Hello, friends. Have you been enjoying SteamWorld Heist [$6.99] as much as I have" If so, I've got a special treat for you today. Although the game's developer, Image & Form, is obviously quite busy in the wake of the iOS release of their excellent cowbots-in-space strategy game, I managed to grab their sheriff, Brjann Sigurgeirsson, for a little chat. We talk about the game itself, how it came to iOS, and future plans for the developer on the platform. Many thanks to Brjann for making time for this interview.
TouchArcade (TA): As is standard procedure at TouchArcade, please let our readers know who you are and what your favorite pizza toppings are.
Brjann Sigurgeirsson (BS): Hi, I'm Brjann Sigurgeirsson, an unlikely combination of elite chess player, rock singer and self-proclaimed good guy. I run Image & Form, the guys and girls behind the topical SteamWorld Heist that's just released on iOS. I prefer an oily mix of cured ham, pesto and rocket salad. TA: It's been a while since your last game release on iOS. What made you decide to port SteamWorld Heist to the platform"
BS: Yes, I can't believe it's been five years since we released Anthill [$1.99] for iOS! It's still a game that makes me almost miss flight connections and that I cling to when everyone's being mean. An amazing game! Buy it! NOW!
We decided very early to have an iOS version of SteamWorld Heist - we realized that the game wouldn't care if it's played with a controller or via touch input....
