So is it an update or a completely new thing?

I have no idea what that trailer was. I guess Eliss is known?

And wow, Faraway. I've already forgotten about it, how come that is still not out?

Maybe I missed the boat and I should already know what the hell this game is. But from that teaser, I have no idea what the hell this game is.

Awesome, Eliss is one of the few (only?) great iOS games that effectively uses the technology.

A minor mistake, his current project is "Faraway", not "Farway", for anyone interested.

Eliss is one of the first ios game that showed what kind of games were best with the hardware. Elias was an iPhone game before iphone game were an actual thing.

I re-downloaded Eliss last year and I think it is still one of the best examples of multi-touch gameplay available. I will totally get this new version.

Steph Thirion is one of the most interesting devs around. He does take his time to work on projects, but they're all incredible.

Did anyone else find the original game particularly difficult? I couldn't even get halfway through on my 4S.
