    Savant - Ascent isn't a port guys. It was supposed to be out on everything at the same time, but things happened.

    As for you guys wondering about the Humble Bundle version. Ummm...if you buy the PC version, you get pretty much every single version of the game, iOS excluded. If you buy it now, you can get the Android version too. ;)
     
  2. Just some suggestions.

    1. Rename aim reticle to vstick or virtual joystick.
    2. Add a left handed mode
    3. Add a no shake option for smoother framerates.
    4. Add autorotation
    5. Make get disc button lower on the ipad close to the move button

    Thanks.

    New controls are great.

    Is Sanuku going to revise his rating for this game? I almost didn't bother with it when I saw he rated it 1 star until I read the recent comments.

    That's smart. Ports should be in their own category.

    I dunno if turning off the sound makes the game difficult. Most of the time the enemy comes off-screen and I die fast.

    Again, as usual, adding iCade support would be nice.

    I don't wanna ruin the game for people who haven't been playing it much, but the whole "enemies come from off-screen" thing is a huge part of the gameplay and if you're collecting golden discs, you won't really be having problems with that in the long-run. Just stick with it and you'll know what I mean. ;)

    Is it the pale purple with the huge V on it that cant fit as the V is larger than the icon image boundaries? Coz that's what i have and well, it's ugly. I ddnt mind it earlier coz im just glad the game now works and it's fantastic, but now that im looking at it...

    WE NEED A NEW FIXED ICON.

    Bought it, beat it, love it, want more (but do enjoy endless/time trial).

    I've only made it to the third level once, and that was before I had all four power-ups. Any tips from those who've finished the game? Thanks in advance for any advice.

    On the first form of the boss make sure to have at least one power shot charged to divert the worm enemies it spawns. Attack the orb then power shot the enemy to divert it, only when neccissary. It's second form can only be damaged with power shots.
    Hope that helps.

    I have kind of the opposite problem. I have completed the base game, but I only have three of the CDs. Can those be picked up in timed or endless?

    My only real tip is versus the horrible worm things. Save your power shots for them.

    Glad this game was finally released again this week... so far, I'm really enjoying it. And the soundtrack is epic. My GotW

    Also: We need a better installed icon ASAP!

    It's funny how people care so much about icons. I guess I get it -- you want your iPhone or iPad to look all pretty.

    But with games like this, the icon could be a picture of dog crap and I would still want to keep it (most likely) forever because the game rocks! LOL.

    Would you recommend Savant on IOS or PC? I'm probably on my phone more, but it would probably run smoother on my laptop than on my iPhone 4

    Not sure how it runs on an iPhone 4. Runs perfect on my 4S.

    IF it does run well, I'd say get the iOS version because I used to think the PC version was better. Now, I love this version WAY more. The controls are just excellent.

    Maybe someone with an iPhone 4 can chime in.

    Is there no more cds than 4? Kinda disappointed. How come online playthroughs I see people with like 6 lives or something? And I only have 3? What gives? That makes the last bost so much easier instead of relying on 3 lives.

    I beat the game with 3 life and unlimited lives/retries. After you beat the game, it unlocks 3 additional modes. Not sure where 6 lives comes from.
