sadly the game currently seems to be broken, at least on my device. When you click Play it drops you into a tutorial mode which there's no way to exit. It used to work, so maybe the revamp has broken it

Would it be possible for you to take a video of what happens and email it to us at support@jakyl.co.uk? The pixel 8 is our primary test device (of more than 60 we test on) and so we have no idea what could be different about your device and we really need to be able to see what is happening visually for any clues. Thanks.
A+! 😎👍
had a five-star review for this game since 2012 (and have played it almost daily since then). HOWEVER, the recent update has completely changed the 'physics' of this game and it is now unplayable when compared to it's previous version. Very sad (imo). I get the game was due an update, but why make it so different to the original version? No longer able to do a 'full screen' capture during gameplay, even with the speed set to highest.. I'm really dissapointed

We haven't "changed the physics" (still Box2D v2.3), or indeed the graphics. That said, we note you are using a beta version of Android 16 and we are looking into issues around the way Android 16 "optimises" for battery (by capping frame rate). The latest build (4.0.3) has an option to force the game to 60fps max which you might find prevents this.
The last update erased all previous achievements and changed the gameplay for the worse. Far worse. It's eg far harder to make a circle trap now which beats the purpose. The experience has been ruined because the good old proverb "If it ain't broke don't fix it" has not been followed.

It seems your device is unlikely to be able to support the 144hz refresh. The latest build has an option to cap to 60fps. The original was made 15 years ago for two fixed aspect ratios. To suggest it didn't need updating is to stretch reality, PGS Achievements are preserved, but with todays screen sizes/form factors results in far higher scores.
Had a 5 out of 5 for over 12 years. The recent update has made it difficult to control and have reduced the entertainment value of playing the game.

You can change the sensitivity to suit your liking within the Settings menu: the previous version of the game didn't use the full screen, wasn't aspect correct & the sensitivity didn't take account of different screen sizes / form factors so really wasn't how it was supposed to be. Please email us if you'd like more help.

“Had this game since 2012, and it's always been on my short list of addictive, simple, yet tough to-master Android games.”
“The controls are simple, the enemies are simple and identifiable, but still challenging, and while the levels never change, the challenge is still there.”
“Looks amazing and sounds better.”
“It runs smooth and always feels fair, so there are no frustrating "the game bugged out" moments.”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
