Waking Mars, the IGF finalist (http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entry2012.php?id=301) formerly known as Lost Mars (http://www.joystiq.com/game/lost-mars), has been approved for human consumption and will be available on Apple's App Store come March 1, according to developer Tiger Style's Twitter account (https://twitter.com/#!/tigerstylegames/status/173201839112716288). The action-gardening platformer will set you back a solid $4.99, is both iPhone and iPad compatible, and as we discovered last September, looks "stunning (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/05/lost-mars-preview-red-planet-meets-green-thumb/)."
The game's name change was a preemptive precaution inspired by Mojang's legal trouble over Scrolls (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/27/bethesda-vs-mojang-scrolls-case-going-to-court/): "We were paying attention to the silliness surrounding 'Scrolls' and 'Elder Scrolls' and we talked to our lawyer and decided that it was best to go with a name we absolutely can own," said Tiger Style's Dave Kalina in a statement on the developer's blog (http://blog.tigerstylegames.com/post/11952605991/naming-the-game-part-2-waking-mars). As that old, interplanetary gardener's saying goes, it's better to plant stuff on Mars than to get planted by Martians. Or, something.
