    Retina update ruins the game on iPad

    After the latest update the game is unplayable on the iPad...

    The game sorta "zooms in" so you can only see part of the screen...
    The resolution is different from before the update.
    It doesn't matter if it's in 2x mode or not...

    Is this something the developer can fix? I really liked playing this game on the bigger screen, as I'm prone to accidently pressing the tonics when placing the torch near the buttom of the screen on my iPhone...
    Also it's just easier to see what's what on the ipad..

    I'm really looking forward to the HD version, but until that comes I would love to get this fixed..

    Got to say I love this game.. It's the only game I've ever completed 3 times from start to end.
    On any platform...

    Thank you very much for the comments and I apologize for the display bug you're seeing. I've just confirmed that the latest update kicks the iPad squarely in the jewels. We'll have a permanent fix soon, but you can work around it for now:

    To get 1.3 working on the iPad, set the screen zoom mode to 1x and restart the game. You can switch to 2x after the game finishes starting up.

    There's a problem with how we're detecting hi-res screens. It's a really lame bug and I'll bet other devs know exactly what we've done wrong.

    Thx for the swift reply. :)
    Starting in x1 mode did the trick.
    Great support from you guys.

    Update out . IPad resolution big fixed.

    Update out today, and the annoying resolution bug on iPad is a thing of the past.
    Fast work from the developer, thank you. :)

    Love this game.

    Wow the 1.3.1 update is already out.

    It must be a quiet season at Apple. I just submitted yesterday!

    Apologies for the hiccup, Bytebrain :)

    Second that. HF is goty it its genre. Which is "a Victorian light puzzler wrapped in awesomeness". Too many good games came out in 2010, couldn't pick one as the bestest (100 rogues, Dodonpachi, SFIV, etc. etc.).

    Is this game worth getting without Game Center? Will it be getting GC soon?

    Yeah, on the top of my head I can't think of any better game on iOS that came out this year (... cough, besides our own ;) ). Space Invaders Infinity Gene came out in 2009 right?

    It's just a neat Idea, and the humour and artstyle (and of course the high fives) is just so damn good...

    Really, It should be more than 0.99$, It's way to cheap for that amount of content!

    Im not quite sure on getting the game without it. There are plenty of good games out there that use GC and if this had it i would prob get it. But sadly it doesnt and until i hear that it is getting it soon or something i think i will call it a miss.
