Horn™ by Zynga/Phosphor Games (Universal)

[MicroByte]

I had tried this on my iPod touch 4g about a week ago and performance was really poor. Downloaded again since picking up my 5G and am disappointed. The game is running in low resolution with low res textures and. Barely any shadows.

Hoping the developer updates now that the 5g's are out...

Found something that may make it more difficult to sell the game. I went to the App Store and searched for 'Horn'. Oh my...so many horn apps for making squeaks and squawks! The game was NOT anywhere close to the top of the list.

Next searched for Zynga, only because I happen to know they published the game. Did find Horn, but again, nowhere near the top of the list. I had to really work to find the game! A top tier AAA game should be easy to find.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will check out Bard's Tale!

We have not given up on Horn yet and still have some new content on the way.

Thank you. I haven't touched this game yet in weeks. Am at W3 L3. New controls + more content = waiting for update

PS: I think, like most people here say, a D-Pad will just solve the problem. A stick on the left to move, and right thumb pans the camera. Perfect. Just make sure the controls are responsive, especially the movement controls. Try to emulate a dynamic d-pad like in Dead Trigger. Semi transparent as well.

I second this. This game should play as it should on the iPod Touch 5G(i.e. as the iPhone 4S). Well until then I won't be buying this game. And after I waited so long for the 5G. I am disapointed!

Finally started playing this game on my iPhone 5. While I really wish it would use the whole screen, I'm really loving the game. I think this will make it into my top five if it continues as it has so far. I would have had Dark Meadow on that list if not for... You know. All things considered, the Phosphor folks really can make a good game.

The update just added iPhone5 support!

Yeah, I am going to play it tomorrow. Wonder what the update is all about.

Wow, this sucks. After so much of hope, the developers still have not implemented some alternative controls scheme.

I think I'm done with the game will now delete it as it was taking too much space lying idle on my device.

That's a shame.
