There's a lot more content and improvement going into the final global launch version that's launching on Nov 12, but this soft-launch version in Canada gives you a good indication of what the game's about!

Thank you for the kind words. We hope you'll have fun with the game, we certainly had our share . LordShad0wz Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 4,280 1 38 #9 LordShad0wz, Oct 21, 2015 I cannot believe you are making me wait until November to play this game! Why can't you Guys soft launch in the USA. Lol Exact-Psience Well-Known Member Jan 12, 2012 22,664 2 38 The Work-At-Home Guy Philippines #10 Exact-Psience, Oct 21, 2015 Im loving it. Really enjoying it. The single currency, the visuals, the rate of earning gems as a freemium title, and most of all the unique mechanics. It does have it's flaws though, and since it is in open beta/soft launch already i think i can just point them out here. First off, the tilt sequences. It's pretty inaccurate i think. I dislike tilt in general, but i am confident in saying that the tilt here is really off. My suggestion is to either tweak the tilt controls, maybe add a bigger hitbox for gathering the gems, or remove the tilt and replace it with "tap left or right to fly in that direction" instead. The tilt can be unnecessary and could be replaced with something that provides a more accurate control. Second, some enemies charging at you cant be seen until they are too close. This only happens when you are surrounded by obstacles, and when you are in an awkward curving path that obscures the view further ahead. Also, even if you have a clear line of sight ahead of you, you can see the enemies popping in too close. Maybe have their spawn area farther from your location. Third, i think the game needs a doubler to give it a premium feel. Purchasing a doubler should also remove the ads. The ads are pretty rare so far though. Does purchasing any other IAP remove the ads as well? Fourth. This im not sure coz i havent tried, but please have a limit to the number of revives. This will keep the leaderboards balanced, and still allow for more incentive for those willing to pay money for extra gems for reviving. I will keep on playing this game as it does scratch the runner itch well, but im hoping some or all of the points i raised will be considered. Thanks!

We will actively monitor this thread and answer you questions. Any feedback and suggestions are always welcomed. @Exact-Psience - your feedback is much appreciated. We could polish the tilt controls, but because no one complained about them before we didn't considered them to be a problem. The idea with them was to break a bit the pace of the game from time to time after a lot of repetitive swipe actions. - the problem with the enemies is tricky. this is something that we tried to avoid, and we are always looking to new solutions for that. Because of the context, tubular world, tube curvature, environment, sometimes is harder to see the enemies and indeed can become frustrating not having enough time to react. Enemies popping out of thin air is something that shouldn't happen, but as we got similar feedback we are actively looking to fix this. - we don't have right now removal of the ads by IAP. It is something that we're considering though along with a doubler. We show ads only after 10 - 15 deaths. We don't really love them but depending on how well IAPs are going we might go for a more ad oriented monetization, but in that case we will have to integrate them really well to avoid being to intrusive. - our solution for revives, at least for now, is to keep doubling the lifestones you need to use after each revive for a given running session, with a cap limit of 128 (we think of lowering this to 32 for release). We think this will make players make a choice between restarting all over or spending more lifestones for beating that record if they are close to it.

We only have right now a single global leader board and use your Facebook friends for a smaller leader board. Very similar with what Subway Surfers had or has. [Edit] I was a little quick to answer this one and it was misleading. The high score is kept on Facebook and Game Center not progress. In order to support progress persistence we would need a server to keep some form of user accounts. That would require additional work. We choose not to do that mostly because of the additional effort required and because the majority of other runners don't do it. So if you uninstall your game or install it on another device you lose your progress. Only high scores are persistent.

I don't mind non forced ads where you get in game rewards to view them. I can choose when to view those so I don't eat up my 4g data. But forced ads I need to be able to pay to get rid of them. They do use my 4g data and when not on wifi and it does add up. Also I love coin doublers as its a restorable feature. If your game is good I'm happy to give my money for both of these items. Billy twispby Well-Known Member Dec 28, 2012 133 0 0 #16 twispby, Oct 25, 2015 Loving this game so far. My only gripe is that the quests seem a bit buggy. Particularly the triple-kill x number of times and this one...

The increase was a new one! Other than that it's awesome sauce! heretique Member Oct 22, 2015 10 0 0 #18 heretique, Oct 26, 2015 The missions were a little buggy when we soft launched (the build on the store is a bit old). In the meantime we fixed most of them. We are about to submit a new version to App Store for the global launch. This will not contain removable ads or coin doubler because there isn't enough time to properly implement and test restorable IAPs (Apple approval takes around two weeks) but these will be added as an update after that as many of you are requesting them. For ads, right now the solution is to disable 3G/4G during playing to reduce traffic. twispby Well-Known Member Dec 28, 2012 133 0 0 #19 twispby, Oct 27, 2015 One thing I'd recommend is some option to skip missions that people get stuck on. Either by spending crystals, or items, or whatever. In my experience the missions seem to change the frequency of certain things appearing in runs. For example; I need to trigger 4 traps in one run and I have only seen three in my best run after playing all day. Before that mission I would have runs with 10 or more traps. Could just be bad luck, but the same seems to be true for treasure chest missions, or any other item based mission. As soon as they pop the items become extra rare. I understand if that's by design, but it'd be cool if there were a way to skip the super obnoxious ones! And I'd echo the crystal doubler! heretique Member Oct 22, 2015 10 0 0 #20 heretique, Oct 27, 2015 The missions can be skipped in the missions panel (main screen->last tab). If you tap on any mission it will expand and show you the price of skipping. This price is based on the experience points the mission gives you on the current build. We found it a little to easy to skip missions in the current version this way and the price in the upcoming version will be based on mission experience but also your level. Also it's worth to note that missions do not change any probabilities in games, if it happens that you don't get that last drop or something similar is just because of bad luck. We are not modifying probabilities after a particular event happens. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
