    Agree, but I still consider this to be part of iOS crapology--kinda.

    All I can say is, ppl will prolly want to really consider upgrading once the 5th gen devices come out.

    --------------------------------------

    I'm also curios about alternative controls!

    Hey just sayin, Plunderland does NOT work on 2nd gen devices. I wish it did or I would have it by now.

    You fly everywhere yourself.

    You can even get out in space

    Or get in space battles.

    What you saw was the player dropping a waypoint on the desired planet, they flew there using the controls. Its full physics and full control for the player.

    It used to, for a long time. But one of our updates adding more missions and new ways to play took it to be less playable on old devices.

    Its not quite so bad for maintaining apps but games, things change in the code base and as the iOS advances techniques change and we are only two people working on this full time, only so much we can do!

    Bummer, I wish I had gotten it then. I wish there was even an old copy that worked. Bummer looked so fun.

    Yeah I wish that was possible too! It used to run super smooth on old devices. Wish the AppStore let you keep old builds up for old devices

    Looking good my friend, hope to see it soon.
    I can finally continue eating now :)

    FYI I am NOT this user: beelzebubble apparently he really liked my name and lacked originality :p
    Remember, I have 23 at the end of my name...

    I am not TOO worried, perhaps flattered :)
    The Dude only has an iPod touch, CLEARLY he isn't me ;)
    If it turns to be a nuisance be sure I'll "turn the hose" on him..

    Anyways, I understand the ETA is soon,
    I apologize if I asked this before but is it a paid version or freemuim?

    Being that the word "Beelzebub" originated over 2000 years ago, I'd say you're both stealing the name, and you should move on with your lives. ;)

    Hey Josh, did you say that achievements will be included in the game? If so, can you make some sort of "John Carter" achievement where you go and rescue an endangered civilization on another planet. That'd be hilarious.

    Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will soon realize that you are a the original beelzebub after they see your join date and amount of posts :D

    Hey everyone, just thought I'd let you know that there's a little interview about Prevail here http://thesmartphoneappreview.com/2012/02/10/interview-johnny-shoes-talks-prevail/

    If TA want some more from us, we'll give it to them.

    Some more artwork from the game.

    Use the hashtag #PrevailApp, follow us @johnnytwoshoes and if you're feeling hyper social you can join the Johnny Two Shoes page on Facebook. We put all kinds of stuff all over the place so it makes it more fun to be part of every social space, rather than the same stuff everywhere.

    Really excited about getting Prevail to you guys, hopefully that interview answers some deeper questions about the game.

    Very cool review!

    Will there be an option to use different character skins? Playing as a Flash Gordon-like character would be awesome:D
