This may not appeal to people who wish to play in short spurts of downtime, as not much will be happening when the player needs to wait on the game to finish tasks.
Con Expensive
How much for a mobile game?! Err, no thanks.
Con Only works on limited devices
TinyKeep, being a very graphically intensive game has been ported specifically for Tegra K1 devices with newly added support for the Tegra 4. Sadly this means that devices without a Tegra K1 or 4 will not be able to run the game.
