There are some games where I think that they would look better with the iOS 8 graphics library, Metal. Bean Dreams ($2.99) was not necessarily one of those games. As a 2D pixel art platformer, it certainly isn’t ugly, but it certainly isn’t a game where I think “you know what would make this look better? Metal." Well, Kumobius thought “you know what would make this look better? Metal." So they added Metal visual effects to the game. Some of them are quite subtle, but they include an aurora borealis, per-drop rain effects, and new shaders. This is all without affecting performance on the old iPhone 3GS and iPad 1, which the game is still compatible with.

Along with the Metal effects, there’s also new level packs! Ninja boots are the big addition to the game, allowing you to jump off of walls and roll on ceilings when you have them. Magnet floors make a return, as well; you can hold to the floor and jump off when you let go of the screen with these floors. The game now has 78 levels in total, and Kumobius is promising more.
