It'd be so much easier to buy stuff for android if you could just pay by text message, like back in the old days. I don't have any pirated stuff nowadays (unless e-books count), but I did try a couple things out when I first got my phone. It *is* very easy to do...

edit: back on topic: has anyone else noticed the 'level titles too big to fit on screen' thing?
I made a deviantart page.

How are you charging it? My Kindle Fire warns me it will charge horribly slowly from my laptop because it's not supplying as much juice as it wants.

I've got it installed and played a few games. I'm not being prompted to put my name in for high scores anymore after a game and I don't see any way to get to the online high score tables. I'm sure I'm missing something but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

You log in only once, then your login is saved, you don't need to reenter anything, if you want you can
log in again as a different user.

To access the menu of that thing is like on the OSX version, while in pause mode touch the sheep logo.

How do I create and account? It prompts me to login, but I can't since I don't have an account, I can view High scores fine though, but I don't know how to create an account .... is this feature (account creation) coming in the future within the game?

There's now, just added in, you'll check it in the next release together with the other fixes I've done.

Hopefully now it should be working fine in all the 4 different resolution profiles and also some various
little quirks been fixed.

Okay, so I got to the high score table and clicking on the sheep always works on my phone but not the Nexus 7. It usually works if I clear the app from the tiles menu or if I force close it but the button is unresponsive the second time I try to use it if I don't do one of those things first.

I had a similar behaviour as well... works first time, played the game, tried again during pause in the game it stopped working. Reset game, retried again, and it worked so it appears to randomly stop working.

Must be that bug that I've seen that I wasn't able to replicate.

It's a message that gets stuck in a "loop" in a certain condition I have to figure out why/how this happens.

I am seeing it now on the Nexus for the first time ever trying to figure out what the heck.

Fundamentally what I see I am getting a CLICK button event with a "button id" passed that
does not correspond to ANY of the IDs in the R. list .. so basically it's getting a click event
for a button type the SW does not know about and so it just does nothing.

Trying to figure out why/what/the heck/etc.

I think it's a bit "shitty" what happens, however it seems the reason/answer to that problem is here :

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1141 ... ent-values

Basically you create a button in the "layout" and you assign and ID to it, that gets compiled and
actually gets "a real numeric value" once is packaged into the "resources".

However looks like "at runtime" the resource ID and the one assigned to the view when the button
is clicked could not be the same ..

Oh well .. "live and learn".

Super Hexagon (absolutely one of my favourite games) has just been released on Android.

What might be of interest is they don't support Nexus 7 due to an issue with increased latency for input.

You can read about it here:

http://distractionware.com/blog/2013/01/the-hold-up/

Any latency is SH would kill it and that may not be an issue for GR but worth knowing about and keeping in mind when it comes to user support.
