Hello.

Most of you won't know me; its been many years since I've posted here. But here I am, still alive, well, and, well, here :o.

Good to see this place is still prospering. I see a few familiar names about the place. Oh, and happy birthday Spadge... forgot to send you an Email (as usual). I see Sel is still around too! Given the number of webmasters I saw Team17 go through, its good to see you've stuck around.

I'm also interested to see Deadcode, and the WA patch prospering; even after so many years. Ah what history that game had, with patches and otherwise!

Anyways, I must be off again. Hello to all who remember me. You can still find me on GameSurge IRC - #Worms as usual, as well as other networking help channels etc. Though I must admit, I don't expect to be there for much longer... my time working with that community is coming to a close.

Hello and farewell wormy warriors. You might *just* see me on a WA server one day soon.

Oh!
You post your yearly post quite soon this year. :)

:eek:

The Nutter returns (albeit briefly...)

Same time next year? ;)

Thanks for posting, Nutter. It's good to hear from you. :)

I do see you on MSN now and again. Maybe I'll say hi some time.

LOoK AT ME I'M ABUSING THE CAPS FILTER!!!!!111 ROFFLECAAAAKES

Hi.

Sup.

.

Good to see this place is still prospering.It is? Erm, I mean, it is!

Nice to see you again Nutter. It's like this forum is inside a time warp or something :p

Ah, there you are ;). Welcome back, albeit briefly.

I guess the community is prospering really. It just seems more and more of a case of "Worms Community 2 is dead, long live Worms Community 3...". Still, I guess that's just the circle of life, or whatever you call it.

You guys don't understand. See, there's this temporal loop, and it's causing him to relive an entire year over and over again in the span of a single day...

Just kidding.

Welcome back!/Good bye!

Welcome back again (not that you'll come back to read this post though:p).

Hello! :D

Goodbye! :(

Next week: Trippyshoe drops by for a chat and Worm Mad leaves the forum until episode 432. Only on Open Discussion Oddities!

Ahoy, Nutter.
I used to work with Nutter, incidentally. Sortof.

Ben! You're online! Could you go on MSN? I need to discuss something with you.

I say we should sticky this thread to surprise him for next year :cool: .

It's Nutter!
Why, hello.
and...
Why, goodbye.

I say we should sticky this thread to surprise him for next year :cool: .
Indeed!
Very good idea. :D

Well I'm not stickying it yet. Remind me in eleven months.

(That's the last we'll hear about that, then.)

Hey Nutter.

/me sets a cronjob to PM Andrew in 11 months :D.

You think I'll have any PM space left by then?

Wow, so I'm not the only one doing long-term lurking. Damn this gave me a nostalgia feeling.

For those who don't know, Nutter was the top poster(and it wasn't spam posts) on this board eons ago.

*lurk mode re-engaged*

You think I'll have any PM space left by then?
Have you ever heard of something called the "Delete PM" function?

And, if your PM's are too precious to delete, just use the "Save PM As..." function to save the lot to your HD

Who said anything about using PMs. We have many ways of sending you messages.

(not that you'll come back to read this post though:p).

Actually, I subscribed myself to the thread this time (and it seems to have worked, unlike last time I subscribed myself to a thread) - though I only got one Email so returned thinking I'd only had one reply...

Such was not the case as I see.

Sarge! Thomasp! I never see you guys on the network (IRC) anymore :(... 'tis part of the reason I returned to see if you two were still around.

NZKiwi hasn't posted here in a long time I'd assume? I know she up and left for the south island, and said she wouldn't be online for some time, but its been quite a long some time. Curious to know how she's gotten on...

And me? Yearly posting? I don't remember when I last posted here... Basically I was bored and ended up trolling through my old favourites, trying to delete ones that didn't go anywhere anymore. A little surprised this forum still exists; albeit without the post counts these days. I remember many a threat from Team17 in regards to closing the forums :)

And yeah, I can see that its now a "new" Worms community. Is there any decent fan sites out there alive and well, worthy of rivalling (what was) The Allotment (those of you who remember her) or Wormtopia? Or is this "the" community's central hub now? :)

I don't think NZKiwi has posted in years.
At least, not that I know of.

They died, and basically IRC got boring... There wasn't really any reason to stay on GS, considering a couple of other chans I visited moved to other networks, which promptly got DDoS'd, along with GS.

