			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Miguel has been working on this for quite a while already, and we&#8217;re glad to announce we&#8217;re almost done with it. <strong><a href="http://www.ricochetinfinity.com/index.php?PAGE=infinity_iPhone">Ricochet Infinity for iPhone and iPod touch</a></strong> is not an straight port from the brick busting PC classic. The user interface has been completely re-imagined, there&#8217;s a new tilt mechanic that replaces the &#8216;recall&#8217; feature on the PC and it&#8217;s got 100 new levels specifically made for the iPhone.</p>
<div align="center">
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-342" title="Ricochet Infinity iPhone" src="http://www.lemonteam.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ri1.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="301" /><br/><br/><br />

</div>
<p>The project is commissioned by our friends at <a href="http://www.reflexive-inc.com/">Reflexive</a>, who recently published these interesting facts about the <a href="http://www.ricochetinfinity.com/">PC/Mac version</a> in the official <a href="http://www.ricochetinfinity.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&amp;t=19885">forums</a> :</p>
<ul>
<li>In the past 30 days the web server&#8217;s catalog of user made levels has been accessed by 32,059 unique installations of Ricochet Infinity.</li>
<li>In the past 30 days there have been 807,877 levelset downloads.</li>
<li>There were 32,059 people accessing the catalog in that time so those people each downloaded an average of 25.2 levelsets per month.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ricochet Infinity will hit the App Store in the coming weeks, stay tunned for the official trailer!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-324" title="ipad" src="http://www.lemonteam.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ipad.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="276" /></p>
<p>The initial hype about the <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad" target="_blank">iPad</a> seems to be fading away, but we remain truly excited about this new little device and can&#8217;t wait to get our hands on one.</p>
<p>The powerful hardware specs and the high-resolution screen is surely going to drive a new generation of games with new user interfaces and much more detailed graphics overall. And when compared to the iPhone games market, the greater value and increased development costs of iPad games should translate into higher game prices overall too.</p>
<p>In addition to original games, some direct, 1-to-1 ports of casual games will also become very popular among iPad users. We won&#8217;t be surprised if many time-management or hidden-object object prove to be more fun —and easier— to play on the 9.7&#8243; touch screen than on a PC or a Mac.</p>
<p>Finally, although Apple has not said how many units they expect to shift in 2010, we guess that the iPad market probably won&#8217;t reach a critical mass until the second half of 2011. That said, we are currently assessing several potential iPad projects and we should probably be able to ship something on this platform before summer.</p>

Coincidentally, it is the first iPhone project we started working on, back in 2008&#8242;s summer.</p>
<p>The game has about two thirds of the levels found on the original title and keeps all of its features, unlockable paper planes included. Everything, from positioning and size of dialogs to level balancing, has been revised and adapted for the touch screen, resulting on a top of the line port that has been received <a href="http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?threadid=6012">very positively</a> <a href="http://apfelblog.ch/iphone/airport-mania-fuer-das-iphone-ist-da">so far</a>. Special kudos go to Reflexive&#8217;s Russell Carroll, for his support and personal involvement on this project.</p>
