Really a lot of the reason I’ve stuck with iOS for a while is the multiplayer games. This is what got me into this in the first place, it’s something I got really excited about for a while, it’s so perfect for them but there are very few and they don’t do well. I think a lot of people just don’t realise that they’re carrying around multiplayer consoles everywhere they go? Culture.

Mighty Vision: why am i making games for ios

Glitch Tank remains one of my favourite iPad games. It is indeed a shame there aren’t more multiplayer games like it, and those that do exist aren’t rewarded in the market place.
