Regarding viewing text at button

For those reporting difficulty reading the text at the bottom (because of nav bar in the way), look into using the Guided Access feature under Accessibility options. This removed it for me. Thanks for bringing this game out. Would love to see more classic Sierra Online games. One feature request would be to allow scaling of UI items (such as press-hold menu, inventory, and text) for smaller screens. Thanks again for keeping the classic adventure genre alive!

Decent but questions...

I don’t know why people say they can’t use the key— press down in it for a second and drag slowly and you won’t pull down your notifications.

The only problems I’ve noticed:

1) iPhone puts the minimizing bar at the bottom of the screen in white, right where the text appears for narration and dialogue— so I can’t play without my sound on (I’d prefer to read it personally and it means I can’t play unless I’m pretty much home alone).

2) the blotter— I missed the points because no matter where I clicked... developer, you get the gist (any guidance you could give on that would be helpful. I still remember what to do from all those years ago— I just can’t get it to click right!)

I’ve only played the first half of this version— if it wasn’t those two issues, I’d have 5 starred it. The first isn’t a deal breaker just a preference. The second was a total bummer— cause it kept me for perfect scoring the first half).

Unusable on iPhone

Love the fact you have remade this game. The inventory is unusable as brings up control center when you drag up there.

Looking forward to playing

Gold rush

I purchased both Gold Rush & Gold Rush 2, and find absolutely, no problems with the controls or anything for matter. The graphics are outstanding and I couldn’t a#k for anything better. Great job.

Could be a good game

Same issue as the other person. Trying to drag key from inventory bar keeps pulling down Notification Center. Hard to talk to people who are moving. I thought I’d tapped them but nope I’m looking at the street over and over

Good game in need for more forgiving touch controls

Ps original fan here. Was exited to play this new edition. I’m rooting for the game..

Pps. Funny story. So you’re supposed to keep off the grass in Brooklyn. I tried to talk to the cop, but my character walked across the grass to talk to him. He blew his whistle and said “freeze!” And then the game froze.
