Differences[]

There are a number of differences in Powder Game (AG) and the PC version of Powder Game, which includes:

  • Until ver2.2, Powder Game (AG) lacked a speed control option.
  • Until ver2.1, Powder Game (AG) lacked a text function.
  • In Powder Game, two different elements can be added to the playing screen simultaneously by left clicking and right clicking at the same time. Also, the two players can be controlled at the same time in Powder Game. Both are not possible at Powder Game (AG). However since iOS ver1.5 and Android ver1.3, both players can be controlled at the same time in the iPhone 5 and Android devices.
  • The saved content in the Save-Load function is lost once the user closes the Powder Game interface. However, such content can be saved when the user terminates the Powder Game (AG) process. In addition, multiple saves (up to 32) can coexist in Powder Game (AG) whreas in the PC version a new save always overwrite the previous save.
  • In Powder Game (AG), the game screen can be zoomed by up to 32x while in Powder Game, the screen can only be zoomed to 16x.