Hi Nutter,

I’ve done well since Ive moved to the South Island (Dunedin). Took me a few months to get a job here and I enjoy the work Im doing. You wouldn’t want to loose your brakes in your car down here as the hills are pretty steep…. (and loads of black-ice in winter too).

Just before I go, I thought I mentioned that I’ll be going to America (for a holiday) in late August this year for 4 weeks……

Friggin' wow, this is a nostalgia trip and a half now, isn't it? :p

Now all we need is for BatteryChicken to pop in and say hi.

Hey look I drew some Worms!! :D

:p :p

omg how u drew them so wel

aaaagrhafgahfhgahrfgaHOW DO I SHOT WEB

Sarge! Thomasp! I never see you guys on the network (IRC) anymore :(... 'tis part of the reason I returned to see if you two were still around.

I tried using other IRC clients for multi-servers and they're all ass, and I always forget to open multiple copies of Bersirc.

Got any suggestions for a good multi-server client? If not I'll just use Bersirc on Gamesurge, say hello and talk and the like.

Nice to see you're still around though. : )

Chatzilla works on multiple servers...
So does mIRC...

But I can't be bothered to open either of them anymore, so I havn't been on IRC in ages...

Bersirc supports multiple servers. Nearly all clients do. But they're utter ASS at it.

I need a client that supports multiple performs for each server, seperate nicknames, etc. etc.

Now all we need is for BatteryChicken to pop in and say hi.
Does batteryChicken even have OD access, though?

Anyway, yes, the community has become rather centralised on the Team 17 Forums. Dream 17 is the only notable T17 website I can think of that was made recently. Although there has been a fair bit of spreading in the direction of deviantArt and SheezyArt: many of us have an account on one of those now.

Wow, so many old members returning :eek:

I know with mIRC you can log onto a server multiple times. Just open a new server window and join it again.

But, as far as I know, there's no way to automate it when you run (because there's only one perform on connect AFAIK, so as you're connecting multiple times you cannot have it in there).

mIRC has multiple Perform on Connect's. Which is how you connect to a new server group only once -- setup mIRC to connect to one server automatically, then in the perform specific to that network, set it to create connections to all the other networks.

Or write a script :).

Hi Nutter……

Why hello! :o

You are alive and well (and have internet) I see. One of many people probably trolling the forums in the background without saying anything eh? ;) But you're never on MSN (unless you changed accounts). Something happening there or?

Glad to see you're alive and well in any case. You'll love America by the way - I went there for 4 weeks and had a ball!

Friggin' wow, this is a nostalgia trip and a half now, isn't it? :p

Haha, I should break out the nostalgia folder I have and post some of the clips, images, and funny's I've kept over the years from the likes of Cheech and his goon fan club. Not to mention the flash Worms series, comic series, and many other things :).

Mein Gott, tis Nutter.

I can't even remember if you were around when I joined or not now, Either way, hello!

www.dream17.co.uk ? ;)
Hooray! Recognition!

You're a bit before my time, as I think you left right before I joined. But either way, it is great to see the old members back around here.

Don't forget about macobsession.
He did come back a month or so ago.
Though there have been a lot of returns lately, hasn't there? Saffya and Wormies, for two.
I actually wasn't around back when Nutter or Kiwi were actually here, but I've read around in the belly of the archives, so I know SOME of the heritage.
[EDIT]Hm, as I was typing, there were two posts AND Betong decided to go back to the old concrete donkey avatar.
I'm a slow one.

Mein Gott, tis Nutter.

I can't even remember if you were around when I joined or not now, Either way, hello!

Aaah, Cheech. What a 'rad' guy. Stupidworms was pure genius.

God, cheech! I'd almost forgotten about him. And wasn't I a richer person for it?

Aaah, Cheech. What a 'rad' guyAt least when he trolled, he trolled with style :p.

He hated me enough. Goodness only knows what he'd make of Gardy Looo.

Haha, I got on pretty well with him. And yeah, his trolling had style and lots of humour in, as long as it didn't actually offend you.

Is this you i played with, Nutter?
It's from the oldest replays I still had backupped from my old computer.

I also regularly see someone on WN1 called 'Nutter [sic!], or NuTTeR.

The mention of Cheech reminds me of what a freakin' idiot I used to be. :p

Either way, I still don't like trolls, regardless of how stylishly you do it.

