Finally the moment we all have been waiting for has come! Neuroshima Hex for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad will soon be available in the Apple’s App Store!
That’s right, you can now stop pinching yourself. This is not a dream and this information is 100% true. One of the most recognizable Polish games will soon be available for all of the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users to download from the Apple’s App Store.
The game is almost in the ‘all features ready stage’, we’re still working on some minor glitches and gathering feedback from the users who have seen the game and shared their feelings about it with us.
Our main goal is to create a game that requires none or very little learning from the user, so we want the user interface to be as intuitive, as clear and as ‘iPhonish’ as it may ever get. Make no mistake – this is not an easy task and we have already had to change the UI few times by now, but we’re getting closer and closer to achieving the main goal of our project.
Zoomed in battle
We’re fully aware of the fact that most of the time there’s nobody around to play the game with you. When you’re on a bus, in the subway or just want to kill some time at work you won’t probably be asking people ‘Hey, would you like to play a fast Neuroshima Hex game with me?‘, right? That’s why we’re working hard on adding an AI (artificial intelligence) player that’s always there to play with you. There will be 3 different skill levels available for the AI, so it will be quite easy to win with it at the lowest level, but at the highest it will give you a really hard time.
Battle between four players.
As you may have noticed already – we’re working on this project in cooperation with Portal Publishing and we wanted to let them share some feelings about it with you. We’ve invited Ignacy Trzewiczek from Portal Publishing to write few words about his impressions on our blog, just to introduce a ‘someone not involved in the technical details’ point of view.
So stay tuned, visit the website and be prepared for more and more info about this amazing game coming soon!
What about Android??
What about native, 1024×768 iPad version? :>

Sounds awesome, and I agree with mikolajl :p Looking forward to an Android port
You guys are my heroes. This is one of my favorite little tactical games, but I don’t get to play it often enough… now… along with Carcassonne, I will get more than my fill of NH!
can’t wait to play it. looks good. keep up the good work.
First of all – thanks for the comments. We really appreciate this.
@Paweł: Native iPad version will be prepared after the iPhone release.
@mikolajl, Guido: We’re not saying ‘No’, but ‘Not now’. After versions for iPhone and iPad we will think about Android.
Fantastic!
I will be giving you American dollars for this. Maybe twice.
This is absolutely GREAT news!! I will definitely buy your app and continue to support board game designers who bring their games over to the iPhone/iPad!! =)
Thanks again and I look forward to playing Neuroshima Hex on the iPhone!! =)

Excellent news. Now that ios4 has cleared enough space for another 1900 apps, I expect one of the first to be added will be Neuroshima Hex.

Very good #polish #boardgame Neuroshima soon on #iphone http://www.neuroshimahex.com/11/nh-for-iphone-comming-soon/ [...]
Ok ,that’s a great news….but why not a simple PC mac /windows version too ? i’m oblige to buy a new phone ( at 400 USD ) just to fight against the AI
joe hell: http://online.neuroshima.org/ has a working online client for Java.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! Finally!
Please, please please please make asynchronous multiplayer play available for this game. It is what makes Words With Friends such a success. Asynchronous multiplayer is a MUST for any boardgame converted app on the Iphone.
Neat. I will buy it when it will be released on the Android platform.
Because it will, right ?
Absoltely great. Count me in. We need more “fast and furious” board games such as NH ported on IPhone (or other devices, but I really think IPhone is best at this point for this kind of app). Tell us what we can do to support your effort (aside from ordering it from AppStore as soon as it hits the shelves !)
Once more, thank you for all comments – they show us people are really interested in this game.
Vincenbo and others, if you want to support us, help us tell the world about our project. Writing about us on facebook, twitter or any news service will be the best support we can have!
Is it possible to give us a more specific release date, other that SOON!??
I’m really looking forward to NH on the iPhone….keep up the great work!!
Use the FAQ, Luke
“When will the game be available?
The game will be available in July/August.”
Awesome news. I am really excited about this one! The screenshots look fantastic. Are you planning to add the expansion armies (Neo-jungle, Smart, Vegas, New York) in as in-app purchases later on? IT would be cool to be able to buy the Duel board in the future, too, with those special rules. Keep up the great work!
This looks like a cool app..
You may want to start a forum thread on toucharcade.com and contact the websites staff about doing a preview. You will want to get as much interest as possible prior to launch.
^^^
The Touch Arcade idea is a very good one. It’s a site that typically gives developers a lot of room to start their own threads/post screenshots, etc.
If we have an iPad and get the iPhone version of the App, will we also get the iPad version when it is released, or will we need to re-purchase it?
Any updates?
Sure thing, updates comming soon, we just don’t have the time to prepare another blog entry
Give us few days
If you need any help beta-testing Neuroshima Hex, I’d be happy to help! =)
I’m very much looking forward to playing NH on my iPhone!

iPhone beta-tester for Archon, Archon: Conquest, Robot Master, Samurai, and Wriggle.
Łukaszu a co z wersją na Androida możemy się takowej spodziewać?
@Richard M. Low, I’ll let you know, Richard, if we will need any new beta testers
@Paweł, odpowiedź jest w FAQ, rozważamy to, ale dopiero po wypuszczeniu wersji na iPada
I’m totally excited. Are you guys going to tell us when it gets submitted to Apple?
Sure we will. Five to ten minutes after it gets submited the world will know
You guys should partner with Plus+ instead of openfeint.
When is the game coming out i cant wait any longer im so excited!
We’re planning to release the game in the second half of August. Why should we use Plus+?
Openfeint has user numbers.sometimes it slows down the game as for plus+ it seems more better if you guys look and compare it between openfeint theres actully players names instead of annoying users number,i think thats thats what pho is trying to say i kinda agree but either way your guys are almost done with the game its just seems better with plus+ i agree with pho. Anyways i cant wait to purchase your game i am very excited! Keep up the good work!
Agreed plus+ works way better than openfeint,plus+ is faster, easier, looks more professional, it is awesome cause we get a actual user name instead of numbers..which is very lame. And it doesnt ruin the icon of the game when its on you homescreen and i know some people really hate the openfeint icon i bet pho and dragon does hate it too its just plain ugly. You guys should take a look at plus+ and openfeint and compare it. I hope this will make you look at things differntly but you guys are professionals im pretty sure you guys know what your doing. I cant wait to buy this game!!
One thing to note….if you keep making changes in the middle of an App release, it will never come out!! Perhaps, it is best to release the product, see how it works, and then make necessary changes in future updates!!
Thank you guys for your answers, we’ll also consider using Plus+.
@Richard, don’t worry, we know that
Very looking forward to this. You have a guaranteed sale here. Any news on when this will be released? July / August 2010 are almost up.
Almost up, but not up yet
We’re planning to send the game to Apple at the end of August.
Can we get on a notification list when this goes live in the App store? Has it been submitted yet?
@Mark, it will get submitted tomorrow. To get the notifications just follow us on twitter – I try to post everything there.
Thanks for this guys. Cant wait to play this on the ipad. Love carc on the Ipad, but this is gonna blow it out of the water for me.
If you end up looking for testers for an HD ipad version.
me <——
Though I will happily pay =) I would just like it sooner
This is my FAVORITE app for the iPhone4. When you have added multiplayer this game will be on everyone’s Christmas list. Let’s hope that it is SOON. Best Wishes.
