Galaxy on Fire (Official)

Hey guys, we know that you're all eagerly awaiting the release of Supernova. To fill you in on the latest happenings, here's a statement from our CEO. We're not happy with the delay either, but Supernova is Fishlabs' biggest and most important release of the year and the iPhone 5 is without question the hottest and most talked about smartphone on the market. And hence we simply cannot release a version of Supernova which doesn't fully support that device...

"The Full HD version of GOF2 Supernova had been rejected at first, because we used a restriction for the sandbox environment, which is no longer permitted in OSX applications. Since the dismissal of the Full HD version made it impossible for us to release Supernova as originally intended, we decided to re-submit the HD version as well and fully optimize it to the specifications and capabilities of the iPhone 5. Besides supporting the 1136 by 640 pixel resolution of Apple’s new smartphone’s 4” display, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD will henceforth also contain additional shaders from the Full HD version, which will cause the title to look even better than before! We know that quite a few of you guys will be disappointed by the delay, since you’ve been looking forward to play Supernova for months. Nevertheless, we hope you understand our decision. After all, Supernova is our most important release of the year and we really want to make sure that it looks and performs absolutely top-notch on all supported devices – including the new iPhone 5. Offering our fans a console-styled gaming experience in the best-possible quality has always been our first and foremost goal and hence we’d rather delay the new add-on a little than release it in a form that doesn’t fully support the hottest mobile device of the day."
