Now Explore the Massive Ocean World of Aquaria On the iPad

It's always wonderful to see a worthy indie game slowly bud and blossom over time.

In this case we're talking about the underwater fantasy world of Aquaria which is, after winning awards at the Indie Game Festival and hitting Steam, now making a debut on the iPad this fall.

The iPad version of the game includes new gameplay and a bit more visual polish. This version is also the result of one amazing collaboration between Alec Holowka (Paper Moon, Marian), Derek Yu (TIGSource, Spelunky), Adam Saltsman (Wurdle, Canabalt) and Andrew Church (Aquaria PSP).

So pretty.
