You have to remember that it IS a LARGE download of 1.01 GB, so it is expected to take awhile. But I can Promise you it is worth the wait.

Ok, I have it installed to both my iPhone 4 and my iPad. On the iPhone 4 it looks gorgeous. On the iPad, less so. But, it seems to run faster on the iPad... But, on the iPad the hints seem to be stuck on, and I cannot get rid of them. I have the Hint on Idle slider all the way to never, but they are there instantly when I reach a location.

Dang, I was kind of hoping that this version wouldn't have the jarring "brightness jumps" whenever a video starts or ends. I would love the option to turn off the skip button during videos, and the hotspot hints, pretty much forever, since I seem to have a tendency to move my iPod in a way that triggers the hotspots fairly often.

Other than that it does seem to look and play pretty nice. It's like having the PC version right there on the iPod, which is pretty impressive.

It runs perfectly on my iPod! I used earphones, and even the intro gave me chills.

I noticed one difference with the PC version already: the waves don't move. In the original version you had some pixels moving up and down giving the impression of moving waves.

I haven't moved off Temple Island yet, I'll save the game for later, but it looks very good.

The lack of a "waves" effect is unfortunate, but I still bought it. I'm so excited, and this download plus sync will make me late for work...

Gorgeous! Pre-rendered graphics are still good, eh?

In Options you can turn the interface buttons slider to hide and the skip movie button will be pretty much invisible but still usable

if the hotspots are coming up you must be doing a shake of sorts LOL. . .

You know… It'd be pretty neat to do a giant "fissure jump" event to celebrate. I don't have the time to get a Relto set to do it, but anybody else who wants to host one, go right ahead!

I figured out why the hotspots were coming up and staying up. It has to do with the way I was holding it. If you keep the iPad with it's back parallel to the floor, the hotspot hints are gone. If you hold the iPad with it's back perpendicular to the floor, the hotspots turn on, and stay on.

I just checked, the iPhone does it too, but it has to be held at a pretty unnatural angle for it to occur. With the iPad, it was happening because I was laying down with the iPad resting on my stomach. It's very easy for this to occur on the iPad, very difficult on the iPhone.

Good debugging IM. Thanks!

Hmmm, why do I have the feeling the Cyan QA department is going to be requisitioning some cots.

Thanks,

I have to agree that it looks really good on iPhone! But not on iPad. Compared to the computer-version, it does not look as good as it should. Hope cyan can implement better resolution for iPad also, not just iPhone 4...
