What I&#8217;ve noticed so far:<\/p>\n<p>Arvale II&#8217;s GUI and gfx are from the iPhone version, which looks pretty slick, but it&#8217;s\u00a0 still using the Windows Mobile music and SFX (so the download is really small).<\/p>\n<p>Anthelion is in widescreen so it&#8217;s gfx are pretty nice, even better than the Windows Mobile version, but it still has the default controls (which are dumb). When you pick it up and start playing, be sure and go to the settings screen first and turn off Roll and turn off inverse controls, you&#8217;ll be happy you did \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>In both games it seems arrow keys work fine and numbers 1,2,3,4 on the keyboard work as the action buttons. Enter key seems to work great in Arvale II as the Use key as well.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like the fine folks at PDAmill Game Studios are turning this into a yearly event. \ud83d\ude42 You can now go pick up Anthelion: The Galactic Alliance and Arvale II: Ocean of Time for FREE.
