I would definitely repurchase Machinarium if there was an iPad version.  ;)

I second this, this will be the 3rd time I'll purchase the game and there'll be a 4th when it comes to PSN.

Same here :)

Apple recently said Flash-based apps could be pushed on the AppStore again. And I really think the iPad is the dreamed platform for adventure games. I’ve (re)played Broken Sword, Beneath A Steel Sky and Lechuck’s Revenge on it, it’s just marvelous. :)

Hey guys,

Machinarium may be a real estate nightmare on ipod/ipad, but it would be fantastic for iPad!  And you wouldn't have to worry about the piracy issue (iTunes store) and I'm sure you'd generate some serious revenue from that. This game is amazing! PLEASE guys. Make this happen. :)

I love your games!  Now that the ban on flash generated code has been removed from Apples terms, I was wondering if there were any plans to bring games like Machinarium to the iPad? 

I would do anything to play these games on my iPad.

I wish to add my voice to the chorus.  Yes please bring your games to the iPad.  It is the perfect format for it and the iPad needs some adventure puzzle games that are not simply find hidden object games.  I would purchase this game on the iPad in a heartbeat and you don't need to sell it for 99 cents.

Machinarium was created using Flash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash).  But iPad/iPod/iPhone doesn't support Flash.

Try searching for "iSwifter (http://savedelete.com/how-to-play-flash-games-on-your-apple-ipad-for-free.html)".

Another vote here for Machinarium (and it's successors) to be ported to the iPad. 

I realise it's Flash based on computer platforms, but moving to non-Flash based development would surely be a great move for this charming game, making it much more portable and not at the whim of the Adobe developers for the Flash platform it currently requires.

I think if it was keenly priced at UKP1.99 or less it should attract plenty of interest, there are already some great iPad games out there that are about this price or free (supported by in-game advertising, which should be a viable alternative too for this type of game).

You are not taking the QUALITY of Machinarium into account.  Something as beautifully done as Machinarium does not sell for "UKP1.99 or less".

Well it appears that I must stand corrected.  :-\
