But we do agree on the fact that there are TPA videos out there of gameplay with unbelievable non-tilt nudging? To be clear: my position is not necessarily that iOS is harder, I really don't know because I haven't compared the two platforms exhaustively, it was more something that came up in conversations with VikingErik and also Tarek (I checked those and we talked about the precision of the controls, with the touchscreen being less precise). I do remember seeing infographs by Farsight in their newsletter in which mobile is by far the most used platform, surely in comparison with PC. If the leaderboard is dominated by PC and console, that could lead to the assumption that there are differences in difficulty, or just to the conclusion that the PC/console players are superior pinheads <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> [MENTION=311]Mark Miwurdz[/MENTION] : I don't have any fact/evidence to base any claim on (and I don't like to make them in general), but I do get a bit suspicious if somebody shoots up the charts like that in such a short time, primarily based upon my own experience how much time it takes to get from good (top 100) to great scores (top 10-20). I looked back and saw Dizzer (backwards from the last list) at 19, 38, 34, 33, 30, 29, 33, 45, 44, 43, 81 (july 2014), no ranking in june 2014. So I guess he joined the top #100 in 2014, quickly got around position 30-40, hovered there for more then a year and then last month really went to work to jump from 38 to 19. Just for fun: this has been my position listfeb 2014            : 52march 2014       : 62april 2014          : 74may 2014*        : 95, 32, 66june 2014          : no ranking <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />july 2014           : no ranking <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />august 2014       : 86september 2014 : 73october 2014      : 63november 2014  : 61december 2014   : 35january 2015      : 31february 2015     : 23march 2015        : 23april 2015           : 23may 2015           : 24june 2015           : 26july 2015            : 24august 2015        : 19september 2015   : 17october 2015       : 16* changed formulasI hit a plateau around 25, and when nearing the top 20, the going has been slow, it takes a lot of time to jump positions because you need very high scores that offcourse take more time.</blockquote>