You are alive and well (and have internet) I see. One of many people probably trolling the forums in the background without saying anything eh? ;)

Well to be honest, last time I visited these forums was sometime in 2003 (before I left Auckland? I cant remember) and I started coming back 2 weeks ago (2 and a half years later) browsing and come across this thread:- http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=19231 Im actually surprised some people remembered me.


But you're never on MSN (unless you changed accounts). Something happening there or?

Yeah its true I never use MSN anymore. Its a long time since Ive used it, so its most likely either deleted or disabled now. Do you have ICQ still? I may try and see if my ICQ account still works when I have time off work and I'm not busy.


Glad to see you're alive and well in any case. You'll love America by the way - I went there for 4 weeks and had a ball!

Heh, strangely enough I remember you going to America.... That must be nearly 4/5 years ago approx?

Out of meaningless curiosity, what part of America?

Cheech... I don't like him, he made fun of me (I think it was him) on the Cl2k Forums when I was still a big n00b on WormNet. Bast.

The mention of Cheech reminds me of what a freakin' idiot I used to be. :p

Either way, I still don't like trolls, regardless of how stylishly you do it.I'm not saying I liked him, I'm just saying he was good at what he did.

Which was getting people to not like him.

Out of meaningless curiosity, what part of America?

Me? Or Kiwi? (Or both?)

I went through Canada - Vancouver, up through the rockies to Banff and Jasper, then down to Calgary. Then I flew to New York City for 4 days, Orlando for 8, San Francisico for 2. And yeah, it was Feb-Mar 2001, so pre Sep 11... I managed to get up on top of the Twin-Towers.. :|

Do you have ICQ still? I may try and see if my ICQ account still works when I have time off work and I'm not busy.

Still use it, though only at home. Don't worry too much though; just glad to see you're still around :).

Is this you i played with, Nutter?
It's from the oldest replays I still had backupped from my old computer.

I'm not familiar with the file format, and so I daresay it wasn't me (but can't use the file to tell you).
If it was, I'd have Bub (from Bubble Bobble) as my gravestone, and worms named after the team from Worms United - Dodger, Spadge, Smidge, Fluffy etc..

Aaah, Cheech. What a 'rad' guy. Stupidworms was pure genius.

He was funny at times, I'll give him that. I don't like trolls either, and sometimes he was just a plain idiot. But it gave me a laugh or two with some of the stuff he came up with.

Canada - Vancouver
Damn, you passed pretty close by to where I live. Very close, in fact. (see attachment)

If it was, I'd have Bub (from Bubble Bobble) as my gravestone

Both is good. Incidentally, after passing really near Munkee, you ended up fairly close to me. NYC isn't that far north of where I live.

Both is good.

I'm heading towards Tennessee.

At least T17 don't seem to want to delete our accounts then.
Or maybe we are just lucky eh?

Will PM you (and anyone else who wants it) my contact information. Should also be at the bottom of my threads? Maybe? Or does that hide it?

Anyways, off to workskies. Bhye!

And why would they want to do that?

Maybe whoever looks after the forum now is a hyperactive **** whose idea of organisation is pruning every account or thread that hasn't been used for thirty days? Seemingly because if it's out of sight it's out of mind, and he can't comprehend too many of the aforementioned factors because he's an imbacele with the mental capacity of a flourescent light bulb?

Ah the joys of retail.

They've purged old/unused accounts before. Free's up nicknames for new people moving in I suppose.

I briefly misread your location line as "In a 'Top Perverts' box."

Also, hi. :)

And bye. :-/

I have always respected Nutter/Sniper! Nutter, #worms on GameSurge is back. Come visit, if you want. There's also a new WA developer around, called CyberShadow. Also, Sel's gone and there doesn't seem to be a replacement.

I never used to respect Dale at all. But then one day I learned of his existence and that all changed.

CL2K has gone eh?

FB? I don't think I was around for that one.

I still have to say though, The Allotment stole my heart. But then I'm biased aren't I? :)

That and (the original) www.worms2.com.

The very old W2W forum still exists, though plagued by the occasional spammer for some reason.

Nutter. :)

I hope you pick a good day for the GameSurge visit. #worms has been more or less the same 20 or so people for the past few months, with outsiders only coming in occasionally, but the never ending fads and little wars among us are entertaining enough when we aren't all busy with other stuff. That does happen sometimes, although the links in the topic might just distract you until we get back to our seats in case you pick a bad moment.

