    Hey guys, just a quick reply to the overall theme of the other topic in upcoming. I will be answering all questions in the thread. I will go through all issues and answer them here. Thanks

    "Thank you for supporting us and understanding. The issue is that the city is pretty huge so therefore it is causing a strain on some devices. We are looking into this immediately and there will be a fix coming asap. There are a few ways we can get around this issue so definitely expect a fix in next update. As for multiplayer, the issue the the same again with that. It was causing too much strain on some earlier devices, but this is key for our future updates as playing this with friends, in the size the city is now, would be amazing. We will be posting daily what we are working on so follow us at www.blockclans.com or on facebook.com/blockclans
    thanks "

    The screens look great. I really want to try this but I'm on an iPhone 4S and not sure it could handle what has been described as a massive world.

    Not one impression here. Only crash messages on different devices. Time to stay away from it right now.

    Ok, thanks. I'm on 7 but don't think that would make the difference.

    If you could show us where this happened we can fix the hole. What part of the city? More info would be great

    Thank you for your continued support.
    We are looking into implementing this to handle earlier devices as currently the processor speeds on all A5 chip devices are very very different compared to the A6 chips+

    please email: [email protected] and we will get back to you asap

    We are active on Facebook, both threads, and on our official site:
    https://www.facebook.com/BlockClans
    http://www.blockclans.com

    Block Clans currently is Not supported iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 5th, iPad 2, iPad Mini 2012 due to performance. We are working on a fix and will have it up and running in next update. Devices with A6 processor chips work without any problems.

    Thank you for your support

    My head said no, but my heart said yes and I've just downloaded to my 5s.

    I am looking for one solid update. If the update shows great support to our issues/suggestions/requests, I will purchase this game and play it on my iphone with wide-mouthed glee.

    Is Firt Person perspective (or option to change between first and third) something you're considering?

    Works okay on my 5s. Could do with auto-rotate and invert y-axis. Took me a while to find the gun and was a bit disappointed with the aiming of it. Thought the right stick would act as a stick to aim and fire. As it stands though it's actually not a bad game although I'm not too sure of the point. Are there missions? Is there and end? Etc

    Have applied for refund, the first app I've ever done so for. Fingers crossed!

    On my watch list as well. I will be buying this as soon as it's confirmed running on iPhone 4 -- for fun and also to support this dev. I love the support I'm seeing, and the potential of this release.

    I understand wanting a refund, but I want to see BC develop into something that would make a proud showpiece in a person's game catalog.

    Therefor, I support Maigame and I hope these events happen:
    1) You end up not getting a refund and 2) it pays off in the long run if/when this becomes playable incredible fun :)

    Like I said, I understand about it. I'm looking forward to watching this title.

    Can I take this opportunity to ask the devs why they faked their screenshots ? I bought this because I thought the screenies looked great. I am applying for a refund for the first time on the AppStore since 2009.

    Dev, please remove your 5* rating, some of us doesn't like when devs do this

    So your happy to see cloudpuff lose his money just so the developers (that did not do enough testing) get money to make a game that works but you don't want to spend a penny of you own money until its fully functional????

    personally I prefer customers who are unhappy with my games get a full refund than leave bad feed back, I wish more users were like cloudpuff.


    Don't want to bash the developer to much but you may still want to edit your app description as at the moment it still looks like it will work on the iphone 4, iphone 3gs,iphone3g and ipod 4g,3g. You did not set any Device Requirements in the info.plist even people on an iphone 3g can pay and download it.

    "• Block Clans currently is Not supported iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 5th, iPad 2, iPad Mini 2012 due to performance. We are working on a fix and will have it up and running in next update."

    would it be better to say this game only works on the iphone 5 and up, and the ipad 4. Hope your able to sort out the issues im guessing its down to RAM on such a big map

    Well hopefully Apple will understand and refund, if they don't no biggie for me it's easy to delete, but like I said earlier, the app wasn't for me, it was for my daughter (8)!who is allowed one purchase a month for good behaviour, she can use that money to purchase something else, if I had bought a game, or anything for that matter from anywhere else that did not work I would return and ask for money back. Why should I not get my money back for this?
    If a fix comes in the long run I'll happily repurchase if my daughter still wants it.

    No, no. Apologies for the way it sounded. Sometimes jokin' and bumpin' around doesn't come off right through text. I don't wish anyone to waste their money! I was saying I look forward to the game turning around for the good. End result, the customers need to be happy with products they buy!

    If this is the case, there are two ways this could be remedied: Dev makes great improvement to his work, or a refund given to the unhappy customer(s). Whether the refund is given or not, I'm still hoping this title sees great improvement! If I bought the game (I hope I get a clear chance to), I'd be super-dissapointed as well! But, when I see a dev working hard on something exciting that may be in quite a flux state, I'd rather see strides made for this title to meet gamer's expectations. An unfinished title I spent money on for support is Steam-released Space Engineers (no sound effects, no gameplay tasks/objectives, etc.).

    In fact, I will continue to watch the development of BC and will purchase this "early access" when I'm 100% convinced the issues are being looked into and resolved (all heckles and jokes aside).

    All in all, I was not meaning to say ANYTHING in the lines of, "You fool, hope you don't get your money back!" I just understand indie game development is not easy, and sometimes underappreciated if a release has a very hard start.
