Battery drain issues on AF: The Arena

[patric34]

Hi to all,

I never had major battery drain problems with most of my iPhone's apps (including AF: The Beginning) but since buying AF: The Arena my phone gets hot (only with this game) and the battery drain very quickly. I'd say 2 hours of play and I get the low battery warning. I imagine it's because all the new special effects in the game (lots of lags too, probably cause by these effects).

Wouldn't it be possible for the producers to include options to turn on or off the visual effects and a brightness a in-game brightness setting ?


Thank You

For those of us who chain alot, and for those not in the know, the vibrate function drains an insane amount of power. Simply being able to turn it off could probably improve the battery drain lifetime by 5% which is insane considering how long it is on for (which isn't much even if you are doing well).

Also - if you want your device to last longer, turn of wifi or 3g (the one you are not using), turn down the screen brightness and turn down the sound or use headphones.

To the Devs: Consider making the game less addicting so people can quit playing. Some of us have jobs we need to go to.

The music, sound effects, and vibration can all be disabled in the preferences.
