    Great to stay informed :) it's a shame that apple is putting iPhone apps on hold while the iPad games just glide through. I'm waiting for this and Opera Mini to get released.
    *Crosses fingers and toes*

    Ps. Can't wait to play as UK/ England and own Canada's ass :p

    if my memory is correct, a way to know if it is on its way to the app store (aka is approved but not in yet) is that if you search for the app in the itunes store, it will come up in the search suggestion box even though it wont show up....

    Not on Hockey nations, when I'm playing ;)

    There's a perfect reason for online multiplayer- so we can compete against each other's countries. :O imagine that plus a leaderboard, a leaderboard which stated which country had the most wins. You could only play as your own country (using the current location thing in your iPhone/ iPod) and the more games won the more points your country gets. Sure, some people would be better than others but that doesn't spoil anything. I'm so competetive, I can't believe I just said that!

    Anyone liking that idea? I'd certainly pay £5 for it in dlc...

    Edit: The leaderboards would be global. 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and 1 for a loss. Usually it would be 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss, but if you get a point for losing it would stop people disconnecting when they're losing. Also it would give the less skilled people a reason to keep playing for their country.

    Edit 2: Unlimited matches per user. After a month the scores get reset, or when a country reaches 10,000 points. Even when the scores are reset It's still accessable to see who won the previous months tournaments.

    You should probably switch the month to April 2010 because tomorrow is April, hope to see the game soon though I'm totally gonna get it, by the way, will there be names for the hockey players?

  17. Hi all,

    I plan to do a new video at some point - can't guarantee one in the next few days as I'm travelling but I'll see what I can do.

    In the meantime here's a couple of screens describing the controls. Please note that the line change feature didn't make it into the initial release build but it will be in the first update :)
