Does anyone know if there is going to be an iphone or ipod touch version of worms?

I think that the appstore is a really easy way to distribute worms (like xbox marketplace or playstation store )

and look at this

CUPERTINO, California—July 14, 2008—AppleŽ today announced that iPhone™ and iPodŽ touch users have already downloaded more than 10 million applications from its groundbreaking new App Store since its launch late last week. Developers have created a wide array of innovative mobile applications ranging from games to location-based social networking to medical applications to enterprise productivity tools. Users can wirelessly download applications directly onto their iPhone or iPod touch* and start using them immediately. More than 800 native applications are now available on the App Store, with more than 200 offered for free and more than 90 percent priced at less than $10.

“The App Store is a grand slam, with a staggering 10 million applications downloaded in just three days,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Developers have created some extraordinary applications, and the App Store can wirelessly deliver them to every iPhone and iPod touch user instantly.”

Many of these amazing new applications take advantage of iPhone’s large display, Multi-Touch™ user interface, fast hardware-accelerated 3D graphics, built-in accelerometer and location-based technology to bring far more powerful applications to the mobile arena than ever before.

It would be cool. But I don't really see it happening.

we really don't need another crappy portable worms. there are plenty of those already in existence. about 4 that I can think of and that is enough. I hate seeing my favourite game being dummied down.

Just buy a white DS and a copy of WOW2 and tell everyone you have a really small Macbook prototype.

I don't think it would be hard to control. It could have a power bar like in Gunbound and you could drag the power with your finger. Worm movement would be controlled by clicking on the screen on the direction you want it to walk to, and there could be a small button in the screen for jumping. Another button to expand the weapon selection menu, and that's all you really need.

Well Worms 2008 a space oddity don't look so bad on Iphone :) and the movement can be also controlled by the gyroscope that is much more easier and natural for Iphone users...

Maybe there is a bright future for Worms 2008 .... on Iphone ... we have a working demo ready...

“I think [the SDK news] is a fantastic and positive move opening up the iPhone to developers, as it is a potentially tremendous device for casual games.


Oh well, I didn't have much hope.

We'll certainly be looking at ways we can bring something like our own Worms titles to the device.

that does not sound like they have any definite plans.
