    Ah, I was hoping that meant full screen on the X.

    Is it just black bars on either side of the game currently?

    Is everyone with an iPhone X seeing the black bars? Take a screenshot if you can and post it.

    The font size is still too big on my iPhone 7. Most of the character descriptions don't fit the text box.

    Hotfix update should be coming out in a couple hours. This will fix the black bars.

    Got a new screenshot for this?

    We're starting to test the new update, which should probably hit in January.

    - Being able to open up options in-mission (replaces quit button)
    - Being able to lock the movement stick/pad
    - Showing the control stick/pad (on by default)
    - All the EYEBALL part two content

    This also contains some screen tweaks for the newer phones, again.

    We could use more iPhone X testers. Message me if you have one and would like to get on the testflight with it.

    Some sort of cloud save thing is on the list, it's been slow because we wanted to figure out how to do cross-platform (and it's not on every platform it will be on yet).

    I might consider getting a switch if that comes true.

    Changes for the update coming on Thursday:

    Controls Options

    - Open the options menu during missions now to tweak controls on the fly, with the top left button.
    - Option to show the movement pad when you place your thumb down, on by default
    - Drag Lock option to plant the movement controls down to where you put your thumb down, with no dragging. Just slide the drag setting all the way to the right.

    Golden Skulls

    - ZP skulls added! Touch them to get them to stop laughing at you for a moment and also give you a Zombo Point.
    - ZP skulls can randomly be added to loot generated in most building types.

    Rare Events and Encounters

    - Road Event: Cursed Treasure. Permanently screw up a character in exchange for getting a pirate cutlass or other melee weapons. Or just accept a Goblin Gift Basket or the Dingusnomicon.
    - Road Event: Chainsaw Hand Replacement. Also includes complimentary Double Barrel Shotgun!

    - New rank of Rare Finder added. This will let you get up to 4 rare events per game and very slightly increases their chance (currently to 4/55 or so)

    - City Encounter: Sewer Rodent
    - City Encounter: Department of Motor Vehicles

    - DMV Event: Completely Legally Binding Name Change

    New Characters

    - Rare Camp Recruit: Earnestine. Wielder of the Farmer's Shotgun.
    - Rare Encounter Recruit: Some kind of green rodent?

    New Weapons

    - Sai: Like the ninja's kunai, except normal characters can actually use it.
    - Chainsaw Hand: The tiniest chainsaw. Very efficient, slightly less damage output, stuck to your arm forever.
    - Double Barrel Shotgun: Zombie obliteration for players with a big pile of shotgun shells saved up. Double the piercing of most shotguns!
    - Farmer's Shotgun: Unique double barrel shotgun with +33% damage and faster reload times.

    Tweaks and Fixes

    - Text skip on touch
    - Fixed a MORE.. bug

    - Grim Reaper no longer drops his Scythe
    - Removed the break chances when using the shotguns as melee weapons
    - Typo fixes

    - Big Dawg: Trader cost set to 35, down from 40
    - Big Dawg: Piercing increased to 15%, up from 10%

    You're just shooting yourself in the foot by waiting. There are no sales planned for the iOS version, and the price goes up with every major content update. From the designer himself: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=3992353&postcount=19
