Already an update out for performance tweaks!! Very happy with this and an update so soon will only make it super!
Good news for some, bad news for others: Spoiler it gets quite more challenging in the excellent atmospheric Desert Ruins This is only my point of view, of course.
Anybody have any thoughts on what are the best upgrades to grab first? There are so many to choose from!
I'd recommend upgrading the Dual Pistols and the Clue Booster at first. This is what got me to being able to get 18 relics in the "Jungle" levels so that I could proceed to the next chapter.
Always go for coins first. If you've got enough coins, you can upgrade anything. So, fully upgrade Coin Trails. With that, silver coins starts appearing during the quadbike ride, golden right after first encounter with T-Rex. You can earn over thousand coins with each regular run then.
After playing many hours, I think for weapons, prioritize dual pistols since they're unlimited (though the last upgrade requires diamonds). I tried the other weapons and I didn't find any as good as the pistols. The limited weapon I thought was worth upgrading was probably dual SMGs since it's the only weapon that allows rapid fire. For power ups, go for the coins to increase pay out and then clue booster length is the next important thing.
Devs please update so a swipe down results in an instant slide like every runner before this. As it stands if I jump and need to immediately get low bam face smash because this game does not register quick double swipes often.
The variety in this runner is amazing. I just landed on an airplane, flipped down multiple platforms only to resume my run in the opposite direction. Brilliant stuff!
^ Yup I agree. Also lots of animations for each area. For instance just an hour ago I got a new T-Rex scene. It's probably the coolest action scene yet! Spoiler I literally jumped on top of a dinosaur and rode it then jumped off.. wow.
Are there any news/rumors whether there are more travel destinations besides the Jungle Temple, Desert Ruins and Mountain Pass in the making?
I didn't experience any lag before update. The only occasional stuttering worth to mention was the very first run of the game when all the scenes needed to load up. But after latest update even this hiccup is gone, everything is perfectly smooth with no slowdowns whatsoever.
I don't like this game Lara run, and run, and run.... And nothing! I think the graphics it's ok, but frequently the game lag. This game not convinced me..
After update it runs smooth most of the time. Before update for me, it lagged a lot...especially at the worst times (ie: jumping, wall running, etc..). I'm on the iphone 6 plus.
Unfortunatelly i'm in your team, too. While i had no gamebreakable lags before, now, even after re-booting+starting my 5s 8.2, i encounter them still in my 15th run or so. Really hope for a next fast update, since i'm not done with this runner for quite some time. I haven't seen everything in the Desert yet, but i also look forward to the new snowy world, already. PS: Benvenuti LaraJellyB a bordo of Toucharcade! I had a little smile too after macplash's post. Hope you don't mind, specially since he's right.
