Anyone here remember old games like Glyder and Glyder 2, GeoSpark and its spinoffs, etc. that were taken off the App Store long ago? Anyone nostalgic for them?
In the case of the former two, the update to iOS 4 caused some collision issues where you would often instantly crash (in the gameplay term of hitting the ground, not the technical term of the app shutting down unexpectedly) upon stepping off a landing tower, before gaining control. In the case of most challenge courses (e.g. in the sequel, the blue one in Spiral Heights and the purple one in Arctasia), even if you made it past that, you would still crash in less than 2 seconds no matter how you steered, unless there was no ground around the base of the tower. Glu said they would fix this, then didn't, and took the game off the App Store instead.
And in the case of GeoSpark and GeoDefense, I have no idea why they were taken down, but it was stupid because they were fun and seemed too simple to have bugs as game-breaking as what happened to Glyder. I miss them, and while I still have a device with Glyder 2, it is also running on iOS 4.2.1, so the game's physics are broken. Does anyone else here remember old games that were so haphazardly abandoned by their creators like that?
