon assets. The other big question, perhaps for another story, is, what's the split specifically on Pokémon GO? I have to think that Niantic gets a substantial slice, seeing as how PoGo is, in many ways, a re-theme of Niantic's Ingress, both the codebase (for a game using a game map overlaid on a real map and landmarks), and all that worldwide location/landmark data collected over three years from millions of Ingress players.
The slice is 1/3.
Impressive and detailed article! So many interesting facts regarding the production of the Pokemon series.
Great article! I enjoyed it, even the pizza analogy.
Great post,makes clear to a lot of people
what Nintendo's role is in this hole Pokemon Go thing.
thank you for the thorough explanation. very helpful!
Excellent article!
So what you're telling me is Pokemon's Facebook status is "in a relationship with (at least) three other entities," but since people frown on that sort of thing it's just set it to "it's complicated."
Nobody it's free!
I thought Pokemon was created by the Japanese government as a way to convert American children into kamikaze pilots and soldiers to finish the attack on Pearl Harbor once and for all.
Their plans for an American takeover have nearly been thwarted several time by prying American citizens. However, each time they were distracted after being told how large their American manhood is compared to the average Japanese man.
I'm pretty sure that's right....
uh...
Lol, South Park reference. Look up chimpokemon... 😜
I'm just saying whoever mods this page seems to have curious double-standards in regards to referential material...
ThanKS Shaun, i've been in serious need of this info for the current nerd battles being waged across my little town.
Based on what I read on other articles Niantic is 8% owned by Alphabet(mother company of Google), and gets the larger slice compared to Nintendo.
Thanks so much for this. I had no idea, and no idea I was interested, but you have a way of transmitting not only information but also interest in the topics you write about.
