    We are currently looking at ways we can improve the controls for people. I personally love Lili (at the last section of the game) but I feel like their control method would not work for parts of our game that require more precise control. We agree that controls need work but we want to make sure we get the best of both worlds from Lili's ease of use while still allowing precise movement for puzzles.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out Bard's Tale!

    We have not given up on Horn yet and still have some new content on the way. ;)

    I will send this out to our designers and will update this post when I get something that I can help you with. Thanks!!
     
  4. Haven't had too much time yet to play this since I just recently got it, but I have to say the graphics are gorgeous, and like the fantasy anime theme. I really look forward to getting this game and playing it!

    Awesome! I love the game but I'm almost ashamed to say I didn't finish it because of the tap to move - but that's just my preference. I'd love a D Pad.

    Apparently this game now supports ipod touch 4g (even 3g) according to the appstore. has anyone played this on a ipod touch 4g? how is the performance and how much of a graphic downgrade is it compared to the iphone 4s and above?

    I had tried this on my iPod touch 4g about a week ago and performance was really poor. Downloaded again since picking up my 5G and am disappointed. The game is running in low resolution with low res textures and. Barely any shadows.

    Hoping the developer updates now that the 5g's are out... :(

    Found something that may make it more difficult to sell the game. I went to the App Store and searched for 'Horn'. Oh my...so many horn apps for making squeaks and squawks! The game was NOT anywhere close to the top of the list.

    Next searched for Zynga, only because I happen to know they published the game. Did find Horn, but again, nowhere near the top of the list. I had to really work to find the game! A top tier AAA game should be easy to find.

    Thank you. I haven't touched this game yet in weeks. Am at W3 L3. New controls + more content = waiting for update :)

    PS: I think, like most people here say, a D-Pad will just solve the problem. A stick on the left to move, and right thumb pans the camera. Perfect. Just make sure the controls are responsive, especially the movement controls. Try to emulate a dynamic d-pad like in Dead Trigger. Semi transparent as well.

    I second this. This game should play as it should on the iPod Touch 5G(i.e. as the iPhone 4S). Well until then I won't be buying this game. And after I waited so long for the 5G. I am disapointed!:(

    Finally started playing this game on my iPhone 5. While I really wish it would use the whole screen, I'm really loving the game. I think this will make it into my top five if it continues as it has so far. I would have had Dark Meadow on that list if not for... You know. All things considered, the Phosphor folks really can make a good game.

    Wow, this sucks. After so much of hope, the developers still have not implemented some alternative controls scheme.

    I think I'm done with the game will now delete it as it was taking too much space lying idle on my device.
