Make an option to like... have the old buttons with the little circles around them, along with removing the extra ones that replace the Keyboard. Maybe call it a classic edition or something?
Developer Response
Thank you for your review. Now you can completely remove the overlay UI from standard Settings app -> Cataclysm roguelike RPG. I'll think about partial removal of UI elements.*UPDATED section for 1.1.1*
This version is absolutely spectacular! For the first time ever, I really feel like I could feasibly play on iPad without the keyboard. The panning and zooming are just fantastic. I now prefer playing on iPad to playing on my laptop, just because it’s so much easier to look around on iPad now. Amazing work. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
*Original review*
If you’re here reading these reviews, chances are you already know what CDDA is, so I won’t waste your time talking about the game.
What needs to be lauded is the developer’s quiet inclusion of Files support in his port to iOS. Do you play on PC already? Do you have a favorite tileset, soundpack, or mod? Use the Files app by itself or in conjunction with iCloud Drive to install those favorite things right into CDDAs usual file structure. It’s all visible right there in Apple’s Files app.
BRAVO! I’m playing with @‘s soundpack and MSXUndeadPeople on my iPad! This is ridiculous, and I love it.
iPad users would do well to get themselves a Bluetooth keyboard with a numeric keypad. I had one laying around, and now I’m playing CDDA on my iPad in exactly the same way I would be playing on my PC - but with the convenience and portability of a tablet. Man, it’s great!
Developer is active on r/CataclysmDDA, and has a clear love for the game. I can’t wait until he comes up with a way for us to reward him for his hard work.
Thank you!!

UPD:
Thank you again, I'm really proud of this version. My play tests show really smooth experience, way closer to what one could expect from mobile device than before. Looking for other ways to improve things gradually. Stay tuned 😎
ORIG:
Thank you for your warm words. I'm very glad things are running smoothly and you're enjoying you time.
I'll set up a Patreon account in some time, though it's not a priority, because without keyboard the game is still very hard to play, especially on iPhones. I'm looking for ways to make more convenient touch interface for everyone to be comfortable to play. And we still have lots of newcomers that remove the game early because they initially don't know how to start or are considered by the interface. They are in my mind to.
And thank you again, such reviews add you just made keep me motivated to go on and work on this project!all the mods of kennan modpack throws same error
like:

and I can’t find all mods I added in mod list
but deadpeople graphical mods are work fine.
Been wanting a good port for years. Doesn’t adapt well to my iPhone 11 Pro. The notch cuts off some info. Also when moving around using the arrow pad on the left side you have to constantly “tap” to keep moving. Would be REALLY cool to just tap once and move in that direction without having to keep taping. Other then that I love it. Good work.
UPDATE. Uhhh. So now I can’t close the keyboard now?
When holding down the movement arrows in one direction, the movement is not continuous and stops every fee frames. This is not a hardware speed issue, as tapping repeatedly works faster and smoothly. For some reason, it works fine on my ipad and my brother’s iphone 8, but when i use my iphone 8, the initial menu is a black screen. The controls work, i can move and open them, but i cant see what im doing, and even when i open them, they are too zoomed in. Also, it is slightly prone to crash for some reason. Aside from that, awesome work
Developer Response
Thank you for your review.
Try moving your finger just a little bit — even a pixel-distance movement is enough for the gamepad to trigger again. I'll look into whether it's possible to fix this inconvenience.
Have you tried to analyze the difference between your brother's setup and yours in terms of settings first of all? Possibly you have transferred your data from the pc together with settings and you have scaling or custom font size configured there? Crashes might be due to those settings. If you could provide more information about conditions when crashes happen, I'll be able to try to reproduce them and possibly fix.It’s great to have this on iOS! Dear dev, you have done a beautiful job. I still hope you’ll port other roguelikes that are a bit easier to control on touch. For instance I think DCSS, with its auto-explore button, would be ideal!
Developer Response
Thank you for your review. I was thinking about DCSS, but have no definite plans.Having tons of fun with this. Only one question: how do I install the mods in the files app? There doesn’t seem to be a mods folder in there
Developer Response
Thank you for your review. Just create mods folder in the app directory, place your mods there and restart the game! Have even more fun! 😀按i键没有翻页键和安装汽车按键没有翻页键。没有uppage和dnpage键啊，不是说最近版本送达吗啊啊啊，谢谢大大啊，加上按键啊
*UPDATE* You can even install mods, sound packs, tile sets, and more from GitHub then going into the files app. First off I’d like to thank you so much for porting an updated version of the game, I used to play the old mobile port of this game so it’s like I’m playing a completely new game. So many new features to delve into so far I’ve already found a crashed Apache and now am searching for tools to dismount the mini gun that happened to survive the crash so I can mount it to my semi truck I got lucky to find the same day. Runs amazing on the iPad Pro. I’d love to see sound added in a premium version that also removes the banner.
Developer Response
Thank you for your review! You can use file sharing via Files.app to put sound and tiles packs, like this: https://github.com/damalsk/damalsksoundpack and this: https://github.com/SomeDeadGuy/UndeadPeopleTileset.
Premium version is planned, too.Needs an option to move or disable (even via IAP) the ad bar because it blocks important info. Similarly, the iPhone “notch” cuts out the side of the screen.
Developer Response
Thank you for your review. Some work on hiding a banner is already under review in app store and will be released very soon. Notch issues sum to be note as critical, but will be addressed too.
Whats this? A review!
