iBomber Defense returns to Windows Phone 8 but still crashes lots

A while back, Babel Rising was pulled from Windows Phone 8 due to the tiny trouble of crashing on start upwards. It briefly returned to Windows Phone 8 despite still existence incompatible. Well, today seems like déjà vu because some other partially delisted game is back in semi-working order: the Nokia exclusive tower iBomber Defense from Chillingo and Cobra Mobile.

Unlike the dreadful Boom-boom Ascension, iBomber Defense has ever been playable on Windows Phone viii – it doesn't crash on start up. However, the game suffered from several severe technical bug. For one, its frame rate slowed to tortoise-similar speeds whenever in that location were as well many objects on-screen at in one case. Annoying, but not the finish of the world.

More severely, iBomber Defense force would crash whenever exiting to the main menu from inside a mission or after a mission. Talk about a killer menu! Some users even experienced crashing whenever a level was completed, making several Achievements impossible to unlock. Presumably, the game was partially delisted for exactly that reason.

With the recent version one.1 update and iBomber Defense'due south return, nosotros hoped the crashing would come to an end. Sadly, our frequent tipster TNTJudbud reports that the game still crashes in the same places. Information technology looks like the patch was either ineffective or release prematurely. At this point, the game volition either disappear from Windows Phone viii again or sit around in its buggy state…. It's difficult to tell with Xbox Windows Phone.

Nosotros've reached out to developer Cobra Mobile and volition update if nosotros learn more most the crashing event.
