We recently received a call from David Baum, CEO at Bladepad. He showed us a very cool device they are about to roll out to the market- the new Bladepad! After a short bit of coding we began playing Jetpack Junkie using the new Bladepad and it rocks.
Stephen Wilkinson, Co-Founder RocketPop Games says “Using my years of d-pad practice I beat my own high score in our own game 
”. The pad works very much like a traditional controller, so for all of us that have years of practice playing on consoles, you are going to love it. In reference to the SDK it is fairly painless to implement- which means we will be implementing in on all of our games we can.
Its solid and connects right to the phone or iPod and has a cool sliding in/out feature to make sure you always have it with you- definitely a gamers device.
When testing we were able to use most the buttons for Junkie:
1. Flying (analog controller)
2. Jetpack power
3. Four powerups
4. Select and start
Look for some new video on game play coming soon and even more, David says to look for the Bladepad in stores soon near you.
