    So many games this week but I hope this one is getting love. Honestly the best game this week IMO and second would be deus ex go. This is so much fun and amazing and looks beautiful to play I'm actually playing on my phone and then replaying the same level on iPad. I love this :)

    It's well deserved! The artwork, gameplay and level designs are spectacular. I have three more levels to go in Arid Seabed and continue to grow more impressed with the action-packed sleuthing needed to solve each one. This is an absolute winner!

    thanks! I think the levels in the 2nd campaign are much more interesting than the first - and the boss is very tricky...

    I've only played it for an hour but it's a very solid game. The artwork is well done and the controls are spot on.

    I just finished the 2nd boss : very fun to fight against !

    I like this game and mechanisms, puzzle are great, mostly at the end of World 2 and starting from World 3.

    Bus I'm missing extra things to do : more secret to discover, more alternative ways, something to collect in each levels, maybe missions in each levels.
    There is only 3 kind of enemies on each world, maybe the monsters from the previous worlds could be there again.

    Finally, when you finished a level, there is nothing else to do.
    Some secret chest sometimes, but nothing else.

    I hope there will be more levels with more variety :)

    I have a few ideas of what we could do for secrets and things to collect...

    Ok, I just finished the game.

    Wow ! World 3 is clearly my favorite, with so much different puzzle and traps !
    And the final boss is epic, so Zelda-like, very fun !

    I really hope there will be a World 4 soon, with another ennemy to fight, and a lot of new traps and mechanisms.
    And the secret zone are the best, I hope there will be one in each level on the next update ! :)

    You know, considering the amount of attention Leap of Fate's icon has been getting, I don't think Skyfish's icon is getting enough love. It's easily one of the best app icons of all time.

    I just beat Twilight Princess HD... I tried playing back in the day of the Wii but couldn't get into it... Just felt off for a Zelda game, IN THE BEGINNING.

    I got thru the first few temples and out of the twilight realm and boy o boy am I glad I picked up Twilight Princess again....

    Truly one of the VERY BEST Zeldas in recent memory. Took me about 54 hours to complete.

    I'm on Skyward Sword now.

    Btw, Skyfish is a very polished fantastic mobile game.

    Just rated this 5 stars here on TA. I just finished level 3 of Arid Seabed and I can confidently say Skyfish is a masterclass in level design. Everything comes together flawlessly as the levels become more complicated and intricate and the difficulty ramping is absolutely perfect, with each "world" slowly easing in more and more obstacles while testing your knowledge of how to overcome previous ones. The game is damn fun when you start off, but the more time you sink into it, the more you realize it's not just a fully functioning fun game...it's a perfect realization and implementation of ideas and concepts.

    I don't even know what to say other than the fact that Skyfish is looking it like it might be one of my favorite iOS games of all time.

    Regarding the last few posts in this thread, while I'd love to see new things added to the game, I think it's perfect as is. Honestly, the only thing missing is iCloud support, but it's fantastic to see Mgaia already considering it as it really is beneficial for those who are playing this on Apple TV alongside their iOS devices.

    @metalcasket Thanks so much - I and the dev team very much appreciate that!

    Has anyone experienced an issue of not being able to move the character around on level 2 on an iPad Air?
    I've seen a few emails pop up and we're trying to figure out what's going on.
    If you have, let me know so I can send you a test build.

    You're more than welcome, buddy. :)

    I just finished off the game and I have to say...the final battle with Skyfish was truly breathtaking. The nature of the battle, coupled with the animations (especially Skyfish's bad breath plasma attack thing w/ super intimating eyes) just took me back to the years I wouldn't ever put down a SNES/Mega Drive controller.

    People around here know me. They know I simply buy games...I don't play them. I honestly could not put down Skyfish. Every time I'd fire it up to play a single level, I'd have to stop myself from playing more and more. That final stretch was just supposed to be me playing till 3-7 so I'd have the last 7 levels and the boss fight to play later on. WELP! :)

    Buy this game people. It's an old game's soul in modern clothing. Incredible stuff.

    Any way of knowing whether one has collected the various treasures or are they unmissable?

    It will show on the world map if a chest was opened already. As far as new levels I'll talk to Mgaia and see what they want to do.
