We have Ninja Warrior in the UK, but truth be told Takeshi's Castle was much better, as was "Gladiator" in the 90's.

I would pay more to factor in a month off or extra staff for bugfixes, pretty sure most people on here would.

Really hope the improved tech for mobile releases includes a reflective ball on android (ios already has it)

Great podcast guys, many thanks

Thanks Guys

 

[jaredmorgs]

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I hope the graphics tweaks are something that brings the mobile platforms in line with PC. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Wonder what the graphics update for PC might be.
I do like nice graphics.
