[h2]Spirit Island on Smartphone[/h2]

Spirit Island is now available on iPhone and Android phones! Now is a great time to pick up Spirit Island on mobile. It's free to download and try!

And since we know someone will ask:

I bought one of your games for Steam (or iOS, or Android). Do I get it for iOS (or Steam or Android)?
A purchase of one of our games is good on the store where you made your purchase and does not transfer to other stores. It would be best to decide where you want to play and plan your purchase accordingly. For instance, a purchase on Steam allows you to play on Windows, Mac, and SteamOS/Linux computers signed in with your Steam account. A purchase for iOS allows you to play on any iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch linked to your Apple account.
