Rocketcat goes deeper into the Mage Dungeon with Wayward

by Mike Schramm (Apr 1st, 2013)

Kepa Auwae's Rocketcat Games is one of my favorite iOS developers: Auwae himself is full to the brim with creative ideas about gaming, and all of Rocketcat's releases, from Hook Champ to Mage Gauntlet to Punch Quest, are extremely polished and well-designed. I got to meet with Auwae in person ...
