Kind of bummed this is not about the game Carmageddon for iOS.

I understand what you mean. But we also put the Back button in the same exact place. And Menus load pretty much instantly, and have no animations. So while it might be 3 taps to back out of the system view to the main game, it takes less than a second to do so.

One thing to consider. We made it so nearly the entire game fits on one screen at a time. No scrolling lists. The exception to this is the News items, and the Mission log.

Everything else allows you to read all the information at a glance. When dealing with a 480X320 screen you just have to make some sacrifices.

Yes the iPad has a bigger screen and we could of combined some screens, but we wanted to keep the experience consistent. This will be extremely important in future updates to Warpgate. (We've got one in review now and another on the way).

We were inspired by EVE, Elite and other space games.

Only 2 of the apps are Christmas/Holiday themed.

We didn't get the two jets confused.

We wanted to update the game to show a passage of time with a more modern jet.

When we looked back on this, to do it all over again, we would of stuck with a jet from the movie.

If you play the game, it takes place years after the movie with Maverick and Iceman as instructors. (If you watch the movie, the top Pilot in the Top Gun program is invited back to be an instructor).

You can see the game in action in this Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZdodY0OJY

Hey Mike,

No worries, drop us an email and we'll get you copies of our stuff to check out! It'll be like your own private Macworld!

Touch controls are absolutely available. You can make a 2nd window and output to the Device with all sorts of touch options.

You'll have to ask Apple why they bothered to make a semi photorealistic image of the iPhone... or all their products.

Digital Droo also did the game soundtracks for Active Lancer and WingNuts 2. As well as audio work on many other games.
