I don't get why you need an iPhone app for this. Wouldn't an iPhone-optimized site be enough? You'll also draw in more players, and it'd be easy to add a desktop frontend.
1. itunes store distribution
2. easy way to charge iphone users
3. it looks and plays way better than a iphone web app could
I haven't downloaded this, because I've got an iPod touch and my college has no wireless. Is there anything that I could do WITHOUT wireless, or would I pretty much be screwed when I go back in a few days?
the game continues while you are offline so if you go away you might have been beat up a few times but you will be all recharged and ready to go.
