getting the game

apparently there is an iOS version that works with devices that run iOS 9 or older. As iOS 10 is no longer supporting 32-bit apps.

In this thread are some links: https://www.reddit.com/r/mirrorsedge/comments/8pbkjm/anyone_has_got_the_ipa_file_of_mirrors_edge_for/

you can install the game using a 3rd party installer (like iFunbox) on your old devices.

There is also a Windows Phone variant - that seems to be still in this store page:

an archived here: https://archive.org/details/mirrors-edge-mobile

maybe if you have an older Windows Phone device you can play it. It's "currently not available" on the store tho - but you can find a version to download in the comments of this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZmwuWo3IWA word is you can emulate windows phone with Windows 8 or 10 but only Pro. It is worth a shot for those interested.

There is hope due to a lot of work being done for touchHLE, with support for iOS 3 and newer planned, follow progress here: (will update once Mirror's Edge mobile is confirmed to work)

Known tricks

-You can save time by rolling below obstacles.
-If you queue a jump after a roll and a roll after a jump when on a narrow balancing part you will not lose speed. 
- in 5-2 you can avoid third lever and just hit the end trigger, segment could be below 1:10 from current testing.
-there is a buggy prop in 5-1 (and others) that can teleport you when you land correctly and get hit: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/458257799?t=0h26m32s there is a small timesave. It might also glitch out otherwise: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/84363703 (unknown what happens or how to use it).
-in the beginning of 6-2 you can shortcut the beginning, different routes might be possible. If you fall to far (or too fast) you will get reset to start/checkpoint. Furthermore the boss fight can be done in under a minute if not less - there might be RNG to it. Best known Boss fight: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/749969291?t=0h33m28s
