Pretty good. Only complaint so far is that I wish on the iPad there was a button, maybe below the d-pad, that switches between the twins...I'm sure it's fine on the iPhone, but on the iPad it's a little bit more of a stretch. Would just be much easier if there was a button to switch characters closer to one of the thumbs, also for entering doors wouldn't be too bad either. cosmos Well-Known Member Apr 5, 2010 108 0 0 #6 cosmos, Apr 23, 2010 Thanks for your feedback. You don't need to press all the way up on the corner to switch characters, just press anywhere above the dpad, that is basically all the upper left corner of the screen. Same for the doors, you can press anywhere in the middle of the screen to enter doors. But you might be right that it is bit far from the finger. I think in general having too many buttons will clutter the screen. I will wait for more feedback from users and then decide what is the best way to go. Thanks again.

Harpgliss Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2009 792 0 16 Here No More #10 Harpgliss, May 21, 2010 Hi, Sales happen, just the nature of business in the appstore. If the game was worth the price you paid, then why complain, you got your value. David bastband Well-Known Member May 14, 2010 360 0 0 England #11 bastband, May 21, 2010 If you want a dated side scroller, this is for you. It harks back to the C64 days and is well priced at the moment on offer. In my opinion not worth the original 4.99 asking price... Harpgliss Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2009 792 0 16 Here No More #12 Harpgliss, May 21, 2010 Hi, What was your opinion before you bought it? Obviously you thought it was priced right for you to buy it, correct? Judging from your posts in this thread, you just are not happy the game went on sale after you bought it. Happens all the time and you just have to accept it, there really is not any help for you on that. David dark1x Well-Known Member Apr 15, 2010 45 0 0 #13 dark1x, May 21, 2010 I own both the iPhone and iPad versions and I definitely recommend the iPhone version on a 3GS over the HD version. Despite the more powerful CPU, the iPad version runs at 30 frames per second. On my 3GS, however, the iPhone version runs at a smooth 60 frames per second (which is much more pleasing for a 2D platform game). What's even stranger is that, when running the iPhone version on the iPad, you also only get 30 fps (which is what the iPhone 3G and older iPod touches produce). So, basically, 3GS + iPhone version is the best way to experience this. Disappointed that they only get half the framerate in the HD version. Deth4U2 Well-Known Member Aug 19, 2009 116 0 0 #14 Deth4U2, May 21, 2010 I've been playing the iPad version and think this is a great game. I'm only on level 3 or 4 at the moment though. cranker Well-Known Member Jul 28, 2009 3,166 0 0 Montreal #15 cranker, May 21, 2010 Any other impressions of the iad version of this game and the game in general ? What about the controls ? bastband Well-Known Member May 14, 2010 360 0 0 England #16 bastband, May 21, 2010 I purchased it on the basis of TouchArcade's Best Game of April, PC Magazine's top 10 iPad game, only to be let down. Have you played the game? Harpgliss Well-Known Member Nov 8, 2009 792 0 16 Here No More #17 Harpgliss, May 21, 2010 Hi, Yes, I have played the Iphone version and enjoyed it. I am not familiar with the earlier version of this game so I was not comparing it to anything, just enjoyed the gameplay. My son, who is more of a gamer than me, has enjoyed playing a lot. I look more at what other users say than a site or magazine has to say, or just a gut feeling sometimes. My purchase was a gut feeling and I do not regret my purchase, no matter the price. It is a shame you do not enjoy the game.
