Too bad it's not compatible with Android 2.3.3... looked fun !

It was originally supposed to support 2.3+, but due to timeline constraints I had to release it as 4.0+. I'll be looking into 2.3+ for a future release though!

I recall that sub-3.x Androids are about 40% of the market in Google Play, so yeah it's worth doing. (I'm sure there are many more low Androids out there that are simply used as phones and never touch the store)

Game looks great! I'm installing it remotely on my Nexus 7, but from the screenshots I was instantly reminded of Letterpress' visual design.

What cellphone do you have?, i just played in my Motorola Defy, modded with CM10. Great game btw.

Cyanogenmod 9 and onwards are based on 4.x, so what does that have to do with this not working on 2.3.x?

My intention was to inform the original poster that probably he could upgrade his device using CM10.

Coincidentally he happens to have the same phone as mine, wich i upgraded with CM10 and a custom kernel and it works (way) faster that the original 2.3.x with motoblur.

I have a Defy too, but with CM7. Is CM10 working well on yours ? And can you tell me where to find it ?

CM10 works flawlessly for me, i use the Quarx build with 2ndboot (custom kernel), you can use this FAQ that will guide you in the entire process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647

Awesome, I installed it today and everything is good so far... thanks!
