Join Naija, a lonely and mysterious aquatic girl, as she explores the depths of Aquaria. As her story unravels, she’ll travel from hidden caves shrouded in darkness, to beautiful sunlit oases. Control Naija with an intuitive touch screen interface. Use her singing ability to create your own music, affect nearby creatures, move pieces of the environment and even transform Naija into different beings. Combine ingredients harvested from the environment in the “cooking system” to create tasty items. Catch a ride on a seahorse or a giant turtle. Discover new costumes, treasures and hidden secrets. Challenge the ancient gods who lurk beneath the waves. GIZMODO: "With handcrafted visuals and an ethereal soundtrack, Aquaria looks, feels and plays just like a gothic fairy-tale. And it’s not just a loving pastiche of the classic 2D games of yesteryear. Aquaria brings the genre bang up to date with a fresh concept and a unique control system." (Gaming App of the Day) POCKETGAMER: "Aquaria is absolutely gorgeous, and filled with clever ideas and smart puzzles. Both a calming splash in the sea and a frantic fight against the elements, it's an essential iPad game." (Top 10 iOS Games, November 2011) TOUCHARCADE: "a gorgeous and well-produced title with a sharp emphasis on world-building and character growth." (Best iOS Games, November 2011) EDGE MAGAZINE: "Aquaria’s gloomy caverns are a delight to explore, and, a rarity for a modern Metroidvanias, the designers don’t constantly lead the way for you." Will you journey to the land beyond the surface and brave the dark sinister waters below? Will you defeat the ancient beings of Aquaria or fall prey to them? Will you find a companion or wander the waters of Aquaria alone?

Gabrien Well-Known Member Nov 24, 2009 5,148 0 36 #12 Gabrien, Nov 2, 2011 I've not spent long enough with this yet for detailed impressions, but after a half hour or so I must say in every respect this feels like a great game. A great game period; not just a great game for the iOS. Don't know yet how it will develop and whether or not it will yet build on its potential, but the basic components are sheer quality and give every indication at this stage of amounting to more than the sum of their parts.

I played the pc demo to get a feel for the game and something about it reminds me of a metroidvania type game, which I love. Also when I was quiting out of the pc demo, it asked if I wanted to purchase the full version for $30. So if the ipad version is the same as the pc full version then we're really getting a great deal. dyscode Well-Known Member Apr 11, 2010 1,102 0 36 Living World #16 dyscode, Nov 2, 2011 Last edited: Nov 2, 2011 all I care is if the controls are excellent. Trust me, the content IS (if the kept the original content`*). IMHO it´s among the most moving plots you can find in games these days. *PS: the PC original is 225MB in size. so this should have full content with 311MB on the iPad. violentv Well-Known Member Nov 4, 2010 912 0 16 #17 violentv, Nov 2, 2011 The demo sucks up all my cpu resources!
