Aquaria for iPad / Re: Maps + customization and ''screen saver mode''

Ok, I see the idea was discused in the past; I hope someday it will be implemented.

About screensaver just to have a button to start the mode: the camera just movint trough the levels, or randomly following some fish or even following Naija. Plus option to enable background music and effects.

As I said, these are just a few ideas I've got. If someone find them useful for the release, great. And if not, that's ok.

Thanks you very much!

Mmm... I see.

I agree with you that >90% of iPad users don't have jailbreak, specially since iOS 5 with no unthethered jailbreak available. But I see there is a lot of games in the App Store with option to download new levels for free or by paying an amount. This would force to have anything like a level repository where users can send their work, then an approval process, and then submit to the in-purchase system in the game. But my first idea was the same as when I add a video o music file to any player (like GPlayer, you have the folder open in iTunes to add your own media with no limits if you are posting porn -for example- or not).

The modding I agree there is much legal complication because access to the resource files of the game surelly will not be allowed even using the trick on iTunes.

And the screensaver... I think it is a must have 

Thanks you very much for that quick reply!

Hi all,

First of all congratulations for the port of you awesome game! I enjoyed it in my PC a few years ago (I purchased it trough and indie pack) and now I just purchased it for my iPad 1 (no problem at all after installation, it runs fine fine).

But wait... there is no map editor, we can't access anymore to the files to apply modding and I feel to have lost a little piece of  fun  For the maps, it would be very nice to have the chance to add them to an accessible map folder trough iTunes.

For the modding...
-Hi, my name's Toni and I'm a jailbreaker.
-Hiiiii Toniiiii!!
Well, if you have jailbreak you know you can access to the full filesystem but instead of folders with the graphic and the text files we can only find a huge DAT file with (I suppose) all the good stuff boxed inside. So we are unable to apply anything new to the game as we can do in the PC version. Then, ¿would be possible to release the game in a ''classic'' folders & files mode? Even more, make some of these folders (sprites, config, etc) accessible trough iTunes to avoid the dark side of the jailbreaking?

And finally: screen saver mode needed!! Aquaria is an EPIC game with EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL graphics and AWESOME music. I would like an option to set up the game as an screen saver to see the huge world passing like a movie instead of see any boring picture collection from my camera roll

And well, that's all.
Thanks you very much for your time and for your game.
And if this is a nonsense collection, please ignore it!!!
