    Any hint at when the IOS version will hit?! 😀

      It’s with Apple for submission, so… it normally takes about 2 weeks or so I think. Watch this space!

      Thank you! There’s a web version on Kongregate if you want to play. Just at the bottom of the page you’ll find the link.

    Very nice. A little “wizball” and a little “spindizzy”. Really good.

    Really nice, Sean was telling you about your game and I have heard great things and I need to pick it up. Sean’s working on a game with us and we are creating our game for iOS & Android. Best of luck.

    I played I Am Level over the last few days on my Android tablet and finished it just now. It was a bit tough but more than worth my time. Reminds me so much of my teenage years “wasted” playing Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, and the rest – the Speccy loading screen brought a smile to my face. Thanks for a great game and try to stay level!

      A pleasure to bring a smile to your face. It makes me know that this was worth doing!

    walkthrough? Only hold the paddles is missing, and I have no idea how to get the star at the bottom of the screen…

    Just finished the game (iPad version), and I really, *really* liked it ! Simpla put, I dont think I have enjoyed any game in this way since playing Manic Miner / Jet Set Willy.
    The mix of using tilt & touch works really well, (probably the first time i have actually liked using tilt as means of controlling a character).
    A great game!

    Absolutely gorgeous game, I can’t stop smiling – but PLEASE add a digital control option for iOS. It’s easily and elegantly done – left side of screen left, right side of screen right, both sides at once for fire. It’d make it SO much more enjoyable on mobile formats.

    I finished this months ago and amid all the other gaming goodness around I still find myself craving this game! Are there any plans for a sequel, or a level editor perhaps?

    • January 17, 2014 11:12 am

      Thanks! That’s a lovely comment to wake up to. No plan for a sequel, but never say never.

        Any chance of a Wii u version? Have this for android but would get lots of exposure on eshop and unity engine works on Wii u

      • April 8, 2014 6:51 pm

        I am looking into doing more versions of this after finishing iON Bond, so I guess I’ll do a bit of research nearer that time. Maybe…
