I spent the last few days porting our game Crystal Control over to the Airconsole platform. While they haven't officially "released" it yet, you can try it out here: http://www.airconsole.com/#!play=com.virtuallycompetent.crystalcontrol

If you haven't played Crystal Control before, it's a competitive shoot 'em up for two players! Try to capture the crystals floating in the center of the screen by shooting them, which in turn shoot at the enemy player (so the more crystals under your control, the more firepower you have at your disposal). Take out the enemy to win!

If you haven't used Airconsole before, it's basically a platform for hosting web games that allows you to use your smartphone as a controller. Getting CC ported over to it was a bit of a nightmare, but the team behind it were very responsive and helpful throughout the process!

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think, specifically about your experiences with the airconsole port (are the controls responsive on your device? are the buttons cut off on your screen?), but also about the game itself as we're gearing up to make Crystal Control II next year!
