It’s common for developers to deliver both sets of graphics and let the device screen resolution determine which are used. That could account for identical file size….

They bought Clever Contraptions and renamed it. It’s a rip off of The Incredible Machine – old but great game. Unfortunately Amazing Alex is much worse.

They had to have some fight with Asus that caused it (maybe Asus didn’t pay them for promotion or sth like that?) because the game works without problems on Asus Tablets.

Yep, noticed that just now after looking it up on my Nexus 7. Hmm…maybe there will be support soon. Guess I’ll just try some Tegra 3 games on it for now.

Your third post making the same incorrect point. Do your homework before criticising, and then at least you might be able to criticise accurately.

Do your homework and you’ll see that Rovio PURCHASED the team that made Casey’s Contraptions. This isn’t a rip-off, it’s just a rebranding of a game they now OWN.

Young’ns. The Incredible Machine was made in 1993 for the PC. I think it played on my old 386. Kinda predates Clever Contraptions, eh?

My comment wasn’t opinionated though, or at least I didn’t mean it to be. lol

i think someone needs to decompile the regular vs hd version to see if there really is a difference being they are exact same file size….

Yeah, that or Clever Contraptions, they have pretty much ripped both of them off blatantly. I guess they are now paying an employee to watch the Market and see what good but not hugely popular games they can completely copy and package as their own. But in the case of Clever Contraptions it looks dead on a blatant rip off.
