Aquaria coming to iPad

Aquaria, the indie, aquatic take on Metroid, is one of the most beautiful indie games ever released, and judging by the competition this really is quite a feat. It has won numerous prizes, wowed thousands of gamers, impressed more than a few non-gamers, created a vibrant community around it and made PC gamers very happy indeed. Well, and that's the good news, the time has come for Aquaria to get its much deserved iPad port. Semi Secret are handling it and will be releasing the game sometime this winter. Oh, and though you could check the PC demo out, this teaser video should be teasing enough:

  4. At least you git pinched. It's what you wanted after all and Pincher here (pets bot) is top of the line. I can't see why you had to kick the poor thing. And you've broken your toe too... OOOooooph.

  5. ..okay yes, your right...I did ask to be pinched, but I didn't mean it literally..

    (rubs numbed and throbbing leg...takes off shoes to examine broken toe)

    okay I apologise to the Pincher, suppose he doesn't know how to reset a big toe bone?
