Excessive Greed
11/08/2023

_Beetlebub_
Yury I paid money for OF and now it’s gone, and in its stead is this greedy app that demands payments left and right. I’m extremely disappointed. I was hoping one day you’d port experimental. Don’t get me wrong in this money hungry world this isn’t the worst that’s been done but it’s still makes me angry that you removed OF. You could’ve kept it and worked on it still, it was like an amalgamation of all your hard work. This just feels like a step backwards. I’ve been here since you dropped OE man, you’ve really been satisfying my need for CDDA for years, and now I might have to do my own ports just to get what I’m looking for.

Thank you for your review. Well, there were no updates to 0.F and 0.E, because, well, they are fixed versions, they were meant to freeze. Also I wasn't developing the way the app is ported further, because I'm not playing the game anymore for a coupe of years, so I'm not interested in it. Also I wasn't interested in delivering 0.G, for same reasons. At the same time I understand that there are people that are interested in those and no other person in this world provides such a thing. So I found a tiny bit of motivation in a thought that maybe some income will keep me updating the game. Otherwise the update won't ever come at all. Also I've removed older versions because Apple already was saying that there are too many of them. I'll try(upd: actually done that in a minute: easier than I thought it would be) to return them though, because I get that people that bought them in past and upgrades their devices won't be able to install them anymore.So it is a dilemma: to quit updating the stuff and make people sad or to deliver the update asking for money and make people angry. I've chosen the latter, because there are people who will be happy about it.

Best CDDA Port for Apple
09/16/2024

While this is without any doubts the best option for playing CDDA on an apple device, there does seem to be an issue on my device with the game consistently crashing while exploring unexplored map areas, hoping that’ll be fixed in the next update.When it comes to the topic of subscription pricing other users are leaving negative reviews for, I personally don’t mind and believe the price fair despite having bought previous versions of the game from Apollov. The App Store charges prices akin to extortion from smaller publishers for “hosting” their apps on a monthly basis, not to mention that it can be difficult to motivate oneself to maintain said apps when they’re an independent developer.

Developer Response
Hey, thank your warm words. It means really much to me! As for the crash while exploring... I was experiencing this bug now and then while playing the game both desktop and mobile, and AFAICS it went worse with time. There's nothing I can do about it, because the circumstances of this happening are unknown, besides the fact it just happens time to time, and I'm not deep into the game code enough to suspect any part of it. More frequent auto saves should make life a bit better.

This game is complex and incredible. One of the best roguelikes out there but takes some time to get used to the controls.The port works quite well once you get used to it, but it could use more regular updates. Assuming the updates are continuing I see no issue with the subscription fee. Also, the page down and page up controls are not set by default so you need to change them to something that works such as 3 and 9. Finally, a sound pack would be nice I was disappointed there were no sound effects.Thanks for bringing this to iOS!

Options not saving for graphics / terminal

for whatever reason the game constantly restores terminal size and window settings afterrestart.cant use borderless or fullscreen. cant adjust terminal size to actually be abletosee more of the information in menus and descriptionsThe game is great, which is why I subscribed to have it on iPhone also, but this issue makes it hard to enjoy it properly. Hopefully this can be resolved. Spent a lot of time making a custom micro keyboard configuration with xkeyboard to play this and then discovered this graphic options issue. Bummer

Thank you for your review. I'll take a look: I thought this issue was resolved long ago, but appears it’s not.
