Very nice.

 

Ran without a hitch on my galaxy victory 4glte

 

well polished. graphics look nice and the text problem I had in poke the bubble doesn't happen here.

[AhmedElyamani]

That's great , thanks Ben

It because its just white so it won't matter if the browser switches the red channel with the blue one.

Does it load properly?

Tested on an iPad 1 (safari, iOS 5), some thoughts:

- About 10% of the bottom of the game seems to be cut off

- each level select button seem to be chopped off at the bottom

- the 'back' and 'replay' buttons seem to overlap the gameplay area as if they just need to be moved up a bit

- the drag movement of blocks feels a bit off, as if the registration point is only on one part of it. Sometimes a block will not move when dragged, other times it will move without being controlled

- visually it's quite flat/dull. Maybe the background or target blocks could offset the brown a bit?

Thanks for the reply!

 

1. If you mean the board of the game , it's meant to do that , but if you mean the actual play area , I'd like a screenshot please.

2. I will fix this , Thanks for point it out!

3.Will do.

4.I fear I can't make anything better than this to run smoothly on lower FPs , like on the iPod , if I run too much fps it will not be better  , but worse.

5.I'll see what I can do

on point 4 - it's not an fps issue, it runs smooth enough as it is.  The problem seems to be that the block will slide left or right even if I have not actively dragged it, it seems to depend on where I initially touch the block.  Similiarly - sometimes the bock will not move even though I have dragged it a bit (and at other times it will appear to judder back and forth a bit as if can't decide which side to go!)

Thanks a lot for the screenshots. I've always though the iPad had a resolution of 640*960 , I was wrong.

 

You are absolutely correct about the other point too , I will fix it.

 

[EDIT] why isn't the address bar hidden?

[mentuat]

address bar doesn't hide on an iPad

address bar doesn't hide on an iPad

 

Oh , well , never heard of that.

 

Is there actually anyway I can use to hide the address bar on the iPad ?

[mentuat]

sorry I should have clarified a bit better - as far as I'm aware there is no way to hide the address bar in safari on an iPad with any version of iOS unless you make the webpage a 'webapp' (by adding some metatags to the html) and the user selects 'add to home screen'.  Obviously it's not reasonable to expect the user to do this - so I would work under the assumption that the address bar will never be hidden.
