Little Inferno is now available for Mac! You can get it directly from us, on Steam, and on GamersGate. If you previously bought the Windows version from either site, you should now automatically (and freely) have access to the the Mac version as well. Thank you to all our beta testers who helped pull this together!
Other updates: Linux version is almost ready for testing, and we’re also working on an iOS update that will work on the older iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4.
BREAKING REPORT! Tomorrow Corporation has just learned that Little Inferno for iPhone will be available beginning TONIGHT, Thursday, March 28 for Easter Weekend – and will be on sale for $0.99 (and equivalents) all weekend to celebrate. It will joyfully melt screens of iPhone 4s and up and iPod Touch 5 and up. Up up up. (Note that due to heavy graphics requirements and a fire burning at 100 billion degrees, this version will not work on the older iPhone 4 or lower.)
Once the iPhone version is released, the iPad version will automatically convert to a Universal version called “Little Inferno HD”, so you can use your existing iPad version on your iPhone or iPod Touch as well, with no additional purchase needed. Both the iPhone and Universal versions will also introduce iCloud support so you can easily play across multiple devices.
As with the Wii U, PC, and iPad versions, the iPhone version will also ship in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, and Brazilian Portuguese. Italian will also be coming soon for all platforms. Thanks again to our volunteer translators! And as always, just like the other versions of the game, Little Inferno on iPhone is still 100% free of in-app purchases, ads, spam, etc. You’ll get Just The Game and nothing else!

BREAKING WEATHER REPORT! It’s March, the wind is turbulent, and the air is crisp in many parts of the globe… THIS WEEKEND ONLY, stay warm in there… Little Inferno is on sale across almost all it’s fuel line channels: including right here at Tomorrow Corporation, on Steam, on the Wii U eShop, and for iPads on the App Store.
Two new interviews just popped up today about making-of Little Inferno, motivations behind it, and ponies:
And a really thoughtful analysis piece from Wired – the article’s title “Little Inferno Mocks the Players Who Love it Most” is striking and maybe a little misleading. But the content of the article is much more specific, and goes on to clarify, that there’s “a message that made me realize that Little Inferno isn’t a cynical, mean-spirited hate letter to the games industry, but something far more thoughtful and valuable.” Full article here.
