Quick question . . .

Is there a recommend size limit for iPad games . . . and what would limit the games size ?



Cheers for any clues.

    The clue is: Rice Pudding.

    I knew there would be a rice based dessert limitation to iPad games, but I need numbers, numbers !!

    The only size limitation is the same for iPhone. If you want to download over 3g it needs to be under 20MB.

    @mynameisace LOL

    Cheers for the reply tenrdrmer.
    Is that an Apple recommendation - ie: if you game is over 20MB then they are unlikely to approve it ?

    No they will approve any size you submt. It just will not be downloadable over 3g. It will require a wifi connection.

    Got it, that makes sense, cheers for the info.

    Right, let's get back to work on my 32GB version of tic-tac-toe. : )

    In all seriousness, I'll hopefully be under 20MB (a kids book I am working on) - I was just worried about the voice over, need to work out the best way to keep the memory down.

    One more question . . . .

    Does making a game Wi-fi only (ie: over 20MB) impact on a games success/sales as far as anyone knows ?

    Opinions . . . ?

    New clue: Beef Wellington

    Only joking :)

    Nope, not really. I have had similar results with both, although I do still try and keep to under 20MB.

    Except with iPad, most users have wi-fi only iPad's anyway.
