Well I have it running okay (if you're old-school and can tolerate a bit of slowdown) on my 2G Touch! It wouldn't even run on it at all before, was totally unplayable. So I'm getting there!
The problem is not exactly the slowdowns, but the ship that jump from point to point. Slowdowns are kinda ok in shooter, it helps to avoid bullets. The fact is that those are not really slowdowns, but more "jumps", and it gets kinda messy. Reached level 4 after another few tries
Hehe, yeah... I know what you mean... it's caused by the slowdown. But guess what?
IT'S BEEN FIXED!
The update is complete... I've just built an AD HOC test and I'll be testing it all night to make sure it's smooth throughout before releasing the update to the App Store. It plays nicer now... I guess I was just okay with the slowdown as I am a bit old-skool (and I was also SOOOO used to playing the game I guess I had just adjusted). I've even played through a couple of levels on the G2 iPod Touch! It slows a fair bit and I'd still recommend a 3GS+ but it IS playable on it
Anyway, with any luck the update will be added tonight. Any idea how long Apple take to approve updates?
To tell the truth, I really don't want people buying it until the update is out! Hopefully not too many people have bought it as I don't fancy 1 star reviews. LOL. The update makes a HUGE difference... can't believe I was happy with it before... must just be because I got used to the slowdown and knew how to play the game with it...
All sorted now though, and I bet EA and Gameloft etc don't release updates for their customers so quickly! LOL.
who cares about ea and gameloft... its all about money to them they only started developing games for the ipod cause they saw a market for it. your game represents a lost era in gaming. a current generation that hasnt had the pleasure of tasting. i hope it does really well. best of luck to you bro.
Just finished max vector! The last boss first version was easy, just staying in the up part of the screen, barely had to move the ship. Second version made everything veeery laggy, but in the end I got used to the "jump", and knowing the patterns, I moved before the biiig bullet spawn, and finally made it.
Really lol'd at the ending :°
Just out of curiosity, what's extreme mode? I'm not sure I'm clicking it. I tried lots of time, even with my nail, nothing happens. When finally something happen, the first level start, but everything seems like normal mode. Enemy health, continues, my health. Didn't really get past the first level though, I closed it after seeing that the enemies life was the same, gotta get some sleep
It just makes it tougher... no power ups! More old school... probably gonna take it out in an update though and replace it with "legacy" mode, which will be for older devices. I also found that in version 1.0 the extreme mode runs slower for some reason, really odd...
The slow-down has been rectified in the update but you've beaten the game already! lol.
Sometimes the viewer may be a bit off. The adhoc is EXACTLY how it will appear when people who download it and open your app, and the viewer doesent really show you how long the game takes to load, etc.

looks wicked though!

Just explain why you need it expedited and they should do it
