The graphic is out of this world, seriously. But there is a problem of optimization. The game run smoothly without issue on Android 4.3 and 4.4, at the expense of graphic (It's not too bad, though).
However, my Android 5.1 phone experience lagging in most levels. It's really infuriating to see that the game could not run well on modern devices. I know it has been quite a while since you guys updated the game, but I do hope that you all still care about your brain child. Hell, I mean you promised the PC version of this game would be available in 2018. And 2020 now, the official website is still up yet unupdated. Anyway, I appreciate the efforts you put into this game.' ,182000000,3,null,null,'5','nam hai ha trung',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Oberholzer',null,2,null,null,null,'is awesome, but the screen seems to be cut off from some levels, and then you can't continue with the game.
