Yup, though I've seen someone complete the game at rank Explorer ( they got the rank bug and just ploughed through anyway ) Yeah, at the moment "Endless Mode" is a bit of a cop out, You can keep playing, but once you've got everything upgraded there isn't much more challenge. Game Center coming up will add a few more achievements that you can do afterwards.
I made over 10M at level 8, now I'm level 10 and I'm scoring little over 20M now (looking forward to leaderboards so I can check other great high-scores)
It would be really awesome if the next update brought some more upgrades and skills. After all, I have nothing to do with all of my XP and gold now! I want to keep playing this game but without a leaderboard or anything and having obtained all of the upgrades it seems like a dead end.
I've been reading through the last pages of this thread, but I am still confused: if you reach the top rank, having maxed out all the rooms and gear, is it still possible to raise your score? I finished with around 8,500,000 but I can't seem to get it any higher, even switching potions on. Do I need to start over and try again?
No you dont need to start over, just need a good and lucky run. Personally I used the shields potion and one of the score potions (not all because it became too tough for me). Similar to during the game, when some of the objectives seemed near impossible and then you got lucky and had a good cascading match that got you a pass.
Lucky is key... plus great skill of course. I was able to get my 10mil with the shield potion on, and all the score potions off. I found I was doing worse with the harder circumstances from the score potions.
I completed with the shield potion and the extra key to unlock things potion on. I always have a board full of keys anyway so I thought 'what's the harm?'
Its very random. I can only get above 10 million maybe once in 5 tries. I use only the shield potion. I am not sure how much it helps, but it has no drawbacks so why not? My high is 14.7 mill with no potions and not even all upgrades. I have tried maybe 20x to beat it with all upgrades and shield potions, but have yet to even break 12 again.
Got my freedom last night and then got my last upgrades and goals achieved. To get over 10 million I put on all the scoring bonuses. After 3 or 4 tries I made it. My total play time was 4:36 or some such amount. Not sure how much I'll play now that I've done everything - GC leaderboards would certainly give incentive to keep playing, but either way it was well worth the money.
So I just keep doing more runs, and if I managed to crack 1.5 million in one go, it will add to my score? Because literally no points are adding on at the moment.
The score displayed in your home area is a "high score", the Dev has stated that he gets several e-mails a day about this and will most likely make some sort of indicator of this in an update. To get a higher score in the game, it is necessary to do the achievements and gradually level up, as this increases your score multiplier and gets you more abilities to delay moving to the left (death). Word of warning, the one known bug in the game is when you do finish an achievement or level up, wait a second before hitting the return home button. If you do it too quickly then you won't get anymore achievements and have to delete and reinstall the game (I had to do this). Hope that helps.
12 mil!! Awesome game, eagerly awaiting updates. Not that I won't be trying to beat my high score, but this game was so golden that I need more.
Ah, so that's the problem I'm having. Anyone know if this bug will be fixed or if I really have to delete and reinstall? I figured I just needed a higher score to see more objectives, and have maxed out everything. But I am still stuck at Questor level despite a high score pushing 5 million. It will really stink to have to give up all this work and start from scratch. Thanks
Thread life!! Was just wondering how/if Gamecenter stuff was coming along. I still play regularly trying to best my highscore but look forward to having some outside competition to compare to. Rock on.
Why do we need Gamecenter? Leader Boards er somethin'? I haven't opened the GC app in over 3 months...
Finishing it in 6 hours and 4 minutes. Seemed like it was longer than that. Anyways great game but hoping for more content in the future.
