Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP Micro (iPhone, iPod Touch) -- $0.99, down from $2.99
Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) -- $1.99, down from $4.99

I'm an Android phone, and I direly wish this was for my phone. :P Go get it, people!

This game is fantastic. Everyone go buy and play it now.

@DBuckEye

I bought it when it was on sale last time but have yet to play it. It's just an adventure game, right?

@DBuckEye

It's in the adventure game genre, but I feel like calling it "just an adventure game" doesn't really do it justice.

@whylekat
Pretty much, yeah, but a good one. It's tongue-in-cheek and artsy at the same time, and the soundtrack really enhances the whole experience. Heck, maybe the soundtrack MAKES the experience. I don't think the game would be as fun on mute. I'm about halfway through it, and it's a little hard to keep my interest up, given that I have a bunch of other, less chillaxative games begging for my attention...but it is very nicely made. Looks good, sounds great, and employs some (afaik) totally innovative mechanics.

Cool thanks fellas. I'm still working my way through Hector: Badge of Carnage but this just got bumped to next in line of my portable gaming. BTTF adventure games is taking priority on my consoles.

are EP and EP Micro the same, other than ipad compatibility?

@mikeymilkshake

As far as I can tell, yes. The micro version cuts out iPad compatability but costs less. On the other hand, the iPad version works fine on smaller devices, which is a nice switch from those games that have wholly-segregated iPhone and iPad versions.

@mikeymilkshake
EP Micro probably has a smaller disk footprint--oh scratch that. Just checked. Both are 135 megabytes. I realize it's mostly audio, but that's still funny.

It's totally worth whatever full price was, so this should be a no-brainer.

If you already do NOT own this game, you're stupid. Go buy it. Now. Seriously. Or else.

No really, why are you still reading this?

I waited for a long time for it to be $1 and I just could wait anymore and got it like 3 days ago!! >:(

Oh well, it's a SUPERB game and they deserve the extra $2.

Patience HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

...for some reason my comment didn't post. So I'll just say buy it, like everyone else already has. It really makes you consider taking iOS gaming more seriously (or hope that the industry does).

@Chibi Chaingun Dude/Dudette go to toucharcade and roll through the E3 coverage, industry is coming onboard in droves, though mostly not names you might be familiar with and frankly the longer they wait the less possible it will be for them to join in.

Got the game for a buck and the soundtrack free! w00t! :D

@Accessgranted

I guess that shows what you think the soundtrack is worth... :\

@Chibi Chaingun

IMO all video game soundtracks should be free if you bought the game.

@Accessgranted

Yeah, I can agree with that... but when the game is only 99 cents....

@Accessgranted

...weak.

Seem to have some problems downloading it. =( i can't pause the download nor resume it, and i can't remove the file from the phone. But it's not downloaded. -.-

Dammit, why was I so hasty to click the blue letters? Ah well, all added up, I still paid less than the album's usual price, and I've got the Micro version if I need it...for whatever reason. Prolly smaller than the regular one, so there would be that. (Wonder what the size difference is between the universal World of Goo and the iPhone version...).

@TJF588 DAMMIT! Same for Faerie Solitaire. That's it, from now on, I'll be DAMN SURE to see if the "HD" versions are Universal Apps.

@TJF588 For those interested, the S&S games are the same size, and the HD Faerie Solitaire is about an MB larger.

@TJF588 ...and on sale: $0.99 for either version until the 7th. (Okay, hopefully I'm done with these chain posts. At least Eternal Legacy isn't universal, though just watch it change into one soon enough, just as World of Goo HD did.)

I would recommend buying this for iPad, not just the iPhone version. Its not even built for retina, and it just looks a bit washed out. On iPad however, its the most beautiful game i've played this year.

This is a fantastic game, I highly recommend it to everyone who owns an iOS device!

I don't understand why this game recieves so much praise. I recently played it for around 5-10 minutes and all I seemed to do was follow a man through the woods. I'll probably go back to it eventually.

@saturn118 Minor spoliers ,but the KEEP GOING! The games "evolves" into much more the further you progress and please don't spoil it for yourself by looking at guides or anything just trust all the people squealing about this game.

In some ways it's what Zelda would feel like if it was much more emotionally mature.

@saturn118 woman*

How do i make sure i don't pay full price for the LP? D= It just says the full price, how do i pick it?

@Arkane
When I follow the links given from http://www.swordandsworcery.com/news, I see the sale prices in the iTunes store. Maybe this is a region-dependent sale? Are you in the US?

I'm in EU, but i got the game for the discounted price.. so i take ti the LP isn't? =(

Oh... it was a Digital download, i tired to gte it off Itunes. xD

Downloading this right now. I don't really play these types of games, but it's $.99, so I'll give it a shot. Kinda makes me want to impulse buy SF4 now lol.

Damn first generation iPod touch!

Alright, I'm convinced!

So where are we supposed to set the price for the soundtrack? I see $7.99 and that's it...
