Hey guys, help me out? :)

Hey folks,

So MANOS just got it's second update approved. Firstly the iOS Exporter caused the app to crash on launch in iOS6, so I put out an immediate update with a newer version of the exporter to rectify the crash. That update, however, caused a crash in iOS5, again, an iOS Exporter issue as well as some unforeseen iPad control issues. Then I couldn't do any more expedited reviews, so it had to wait a week for Apple to approve the update.

As sweet as it is of the users to let me know about the crashes, the sheer number of 1 star reviews to make me aware of the issues has taken my average rating down from 5 stars to 2. Unfortunately there was just not much that I could do about the two crashes until CT updated the exporter. So guys, I would be forever in your debt if you can log in and pop a 5 star review on the latest release of MANOS for me?

If you let me know in here and link to your games, I will be sure to provide a positive review in return.

Sure!
The average rating of 2 stars is that in the UK or US App Store?

US I believe, as that's what it shows on TouchArcade for the app store average.

In the US, it shows as 4.5 in iTunes

Ah wait, it must be TouchArcade's own review rating. Thank gawd for that. Disregard this thread guys! But do let me know if you want a review on your game for support.

I updated and submitted a 5 star before your last post! haha!
Ah well, every little helps ;^)

That reminds me in a round about way... i mentioned "iPhone 5 support would be highly appreciated" on my review.
Any plans for that DistantJ?
I wasnt very good at the game before, but now with a larger screen i'm utterly rubbish (i miss the controls an awful lot!)

I'll buy the game and rate it

EDIT: rated =)

Thinking about it. Unfortunately it would need some levels redesigning because boss rooms, non-scrolling areas etc. are all designed around the 3:2 ratio so changing the screen size breaks them. :-/

Ah, fair point.
Well, it would certainly be a very welcome update if you do end up going with it :^)

Its really weird but i'm finding any games that have borders at the sides really mess me up. I guess my thumbs are programmed to the distance from the edge of the device!
I really didn't think it'd be an issue when i first heard about it.

Be sure that tonight when I come to home I'll buy and rate 5 stars for you with the login "sdiasbernardo"..

Best regards

really hating what apple did with the iphone 5 screen resolution. Messes stuff up a lot.

I completely agree. But dealing with apple products is a walk in the park compared to androids I'll bet. :P
I currently refuse to update to iOS 6, Im sure it has broken something in my apps too. I know Im going to have to do it eventually though...

I actually really like iOS6, it's only the maps that suck... But I agree that the iPhone 5 ratio change was unnecessary and annoying. Not just for developers but also for users who will have to deal with pillarboxed/letterboxed apps until they get updated. It was all just to keep up with Android really, since Android manufacturers keep boasting about their screen sizes and all, it was them trying to keep it level, but honestly I think phones should stay small, a lot of these huge Android phones are ridiculous, and I've never had a problem with the 3:2. In fact, they had to add full screen web browsing so the iPhone 5 doesn't have a really cramped in view of the websites. The only real advantage I can see is that games can push their buttons to the sides so that the user's fingers don't obscure as much of the content. I would say widescreen movies but who really watches movies on their phone?? =/

I mean, Apple have always been about consistency, which is why the iPad Mini only has 1024x768 resolution, so that it keeps consistent with the big iPads by just having half the detail, rather than going for something like 1280x960, so I was really surprised when the iPhone 5 showed the new aspect ratio. Not all apps will get updated either, considering many apps still don't even support the iPhone 4 retina display.

I bought you game and I'm having a lot fun! amazing!
