Orbital makes me sad -- I have all these other great iPhone games, but it's been WEEKS since I touched them!
On my 3GS, I'm seeing distracting drops in framerate ... the sweep of the cannon is not smooth! It will "stutter" -- sometimes more, sometimes just a little. I can't pinpoint any particular cause... battery is fully charged, music is NOT playing in the background, etc. Maybe it's background processes like email or push, but I don't think so ... the stutter is frequent (I notice it every game, now), and I can't be checking *that* much email! Suggestions? Rebooting does not seem to help. The game's still 100% playable, but it distracts (and occasionally makes me miss shots... yeah, that's my excuse!). p.s. Is it safe to assume the leaderboards were hacked? 535 and 346, really?
You could try playing with wifi switched off and try. Also if you are playing while connected to a battery source you could try playing without it. And I think the leaderboard has been hacked!
I didn't test extensively, but switching to "Airplane Mode" (all wireless/radios off) seems to have 100% fixed my framerate/video stutter issue. That won't be a good day-to-day option, but it's a starting point for troubleshooting!
Are there plans to implement suggestions/add new features? The game is pretty great as is, and I can't think of too many additions other than the ones mentioned. Just wondering if we've heard whether the developer has plans?
This is one of my favorite games on the iPhone. Great to just pull out and play. Fun to play with a friend across a restaurant table as well.
