Normally I'd as what makes this shooter unique, but I think I already know just by looking at the pictures. Good job.

I've come to the unfortunate decision to postpone (and possibly cancel) the iOS version of Eeeger. I'm not confident that the game is going to be successful, especially given how poorly the game sold for the Mac and PC and how difficult it will be to port the control scheme to iOS. Besides - shooters in general DO NOT do well on iOS. This one in particular can get quite difficult, but it shouldn't have to be from the getgo., especially if I can't nail down a control scheme that won't cause people to throw their iPhones at the wall.

In its place I have decided to try a totally new game called Krelmac's Laboratory. It's technically the prequel to Eeeger, but it's not a shooter. It's a puzzle game. You'll see more details about it in the coming weeks.

As for the PC version of Eeeger, I've pretty much conceded that it's a vanity project. I still plan on making updates to it because quite frankly I still think it kicks ass and I'm still proud of it even though it ain't selling worth a damn. If you plan on buying it soon, don't. I may make it a free download once the new levels are implemented.

More on everything as it develops.
