Out now for the touchtronic iPad device! Out April 2011 on iPhone/iPod.

So this just came out. It is a beautiful game. The music is amazing. It is about... well, that is sort of hard to explain. As a whole the game is a very vague, ethereal experience. Here is a blurb from the website:
Superbrothers wrote:
S:S&S EP is a 21st century interpretation of the archetypical old school videogame adventure, designed exclusively for Apple's touchtronic machinery.

It's a mix of laid-back exploration, careful investigation & mysterious musical problem-solving occasionally punctuated by hard-hitting combat encounters. S:S&S EP is an unusual genre-bending effort with an emphasis on sound, music & audiovisual style that has been positioned as 'a brave experiment in Input Output Cinema'.

I'm only two sessions in, but I have to say this shit is awesome. I can't get enough of the incredible art, hand crafted pixel by pixel by one man (Craig D. Adams). Jim Guthrie's music is a real treat.

So, fellow iPad owners (and eventually you iPhone people): Go buy this shit and talk about it with me.

If there is already a thread for this I blame not having a search function.

    Goddamn iPad what

    I guess I'll be able to play this on my phone but I'd rather play on a larger screen so I can actually see the artwork, they should bring this out for PC.

    If I was to buy an iPad it would basically be just for this game at this point. Not sure I can justify that.

    i have yet to see any reward for tweeting things. i will probably still continue to do so though because it turns out this game actually has a pretty keen sense of humor
