After a glowing recommendation from a friend I was very excited to play this game. It seems that the game has a bug where it'll think that a controller is connected to my phone when there isn't. This leads to never actually being able to play the game because the on-screen controls never show up. I really hope this is fixed soon as I'd love to play. Downloaded on Pixel 3XL

I am on a Samsung A20s and it runs great with a PS4 controller. So. Everyone keeps calling this a remake, but the levels and gameplay and controls are all different from the original Abe's Oddworld. The only thing that is the same from PS1, is the script and cut scenes. If you are a big fan of the old games, it definitely feels more like a new Oddworld game with new levels, and gameplay. BUT it's great! I love it so far! Best android game I've played in years!

Excellent game better than the psx version. The graphics are great and things have been polished up nicely for the Android port. I'm an Oddworld fan and am glad to see the nice graphical upgrades they've done for this port of an excellent game. My only issue is one I won't necessarily ding them for because, though powerful, I have an older phone. It's just that in certain levels the fps drops immensely to the point of frustration. Tweaking with the settings can help, but not all the way. By contrast, although there is a strange issue with tearing occasionally with Stranger's Wrath, it runs smoothly yet had graphics designed for the Xbox. I'd recommend playing this with a Bluetooth controller, as it was meant to be played, it works excellent and helps you react quicker, although, the touch controls are better than most. All and all, it's good to see the oddworld games getting some love and I hope beyond hope that we finally get the last 2 inhabitants and hopefully a final game that ties them all together. Also, here's hoping we see Abes exodus soon!
