Maybe I missed something but it appears that I have to purchase each IAP twice in order to play on both platforms? EDIT/UPDATE: IAP is cross-platform...when you click to buy on diff device it will indicate that you have already purchased and ask if you want to download again. nao Well-Known Member Jan 26, 2010 365 0 16 #6 nao, Aug 17, 2011 other than the generic enemies and background plus no sense of progression, this game is a BLAST!

But, I guess this is the official one, so all is well! Phoenix HD continues to be updated, even while we work on our other new games. We're rolling out a big update tomorrow. We upgraded our engine with the latest and greatest technologies like Metal support for 64-bit cpu's. Almost all visual effects have been redone and improved while staying true to the original. We also upgraded the audio engine, so all audio issues you guys reported in the previous thread have been fixed! The game is now able to play more simultaneous sounds sources so the whole thing sounds more spectacular as well! The pause screen was also changed, to accommodate for a new screenshot feature, and is now also more responsive when resuming. As some of you know, there was some sort of delay after resuming. Very annoying when the game was paused in a more hectic situation To be a bit more specific on the graphic changes, for those interested. The particles can now have a more complex behavior in terms of scaling, fading etc. The biggest change however comes from the removal of frame animations. The base of nearly all fire and explosion effects were hand drawn frame animations (by yours truly). They looked nice, but had a low frame count and always look the same. We rotated them and put other particles on top to mask it, with a pretty good end result. However, these have now be replaced with 100% particle driven visual effects. Every fire / explosion is now unique and animates at a gorgeous 60fps. Below is a new iphone screenshot (left), next to one of the previous ipad app-store screenshots (right). Though these are ipad and iphone screenshots I picked them because you can compare the fire/debris effects in particular (falling next to the ship). Overall we are able to show even more particles now! Having said all that, the game still runs on iPhone 4, so these upgrades are really for everyone!

We've also added new screenshots in the app store, let me know what you think! Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #13 Exact-Psience, Aug 13, 2015 Downloaded the update. The game just crashes back to the springboard when i tap on start game. Im on ipad air ios 8.3, no jailbreak. Selachii Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Nov 13, 2009 659 6 18 Game Designer Netherlands http://www.firigames.com #14 Selachii, Aug 13, 2015 Wew, a crash? That's bad! Investigating right now. I'd love to see the crash logs if you have them. They can be accessed by connecting to iTunes on a Mac or PC or by going to the following location on your ios device: Settings -> Privacy -> Diagnostics & Usage Data -> Diagnostics & Usage Data -> and then probably an entry starting with phoenixhd_ .... The text can be selected and pasted somewhere, like a mail. ([email protected] for example ❤️) We have also encountered a problem with iOS7, but that seems unrelated.

It's one of the reasons i still invest in iOS, despite preferring Android. It's why i bought this iPad too - just to play games in a more glorious and bigger screen [also to browse the net more comfortably too], compared to my previously measly iTouch 4G. The new screenshots look awesome especially with the ship pop-ups at the side. The new effects look awesome but...[cue the bad part] I feel you, Psience. Same here as well. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game to no avail (it worked last time, though). In fact, it got worse after reinstalling; the game crashed when i selected the ship rather than starting the game [in other words I couldn't even get to the Armory]. I'm on iPad Mini 2, iOS 8.0.2, jailbroken with TaiG. Checked my crash log, doesn't seem to pop up anything [probably i disabled it with jailbreak], sorry! syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #19 syntheticvoid, Aug 13, 2015 hmmm... I'm still on 7.1.2 - and it's working, is it just an iOS 8 issue? LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #20 LordShad0wz, Aug 13, 2015 iPhone 5s running iOS 8.4 and it's running perfectly. So it's most likely an iPad issue?
