Great.
I hope the "iOS exclusive" Rockfish will be released for PC too eventually.

A Vita port would have been ideal, but I'll take whatever I can get! The only "must play" game I've seen from iOS and I have been thirsty since its release.
/////////////////////////// ANNOUNCING A NEW EDITION OF S:S&S EP
Ladies & gentlemen, old friends & uninitiated participants:
We are genuinely psyched to announce and/or acknowledge the existence of a new edition of S:S&S EP for the electric computer (ie: PC & Mac).
Here are the relevant bullet points:
Play this new edition at the Capy booth at PAX East in Boston in early April.
Point & click on PC via Steam 'before the next dark moon' aka 'very soon'.
This new edition will be made available for Apple computers 'before the summer solstice'.
Last spring around the vernal equinox, the original touchtronic edition of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP was made available for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad. Jim Guthrie's full-length companion record Sword & Sworcery LP: The Ballad of the Space Babies was launched alongside. Both have been warmly received by audiences & critics alike. It is our sincere hope that this new edition of the project will connect with a broad audience, people who have access to a computer and who have a fondness for musically-inclined computer-enabled stories of myth & mystery.
Note: This edition is intended to be a faithful representation of the original S:S&S EP experience. It has been minorly adapted to better suit player input via the two-button mouse, and some audiovisual elements have been subtly refined as appropriate by Capy, Jim Guthrie & Superbrothers Inc to better suit the electric computer platform.
To stay in the loop as more information becomes available you may wish to bookmark the S&S project's news feed (ie: swordandsworcery.com/news) and/or Capy's news feed www.capybaragames.com.
Should you wish to receive instantaneous micro-bulletins from Capy, Jim Guthrie & Superbrothers Inc on Twitter or if you'd prefer to be looped in via the Teletex Bulletin, an errative email broadcast from Superbrothers Inc, then please click here.
about this project:
The Sword & Sworcery project is an experimental, idiosyncratic first videogame/record from Superbrothers Inc & composer Jim Guthrie, created in collaboration with the seasoned videogame wizards at Capy in Toronto, Canada.
According to Colbert Report writer Rob Dubbin in his review of the original touchtronic edition of S:S&S EP at Kill Screen Magazine:
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is a transportive, cunningly woven adventure game that oozes confident work from every pixelated crenellation.. read full review
Capy, steamplay?
I like this game (or "experience") a lot, it's not for everyone but it's one of those that will stick with you if it clicks. Better to go with no expectations, like with most things. Great OST.
Didn't think they'd port this anywhere to be honest, I always thought their Android abhorrence stem from not wanting do deal with porting, or maybe piracy. I just noticed the answer was changed in their help page too, in the early days it was just a link to a page with a flashing red NO.

I'm not even sure I understand what they are trying to say there.
Oh God. That was literally the worst thing in a game ever.
I'm assuming they are saying that with the large variety of Android devices out there that a small team such as them can't port it to all those devices, and porting to just a few isn't worth it to them.
It'll be nice and all but the art style is all about giant chunky pixels. Retina will make the text look nicer I guess.Cool, but I'm dying for them to update the iPad version to support Retina; as that will assuredly be the definitive S&S experience.

I wonder if this port is slowing things down on that front.
It's Steamplay

What sort of game is this? Adventure game? The video from the announcement told me nothing.
Steamplay = yes.
iOS and PC version but no Android.
Fix (remove) the moon based puzzle and I'm buying this again.
Anotheryou don't HAVE to wait for the moon to change IRL. there's another way to do it.
Coincidentally, the only iOS game that still think was worth buying.GIMME
The only iOS game I've ever wanted to play.
I don't have an iOS device so I was never able to play this, which saddened me.
I'm no longer sad. Also I might pick up the vinyl edition of the soundtrack.
Thou shalt not be disappointed.

How will the PC version work since you can't exactly rotate your monitor like you can an iPad.

Dell 1280x1024 monitors with built-in rotation are set, though the rotation only works one way. People with landscape monitors are doomed! :^PObviously you'll have to turn your computer monitor on its side.

It's been long since sold out, unfortunately. A re-print for the Steam release would be very appreciated, as I've been looking for alternate means to obtain a copy for a while now.
If only PCs had a multitude of buttons for which the rotation feature could be substituted.
The vinyl soundtrack has been reprinted and is still in stock. The soundtrack is also available on cassette. Also, the current vinyl comes with a special piece of art by Pendleton Ward.

For a second I thought the op was announcing a game called Superbrothel. Seriously.
Please do this. Then get in touch with GRRM and HBO for Littlefinger's brothels DLC!We have that trademarked. It's a resource management game.
