All thing I just want on this game is backward and left right movements!

A bit on the fence.

The game had a simplified control system that allows you to move forward or turn left or right. You can’t strafe or backstep, though. BENCOMO likes this.

If you decide to play as a right handed person: press the left-bottom side of the screen to walk forward, and tap the fire button to fire weapon // drag your finger on the right-bottom side of the screen to move the camera horizontally. It switches that around if you decide to play as a left handed person. I hope this makes the controls clear enough but please let me know if there are any other questions! Cheers! EDIT: forgot to add that the game must be played using two hands and it is played only in portrait mode. djstout and psj3809 like this.

Truncana Well-Known Member Mar 18, 2013 623 91 28 #12 Truncana, Mar 1, 2021 Bencomo, I have a bug to report: I am on iPhone 8 and after every mission completed the game kick me off to iPhone home screen. When I restart the game next mission is ready to be played. Another thing is that the game is high battery consuming for me, every mission take almost 15% of my battery, but I don’t know if it’s my device to be too old... Anyway I love missions and music!!!

It is odd as I have also an iPhone 8 and the game does not have those crashes you mention. I have also tested the game on an iPhone 6S and everything works fine. Have not noticed the battery drain either on those devices, but the game does uses the CPU significantly to render the level, so it makes sense the battery gets a hit in not so new devices. Is your phone's battery in good condition? Anyway glad to hear that at least you are not losing your progress and that you are enjoying the game! EDIT: the battery can be drained also if you are playing the game without headphones, or using the phone's speaker too loudly. Truncana likes this.

BENCOMO Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Apr 29, 2018 213 109 43 #16 BENCOMO, Mar 1, 2021 Hello again @Truncana a friend of mine has played the game and I was informed about the crash as also (iPhone 8 as well).. I believe this might be a memory issue. I will figure it out and submit an update to the store soon. Luckily the progress is saved on device before the crash happens. It is just an inconvenience to players as it only happens when a new level starts. Thanks again for spotting this! Truncana likes this.

The visuals are very unique. I’m also intrigued because I’m itching to play an FPS in portrait mode. However, I’m hesitant because of the limited scope of movements. I wish there was a free version we can test drive. AltsKev and BENCOMO like this. Lull4by Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2014 767 313 63 #18 Lull4by, Mar 1, 2021 Played to the day 4 already, just a little curious about the reloading, it is really awkward that you know bullets in your clip are not enough to kill the enemy, but it looks like you can't reload the gun by yourself, so you have to shoot all bullets remain in the clip to "reload", which is really weird, is there any chance to reload the weapon when you want to do it? (like add a reload button or something else to reload the weapon) Another problem is about driving, it seems the control is not the same like moving the character, so I keep turning left and I can't drive the car normally, please help! BENCOMO Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Apr 29, 2018 213 109 43 #19 BENCOMO, Mar 1, 2021 Hey @Lull4by thanks for playing till day 04. Regarding the reloading - it happens automatically. There is no reload button in order to simplify the UI of the game. Sorry if that causes any inconvenience. The driving is the exact same as walking. Exact same controllers. The part of the screen used for walking is instead used for accelerating the vehicle and the steering is controlled by the side that controls the player head. I hope this helps! Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #20 Brightsiderus, Mar 1, 2021 @Lull4by i told @BENCOMO exactly the same thing yesterday about reloading and strafe Lull4by likes this.
