There are quite a few DISTRAINT (PC) reviews out there, check them out if you're still unsure whatever to buy this game.


DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE IOS AND PC VERSIONS
In order to make the iOS port as playable as possible I needed to make some small changes to the game.
In PC version you have a lantern, but porting this over to iOS brought too many problems. I decided to leave the lantern out from the iOS version and instead expand the environmental lighting. While doing so I also added more color which makes the iOS port more pretty to look at.
To have as smooth experience as possible I capped the iOS version to 30 frames per second. However, DISTRAINT has a very little motion so this is barely even noticeable.