The worms2d.info wiki especially could benefit from a good avalanche of nostalgia... </hint>

Nutter, also check out this:

I might have a look at the wiki too - if I get a chance. Apparently the staff script I wrote for GameSurge doesn't work on mIRC 6.20+, so I have half been roped in to fixing that too. (I was a tad surprised people are still heavily using it, given it hasnt been touched in well over 18 months)

honestly, nothing

although there was this guy named "Plasma" who fell in e-love with this girl named "Kelster". but alas, geography separated them, as plasma lived in the uk and kelster in the us. so, like any well-adjusted 16-year-old, plasma saved up two grand to go and visit her. i guess after meeting irl they realized they didn't have as much in common as they thought, and they broke up soon after

an amusing story all around

I guess you gotta credit Plas for his conviction. Only that, though. :p

Hi, Nutter :)

Bye, Nutter :(

Hey there Nutter, hope life's been treating you well. :)

plasma lived in the ukWell, Ireland.

But Plasma's a jerk anyway, so...

thanks for correcting me on the details. i still find it amusing though

also wow, british columbia? for some reason i always thought kelster was on the east coast. no wonder airfare was so expensive

Nah, I don't really think you're real.

Who said anything about real?

I've always maintained I'm a figment of your unimaginative imagination.

Plasma is just another figment of many... He didn't formerly go by the nickname CheechLizzard by any chance?

And can someone fix the W2W forum? I think some spammer broke it.

That troll has been on a vendetta against T17 and Spadge for quite some time.
Most of his threads are getting locked and his post are ridiculed in general.

ehehe, that's probably the guy - and he's been on a vendetta for a lot longer than you could possibly know.

I have some of his antics (flash, jpg, etc) stored somewhere in my Worms archives from way back - some quite humerous. Probably inappropriate to post here though.

Not that kind of inappropriate. They are somewhat anti-Team17 stuff.

Having said that, all I can seem to find is "Worms World Party Active Fresh" - a very short flash video. That and Punisher's 'sigworm' that was created for The Allotments IRC scripts, though I'm not sure that was Cheech's doing. Oh and a few grabs of the words "Worms Armageddon" extracted from WWP.exe. Other misc stuff. etc.

Perhaps not as funny as I remembered. Or perhaps I'm just growing old.

Vader, hullo.

You'd be the bloke that made the Scotts vs Soul flash video I seem to still have.

and possibly started on the Worms vs Pokemon.

Or was it the other way around? I know one was finished, the other was a work in progress....

Yeah, that's me.

Check out my site - it has all the Flash cartoons I did for The Allotment.

Cheech is cool.w h a t

He is, he just dislikes Team17. He's a genuinely funny and clever guy and whilst I can understand why some fanboys might be on auto-dismiss with him, I can see beyond that.

Nobody I know can mimic Chris Morris's humour quite like Cheech can.

Sure, he's a troll and a dick but he's funny, that's what counts on the internet.

I mean, I've not read the manual on internet etiquette, but I'm pretty sure that's frowned upon.

Heh, I didn't know of that particular escapade but yes, I do know the guy very well. He is/was in CoW and I have spent lots of time chatting to him on msn over the last 5 or 6 years.

Anyway, I didn't say he was consistently clever. HE certainly can be when he wants to but like everyone I guess he's prone to pron dropping to the gutter.

Dale, do you have my Worms comics? The ones with the trimming knife and soldering iron accidents? And the rock or something trapping the worm, and his mate cutting him loose with an axe. The ones that were surprisingly voted best comics in the Awards. Or had you left the site by then? I can't find them anywhere here.

And does anyone know where Otorp and Octavius went?

W2W probably still belongs to Jon Skeet. Perhaps he should shut it down now, eh? In the meantime, #Worms on GameSurge is always open, as I'm sure you know.

I might. My computer is currently broken (using my partners laptop at the moment) so I only have backups, and thats on a portable disk zipped up in my work bag all the way over there *points*.

I've only really been here frequently since December when I lost my job.

