Great job on the port. Easily one of those must-have games for every iPad owner. Not to mention the 50% launch sale - that’s how the perfect release should look like. Bravo! And highly recommended for every rogue-like fan. There’s a ton of impressions and praise in upcoming games category thread or even on Steam, if you need reassurance. But trust me, this game’s worth a try. Its only flaw is you won’t be able to put it down once you start playing. You’ve been warned! Uriel and CrayonWarrior like this.

Uriel Well-Known Member Oct 22, 2009 60 25 18 Male #9 Uriel, Feb 13, 2020 Yes, we don't have plans for phone builds. We never say never, but for the game to be comfortable experience on small screens a humongous amount of rework would be required. It's not only UI, but we would also probably need to rescale the game itself or make a different control scheme. AltsKev and ste86uk like this.

Not a critical bug, thankfully It should run on anything sporting iPadOS 13. As far as I know mini 4 and 5 do, so it should be fine.

Uriel Well-Known Member Oct 22, 2009 60 25 18 Male #20 Uriel, Feb 13, 2020 That would exceed the RAM available - our engine loads all textures at the start, no streaming. Also, more importantly, the Steam prototype uses much, *much* older version of the engine (like seven years older than the current build) so can't be merged with the current build and would have to be ported from scratch.
