Testing full circle

[alexxkay]

I've been playing tons of the new Sentinels of the Multiverse app. I've also, being me, been making lots of suggestions / bug reports on their forums. I have made myself sufficiently annoying/useful that they've invited me into their beta, so I can give more immediate feedback :-)

It occurs to me that my very first toe-dipping into the games industry was an unpaid gig as a beta tester for an early computer version of Magic: the Gathering. You can take the boy out of QA, but you can't take the QA out of the boy :-)

I am also on an iPad 2, which is very much minimum spec. I do suspect some memory leakage, as the speed (for me) gets progressively worse over time, but they are doing what they can to improve it. The frequent crashes *would* be a deal-breaker for me if they hadn't done such a good job on "Continue Game". On average, a crash costs me about 1 minute; I don't *want* to lose that minute, but I've seen much worse.

That's a decent summary of my experience, yes. It's still worth playing, but the slowdowns and crashes are annoying.
