No landscape option

For a game only a few years old, I don’t understand why it can only be played in portrait mode. Not great for iPad. I wish the devs would fix this.

I love this game and keep coming back to it. I’m always looking for more games like this one and can never find any quite like it!

Best game ever

Hello inspector.
We have audited your activities for the past 20 years.
There are some anomalies.
But you have served Arstotzka well.
We will overlook these small transgressions…
You have been cleared of any suspicion.
Glory to Arstotzka.

Please update

Please update for more of the newer devices. A screen update 🙏 something to fix that the iOS island/pill notch isn’t in the way of the game.
