### 4/5 — Latest experimental build when?

*2026-01-15*

I’m wanting the latest experimental build, are you working on a mobile port for that?

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I think in a matter of a couple of weeks or so.

### 3/5 — Devs I really would like some help. (can’t even start the game do to a problem)

*2025-09-19*

I just bought this game after doing research on which one I wanted to spend money on and I’m excited to play this version of it.. but it seems like I keep running into a problem relate to something referred to as “LAUL” 
??? 
Not sure what that means but if you guys could get back to me, that would be amazing. I’m gonna try to figure this out in the meantime… 
Have no problem supporting you guys and I appreciate what you do, but please just try to help me start and fix this :) 
Thanks

(OK update after a lot of messing around. I’m able to play the game but no matter what I do I cannot enable sound. Anyway, to fix this.)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. If you could please write some details and screenshots to https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/, it would be more convenient to communicate there.
Also there's no sounds built in, you have to download sound pack separately and place it into appropriate folder. Search reddit for it, because in the past there was “@'s sound pack”, but looks like I cannot find it now.

### 5/5 — Loving it with the constant updates for the newer versions.

*2025-08-08*

Despite the steep learning curve, it is amazing. I love the depth of the game and how intricate it is. I just sincerely hope that full sound system gets updated for more immersive experience as if playing on PC. Then, it will be perfect.

### 2/5 — PLZ UPDATE!

*2025-05-13*

So many bugs there!

**Developer response:** Just updated to latest!

### 4/5 — One big problem

*2023-06-14*

So, I want to change the length and with of my display so I can see more stuff. Everytime I swipe up my keyboard, it reverts back to its original display size of 84 and 24. Can you fix this real quick? Its kinda killing my vibe of playing bright nights.

### 5/5 — Updated review

*2023-05-05*

The ipad this was on has died unexpectedly, so it’s likely the problem was on my end. Changing this to a 5 star review as the game is one of my favourites, and this is a good port (so long as your device is not in the process of dying). Sorry for the trouble.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review.
Can you please file a bug report here: https://apollov.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/l and attach a small video record depicting the issue you experiencing? I just have no idea about how is this possible based on the code I've written myself. And I cannot reproduce this. Also please note you device model and iOS version. I'll try to help. Sorry for the inconvenience, this sounds really strange.
Previous: I have just checked that out and everything's okay. Have you tried pushing the “Play” button on that screen? Or maybe I don't get what is happening on your side. Can you describe the issue a bit more?