Of late there's been a lot of talk about W2:A, naturally, but aside from that it's pretty quiet here these days. There are some good threads at the moment, though. Melon's Mystery Dungeon, for one and the "Yes there will be a PC release of Worms 2: Armageddon" thread kept me entertained for a while.

honestly, nothing

although there was this guy named "Plasma" who fell in e-love with this girl named "Kelster". but alas, geography separated them, as plasma lived in ireland and kelster in canada. so, like any well-adjusted 17-year-old, plasma saved up two grand to go and visit her. i guess after meeting irl they realized they didn't have as much in common as they thought, and they broke up soon after

an amusing story all around

Wat.

...the "Yes there will be a PC release of Worms 2: Armageddon" thread

Wat.

You're kidding right? I know I'm not following Team17 etc. anymore (3D doesn't work for me), but "Worms 2 Armageddon" sounds like "lets go back to the old 2D days, mesh Worms 2 and Worms Armageddon together and see what we can come up with".

I could Google search, but I'm not quite sober.

And what's this about Facebook? lol. Are we trying to become "hip", or have I left the interweb and come back as an old fogie? Personally I would think this place (or the T17 web site) would be the place to announce such things first and formost, rather than Facebook/MySpace/Twitter/et al.

Maybe I should return to my box for another year.

Dear God....

lol

After watching this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW09vWQQpuA) I now seem to understand.

Question: (and this is a serious/honest one - no sarcasm intended) Has anything actually been added to the gameplay? longevity? etc?

All I seem to see is rehashed backgrounds and weapons with a new single player set of missings, upgraded (fire/explosion) graphics, and not a lot else. I assume this is why it's not being released to the PC?

Wat.

Team17 released Worms for Xbox Live Arcade on 2007. Worms 2: Armageddon is the sequel to this game, available currently on XBLA only, although Team 17 have stated that it will also come out on PC later this year. The title is a homage to W:A given it is its 10th anniversary. It's nowhere near being a mesh of W2 and W:A.

We suspect the PC version will have a different title, but nothing has been confirmed.

Ah yes, and it's 2d indeed. Worms 4 was the last 3d title, since then they've released 6 2d titles, two for handhelds, two for XBLA, one for the wii(almost forgot that one) and one for PSN.

It is being released for PC/Mac hopefully by the end of summer. Initial release was on XBLA.


Edit:

Damn I'm slow :p

As for your edited question, it seems that 10 years of progress has only brought us prettier graphics and hats at the expense of customization and depth. The game does have a few new weapons (some interesting new additions like the Magnet, Lighting Strike and Buffalo of Lies), but they did cut several weapons from W:A.

well there's not much to do with the worms series at this point other than upgrade graphics and add new weapons and game modes. the formula in W:A was perfect.

I've been playing Crazy Planets on Facebook, which is similar to Worms in some respects but the main thing I'd like to see Team17 steal from that game is the round levels.

Each level is a planet you can walk around. It takes about 30 seconds to walk around the entire planet, so they're not very big. It's cool shooting bazookas round the planet twice before they hit the target. I wouldn't want a Worms game dedicated purely to planet style levels but as an option it would be cool.

Interesting. Any idea whether it works in multiplayer?

If you remember the name, let me know.

If you remember the name, let me know.yeah, it works in multiplayer, I'll go see if I can find the video I watched...

edit: waha! found it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYqWI87Qhzo

The difference in Crazy Planets is that the planet/camera rotates so that you're always on the top but you can move the camera left/right. The camera zooms out so you can see yourself on the planet and rotates so you can see further away.

This does look interesting, though.

edit: Now that I've messed about with it I'm less interested. I may not have found the optimum setting yet but it still feels like it wouldn't work properly in a game. I look forward to finding out, though :)

I remember playing a game a long time ago that was like that, well maybe more like gunbound actually. But unlike the game you are talking about this game had many small planets, all with gravity. I can't remember the name of it which really bugs me. Could only be played 2 too 4 people, but that might have just been in the shareware version.

It had some interesting weapons, some that dug through the planets and exploded on the other side, or walking bombs that crawled over holes made by weapons.

Gah, now I really want to find it!

Well hey, don't forget that Andrew made one as well: http://www.apathysketchpad.com/codefactory/code.php?id=grav05

edit: Now that I've messed about with it I'm less interested. I may not have found the optimum setting yet but it still feels like it wouldn't work properly in a game. I look forward to finding out, though :)It is pretty fun once you find the optimum setting and don't expect what's gonna happen. I find it best just to use a regular map since then you can't predict how the gravity's gonna react relative to the map, so everything can get crazy insane and it's hilarious.

