It seems like there are more bells and whistles plus it’s cheaper and easier to take everywhere Nonstickron Well-Known Member Sep 24, 2009 312 32 28 Graphic Artist / Pre-Press Central Florida http://www.rgdesignhouse.com #10 Nonstickron, Jul 24, 2019 Already have this on PC. Buying it anyway. This pixel art alone deserves to have another $5 thrown at it. stubbieoz Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2015 1,880 358 83 Male Grey haired gamer NSW Australia #11 stubbieoz, Jul 24, 2019 Last edited: Jul 24, 2019 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. andsoitgoes likes this.

Screenshots imply otherwise. Guess I will stick with the console version. leokamiya Well-Known Member Sep 20, 2017 52 35 18 #17 leokamiya, Jul 25, 2019 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. ioso Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2017 123 27 28 Male #18 ioso, Jul 25, 2019 If a dev reads this.
