In FTL you experience the atmosphere of running a spaceship trying to save the galaxy. It's a dangerous mission, with every encounter presenting a unique challenge with multiple solutions. What will you do if a heavy missile barrage shuts down your shields? Reroute all power to the engines in an attempt to escape, power up additional weapons to blow your enemy out of the sky, or take the fight to them with a boarding party? This "spaceship simulation roguelike-like" allows you to take your ship and crew on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy filled with glory and bitter defeat.

Yes iPad only, iPhone is too tiny for this game anyway.
Simply my most played game on iPad. Well worth the full price. Now it's a steal!
Aus App Store has it for $2.99, since I don't have a US account, I guess this is what I'm getting then :P
Hey OP, why put the US price and not the Australian price?
My account defaults to US
I dont have iPhone, but great game on PC. Definitely have a look.
bought this a couple weeks ago rip
cant recommend it enough though!!! it is just as good on the ipad as it is on pc
This is such an addictive game. Well worth the money IMO.
You’re getting the full game - no ads or in-app purchases.
Just a shame it’s iPad only…Weapon Pre-Igniter FTW!
FTL
Weapon Pre-igniter, 2x vulcan cannons, and 2x Automated reloader (10% faster recharge) can take anything down.
Damn i'd almost buy another iPad to have this again.
Ugh it's so good. I don't care I've played too many hours. If it was on Android I'd buy it again.
Grabbed this last time it was on sale…never before has a couple of dollars spent been responsible for wasting so many hours of my life! Fantastic game!
When will this game come out on Android???
Such a good game, own it on PC. Would love it to go Mobile for Android
Probably never at this point, apparently they had an awful experience developing it for the iPad, and probably won't go back to tablets in the future.
They'd make a killing from it though, wish they'd contract it out or something.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - if they don't want to do it themselves, why not just farm it out to somebody else? I've got this on PC, it's a great little game. I've got an international flight coming up in a few weeks and this would have been perfect to keep me busy if I could get it for my Android tablet.
Wondering if this will be worth buying on an older iPad? Is the game CPU demanding at all?
It's not particularly demanding - an older iPad would be fine.
Put a hundred hours into it from an iPad 4, which probably counts as an older iPad now. It runs fine, there's no noticable lag, but it will have a lag spike occasionally when jumping, which doesn't affect much.
Wish it would play on an iPhone.
Annoying thing is I could only buy it on my iPad, not iPhone. Buy, not play.
I got an iPad 3 that I use at work for helping with referring to older IOS devices, I also got it for FTL but refused to pay $15 for it, I love the game and already had it on PC with over 250 hours.
It runs fine so far, for $2.99 it's worth a try. Even if it doesn't run, chances are you'll buy a newer iPad and some point and be able to play it.
Can guarantee that an iPad 3 is playable however.

Great game! This maybe ipad (tablet) only?
