Was excited to see there was an update for Fix-it Felix Jr. for the iOS platform. HOWEVER IMHO, they screwed it !

The "push arrow" control has been replaced by a virtual joystick and it makes it tedious and much slower to control Felix, I mean I was pretty quick at tapping the arrows left hand and the fix button right hand, it wasn't perfect but it was fast.

Worst of all......THE DUCKS ARE GONE !?!?!? This makes it much more boring and easy....aargh ggggg...

The only improvements that they did were making the blocking ledges more clearly visible and Felix falls down when hit, and when it's game over he makes a Mario like death roll, but both definitly do not weigh up to the messed up feel and controls.....if you like Fix-it Felix as it was, DO NOT UPGRADE !!!

Now, how do I get back the old version ??

If you sync your apps you might have the previous version on your PC... you'll just have to figure out how to delete the newer one from your phone and PC... then put the older one back. I've done it before but it was about a year ago so I don't recall all the steps.

The ducks are still there, they just come later in the levels. Not sure how far the old version let you go, but this one only goes to level 9 or so and then starts over. Seems much easier this time around, though the controls aren't as tight as they were in the old version. I sort of get what they were trying to do with the upgrade but from a gameplay perspective, it seems less fun.
 
Thanks for the heads up.

I wish iTunes would handle this type of thing more gracefully. I've got a 1st gen iTouch I still use and occasionally I've upgraded apps and then they no longer work. It is not a huge deal to restore the app from backup but still.
 
I didn't even bother to play that long to see the ducks return......damn, they killed my favorite game on the iPad.... :(


I'm syncing on iCloud so I bet I can't go back.... :( !
