Some people complain that it's too easy, even at the highest difficulty levels. What do you think of that?

I think there's always going to be some people who find certain games too easy. Especially if they're fanatics of the genre.

I thought CheeseMan was one of the most simple and easy platformers to hit the iOS, but for some reason, almost everyone else thought it was difficult as all getup...

What do you think of that? =oP

Doesn't really matter does it...

This is still one of the best, of not the best RTS on the iOS ATM.

Yeah, it matters, to me, that's why I asked the question. When you say it's the "best", I can't tell which aspects of the game are important to you. Are you happy with the game even though it's not at all challenging? Or do you find that it remains challenging even after playing it a lot?

I still find it entertaining and challenging after playing it quite a bit... But I'm not what I'd consider a hardcore RTS gamer. I know I'm not the best, and I don't care about being the best. But I love the genre, and love this game... And out of the 3 folders on my iPad full of strategy games... This one gets the most playtime.

But it really doesn't matter because it's just my opinion and taste... While yours is probably very different... So better to judge it yourself

No, the whole reason I read these forums is to find out about games, because I don't have the time or energy to try every one for myself. Of course everyone likes different things, but if people describe not only whether they like a game, but also what they like about it, I find that I can learn a lot about whether or not I will like it, without having to try every game for myself.

I think the crashes are isolated as I haven't had a lot of crash reports, I will be investigating myself soon though. The game will get an update for bug fixes within a few months, much sooner if the iPad 3 crash is happening a lot.

The game will not be updated with retina graphics as the game is 100% 2d, it would be a major undertaking to update it to retina graphics and I am not sure the iPad3 can even support the amount of memory it would take for all the sprites, there are over 8,000 of them in the game, and the game uses 120MB already at run time.
