I’ve downloaded the game several times, both via my computer and direct to my iPhone. I’ve rebooted, done a hard reset, freed memory using the Activity Monitor app, I even did a Restore in iTunes. (I did then restore from an old backup, rather start over fresh. There’s only so far I’ll go!)

Still, the results are the same. I start Sketch Hop, I get this.


The music starts, stutters for a while, then seems to play okay. I even seem to get a few sound effects, but all I see are shifting blocks on the screen, often with a little bit of fancy shading over on the left of the screen. In case the developer comes back again and finds it useful, here are some of my stats from Activity Monitor.


I’m a bit worried that there’s something wrong with my iPhone hardware, but I’ve tried Blue Skies 3GS, my only 3GS-only app and games like Terminator Salvation and Real Racing and they all play fine.

Oh, and for the record, I have not “jailbroken” my iPhone. It’s running all official software and always has been.
