Hey all!

Just a heads up - Faster Than Light (FTL) is on sale on the iOS App Store for £2.99!

I have racked up many hours on this on the PC - Can't wait to try it out on the iPad

Thanks,
Marky

I saw this and got my hopes up for an Android version. There isn't one though

Ah my apologies

I didn't put iOS in the title because I assumed there would be an Android version!

I'll try and get one of the Dons to edit the title

Back to FTL - Seriously, it's good stuff, and at £2.99 it's an absolute bargain!

Can see this when googling but can't see it on the app store on my phone

I'm afraid it's tablet only - Don't think a phone screen is big enough

I've always thought it was probably due to the piracy on Android.
Would love to have this on the Pixel C, one of my favourite PC games despite being rubbish at it!

Apparently, the team really hated working on the iOS version, and so couldn't bare to do an Android version.

How well does it work on tablet? I've always thought it should be quite well suited, as it's effectively a turn-based game, though wonder about multi-select when moving crew about and a few other potential issues. I've put about 70 hours into the PC version (and I game only about 10 hours per month) - wonderful game.

(I don't have an iPad anyway, and won't be getting one, so won't ever test it out)

I've only had one run through on the iPad at the moment - It takes some getting used to after knowing the PC version well, but after a few fights it's not an issue at all.

Damn this game is hard, even on easy I've still not beaten the boss despite about 10 attempts.

It feels like being in Star Trek playing it on my iPad! Shields up, lock weapons!

Shamefully it took me 26 attempts before beating the boss for the first time

It’s a tough game with a bit of a learning curve

It's easily worth it. I have it on iOS and through Steam. Many, many, many hours of fun to be had. £10 is still a bargain for what you get, imo.

I agree, I've had hours of fun on it

I did manage to get it at £2.99 on iOS when it was on sale though

Keep an eye out, it does go down to that price every so often on iOS.
