    With the tiny isometric view, it drives me crazy that this isn't portrait

    I noticed a numerical typo with the Randolph scenario. I got 2 stars with my score of 938, but right there at the bottom of the description of that scenario on the campaign map says I needed 650 for 3 stars. In the actual Randolph scenario I think it said 1100, so this "650" is clearly the 3 star value from some other scenario.

    Looks like there's sort of a progression system in this... anyone know if it has iCloud support?

    I was curious as to what you fine iOS gamers thought of Cole's game. So far it seems mostly positive. I myself have been putting a ton of hours into it and it is as hard as the Steam version. I to have once or twice accidentally placed a building I didn't plan on, sometimes it occurs after placing the last building, rapidly. I assume my fat finger is touch the screen when i don't realize it.

    As his Steam version of Concrete Jungle is part of our Humble Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Bundle I have been emailing him more then usual. I will send him a message to check the thread again. I know he is still working on it so I am sure some of the UI issues mentioned here will be addressed.

    I am on my second play through in the game, I only got so far on Steam due to limited time on PC for gaming. So I was excited when he decided to do the mobile conversions. I am still on the hunt for the Clickteam Headquarters building that was part of our Kickstarter reward!

  8. Hi guys, thanks for the feedback.

    The right click text appears due to me including the wrong file in the iOS build, it will be fixed in the next update. I have managed to run the game on an iPad 2 (iOS 9) just fine, but as a few users have pointed out it will not work on iOS 7. I'll add this to the description also. I'll look into the double-placement bug too, I don't recall encountering that on my testing but perhaps there's something I can do to stop it doing that.

    Chris- the Fusion HQ is one of Yves' top-tier buildings at the end of his tech tree (hard to get but extremely powerful).

    Allow background audio from other apps

    I just bought Concrete Jungle on iOS and I think it looks really promising! But I like listening to podcasts while playing games so I was disappointed to find out that the game is set to not mix its audio with any background audio, even in the case where I set all audio in the game to a volume of 0.

    I hope this is something that will be fixed in a later update?

    "It's like something out of a David Cronenberg movie."

    Glad I bought this game for that line alone, aside from the fact that it's an actually fun premise with original gameplay mechanics.

    Kudos man, I hope it does well enough for some expansions, the campaign voice acting's top notch, and the building designs are clever and well drawn.

    Selffridge has to be my favorite character in a video game in a long time, I worked at a firm for someone like him, obviously not quite that bad, but the morning memos were priceless. Love your game, the humor's a great balance between grown folk and younger folk.

    ---------------------

    All that aside, my one complaint is that I need to be really awake and clear heaed to play your game, since one misplaced building or a new mechanic can screw the entire level.

    Is there ANY way you could code a once per level undo button, or something like that? I can't tell you how many times I put down a gazebo or something like that by accident, and realized that I had mis-touched where the bonus should go.

    The one yellow card about changing a tile to 1 if it's anywhere below that value drives me nuts, 2/5 times if I'm not really paying attention, I'll waste its bonus. Like, I don't want save scumming, that'd ruin the game, but something to prevent "I'm tired and can only play your game if I'm paying 120% attention to it" would be a great quality of life improvement.

    As it stands, and I know it doesn't mean all too much form one person, your game's gonna be one of those that I actually leave a review on the App Store for each iteration. It's got almost no flaws in my opinion.

    I would assume, that the card you're talking about probably has a low economy rating (the yellow numbers that let you buy cards), but it would give a block of cards +1 for each buildings.

    Arguendo, you could all of a sudden get +4 points to buy a card, basically an entire purchase almost, from existing cards which gave you no economy when they were placed.

    It gives + 1 to the economy of ADJACENT buildings though, so you'd have to place it in the middle of something. Diagram below, X are unaffected tiles, Y would be the adjacent tiles, and Z would be the card you're talking about. Remember, adjacent can't mean diagonal on a Cartesian plane type of playing field in most games, a lot of people seem to think that for some reason. Not sure it holds for actual math, but I digress, ADJACENT usually means next to each other, which when squares are involved, means 4 directions, none being diagonal. Very important concept for this game.

    X Y X
    Y Z Y
    X Y X

    Your card would go in the Z spot, and all the Y blocks would get +1. Basically, a VERY situational card imo unless your deck revolves around that bottom empty slot cross building type of play, which seems inefficient for this game.

    No problem, there're still a bunch of cards I can't find uses for, and I'm only up to experience? level 6, so keep at it, their functionality becomes apparent the more you play.

    Like I said in my other post, a once per level undo button would solve problems like this lol...

    Just caved and got this... it's really good! There also seems to be a ton of depth with regard to all the different cards and the different tech trees for all the characters. It's no wonder pocket tactics gave it five stars. Also surprised at how good the VA and jokes are in the campaign.

    I also mentioned it earlier, but would it be possible to add iCloud support for campaign progress and unlocks?
