T.T
The App Store has really screwed up people's ability to judge how much a game is worth. Recall when Trism was first released it was $9.99, and people said it was an amazing price?
Now people whine when a developer has the audacity to select price tier 2 (US$1.99) on iTunes Connect.
I'd say this is worth at least $4.99, but I've found many ports to iOS have crappy controls. Has anyone bought this? How are the controls? I'd rather not pay, regardless of price, until I'm reassured they're good.
I have nothing against paying 10, or even 40 bucks for a good mobile app. but i do have a gripe against 2 for a game that has crappy controls, outdated graphics, and brings nothing new. It also was an extremely easy port, as the dosbox wrapper has been in circulation for a while now.
In short, I want my $2!!!
Well, for $1,99 and all your expertise - you could have known before
Siri
Gesture recognition via the camera? There have been demo apps that can track head movement via the iphone's camera.
Use of the volume buttons?
Power / home buttons? (possible to repurpose on a JB device)
Remote logging in from another computer via one of the many VNC apps in iTunes?
Manipulation of the magnetic field around the iphone? (ie waving a magnet near it - that's how the compass app works)
Patterns of vibrations near the iphone? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=iphone+seismometer
I can think of more but I'll stop there.
Finally! I've been waiting for this app since 2009 (when I got my first ios device).
$2? It's nothing really, most people spend more than $2 buying some silly in app purchase.
I wish this had bluetooth keyboard support, that would make it the ultimate port. Also, not a fan of the 'wide screen' aspect on the ipad version. Please make it full screen (or near full screen) and 4:3!

This is a terrible port. The controls are sluggish and it ignores the mute switch, which scared the heck out of my wife last night in bed when I turned on iPad to give it a try. Oops.
I am more disappointed that macrumors ran an article on it. I would never bought but I trusted macrumors. They need to put a header that the article is really and advertisement fur a scam, like X-ray glasses.

Thank you very much for the great feedback!
We have been working extremely hard making sure this port becomes as good as it can get.

I'm big fan of Duke Nukem, and i have the Duke Nukem 3D but the controllers, bleh are horrible to play. I'm going to wait until this goes free.
Old doesn't = Classic
Just because its old doesn't make it a classic , i don't count the moldy sandwich in the back of the fridge at work as a "Classic"
A better term would be "retro" game, not "classic" game, A Classic from this era and style would be Commander Keen
