Bad resolution changes after last update

Hi, 

I've been playing for over 2 years every day and find this game enjoyable but a couple of days ago, coinciding with the Christmas update, my game has become nearly unplayable for me.

-Icons for the factory items are much smaller which strains the eyes, puts more strain on thumbs and is far easier to produce the wrong item.

-Same thing with shop icons. Much smaller, adding to extra strain and accidentally making the wrong items.

-Lay out has changed with all icons around the screen being smaller so it is harder to tap them and more added strain. Empty space left and right of the icons shown in screenshot.

-Also I can no longer tap directly off of one shop onto another. I have to double tap. In a game that requires daily endless grinding, it is fair to say we want things to be as efficient as possible. This is a step backwards.

-The game is not running as smoothly with these resolution settings. 

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S10e and has never had an issue with the game before.

Please go about fixing these issues, or at least give us options for changing the resolutions ourselves.

(Item icon in factory that is being produced is the size the other icons used to be, for comparison)

    If you haven’t already I would recommend you send a ticket to the support team so that they can hopefully fix the resolution issue. Make sure to contact them from in-game so they have information like device, game version, OS, etc.

    You can also try and change the resolution yourself by downloading a third party resolution changer (this article here shows multiple ways and apps that let you do it)

    Hope this helps!
