    Thanks a lot it means the world to the team!!

    And thanks to everyone for your patience in having this patch come out.

    As to the Touch4 question, we are still not officially supporting it, but it should work better better with the update.


    No promises, but we are not done with updates for the game :)

    In regards to IAP- being able to skip a mission is ok, but please make the previously purchased IAPs (or equivalent gem/core) available when starting a new game.

    Nope... still no joy on the iTouch 4G, sadly. Plays through the opening okay, then crashes in the exact same spot as before, no matter what. Again, Phospor, I totally understand it's more trouble than it's worth trying to get a game to run like this on such old and limited hardware (if it's even possible) and at least I got to play enough of it to get a pretty good idea it'll be worth waiting for as and when I can get a new iOS device. It's just a shame since I really wanted to review it, but hey, it's not like you're short on positive publicity. ;)

    I'm sorry to hear that :( We did some optimizations that were suppose to help with lower end devices. Sad to hear it didn't work out for the itouch 4 like we had hoped.
     
  8. Will this game eventually get an update to support iPhone 5's new resolution?

    Change the app icon back, for the love of Christ, change it back.

    The original one had a great look to it, the new one since the update looks horrendously cheap/tacky and the app icon tweak (without jailbreaking) doesn't work in iOS 6. In iOS 5 you could manually replace the .png files for app icons, reboot and the changes would take effect.

    Change it back.

    Replacing the PNG files doesn't work anymore, at least not in iExplorer like it used to. The icon is the same in iTunes but when you sync it's now a picture of Horn himself not the really nice artwork like originally. I'm going to give WinZip a try, as it looks like Apple have blocked the writing of files to the ipa via iExplorer now.

    Why do developers fart about with app icons? You don't see console games getting their packaging/box art changed mid release.

    Edit: Tried WinZip, changed the png files but when I tried to sync via iTunes the app gets to the end of installing then fails. Icon does show as changed too. Son of a ....

    During installation on iTunes, normal icon is shown (left).

    After installation is complete, the new icon appears (right).

    Sorry to sound overly fussy, but my two main issues with developers are non-Retina icons (which is lazy) and changing icons mid-cycle when there's no need. The original icon was a really nice piece of artwork, but the new one looks really tacky.

    Jesus what makes the new more awfull is the zynga logo at least in the first one was less noticeable, at least i was using one i post in the first pages without the logo on top

    To change the icon what i have done in the pass is the next, if you can try with winrar try and see is the error is maybe because winzip but i dont think so

    Open horn with winrar then open the payload folder and HornGame.app folder an replace the png with this name [email protected] (all i do is drag and drop the new one into the rar and thats all)

    Maybe now apple block this way to i'm downloading the new update so i will try and let you know if i got this error

    New icon gives you a better idea of the game now. I prefer it.

    The bugs I was experiencing all appear to be gone and everything is working fine after the update.

    One thing I have noticed after updating to iOS 6, when I go to "Settings" on the new iPad, Horn settings/info is completely blank. (I was checking to see if there might have been an option to skip the intro movie, but there's nothing in the settings panel at all)

    Also, I do agree with others, the original icon was much nicer than the new one. (but I won't lose sleep over it)

    I agree, the older icon was classier. Loved it even on my main first page of the iPad. Now it looks generic like all the other game icons. Oh well. *off to the folders with you

    Surely as a player you can see what's in the original icon? It's very clever ... or was.

    I like both but it didn't represent the type of game it was as well.
