The music is nice though.. add that if you can. I hope this isn't too late in the development cycle. I posted some thoughts on multiplayer setup in your previous blog that you may find useful. Also, another suggestion for multiplayer (and single player) - allow for symmetrical maps. This way, lucky planet placement doesn't factor into the win.

It currently sounds like you made the noise with your mouth, and it's my pet peeve :) But in all seriousness, Galcon is by far the best game on my iPhone. I bought a couple of those "big name" games - Monkey Ball, Crash Bandicoot etc, and they've got nothing on Galcon.

" I second that. So psyched to give the multiplayer a whirl, but I'm dreading the lag issues that may arise when networking. I haven't seen an iPhone game yet that had smooth, realtime multiplayer gameplay. “Multiplayer was the only thing missing to make iPhone Galcon the most awesome game in this universe! ” I second that.

Multiplayer was the only thing missing to make iPhone Galcon the most awesome game in this universe! Made quite a few people buy either the iphone version or the pc version from just showing them a single game on my phone :P For networking, there's also the new BLIP by Jens Alfke. Looks very promising but haven't used it much yet. Linky: http://projects.mooseyard.com/projects/show/1 . I'll have to check out enet as well :) (I like networking...) Holy crap thank you!

The multitouch is neat and pretty functional. Go you. Now that I’ve gone out and indulged my consumerism by buying one of these iPhone thingers, I must say that Galcon really works well on it.
