Can you also look into health packs not doing anything to heal? Not sure if it’s just an iPhone X issue but they literally do nothing. Have died several times because of it.
I prefer using the dedicated teleport button (which should also disable the double tap gesture; after all, I enabled this button to avoid undesired teleporting) and I could use a similar button for abilities, too, since aiming abilities and double tapping may be quite difficult, like I found myself throwing plasma discs or using the sword attack (LOVE IT) in an opposite direction to enemies sometimes. This button could be located above the movement stick, pretty much the opposite to the teleport one. Too much action and visual effects at once, make the game stutter, even on not-so-old devices like the iPhone 8. It's a fun game, nonetheless, and it can only get better! A physical controller is not mandatory, but the experience could be greatly increased with one (I remember playing Crimsonland with one and it was awesome). I think it's an iPhX issue. I've been healed when I picked them up, using an iPhone 8.
Amazing game but I agree, too much stutter, even on iPhone Xs Max. I actually sent a video about this to [email protected], hoping they solve this small issue asap so I can continue the fun.
Just to confirm, is this game a rogue like of sorts or is it a forward moving progression game? Way too many rogue like top down shooters these days, so can't be too sure
It's a forward moving progression arena shooter. Have you played 10tons' own Crimsonland? This is the closest game of theirs to it.
Ran great on my 8plus in the test and no issues evident in the release so far. My settings are below:
But of course. I don't recall hearing about this before, so its sounds like a rare bug. Nevertheless, we'll look into it. The game is rather difficult without health packs. I believe we have some idea why the game stutters on the newest devices, and we hope to address that in the next update.
Could you please Just to be sure as i was confused at first: Do you mean the ring around your character not showing heal? I was staring at the red bar in the upper left not seeing any healing and then realized the ring is my health
Resizable (or smaller) buttons for iPad would make this stellar. No other issues, really fun one—more—time game
Must be something related to my iOS version (11.3.1), but others reported it, too. And it's not like constant stuttering, more like frame skipping, just at times when there's too much action going on and visual effects. I have the same settings as yours. Yeah, that's how they manage health in their games, Crimsonland, Neon Chrome, JYDGE, you name it. I can imagine you like "WTH, the more I kill these guys, the more HP I lose!" hahaha

I apologize, I didn’t catch that you were on 11.3.3. I’m on 12.01 currently, but did test through a couple of iOS versions. Regardless, 10tons will fix the issue, if it can be fixed. I’ve tested for them for years, and their support is some of the best out there.
I'm actually more concerned about the double tapping on virtual sticks and hoping for the addition of a dedicated ability button, than improving performance. After all, as I said before, it's not like a permanent/persistent issue but something that happens at times of heavy action. Also, if it gets too bad, lowering quality settings should do the trick and reduce the chance of performance being affected until an update patches it. In terms of iOS, "I can't" update to a more recent version at the moment and it's not like I'd do that for improving performance of a single game. It's just not worth losing the benefits my current version offers me and many other games work properly anyway. It's amazing you got the chance to test this game before official release! I was super hyped when the release date was finally defined and, so far, I've enjoyed the game.
Hi 10tons, I am currently playing the game on my iphone 5. The game runs well on low settings on the first two tutorial. However, the fps drops to like 5-10fps in the tutorial mission where I faced my first cthulu. Can you please check on this issue ?
I believe the game is more friendly for iPhone 6s later devices, even my iPhone 7 plus need to set low quality for 60 FPS all the time.
If I want to set it to medium on my iPhone7 plus, I need to turn off every effect in performance like post-processing, Bloom, FXAA and some effects in gameplay like gore and screen shake, then the game will stay in 60 FPS 80% of the time, but the game was still lag in 2 situations: 1. Too many monsters in the screen and 2. Nuke bomb exploded, hope it help developer to optimize the game.
