Classic Graal for iPhone
 

...is on the App Store :p

It's actually quite nice, movement is smooth and it almost feels like Graal

I have to say, nice work, Stefan, and anyone else who worked on it.

Should use a custom heart interface, there's no need for those hearts to be so large :)

PKing iPhone users on PC Client is lulz.

I am going to be monitoring how this progresses very closely. I have been strongly considering an iPhone, or just an iPod touch lately. This sort of sparks a little more interest.

Holy crap!

I'm gonna download it ASAP. I need to renew my iTunes account and get the new software version z_z

I don't understand why it was released when there is like nothing to do on there.

Its...very Graaly. :3

Movement is actually pretty nice, pking is funny. :P

The paying for outfits thing kinda bummed me out, but they gotta make money some how I suppose.
I'm actually glad their releasing it. Its a pretty neat game for on the iphone, and hopefully it gets people more interested in Graal...

(Maybe with the revenue they recieve from the iphone games, they could cut down the price of subscriptions on the computer graal....well, a man can dream anyways...)

GBC Graal flash backs.. I predict same outcome.

It would be cooler if it was for the Gameboy color.

Looks better than PC Graal already.

Makes me wish Classic was still here. :(

It's probably faster for some people on iPhone :D
The "heart"s are the same size as on PC

the big crisis came

That's my point. PC windows undoubtfully have a much larger resolution, thus the larger icons fit. However, given iPhone's, and how much is already taken up by the button controls, I think it'd probably look more fitting with smaller icons(which state.png already has).

The PC resolution was not much larger when Graal has been started, 800x600 was standard :D

Downloaded, I will add it to my iPod in few days I am really interested. My computer lags like a female dog so this should be a lot better.

Ill try it out, seems interesting. Will any other servers be released anytime soon?

It just sends me back to login =(

I still think it'd look better :P though I guess the resistance comes from the need to script the GUI clientside.

This is actually pretty nice looking. I don't have an iPhone, myself. Wouldn't mind "borrowing" my brother's iPhone though and trying out the app.

Bought it and played with it ^^
The movement seems somehow to be a lot smoother on my itouch than it is on my pc, though it equals out with having to use the directional buttons on the corner of the screen.

As for improvements, players I found whom were actually new to graal and playing on their Iphone/pod didnt know what to do. Everyone of course had fun killing each other, but upon looking around, its actually a rather boring and empty world :P Maybe add options to make the arrow buttons invisible, a small button on the menu that would show you a list of emotions you can press and use ( I found myself thinking to myself "Crtl-d! Drtl-h!" but had no way of using them ;_; )

Also, had to upgrade my ipod for this. Was enjoying the 2.xx FW with it being jailbroken. The 3.xx fw's are a little more buggy, so I hadn't upgraded before. I'm willing to guess that a lot of people are still using the 2.xx FW and that they wont bother with the app with the required firmware :o

Ditto, except I dont know anyone who has an iphone, lol

To expand on Aeko's idea of the d-pad, you should perhaps have a version that is outline only... an outline would define the button existence while not being invasive at all. After all, you only need to play for 5 seconds to figure out where the d-pad is there, and then you just need to know where they are.

It would be nice to see some directions for the players who have no idea what they're doing? Atleast some signs to guide them.

I snuck on before it got shut down for PCs.

Pretty cool. Movement is nice, bomb spamming kind of lagged me though.

I'm assuming CJ is going to expand on this? If so, perhaps a map or playerlist so I can figure out who is online and where I need to go to kill them. And as Streety said, what's there to do? I noticed some of the players were not regular PC-Graalians, and didn't really know what was up.

For emotes, just type them out and your character will do them.

Wow, nice work, I have not capable of playing yet. I am setting up payment issues as far as app's go. But I am looking forward to this!

Wow. I wanna hear those 15 songs.

Just tried it out!! Its a very good start in my opinion, keep it up.

Add quests and more things to do on classic like killing baddies, maybe spar etc.

A capable spar would be a great addition, imo!

Ya, they should have at least had a nice spar system for players to occupy themselves with.

Will be interesting if there'll be any interferences from Nintendo

I see absolutely no reason they would interfere.

I think a spar system would actually probably be one of the best things they could do for it.

Maybe could get a basic couple of events, have an event bot run them or something. Just races, and stuff. Mini-game styled, so that it can be picked up and set down.

Well there have been problems in the past...and now Graal getting into the "public" most likely with an iPhone project...

There are no legal justifications, though. None of the graphics are stolen... or even close to the Zelda franchise, and you can't copyright simple hack-and-slash gameplay.

omg I'm going to download it asap :P

You should port it to Nintendo DS too.

I could somewhat play Graal with this cool remote control application for my DS but it was slow.

dling it now :P I know what im going to be doing today

Would it be possible to sorta "Merge" the "real Graal"
I think that it would be awesome if, in the near future, I would be able for example: Play Graal with my account on my iphone when I am ex: on the bus, then when I come home I could log onto Graal on my PC. See where I am going?

It would probably boost up Graal's playercount! Iphone could be the way to save Graal considering we aren't a game with flashy flashy graphics.

I just had a look on it. In general it's nice. The movement is easy to operate, but I think it would be easier to handle if the free space in the middle of the movement were used as "use button" for weapons etc. similar to the space on the PC keyboard.

I hope there will be an instruction added for new users in general.
At present new players don't know what to do. They don't know (e.g.):

What are these green things (gelats) under the bushes?
What happens to the gelats, where are they when you try to earn them and where can I find the gelats?
Can I store the game?
Where can I see if someone else is on the game?

That are my first experiences I made right now when I was on.

Edit: I agree dusty, the hearts are oversized!
