Ha ha... sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,936 0 0 #5 sapphire_neo, Jul 4, 2011 On the iPad you have to run the game on 2x, which causes pixellation. Universal builds have hi-res resources meant specifically for the iPad.

Weird.... chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #8 chess, Jul 4, 2011 Amused that folks are thinking about pixelation with this particular game. Fun game...hard to wrap your head around one direction though. It feels so much like a Mario, that I often instintively try to hit the left d-pad...resulting in...well, you know. Of the two, I think I like Air Supply 1-bit better. ak47killa Well-Known Member Feb 26, 2011 642 0 0 #9 ak47killa, Jul 4, 2011 Yes, I agree I like Air Supply much better and its free. yemi Well-Known Member Feb 3, 2011 454 0 0 #10 yemi, Jul 4, 2011 I love the in game unlockable achivements in air supply 1-bit runner. This game was $1.99 for a week and now 99 cents. Developers need to stop putting games on sale that fast , wait at least 6 months. kimdoocheol Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2011 78 0 0 #11 kimdoocheol, Jul 4, 2011 I bought it because I remember reading the developer had no intention of ever putting it on sale. Definitely not this soon, that is for sure Snake Eater Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2011 223 0 0 #12 Snake Eater, Jul 4, 2011 if they can make some money on a holiday sale why not? the only people I have seen complain about price drops are the ones who bought the game at a higher price ninjackid Well-Known Member May 27, 2010 9,380 2 38 #13 ninjackid, Jul 4, 2011 Yes!!! BOUGHT!!! ak47killa Well-Known Member Feb 26, 2011 642 0 0 #14 ak47killa, Jul 4, 2011 What Im pissed about is that the game was over-hyped. Its wasn't as good as I thought it could be. Didn 't mind paying 2 bucks. But now its just collecting dust. Mr. Grizzly Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 1,407 0 36 #15 Mr. Grizzly, Jul 5, 2011 Not trying to be inconsiderate, but how can people compare a platformer with an endless runner?!? They are not the same type of games, so saying one is better than the other is kind of pointless. MidianGTX Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2009 3,738 10 38 #16 MidianGTX, Jul 5, 2011 No it wasn't, you just happened not to like it. Good job not appreciating a quality game. ASB Well-Known Member Dec 31, 2009 437 0 0 #17 ASB, Jul 5, 2011 Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I agree with ak47killa, it is over-hyped by the people that really like it. It is a pretty good game, it's just not as great as people say it is. chess Well-Known Member Jun 17, 2011 436 0 0 #18 chess, Jul 5, 2011 Both "1-bit" and both on sale the same day. I think it's natural to compare. Whether that's fair or not, I couldn't say, but I wish I could get my dollar back and give it to the dude who made Air Supply. burn Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 746 0 0 Sys Admin #19 burn, Jul 5, 2011 I've had my eye on this game since it was announced. Glad I waited to get it and looking forward to playing it. I've heard all of the bad reviews from the other forum members but I've wanted it for so long that I just had to get it. I also got Air Supply, which Slide To Play only gave a 2 star review but it was free so there's no loss there. lena Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2011 1,049 0 36 #20 lena, Jul 5, 2011 I think it is great. You can disagree of course, but that doesn't mean I "overhype". I think it is very hard to argue that this game is overhyped here on TA, it is more the opposite: the game is overcritized. The thread about the game is full of haters, much more so than in most threads of games that otherwise get good reviews. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
