I submitted a set of fixes for the base-building and random crash issues. I'm going to get an expedited review request for the new version as well. Many apologies; these snuck in at the last minute. Don't give up on SPACE quite yet!
Oh, I just realized this is a Metal only game. Maybe show that as a pop up immediately on a non-Metal device?
Woah... So much praise outside the crash complaints. Im glad the devs have pulled through and submitted a fix. Looking forward to the update then.
It's not metal-only, it's just optimized for metal. (it's a sly way of saying "performance/stability on older devices might not be great"). Turns out stability on any device is not great. BUT NOT FOR LONG. SPACE.
"Might not be great" and borderline unplayable aren't the same thing. I didn't face a single crash on my device, so the issue wasn't stability. It was performance.
I'd think one without metal capable devices should hold judgement until after the obviously needed patch, eh?
Except the patch is going to be a "set of fixes for the base-building and random crash issues", not performance for non-metal devices. The only thing the dev has to say about non-metal performance optimization is "BUT NOT FOR LONG", however that is not the next update. Also, SPACE. Because that really helps the conversation.
It may not be this upcoming, emergency, update. But the dev has shown that he's aware of the problem and will be fixing it. I'm not really sure what else you can ask for?
The only thing I asked for was a simple pop-up that tells you the game is only optimized for metal devices. The response you quoted was about judging the game based on a nebulous performance update that currently has no deadline instead of on the current state.
I've misunderstood completely, sorry man no offence meant. Update: just got the update! It's fixed everything and now works beautifully! Thank you! (There are still frame rate drops for me in the start screen, but they don't have any lasting effect once I've entered the game)
It seems not to crash now with the updated, at least in my 10 minute playing time, but now spaceships and asteroid I destroy don't drop any loot/coins/health. Not sure if this is intentional, it started happening after the "destroy menace" tutorial mission.
Hrm, that's a new one. I'll look into it for the next patch (which will be a bit further out since it's going to attempt to address performance as well).
I have the update and now it's crashing differently. I'll destroy an asteroid and I can hear sounds but the screen is completely locked up. And it keeps happening. I cannot play. I'm using the IPhone 5s 64 gig with the latest firmware and update for the game. Billy
Yay, space is still highly broken. I want to like this but the constant glitches and disfunctionality along with corny onscreen dialogue is very disenchanting. Thumb in the way controls are lackluster also. Boo.
This latest patch has eliminated the crashing. It doesn't run flawlessly on my mini 2 - latest version iOS 8 - but it's certainly very playable. Really liking this so far.
