First up, the game looks awesome in screenshots, the audio is great and the commanding officer voice is well picked.
However, I'm using a stock LG P350 and suffering from a strange visual glitch. I purchased the app from the market and everything installed and downloaded fine. I contemplated refunding, but somehow I think this title might be worth holding out for a fix.
The game loads, there is no introductory video (although I can see a "start.mp4" file that opens on my PC after a bit of persuasion).
The background to the menu screen is 'dark' with off flickering artifacts here and there, I guess they are towers or something, but they are not displaying correctly.
I can start the game, text doesn't fit properly in the box at the bottom, and exceeds the bottom line of the box.
After progressing past the route-planning screen to the main game screen the show-stopper of a problem is evident.
The main game screen, where the units proceed along the route past the towers displays the same 'darkness' that the menu screen does. Trees are barely visible, but obvious, towers cannot be seen at all, except for their firing 'muzzle flash'.
Oddly, when the mission is complete and the view blurs to show the achievement/score, for a moment the game area appears (although blurred). Once you return to the game for the next level, again the dark map re-occurs.
The units also appear strange, rather than looking like an APC, they seem to be a rectangle of tiny blue and green dots,
There's no other Apps installed on this device, I've restored the stock software using the official application. After setting up the market, the game is the first thing installed.
Will keep checking back for a fix/explanation. Good luck, and keep up the great work!
