Hi Anouk.
I have just bought Ticonblu's games on Ios with the release of their bundles
so was interested in your comments. Thus far, from their games I've played
the main problem I've found with their interfaces is a lack of explanation,
and an occasional freezing bug, but nothing I'd describe as horrible.
It is true that the finger tap system to cycle objects and actions is slow,
but I didn't find it any worse than something like Chillingham or Time
adventures on the pc, and the main problem is the use of a single command to
cycle menue objects and another to accept.
While there are certainly better things you could do on Ios particularly,
like letting you run a finger across the screen to scroll the objects faster
and double tap to accept, the slowness I didn't find too bad, and I
actually quite enjoyed the object finding in She Noire sinse it was far more
interesting than just scrolling through stuff, although I do wish the
objects you found related to the inventory and connected the story a little
better.
Lack of correct instructions is a problem, for example in Inquisitor's
heartbeat it seemed to move in the four directions you actually need to
swipe with one finger in the corresponding direction not touch the screen,
but I suspect at least some of this could be a bad translation issue.
I'd agree that The bugginess and occasional freezing is more of a pest,
though I noticed that the first inquisitor game became less buggy after the
update, so hopefully it'll get a fix in the future.
The only game I have a really major hassle with the interface of is audio
speed, which to be honest I would not have bought had it not come with the
bundle along with She noire (which I did want), and worked out cheaper,
sinse the tracking of tilts doesn't seem good. I've heard though the
mechanics there are sort of a universal problem whether on pc oc, mac or
Ios, and more fixes are planned, so I'm willing to reserve judgement there
or at least to believe that the control issue is more a problem with the
game over all than one specific to Ios, ---- plus Racing games are hardly my
favourite anyway even space themed ones.
Any thoughts?
Dark.Take them to the refirbished chamber that was once bad!
