Right, I'm off to play some T4K again. My scores require a LOT of improvement... :wink:

You HAVE to put in a TATE mode option if you do Gridrunner.

The vertical ratio would be great and you can get cheap TATE 3d printed adaptors on eBay that work great.

Actually nearly all your iOS games are better in TATE mode.

Tate Mode is a feature offered in many vertical shoot-em-ups that flips the screen 90 degrees to either the left or right. This allows the player to tilt their television/monitor and play the game with a longer vertical display.

Ideal for switch obviously

OK .. this is what I told Jeff "a few days ago" SHOULD BE NICE TO .. BUT .. BUT there's a HUGE but .. "all those games already been designed for an HORIZONTAL" display, the pass to vertical could be .. very problematic .. all the UI and stuff and various other things are not "immediately changeable" and made to fit a vertical display.

I agree that Goat Up would be lot better vertical than horizontal, gridrunner maybe not as the playfield is more horizontal than vertical .. but it's NOT trivial at all would mean "quite some work" to properly support that ..

I've got one of these and it does the job of flipping the Switch screen 90 degrees quite nicely-

When you get around to adapting Five a Day you can have a nice vertical mode in place. :)

Niceties are nice but I would be very happy to have any of the iOS games in any format on my Switch at the moment....

Haha, yeah they are pretty shameful! Just had a quick look and I'm currently ranked 82 on Pure, 71 on Classic, and 32 on Survival, so upward mobility should be possible... :oops:


TBH I was never much chop at any of the Tempests, but with this Switch incarnation I am keener to put in the time to get better - not least cos I can just play it portable with minimal hassle. :D

Enemy at 25 mins 10 is my new favourite hated character, the hexagonal orb that spits out death in its lane- ruined many a Survival run and yes I know they're not hard to dodge. I seem to have a blind spot with them for some reason.You CUNT(s)
