It's still being downloaded 800-1000 times a day in the MAC App store. I'm thinking of keeping it free there and keep the iPad version at .99 cents. jonmulcahy Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2009 500 0 0 http://www.tinystarship.com #10 jonmulcahy, Jul 15, 2011 Version 1.2 is getting submitted today for both iPad and Mac versions. - Fixed an bug preventing the computer from giving you instructions in later levels. This was kinda important as it told you stuff like you only have 4 jumps on the blue asteroids, the red asteroids explode after 5 seconds and the brownish asteroids turn to dust after one jump. - Fixed a few levels where two asteroids were so close it would cause the player to jump between them - Further tweaked the 'drift zone' to prevent unintentional triggering. This happened most often in galaxy 2 - Slight tweaking of gameplay sounds, player walking, jumping, and dark matter collection. - Other various (small) tweaks jonmulcahy Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2009 500 0 0 http://www.tinystarship.com #11 jonmulcahy, Jul 22, 2011 1.2 was approved last night, should be showing up today (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
