    1. Does this mean that an iphone 4s will be unable to see the new grass or that it just wont run as well

  3. Still wondering why this was released for just iOS, when that is a minority market share. Is Android just that hard to program on, or what?

    1. iOS is much easier/faster in terms of resources, especially for a game like ours.
      Plus roughly half of Android devices won't be able to run the game at all, so even the share difference is not that huge.

    2. Ah, ok, thanks for the insight. I hope you do have plans to eventually come over.

  4. As it's possible to modify files that change graphics of the game, which graphics mode will grass be on? 0 being the lowest and 3 being the highest

    1. There is a glitch. Taken from the editor, not the game.

  8. Why can't you add grass effects for iPad 4 and IPhone 5 , they both run game at stable 60 FPS ?

    1. They both failed performance tests with the new grass. Shader performance is not that great on previous gen.
