Edge Lite (iPhone)
Oct 8th
The full version’s back on the App Store, but costs £2.99, so I thought I’d play through the Lite before making a decision.
Oddly, I couldn’t control it. Bits that were easy last time I played were near impossible this time round. I’m not sure what’s changed, but it was a very frustrating experience and I didn’t even bother finishing the levels in the Lite version.
Won’t be buying the full version quite yet, then.
Edge Lite (iPhone)
Jul 20th
Of course, some developers can’t release their games at any price. Witness the poor sods at Mobigame, who incurred the wrath of a chap called Tim Langdell, for daring to call their game Edge – a word he has trademarked. They offered to rename their game Edgy, as soon as he received the offer he registered that as a trademark, too. At the moment, Edge has been removed from the App Store. It’s a genuinely insane situation and I hope someone writes a book about it one day.
However, the Lite version is still available and is well worth a download. The biggest tragedy of this whole thing is that Edge seems like a very good game. Not, perhaps, the all-time classic people are wanting to paint it as, but a throughly decent little puzzle game that I’d happily pay 59p for.
