Home Screen version of Sunset

June 12, 2009 at 8:20 pm

I just launched a refined version of Sunset, which I'm calling the Home Screen version. This version can only be played on an iPhone or iPod touch, and you have to launch the game from your Home Screen to play it. So go to the page in Mobile Safari, click the plus button on the toolbar, and choose "Add to Home Screen".

The Home Screen version of Sunset has received a few tweaks to deliver a better experience on iPhones and iPod touches. First, the browser controls are removed, and the added real estate is spent on a larger game view area. Second, the control pad now responds to touch events, rather than onclick events, which makes it much more responsive. In addition to responding to touch events, the control pad also now has pressed states for each of its buttons, which adds just a bit of an extra tactile feel to things.

Try it out!
