    after playing around with this on my friends ipod, I'm pretty near sold. One thing I noticed, is there a reason why you can't aim the camera higher? Like the highest angle you can get is 90 degrees with the ground.

    And he picked it up when it's 1.0, What did 2.0 fix?

    Don't wait, just get it now.

    It's just a small glitch I noticed, and it proved helpful as killing that character gave me more exp.

    So far, so good. Fun combat, solid quests, nice (inconsistent) graphics with a really good level of environmental detail.

    Are the developers from New Jersey? A lot of the buildings seem to be named after NJ landmarks and restaurants, unless it's coincidental.

    Wondering

    Well I got this game loving it looks amazing but not sure if it's my iPod or not but there's a hop every2-3 secs whenever I'm walking I'm runing on a 3rd gen iPod touch??

    Go to options and set the graphics level down one.

    Restart your iPod

    Enjoying the game very much! Started a troll rogue - put some points in dual wield but for some reason dude will not equip 2 weapons. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks

    One has to be primary and the other has to be secondary

    Having a minor problem here, really minor, but still.

    When leaving the app and multitasking, when I come back to the game, the is no music, only sound effects. Music will restart only when you change location (enter a house for example). Don't know if any other users experienced this? (I'm on iPad 4.2.1 btw) Of course there is the small icons, but players already mentioned it.

    Really LOVE the game so far, any RPG fan would enjoy this game and must buy this app, don't even think about it and click buy :)

    been playing the game for a while and it is great, just what i expected if not more. congrats :)

    i do have a few comments though. first, it would be nice to have volume and sound effects sliders, by default the music completely overrides all speech while listening through my ipod speakers. would like to be able to adjust volume settings.

    another thing is the tap to move, would like a option to turn off as i found myself moving while trying to rotate the view.

    last, i noticed the clip range for has been reduced, and since theres no fog you see the terrain just...invisibly slide into the clip range. its ugly, and fog could easily fix it. im guessing you chose not to because the skybox has some land in it and the fog would cover it? pop up of trees and objects is not so bad, but i just find the terrain to appear how it does distracting. would be nice to have a fix for this as well.

    this game is an amazing accomplishment, and im eager to see future projects from both teams :)

    It's a Unity thing -- I believe they're looking into it, but I've noticed it in other games, too. Best thing to do is open a chest, go into a building, etc and the music will start back up. At this point I simply clear the game from my multitasking dock every time I quit (making sure to save before hand).

    On the Tom Thumb quest problem (mentioned earlier), I sent a note to the devs about it.

    I lowered settings down and it still does the hops not as much especially when I'm walking around but as I get close to a town it hops alot and when I'm inside any one else having this problem???

    The Tom Thumb quest was an unlucky result of another previous fix, but we are submitting an update which fixes it asap. When Apple approves it, it'll be good to go.

    Thanks all. Keep it all coming!

    iPhone 4 vs Ipad

    Does anyone have perspective on which would be the superior way to play: iPad vs iPhone 4? I'm curious if the interface and the graphic quality differs much between the two.

    THanks!

    Sounds good. It wasn't that big of a deal, just a surprise seeing him run up and attack me again.

    I think pocket gamer has a point with the controls but from my first brief play it certainly seems like it could be a really good once you adjust and start getting into it. I haven't done much more than have a brief look round the starting village and slay a few wolves as yet but there is definitely promise there.

    First thing I did was change the graphics to high I wonder why they started off on medium maybe it's battery life or something but it all seems smooth enough.
