Galcon

Galcon

Galcon is essentially real-time Risk in space, with a super-simple touch interface. I'm totally addicted.

As designers will get away from the two-thumb button-mashing model and into the multi-touch interface, we'll see some really cool new games.

Agreed, Galcon is a great example of good coding for the iPhone. I'm not seeing the replay value that you seem to be seeing. It's the same scenario map to map and level to level.

So, yes, I greatly enjoyed it, but I'm not hooked long term.

Yeah, I'd like to see it slowed down a little bit, and include more depth of play. I keep waiting for someone to do a clone of Risk or Railroad Tycoon.

I think the iPhone is a genuine possibility as a game platform. But I wonder if the economics of the platform will be agreeable to major game makers.