I might eventually post the fun fun fun adventures me, Mad and Paul had with that once.

the formula in W:A was perfect.

I'd swap W:A with Worms2, but that's just me :)

W2:A for PC will (solely) be distributed via Steam.
And seeing that W2:A only cost 800 MS points on XBLA, I'd suspect that it will be somewhere in the 10-15€ range on Steam too, which is very nice.

If a Mac release is true, I'm wondering how it will get distributed there.
Does Apple have some digital distribution system? Does iTunes work for games too?
Otherwise I'd think that they'd make a retail hybrid disk release.

I'd swap W:A with Worms2, but that's just me :)well I happen to agree, but armageddon did a much better job with the UI and overall accessibility so it caught on better.

And yet, people criticise WWP apparently only out of spite, considering the flexibility it brought.

And yet, people criticise WWP apparently only out of spite, considering the flexibility it brought.yea, but the improvement over W:A wasn't all that staggering while W2 to W:A was a VERY large improvement notable by looking at pretty much any aspect of either game.

My point was that people seem to ignore WWP...

My point was that people seem to ignore WWP...my point was that they ignore it because it's effectively the same as W:A and everyone already owned and loved W:A when WWP was released. W:A had the ranking system so the community was established better in W:A even after the removal of said ranks.

My point was that people seem to ignore WWP...

Well to be fair at the time I had WWP and didn't have W:A - and yet I still ignore WWP now. It's hard not to, what with W:A having resizable custom maps and the Rubberworms mod and stuff.

Then again, I haven't played W:A in a while either. There's too many other games now.

It's silly to ignore WWP just because W:A was better than W:2. WWP has a lot of cool features.

I just WISH it had a decent random WormPot picker like a slot machine, where you pull the handle, you get some random choices and are forced to start the game with them :-)

I hope, when WWP can be used to join WormNET 1, it works like the beta with older versions, where you will play WWP if others are using it but W:A if they are not.

WWP isn't going to be able to be used to join WormNET1. It's a pack that installs W:A in a separate location. You can then start W:A or WWP with the same CD. But you can't use WWP and W:A together in the same game.

Ah, I thought I read somewhere that was something they were working on.

I just WISH it had a decent random WormPot picker like a slot machine, where you pull the handle, you get some random choices
Well, they implemented exactly that feature in W3D, a slot machine with 3 reels, buttons to spin them separately and a large handle to spin them randomly.
and are forced to start the game with them
That would actually be a nice optional feature!
Suggest it for WA!

AFAIR, the v4.0 patch (or even earlier) will enable to play WA with a WWP CD, because most of the streaming data (music, maps, missions) are the same.

You will however not be able to play WWP with a WA CD.
For that, the patch would need to contain all the extra trainings, missions and multiplayer missions from WA and probably some more.

IIRC, a feature to import them is planned or has been discussed, also for importing W2 stuff.

My point was that people seem to ignore WWP...

I was thinking about this a couple of days ago. The only reason I got WWP was to play with CoW who had mostly made the switch to XP and couldn't play W:A. They'd have carried on with W:A if they'd not gone to XP.

AFAIR, the v4.0 patch (or even earlier)
Much earlier. In fact, I think the ETA was the next beta, though I might be wrong about that (it certainly was at the beginning, it might have changed).

Anyone per chance paid the few $$ to buy it?

Any good?

The ratings seem to be mixed. I must say I'm tempted - wanting to see if it can topple the #1 app (which has been the incumbant for some months now), Flight Control.

coworker bought it last week and I watched her play the tutorial of it. seemed pretty good for what I saw. lots of weapons and gameplay options for such a small game. I was impressed.

can't give more than a basic review of it, but it seemed to have everything one could ask for in a portable worms game.

Yup.

Any good?

For a "version 1.0" release I'd say its pretty good. I've certainly had a few hours fun playing it, and only really stopped because I had to go and graduate :p The controls do need a little bit of improvement but once you learn how to get around some of the glitches, its fine.

The ratings seem to be mixed. I must say I'm tempted - wanting to see if it can topple the #1 app (which has been the incumbant for some months now), Flight Control.

It was #1 on the UK iTunes store the day after release, and is in fact still the #1 app. It certainly seems to get some solid reviews on the UK app store.

Given its so cheap I'd definitely buy it - heck, I did :p
