I’ve already bought most of the Plus games. The way I figure it, the version you bought is now the more permanent one, as games can leave AA and you may not want to pay for a subscription service forever. RealisticArcadeSimulator likes this.

So, cue my surprise at how great this feels in the hand and how much I like the water rendering. RealisticArcadeSimulator Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2018 158 38 28 #12 RealisticArcadeSimulator, Feb 11, 2023 Last edited: Feb 11, 2023 Awww...that's sweet that that you think that. The last update of this game was years ago, when I complained about a missing brake button. They fixed that, but when I asked them to do something about the lod popping trees they told me that they don't have time, maybe later...ofc it's the same till this day. So no, we don't have to worry about apple slapping on their wrist for slipping a goodie filled update to their paying costumers. I'm curious if the arcade version got fixed, or the trees still do the "popping into a different shape" thing...aaand there is no way to paste the link with a start point so just scrub to 6:15, sorry. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,715 1,240 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #13 squarezero, Feb 11, 2023 It still does that, though, to be honest, I never noticed it until you mentioned it . Essentially, the game has not been updated since the Switch version came out. My guess is that Vector Unit sees it as “done.” ZacBobisKing Active Member May 12, 2021 28 5 3 Male #14 ZacBobisKing, Feb 11, 2023 This is probably the most broken plus version I have played since Jetpack Joyride lol xd The game center integration is broken The iCloud is broken The game is so broken intact it will not appear in ur recently played games... DonnyDJ76 Well-Known Member Nov 1, 2011 1,793 58 48 Male Teacher Hackensack, NJ #15 DonnyDJ76, Feb 11, 2023 Riptide GP+ for AA, as well as Game Center are currently a hot mess. Hopefully, Apple will fix the issues. Chq Well-Known Member Jul 20, 2013 442 60 28 #16 Chq, Feb 11, 2023 Very fat black borders on iPad mini. Such a shame! Greetz Chris RealisticArcadeSimulator Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2018 158 38 28 #17 RealisticArcadeSimulator, Feb 12, 2023 I was also kind of jaw dropped when I first saw it, I really liked the the futuristic/post apocalyptic vibe and level/asset design. Kinda sad that it just got pushed to + and not cleaned up for both stores. I'm cursed with these detail sensitive eyes. The trees actually stop the popping if they aren't on the highest graphical setting. Sadly the traffic is removed in that tier as well. There is no popping in the console gameplay videos, so there shouldn't be any on M series ipads at least. RealisticArcadeSimulator Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2018 158 38 28 #18 RealisticArcadeSimulator, Feb 24, 2023 ....aaand the original is on sale. Of course no fix for the popping trees...some day.
