System requirements
In order to run the application correctly, it is necessary to meet the minimum requirements given in the table below.
| OS version | iOS 7.0 (or higher) |
| Device | iPhone 6+ (or equivalent iPad) |
| Jailbreak | Not required |
| Disk space | 20 MB |
It is still possible to install the app on devices not mentioned above, but we cannot guarantee its proper functioning.
We recommend backing up the device on which the app will be installed before performing any installation of third-party apps not from the official app Store.
Update
There will be frequent updates which you can grab from the link below.
The last version implements the following new features:
•Improved multiplayer system (iOS 8+)
•Fixed virtual gamepad settings
•Changed home screen layout (iPhone 7+)
•Improved double-screen interface (landscape oriented)
•Closed beta test program
This application is from a third-party developer, so an automatic update won’t be available.
You will need to manually update the app by installing the new version from the IPA file; the previous app will be replaced automatically.
All the updates have the latest fixes and optimizations, but their constantly changing nature means that little testing has been done on them and unknown bugs may appear.
Install
- Download AltServer on your computer:
- Install AltStore to your iPhone (or iPad)
- Launch AltStore to begin downloading apps
- Leave AltServer running, and AltStore will do the rest
If you have some problem to install the app, you can try to follow the complete guide.
