I know that Little inferno is on the wii U, computer, and IPads. But it is not on the 1st generation IPad. When I try to buy it, it tells me I can't because I do not have a "front facing camera". And I know the reason why is because there are 2 toys that allow you to take or use a picture from the IPad. I feel that it should be capadible for the IPad 1, from such a little thing. There are alot more people out there, the same as me, that can't get this game because of this. I hope people will see this and join me also.
I think they don't support the iPad 1 because of hardware; little inferno doesn't use the camera as far as I know. Is it just the App Store that says this error? Because that may just be how it determines the difference between an iPad 2 and an iPad 1.
I know that there is an item in little inferno that you can use that allow you to use any picture that you have in your hard drive, or even take a picture, then put it on the item and burn it in your fire place. So it's not hard ware, it just that 1 or 2 items that uses a camera, and obviously the IPad 1 doesn't have a camera. And the message says that there is no front facing camera. But I want the company to see this so they can consider this, and work on it, hopefully.
Ohh, the iPad version lets you take photos to use? That's kinda cool.
What I was referring to about hardware was that the iPad 1 has far worse graphics hardware than the iPad 2, so it may be that they just chose to not support the iPad 1 because it was too slow, and added a front-facing camera dependancy as an easy way to do that. I dunno, though. I'm sure there's a reason behind it. Kyle, Kyle, and Allan are smart people, so I would think they would have supported the iPad 1 if they could have. I'm not sure what their future iOS plans are, though.
daxar is right, the reason the game can't run on ipad 1 is entirely because of the cpu/gpu/ram and has nothing to do with the camera. unfortunately, there's no direct way to block someone on an ipad 1 from buying the game on the app store. the best we can do is say that the game requires a front facing camera (even though it doesn't) and then ipad 1s will be blocked from buying the game.
