    Hi

    Is there any way to update the part of a game like desktop applications. I mean after we deploy a game can we give updates to the user not the whole game but the map, levels etc of the game.

    Of course, many games on the app market do it all the time, often to deal with lag and glitching issues. I don't know the very intricate details of it though since I'm not a game developer or anything, but every app I've had has always had updates where only small things were changed. This is actually encouraging as it makes it look like the developer actually cares enough to check on his/her app and fine tune it.

    Obviously...

    What are you developing for, Google Play or iOS?

    Yes mobile game updates are possible. I update games on my iPhone all the time. You almost have to periodically update a game, to ensure it fixes the bugs.

    People update all the time with big things like that. Take Minecraft on the app store for example. IOS Minecraft started out with just really barebones stuff, now it has a lot of more features like crafting and more features in the land.

    Just from a consumer point of view, I've seen a lot of developers offer both small and big updates. So I think you'd be able to control it as much as you need to.
