From GDC: Appy Entertainment Talks iPad Plans

Appy Entertainment met with us at GDC, and dished out some details regarding their plans for the iPad. First and foremost they're fully adopting the iPad in their development plans from this point forward. That means they already have games they're working on for the device which will be as close to ipad launch as possible only delaying to get it in their hands to make sure it doesn't over power the device, and feels right. The first game will be FaceFighter Face2Face, icon above, which is the face fighter on the iPhone redesigned for the bigger device. It will be more than just upscaling the graphics, and instead will provide a whole new experience. It will have iPad unique gestures, and will be an iPad exclusive launch. Appy is also working on Tune Runner HD exclusive for the iPad. It will play similarly to the iPhone version as you draw shapes as you play to your own music, but with all the graphics made to run natively on the iPad. In Tuner Runner a music note runs across screen, and you need to draw shapes that appear on screen. You can play your own music while the note runs so you will be able to compare scores on the same songs. Other Appy news includes that they will be releasing Face Fighter 2 which will be a dual platform release, and build on everything of the current iPhone version. Face Fighter on the iPhone will be getting an update soon adding OpenFeint as well. The current Tune Runner is free with in-app purchases and they will be introducing a $1.99 app to buy the unlimited version of the game. They are also working on one other mystery product that, knowing Appy, will be just as cooky, in a good way.
