Currently propagating. Will be out everywhere by 11 PM EST. Patience folks...this one is worth the wait!
I’ve been more excited about this release than any other in a long time (this and Dead Cells, but I suspect this is more my cup of tea). Can’t wait!!!
Oh my gawwwdddd! I preordered it so I'm just expecting it to randomly appear on my homescreen.... any minute now.........
If you have an MFI controller and a newer iPhone/iPad - this. It seems like there are more bells and whistles plus it’s cheaper and easier to take everywhere
Already have this on PC. Buying it anyway. This pixel art alone deserves to have another $5 thrown at it.
Just got it though pre-order and started playing........ ...... and after a couple of minutes I’m off to find a “wtf is going on” guide.
i have this on ps4 but didnt bother since it looks too small from a distance. The mobile version looks perfect! if someone could comment on battery drain/heat/fps on a 6s+ positively i’d happily spend 5eu more and play!
For anyone interested it has black borders on iphone X from the left and right side. Seems like they did not make it fullscreen
The framerate is very inconsistent and badly paced when playing on an iPad Pro 2018. The game seems to be slowing down and speeding up constantly. It’s quite distracting.
