    I really want this but the file size is to big for a "quick twitch" game.. In my opinion of course

    That's the difference from other games you think this one is similar that this game has a lot much to play, its not just a quick twitch game

    Yeah, score mode in particular is something new.

    Proun file size

    The size is pretty big due to the many hires textures and hi-quality audio files. Reducing filesize would mean we use Apple texture compression, which will surely result in less sharp visuals. We are happy to hear what you guys prefer and we can work this out in an update.

    I prefer it just the way it is. Please don't change it! The music is especially great. Really dig the jazzy drums. And the graphics are so easy on the eyes. Looks like something out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. :)

    Anyone who really likes Proun+ should go nominate it for game of the week under Forums>General Game Discussion & Questions>Touch Arcade forums' Game of the Week (Nov 27). As far as I know, anyone with a TA membership can vote, from junior members, to senior members (not open to the actual game dev). Just a heads up.

    Any chance for this game to get at least local wifi or bluetooth multiplayer? I think it would be fun to race against my girlfriend.

    I love me some eye candy, so my knee jerk reaction is to say don't reduce the visual quality. But really it depends on how noticeable the difference would be. I played this years ago on PC and don't remember having a problem with the visuals, so I'm skeptical about whether the visuals are really enough nicer now to justify a 20x increase in size. Would be nice to see some full resolution screen shots to compare what it looks like now to how it would look if you compressed the assets a bit.

    gamepad support?

    Hi guys,

    We may look into the compression a bit more and probably get the game a bit smaller in an update, without losing quality.

    Another question we have for you guys: do you think it's a good idea to include gamepad support in the game? This is one of the new features we are considering.

    Regarding multiplayer: well, that is something we did think about, but it is quite a bit of work to get that in. So currently we plan to do that if the game remains selling okay :)

    I personally would LOVE gamepad support. Since getting a controller, I much prefer using it in games where it makes sense, over touch or tilt controls, especially in games which require a lot of precision like this one. That said, while there are some kinds of games I won't even bother playing on iOS unless they have controller support, this isn't one of them. While I'd prefer playing it with a controller, I think it works well enough without it. Also, from a developer point of view I have no idea how much bang for your buck you get by adding controller support, since I don't know what percentage of iOS gamers even have one. But if it's not a whole lot of work for you to add it, I'd definitely vote in favor.

    On the topic of compression, I love the game as is, wldnt want the visuals compromised just to squash it. Truly challenging game, love it.

    Since this has gone permanently free, what happens to those who purchased the game and update?
