Find the APK from other sources, it will likely work on your device.

I'm not exactly sure what you're suggesting here. The application is 32-bit. It will not run on devices which only run 64-bit binaries.

Are Androids picky with this? Shouldn't 64-bit devices be able to run 32-bit just fine?

[–] EvaUnit02@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

The Pixel 7 is the first to drop 32-bit support. For what it's worth, Apple dropped 32-bit support about five years ago.

[–] EvaUnit02@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily, no. 32-bit applications are going to be making calls to 32-bit libraries and referencing a 32-bit address space. If those libraries are missing and/or there's no virtualization layer to translate the 32-bit calls, then the 32-bit apps won't work.

I am not sure but I think they patched 32bit support out

I never knew about this. Was it any good?

[–] EvaUnit02@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I wasn't much in to it. It plays very much like a co-op procedural. Each player just kinda does their own thing and occassionally shouts at the other players while the app applies constant pressure.

The meat of the game is just in doing your part within the imposed stressors of the game. For that sort of experience, I think Space Alert is vastly better (and not obsolete!)

Sad, I got the game but never got the chance to play it...

[–] mihnt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean it technically still works if you have an old device laying around.

I think I played this game once back when I first got it.

Of course, now I have to see if the app still works on any of my devices so that I can keep not getting around to playing it.

Just as a caution, I did go download the Windows app off their website just to have a copy laying around in case I need it.

This happened to Jade Empire And Ridiculous Fishing and I am still upset about it to this day.

Isn't Jade Empire back cat on the Series X? Or was their. Jade Empire board game I'm not aware of?
