    I'm sure the team is grinding gears as fast as humanly possible to get it out. Maybe it will be a little sooner. Let's hope so! ;)

    Why even wait till April to get s:s&s ep. I already have it on my iPhone. :) ha ha! There's a simple solution to getting it onto touch/iPhone devices. PM me if you want to know how. I'm pretty sure this will either get deleted, removed or even banned. But just buy the iPad version and jailbreak your device and it's easy as pie.

    Ok seriously...what is this game all about? I keep reading about spoilers and all kinds of crap. What's the big deal and why are people complaining about spoilers?

    You are, like, the perfect candidate for S&S. Go drop $4.99 on it if you have an iPad, and play it knowing nothing about it.

    As for spoilers, some of us aren't far enough in the game to know about "XYZ" and don't want to know until we discover it ourselves. We just don't want the experience ruined for ourselves and the impending iPhone group, who will be playing it soon-ish. ;)

    Hmm, i think it's exploration/ combat mixed with a retro style and a well-developed soundscape. It looks as though thorough exploration of the environments is a major factor, so that seems to be why spoiler avoidance is so critical to those of us who are waiting for the iphone version.

    im kinda with you on this. All I know is that I am so eager waiting for this to drop on the iphone. I may try to find a way to get it to work on jailbroken iphones. It seems altering .plists and permissions could work...not sure though.

    I am also somewhat disappointed by the game. It looks nice, the music is great, but it is not a very good game, much less a good adventure. Throughout the whole game, I could never get engaged with it. The only reason that kept me playing is to see if something great would happen later, or if I could feel the great experience every review was talking about. But it didn't happen. I finished the game thinking "it's that it?". In fact, I think one of the reasons of so many spoiler warnings is because there is not much story or things to do in the game, so revealing some is spoiling a lot.

    Does this mean you shouldn't buy the game. No, go ahead, buy it, and maybe you'll have a good time. It is enjoyable at moments, and it feels... nice. But it's not the great game most reviews tell you.

    Also, on the positive side, it is quite different from anything you played before. And because of the success S&S it surely is enjoying, they have set a new standard for iPad games.

    I feel that the only way to enjoy this game is to let yourself go into the music. Once you let the music dictate your emotions, the trigon sequences, concert, and ending become extraordinarily epic. If you try and keep your distance, you won't become engrossed.

    Could you two give spoiler warning label to your posts, I don't want to know what people thinks about the game yet, and I don't want to know what you think of the ending. Know many people feel with me here. Hope you understand. Thx.

    Also dissapointed

    Hi, I won't spoil anything because I haven't even reached the end yet.

    I also feel like some people here that there is too much hype around this game and I think it is more marketing than gaming. I do appreciate the effort to bring something new to the iPad, but sadly the game itself is all that matters in the end. And the game was not fun for me, or attractive (I liked the ambience, though). I was excited with the idea, but I didn't enjoy playing it. It doesn't mean it is bad, just like a movie or a meal, it is a matter of subjective opinion.

    Buy it, play it, make your own opinion. Maybe it is your thing. It is just not mine.

    The game itself is amazing. At least in my experience so far. You just have to take in the envirment and look at the game from an artists standpoint. I sat there much like another TA member and watched as the pixel rabbits and deer ran away as I grew closer to them. The atmosphere the game creates is one of a calm and surrealistic forest. For me this is what captured and keeps me playing. I love sitting in front of my iphone watching the S:S&S EP world go by. It's beautiful.

    I dunno about you, but most people only consider plot points to be spoilers, not what people think of them. Especially if it's merely to say "I think the ending is really epic".
