    So I deleted the game due to the controls but after reading some posts especially from Billy, I reinstalled it and put a little more time in. I have to tell you the current controls are awesome. I wouldn't change a thing. Its what makes the game different. Nothing like fish trailing through traffic and not hitting a damn thing. #

    I wish this would run on an iPhone 5. Why can't it?

    Thanks for taking the time to give it another chance! I'm glad you're having fun with it :)

    Don't worry, we'll be working on optimizing the game to run on more devices. Once we buy a few more phones to test with it shouldn't take too long.

    Here's the WIP menu for the steering options!

    We're working hard to get this out so people can try it. It might be up by Tuesday depending on how long Apple takes to approve it.

    So the current mode we are using now is drift mode?

    It should be interesting. Watch me be the one guy to complain about the normal opposite mode hahaha. I look forward to Tuesday if Apple doesn't Bork it up.

    Yeah, haha. :) It's going to pop up the first time you play asking which you want to try. You can change it in the settings at any time as well. The names have already been changed from that image, I'll let it be a surprise for when it goes out this week. I think you all will like the new mode, it's still different from other games.

    Can you check your ad network? During the beta I never ran out of watching ads. I played for hours. Yesterday the opt in ads ran out. They are still out. It allowed me to view one just now and then no more. This isn't normal.

    We had one of the ad networks switched off, that might have been causing it. Sorry. It's back on now.

    Ok.

    I like the new steering. However when the game starts the car is going all over the place like drunk mode and at first it's very hard to get the car under control with the new mode.

    It needs some refining.

    But I do like it. I posted a new high score to Twitter and Everyplay.

    I also like the lowered costs. It refunded my coins without any issue which I dumped right back into the magnet.

    I was drawn to this game initially because of the brilliant art style but i have to admit i never clicked with the one touch controls

    This new control scheme however is brilliant!

    Thanks for listening and for the quick update. I immediately bought the premium unlock

    Great game

    Thanks! Glad you both like the new controls. Hopefully more people who were turned off by the other mode will give it another shot now.

    I agree the auto steering at the start should just drive straight for the new mode. We still have to change that over, maybe in the next update.

    The new radical controls are AWESOME.
    Thank you for adding that!

    Just an FYI this game makes my iPhone 6 heat up like crazy.

    Happy to see the update/bug fix already. That was fast! Now if I could just stop playing Enter The Gungeon enough to spend some time with all these great mobile games too! Thanks again for being such an open minded Dev. We really appreciate teams like yours.

    Is the car supposed to be constantly swerving from side to side? It's a bit disorienting and makes me dizzy. I just want to know if my device is having issues or if that is intentional?

    Yes. That's intentional. But the update added a second control mode where you can drag the car allowing for full control. You just have to go into options.

    For the next update can you put in a confirmation for purchases in the store? For instance for the upgrades. So it doesn't just do it if you accidentally press it.

    I'm now up to the 1200 coin upgrade for the magnet. I'm getting there slowly. Hehe. I'm starting to finally see a difference at 40%

    Honestly,

    My scores go up way higher when I use it. It is a much better scheme. However I went back to drunk mode because it needs refining. Which they've already acknowledged they will address. When the game starts the car is swerving all over still and at first it's very hard to get control of the car with the new mode. After you do it's awesome. It's basically like a Shoot'em up with relative controls. You move your finger left the car moves left. It's pretty good. Once they address the car swerving at the start. I will be switching to the new mode probably permanently.

    I still stick by my review. I am absolutely loving having the magnet upgraded. It makes the game so much better. I'm saving up 1200 coins now to pump up the magnet to 50% and then I will work on upgrading the tank and lightning power ups.

    I went and purchased my favorite 3 cars to give even more money to the devs. Plus I've been watching the opt in ads for coins.

    Billy
