(old) I feel like I would love this game, simple, competitive (to an extent) and all round fun. The locked 30fps is unacceptable. The excuse they give for this.

"Performance. It may look like a simple game, there are a lot of individual elements in the ground and above the ground, and the distribution of oil within the network needs quite some cpu as well.
Long story short: we tested the game on 60 fps on slower computers and it wasn't good enough. We don't want to leave them out."

So you dont want to leave the people with slower PC's out and you do this by locking the frame rate to 30. Punishing the people with decent to high-end. Logic. They feel it is to much work to cap it at 60 or just let the few people with dinosaurs for PC's run at 50-20fps.

If you are like me and 30fps makes you sick your stomach. Then do NOT get this game!

-NEW-

I was really hard on the game for the 30fps thing but they updated it and now I can 100% say I love the game. Glad to see devolpers listening to the people that play the game. Big companies never take the time to pay attention to the little guy. Now that the game is 60fps+ I can really play it without having to stop because getting dizzy. But for a small devloper this game is truley a great game.

This game is great if you want to kill time without getting overwhelmed. There is almost 0 learning curve to the game making it easy for anyone to play. There is so much you can do with a oil tycoon game and what they have done so far has not failed to impress. I can not wait to see what else they add to such a home feeling game!

If there is one thing im waiting im excited for is the addition of difficulty. That would make it more of a challenge for someone looking for a difficult game or easier for someone looking for the oppisite.

I owe a big apology to Gamious for being such a cut-throat critic.

It's good to hear a high frame rate is so important to you. We'll look for a way to facilitate this, stay tuned!
