Great game, but lags on my iPod at times – Downwell Review

This game is so good I had to buy it on not only my Android phone, but my iPod touch and PC. Over all of the devices I have this game on I have spent several days playing it. This game has me hooked on jumping down the well, whether it be because I had to exit the app or because I died the last run. I love the fact that are several routes to take when playing the game. You can choose to either be really reckless and go for every enemy, or you can choose to be strategic and pick your battles. The upgrades also has you pick wisely, as the wrong combination can screw you over in the long run but also puts you at the mercy of the games rng even more. Sadly, while I wish to give a clean 5 like on Android and PC, I have to give it a 4, as it isn't properly optimized for an iPod touch 5th generation. Lag can kick in at any moment, either aiding you by slowing the game for a split second allowing you to reconsider a decision you made the second before hand, or it can aid in the game murdering you as it slows you down while your en route to kill an enemy, seemingly giving the enemy AI a split second to adjust its course to knock off a point of hp upon impact with you when the lag lets up. This is pretty evident in flying enemies (which are the bane of my existence without the lag, anyway.) Giving an optimization option for not only older iPads but also older iPod touches and older iPhones would probably fix this issue. Other than that, the iOS version of this game is pretty solid. Keep up the great work!!
