I have to double check; it's been awhile, but I think that the marksman to-hit bonus helps with other weapons too. Either way, the fact that smokebomb causes in-fighting is another way to do backstabs. Also, you have sleeping darts which is another way to do backstabs.
yeah sleeping darts help a ton... but i rarely find any outside the starting 6 darts =/ my luck in this game really sucks
Not really. While it shares cool retro graphics, it's much more a turn based strategy RPG than any sort of arcade experience. There isn't any real story or dialog either, just a game about seeing how far you can take your character in an ever increasingly nasty dungeon whipped up randomly each time you play.
iOS 5 Testers needed! So, 100 Rogues updates are on hold until our next game, 100 Trials, is released. Part of the reason for this is that both games have a show-stopping bug still blocking them (the black seams between tiles) that only appears on iOS 5. I still don't have consistent access to one of these devices. But! What I do have is a really good network of developers to help me sort it out, and I've already created what I believe will be a fix for the problem. Now I need someone to help test it. I am looking for 2 or 3 iPhone 4s owners and 2 or 3 iPad 2 owners to send me their device UDIDs. Instructions on doing so are here: http://bjango.com/help/iphoneudid/ Please PM me with your device ID and whether that is an iPad 2 or an iPhone 4s, and I will let you know if I can add you as a tester (meaning you responded before more than three others with the same device).
Yes yes! Thanks for posting, jrsco. The Dinoman Bruiser is indeed underway! Expect to see him within a month or so. Hooray!
Just letting you all know that 100 Trials, a game built around the great combat of 100 Rogues, is now live on the App Store. Here's the official TA thread for that game, if you're interested. http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=122044
Dinoman has shipped! I am making a blog post featuring his skills as we speak, but here is the update's changelog to hold you over. New player character: The Dinoman Bruiser! This Reptile Fighter is stronger and faster than any other, but his attacks make him hungry and sometimes even hurt himself. Best of all, he can become a Dinosaur! Balance Changes Zombies have an 'ammo' of 2 Tearing between map tiles on iPad 2 and iPhone 4s devices has been verified fixed. Combo mode shop properly scrolls again Instances of items disappearing from inventory when managing quick slots have been corrected Unusable item shops no longer appear early in the bandit hole Various other bug fixes and performance enhancements
Also, thanks very much for the video post, Sanuku! 100 Trials has been really well received, and I couldn't be more proud of what it brings to the table for new players and 100 Rogues veterans alike.
Hi Wes, can't wait! Btw, is the Cocos server going to be coming back? I have been wishing for online leaderboards again... Been enjoying 100 Trials immensely as well!
With 100 Trials taking a lot of my time the last few months, I haven't had a chance to look into secondary features like online leaderboards, achievements, playhaven support, facebook, etc. Another update is planned for about a week from now (or when dinoman launches, whichever comes later). I'll make sure to find and fix these sorts of issues by then. Glad to hear you're enjoying 100 Trials! Gotten to Satan's lair yet? I've been aching for some feedback on what may be the central mechanic of our next game.
Cool, thanks for that. I hope Apple hurries with this update, I really have been looking forward to trying the Dinoman eating mechanic. Haven't gotten all that far in 100 Trials yet. Actually, I haven't been checking releases very frequently and it flew under my radar for a while. I'll let you know what I think if/when I get there though.
Its out in Europe, downloading *edit* Damn it just crashes at the new logo iPhone 4s After I deleted it, it started but as some strange 100 Trials version (not the normal one) No idea what is going on
It's out in the US: Downloading now...can't wait to finally play him. Thanks for the update! EDIT: Ugh...same thing is happening to me. It loads the 1st level of 100 Trials, as soon as you beat it, the game shuts off and will not let you re-open the app. I tried restarting and reinstalling with no luck. This hurts!
