The update definitely makes a difference and plays pretty smoothly...cross my fingers For those still having crashing problems, try rebooting or delete and do a clean install. I know the clean install isn't ideal since you'll lose your progress, but you get to enjoy a relatively stable game and experience 100 Rogues for what it's supposed to be.
plays much smoother. had a curious event happen first time playing it tho. after i killed the genie, i had killed 2 peace sign scarabs so there were 3 blue potions on the ground and the one red. when the genie died a bunch of coin bags appeared (new effect right?) anyways after i picked up all of my loot. i realized i had 22 blue potions! i should have had about 6, but somehow i had much more. im not complaining now.. but i thought i would mention it.. thanks for all the updates and everything! this is my favorite game on iphone!!!
Second time I played Fairy Wizard in this game and this update came. Hand Granades saved me in Hell! Not a single crash and I managed to beat Satan and for the first time ever appear on online ladder (Fairy Wizard, 3rd place). Yay!
scoring Last time I played, I was able to complete the game (still 2.0). When I saw the scoring I was surprised that Satan is worth 0 points! Can a dev please elaborate on this design choice? For me, the game is alot about high score. After all, in most cases you die and the score will tell you how well you've done. By giving Satan zero points, the rational (high score) player should stay in Hell 3 and continue to kill the monsters there (that will give very high score per kill), dying by hunger eventually. There is no point in killing Satan then (well except for maybe the accomplishment of beating the game once). Maybe I am missing the big picture here, but what is the rational about this? Why isn't Satan worth a nice score, so it will boost you high score when beating him?
How do u get past the guy boss in the bubble. I know I'm somehow supposed to kill those four apprentices but I cannot target them. I can't cast spells on them I can't attack them. I managed to kill one using a mana potion grenade with aoe effect but that's the only one I had. Also spells I learnt using the spell book was unlearnt when changing levels. I dunno it feels like every update things always seem to go wrong. I loved the initial release but stuff like this really gets to me. Such deal breakers. I e mailed the dev but no replies yet
Blag, people *miss* the old icon? We've gotten complaints since day 1 about it! Also, @Baronic, sorry, I do try to reply to every e-mail I see come in. Regarding Acolyte, you should be able to target them like everything else. I know the red highlighting square gets hidden by the buttons, but that shouldn't be preventing you from actually attacking. I'll grab a clean copy of the live version on my way into work and see if I can repro it. 2.2 is almost ready to roll, guys! Scoundrel coming soooooooooooon!
*** Enjoy a 60% discounted price during our Holiday season sale! **** Does this mean it will be on sale for a bit? I need to head out this weekend to get another gift card. Been waiting for a sale on this for some time now.
First of all, I love this game, and I'm very excited about the update. Second, sorry about this -- add me to the "I miss the old icon" list. I liked how it conveyed "loot" and "rogue" (via the @ sign) at the same time, and well, I just kinda liked that bag -- who knew? I think one thing i liked about it is that unlike most of my iphone game icons, it was minimalist and not too busy. And listen, I know you guys don't think retina is needed for the game, and I'll concede it needs it less than most, but please make the icon hi-res! I have other games that have done this even if their gameplay assets are not upgraded. It just kinda drives me nuts to see a low-res icon there with all my other nice ones. Other than that, no complaints! I've been recommending this game to everyone I know, and the bug fixes / balance changes are only helping with every update. Thank you for making an awesome game!!
Oooo you're on the board! Yay! If it helps I was using fairy. And no it wasn't hiding by buttons or anything, it wasn't highlighted. Tried restartung game and everything. Even tried teleporting directly underneath the bubble so all the baddies can't get to me, and spamming amefyst, hoping to level up till I learn the 3x3 aoe ( I pumped full amefyst) but I died from hunger haha. Btw don't forget the spell reset after reading the spell book item! sounds like it's similar to the bug before regarding the stats gained from Items reseting after changing levels.
The really bizarre part of that bug is that the effect of the spellbook only extends to the skill point counter; once it's incremented the code handles the points and any skills purchased with them identically to if the player gained a level. Anywhoo, we've been in super-overdrive-testing mode for the scoundrel roughly a week now, and have another day or two before shipping her. I'll scour for these for a bit today.
FYI, just did a round with the Fairy, used two spell books and did not have any issues. Wes (or Keith), could you please explain why Satan is not worth any points? This really piqued my interest BTW, can't wait for the new char!!!
Okay I just realized what is the problem. When I used my spell book I uped second chance for fairy. And then I just closed it and when I checked in I realized the second chance skill did not have a "dot" i started over with fairy again and now after lvling up For a bit I upped second chance (not through spellbook) and just realized that the dot immediately disappeared. So problem lies with second chance itself? The boss in bubble bug occurred in version 2.0. And when I updated to 2.1 and loaded the game I still couldn't attack the acolytes. Just FYI.
Hehe, I think you needed to throw up an icon poll on the company blog. I certainly never complained about the charm of the old icon
Oh! Also, Easter Egg time! So, we recently lost our one development iPad, and the playlist selector for custom soundtracks doesn't run in simulator, unfortunately. Since I had no way of testing the feature, I included it as an easter egg in the iPad version to test it. Well, I've tested it, and it's usable, but in a weird spot on screen. If you want to select a playlist while playing the game on an iPad, just enter one of the following as a profile name (capitalization / grammar sensitive): iPad iPod iPud Let there be music! Simply Rock into Mordor! when the game starts you'll have the iPad player available in the options screen. (High scores won't be recorded when using this code) Oh, and about Satan: he wasn't given points up-front because bosses worked strangely when he was first made, and he never got points since because you don't really need the experience. I agree it's a bit unsatisfying to see the 0 on the tally screen, though. I'll give him something for the next update.
Also bug regarding the kitty statue that follows you around. Wands don't deal damage to it anymore (supposed to be magical?) Btw anyone killed that damn thing before? I just run away cuz it seems as if it's invincible no matter how much I pour it in. Does it drop something really nice? Wes I think we posted same time so just thought I'd draw your attention to my findings on the second chance fairy skill. Two posts back.
Oh I just replayed fairy. Got to guy in bubble again. Yes I can't target those four acolytes directly. But I won anyway haha ready this time with my 3x3 aoe, grenades and unholy fire staff. But should be addressed. Very expensive to kill him currently lol
Made my first run with the new update. Made it to the Pope, but didn't beat him. Game ran as smooth as glass with NO hiccups whatsoever. I also received about 5 bags of gold after killing the Genie. If that's new, I approve! I was actually able to buy some stuff, which was nice since I was still using the wooden sword at that point.
