Zen Bound 2 for iPad out by April 3rd, looks great

We've heard from Secret Exit (creators of Zen Bound) a few times about the new version of their game coming soon, but Touch Arcade has some brand new pics and insight about the game itself. Kotaku also has a few preview pics, and the game looks terrific -- not only is it due out in the App Store soon, but we know for sure that it'll be before April 3rd, because they're aiming to have a day one iPad version ready to go as well. As you can tell from the pics, it's going to be just gorgeous -- high resolution, a crisp UI with lots of room to breathe, and the same physics-based rope-twisting gameplay as the first game.

Of course, there will probably be at least a few kinks -- unless Secret Exit is super lucky, they probably haven't run the code on an actual iPad just yet, so even if the app is in the store on day one, it might still need a few adjustments once they actually get a production device to run everything on. But these pics only make us even more excited at the possibility for gaming on the iPad -- just like we'd never had a mass-market touchscreen device before the iPhone came along, we've never had a widespread touchscreen device of this size before, and the bigger screen is going to make a big difference in games like this one for sure.

What I'm wondering is when their Cinnamon Beats game is coming to the iPhone!

How are they going to differentiate iPad apps from iPhone apps in the app store? Do we know this yet?

ipad app store puts the ipad only apps upfront - but also gives u the option to look at the iphone apps.

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't read that anywhere. Source?

Can you REALLY tell anything about a crisp UI from pictures??!! How does one do that?

Having said that, I doubt that there's much to debugging between going from iPhone to ipad on this game. I was a fan of ghe original, but a higher res version isn't going to sell me on an ipad yet.
