I’ve been really enjoying reacquainting with this classic. My only frustration is that the controls get really wonky on my iPad every once in a while. I’ll be trying to navigate a level, and then the controls will pull to the left and I can’t stop or override them without quitting the game. Small frustration - tremendous satisfaction.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll take a look and try to fix this
The Legend Returns to iOS
Ajlenahan
I have been waiting for this game to be playable on iOS again for over a decade. The original Tyrian was released way back in the early days of the iPhone and iPad. I played this at a friend’s house as a kid, and then got to experience the full game on iOS in 2010. Unfortunately, the app stopped working when Apple stopped 32bit game support. Today, on a whim, I searched to see if someone may have rereleased it and was shocked to see that not only was it back on iOS, but that it’s the full Tyrian 2000 release. Thank you so much for bringing this game back to Apple devices. This game plays beautifully with a touch screen.A couple requests:1. Can the finger offset for direct touch be move to above the finger and not to the side? (Or just be given the option to change it.2. In its current form it seems to be stretched, as the original game was in 4:3. If we could get a 4:3 option that would be awesome.3. Lastly, I am right handed and would prefer an option to have the touch buttons be available on the left side of the screen as wellThanks again!

I wrote a review last month about how I expect a game like this to include controller support… well I just checked today and he’s added controller support a few weeks ago… incredible. I’m extremely impressed and recommend this timeless masterpiece to everyone, this being definitively the best way to play
