    us of a
    I just wanted to drop in to say that this game runs fairly well on my iPad 3. I was even more surprised to find that my battery wasn't dead in two hours. I ended up deleting it from my iPhone 5S because I prefer playing on my iPad. The game loaded lower res textures so I'm getting solid frame rates while also enjoying a "cooler" device. The bigger screen is also quite nice. I was honestly surprised when I loaded up the game for the first time on iPad, since I'm running iOS 7.x and it's older hardware. I'm having a blast!

    I've played on pc for many years, squeezing out every frame I could get while monitoring the framerate with tools. It's still guessing on my side...I guess. I said around 15fps which means for the most part I've played it, could be 18 or 17, too. Doesn't make any huge difference to me cuz as soon as it drops below 25 it gets unplayable imo. Right after the start at the beach it felt extremely smooth and I was happy but then as I walked up the hill it became very laggy. A little wulf killed me because I wasnt able to aim accurately due to the low framerate.
    I don't complain at all, cuz the description clearly says that it's optimised for Metal, which my device doesn't support. That's also the reason why I wont rate it cuz I think it's surely great on higher end devices for which the game was clearly made for.

    Hard reset, but try just shutting it down first. Like I said, it runs great now. Before, I couldn't even go near or in the water at the beach without it lagging really bad.

    Would like the feature to disable tutorial too.
    Can someone upload pic showing differences between Metal enabled devices compared to non enabled devices ? would like to see what im missing.
    It already looks good on my iPad 4, no lag, have fallen leaves etc too like someone here said. But with Metal I guess it must be awesome.

    Playing explorer mode, first night , I did not know how to craft fire yet so ended in total darkness of nowhere, then I look up and wow... Starry night, awesome

    Trying to import my iPhone 5 save to the iPad Air. I'm getting the error message: iCloud can not be reached, please try again later. It already didn't work yesterday and iCloud works in other games.

    I see many comment about it's amazing value, how it's price is low compared to the value they got etc. This is def good for "premium" games. Delivering games that exceeded people's expectations based on the price.

    I found the code for the Central Tower.
    But I'm only gonna share it on the Radiation Island Fan Club page on Facebook ;) : https://www.facebook.com/groups/608882895877849/?fref=nf

    Great for information on all of Atypical's games:
    Atypical(Revo) has made a bunch of Class A games, and a vast "Revoverse" has evolved around them, with the hubs of the Revoverse being the Fan Pages that the the Revo (Atypical) Beta Group creates and manages. The Fan Pages each have hundreds of members, and are alive with banter, tips, and developer/Beta Group interactions. Very valuable for fans of these games. Here's a list of the pages in the Revoverse, though there are many other player-made pages for the squadrons and brigades that have developed from their Sky Gamblers combat flying games, and their tank game Battle Supremacy:

    I've been playing on my iPad 3 for months without controllers, and I think the controls are fine. I have had no problems at all.

    How come it's unplayable for you?

    I think it's like an incredible game but I have a few problems I have it's very hard to maneuver the controls are very difficult. After a couple hours of playing I'm still having a difficult time moving around

    And the sliding

    And haven't found recipe for Iron Pickaxe (but that's sort of my problem:))

    Well, you know from reading back a few pages that a fix for sliding is coming. [EDIT: the update is now available.]

    As for the tools, select the item in the Crafting menu, and it will tell you what prerequisites you have to collect or craft in order to craft that item.
