This game is awesome

Game resolution still needs adjusting
     
by rbkski · November 14, 2022

The vertical resolution of the game (during actual gameplay, not the menu or the level selection map) is a bit larger than the iPad Pro display’s capability. This has been present since the game engine update was introduced a good while back. The horizontal fits exactly, but the vertical is a bit taller than the res. of the iPad and it occasionally moves the whole game field (up or down) when I tap (to build or upgrade) a tower. That is a huge annoyance, and it wasn’t like this before the game engine update. Can the devs not find a way to fix the vertical res. to match that of the iPad’s display? The other two games in the series that I have (KR HD, KRF HD) do not exhibit this problem/flaw. Still hoping this gets corrected at some point.

Love this game!

I love playing this game I have been playing it for a couple years now but the new update has taken away the high definition graphics and reverted to the original version I tried deleting and reinstalling it but it didn’t work I am positive the recent update was responsible I hope that the developers fix the issue with it please give us HD graphics again hope someone reads this and does something about it thank you for reading!

Bring new life to Origins with engine update !!!
