    Yeah, as soon as the working version gets out, I see this game going big. It doesn't feel like more than just another platformer until you actually get into to it a little.

    Argh! Why can't I stop playing this game?! It's some combination of the loot temptation and the incredibly smooth progression, with new quests and locations being given out in a very streamlined manner. The flavor and charm is still strong as well, like when
    I helped a town nab a corrupt new sheriff and when I came back they had strung up his dead body on a pole for all to see as a reminder
    . Really, really cool game.

    Just finished the main quest line, enjoyed it the whole way through. I still have a few side missions, collectibles and secrets still left. No clue what to do with
    The Device and how to access the elevator at the end of the Near Wastelands
    .

    If you were lucky enough to download before it was pulled, it works perfectly on iPhone 6 and 8.1.1. Also on iPad Air and 8.1.2Upgrading to 8.3 will break it (as I found out on my iPad helping track down the sfx bug).


    The game itself is fantastic. It's funny, and well balanced, any rough edges (like limited character animation) fit well with the entire feeling of the game.


    The bugs on release are unfortunate, but getting blown out of proportion by some here. These things happen, and I think AngryBugs dealt with it in the absolute best way possible. There are only so many resources a tiny team with limited time/cash has. They were extremely forthright with what occurred, and acted on it immediately. I for one, hope they do extremely well with it when they re-release - they deserve it.

    Haha just beat the
    Space Evader high score
    , a really fun and innovative way to gate a stash.

    Also, holy shit, the amount of loot in
    El Dorado
    is absurd!

    I love this game. Music is broken on my iPad Air 2 but I just disable it.

    I hate that a gem like this had issues with a broken version. This game is one of my all time favorites. I cannot put it down

    I believe it's due to iOS 8.3 update that broke the game entirely as far as I understand from the thread rather than being intentional to release the game in such state. A bad timing of app release along side with the iOS update is all I see here. Was in the beta and back then before the iOS update the game works pretty well even in it's beta state unlike the situation that people are facing atm. Think a similar thing also happen to another game Avernum 2 which iOS update also kinda broke their game engine where they have now decided to drop iOS development which is very unfortunate!.

    Oh my... I didn't think anyone would get there that fast! You must be good at platformers xD

    We are working on it and will get to you when we know an approximate release date; we need to get it working right in all devices and iOS versions and right now there is the iOS 8.4 in beta that we should try and get it to work on it too to avoid another umpleasant surprise when releasing the game.

    It's not a priority right now, we will see after this update that fixes screen and controls issues mainly.




    Thanks for all the support, people! That encourages us to keep going, we will make sure to not dissappoint.

    It's that and the game is just really hard to stop playing. Drylanders is a case of a game being far greater than the sum of its parts. Everything just comes together beautifully.

    Loving this game. Works pretty well on iPad retina ios8.2 despite some minor issues with custom control layout. Awesome to see the developers so involved and am stoked to give my support. Gotta say it's crazy to me that so much drama could be caused in people's lives over $2.99! I remember paying like $50 or $60 bucks a piece for NES games back in the day! Glad to give a little monetary support. Good lucks devs and hope everything goes a little smoother.

    Yep 8.3 is the issue. I don't tend to update for a while as a fair few games have this problem (and worst of all ifunbox doesn't work with 8.3!)
