Reason: No one has yet appeared to start a project to create a recreation (reimplementation) of Speedy Blupi I/2.

New era begins: Open Eggbert will allow adding new features, fixing bugs, porting the game to new platforms.

New features that will enhance the original games, are planned to. Examples of new features: Recreation of game graphics (doubled resolution). New vehicles. Existing features will be improved.

Please note: Open Eggbert is specifically focused on recreating Speedy Blupi/Eggbert games. It does not include other Blupi games.

Open Eggbert does not plan to support iPhone. Reason: iPhone via RoboVM supports only Java 8. But you can try compile Open Eggbert with Java 8 and add iPhone support.
