Fantastic game. If you don't already own this, grab it now (or wait until it's paid again...it's worth it).

Fluid controls, and beautiful graphics. It has a really special and mysterious atmosphere. It's definitely a steal for free. It's worth it for the normal price, so for free, don't even hesitate and download it, I highly recommend this game, it's fantastic. Or wait until the price goes up, like awp69 said. one.sixty.four Well-Known Member Jan 14, 2013 1,282 0 0 minnesota #5 one.sixty.four, May 17, 2013 yippie! i almost bought it 2 weeks ago when it was on sale for 99c, but now I can get it for free! Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #6 Exact-Psience, May 17, 2013 One of the best physics puzzle/platformer hybrid I've played this year. Highly recommended. I also hope the drop to free isnt because of weak sales. The devs deserve credit for this gem.

TheFrost Well-Known Member Nov 18, 2010 5,772 0 0 #9 TheFrost, May 18, 2013 A more reasonable price by the AppStore standards in my opinion. 5$ is a bit too much, and the same goes for coin doublers (I know I know, off topic...). sink_or_swim Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2012 3,504 5 38 Germany #10 sink_or_swim, May 18, 2013 This looks great, thanks for the heads-up.

Cool art design and soundtrack, excellent gameplay. Love the tilt controls with two occasional (!) touch buttons. All controls work perfect. Very remarkable software for a first version!

Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #17 Greyskull, May 18, 2013 I could very well be wrong, but IIRC another physics-based game with a similar style was released shortly after this one, maybe a week or two later. I could be mis-remembering things, but if not, you can't help but wonder if that cannibalized sales. Holdup, Badlands...might be a different style of game, but wasn't badlands released like a week later? TheFrost Well-Known Member Nov 18, 2010 5,772 0 0 #18 TheFrost, May 18, 2013 Badland released a week later on iOS (maybe, I cant remember), but NightSky was originally released in 2011 as a WiiWare title. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #19 Greyskull, May 18, 2013 I meant on ios. If you only look at screenshots, both have that dark vibe going on. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #20 nightc1, May 19, 2013 I think that is right. There are so many of these World of Goo (or Star Sky) looking games that they all kind of blend together. Oh hey is your pm box full?
