Terraria released for iOS

It doesn't "officially" go live until tomorrow-- you can't find it by searching in the App Store on your iDevice right now, but you can download it now in iTunes and sync it up that way.

EDIT: No need to do this now, it's officially out!

Happy digging, fighting, and exploring!

Just downloaded it. Opened up and music started.

SO RAD! Must have dropped early.

It's infuriatingly difficult to control. Might just take some getting used to.

Not too bad here, but i've only been playing for 4 minutes.

I've played other games that approximate a joystick on a touchscreen and also found that difficult, so it may just be me :)

It's not amazing, but its OK I guess.

Have to take some boss fights VERY slowly or not at all. Hell would be very hard on my iPhone not to mention hard mode.

But for a little Terraria on the go? I can see this working well for that.

This would work much better on the Vita with the touch screen and analog controls.

Yep. Another tick in the "pro" column for getting a Vita. It's getting close to the sweet spot for me to get one.

Yeah, agreed.

Ok so after about 20 minutes of playing it feels a bit cramped. Occasionally I run into some issues with open doors and chests and dealing with my house. Over time I imagine it will get sorted out but I don't expect i'll clock a ton of time into this one. Compared to PC Terraria it's pretty limiting.

That said, i'll write up a review about it at some point.
