We've been getting a great reaction to the new icon.

Just started playing, I really love some of the presentation touches and I'm starting to get my head around the idea of NOT completing a table in one shot...

I've found a minor bug. Occasionally when you pause the game and elect to restart the level, the game decides to show the Undo menu instead. If you exit this level and try to restart, the game hangs. This is on a 4G iPod Touch running iOS 5.1.

Cheers. I've had a couple of reports but not such a clear description of how it happens. I'll get that sorted ASAP.

Is there are reason why this wasn't answered? It wasn't a comedy question. I've been waiting several years!

Sorry, I'll give Ste a nudge.

Oh and, MB is a modern classic!

OK, thanks.

Regarding MB, whatever happened to the PC version I was playing years ago? It was practically finished. Seems a big shame to let it sit there when you could be making money out of it.

Not sure what to do with it to be honest. We might go back and finish it up but there's only really Steam as a viable option on PC and you're at their mercy (if they say no, that's it). One of the attractive things about iOS is we can publish whatever we like - no concept approval system.

I say release it. I've been itching to play it since playing it way back but I just can't bring myself to buy an Apple device, no matter who's making games for them. At least give Steam a try. There are plenty of other online distributors who would distribute it if they won't. Plus, I think the PC version looks much nicer than the iOS port.

It's really a matter of how we spend our time for the best. The iOS game is by far the best version gameplay wise so the PC one would need a bit of an overhaul to bring it up to scratch - couple that with no guaranteed way to release the game on PC it just ends up not being our top priority. A lot of the ideas (trick cards, lush Victorian style visual etc.) are going to end up in a future iOS title whatever happens.

John, GOG.com recently announced they are going to be an outlet for indie producers/new games as well as the good old stuff.

Could be worth a look. I'd imagine they would have a more understanding view of smaller devs than steam.
