Here’s a brief description from Microsoft Studios creative director Adam Isgreen:...

Good times. That memory was immediately brought back when I watched the trailer forLittle Galaxy....

Many developers have gone on record noting that they develop for iOS instead of Android because of the concept of unified platforms and a higher sale rate — so it makes sense that smaller studios may not always be keen to release on the latter....
