Still loving it but had three or four random crashes this evening. Playing on 3G as away from home. Just discovered the trophy thing. Very nice touch. I presume there's something wrong with game centre as the last time I looked there were only 51 people on game centre. If that's right then something is seriously wrong with the world. Top game with top music from a top dev.
I'll do my best! I'm sorry to report that I slept for close to 22 hours. In my defence I hadn't slept much over the weekend and have been keeping crazy hours lately - I think my woolly form needed it :O I'm fresh out the gates now though, and raring to go! Thank you sir! I think this is the best way for a game like this to reach a bigger audience. Please, if you enjoy the game, tell another human being about it face to face! Word of mouth is awesome! I have an idea about what's causing a crash. There's good news and bad news on this. The bad news: There seems to be a non-release of memory when switching back and forth from the 'i' screen. Therefore, if you've had a look at the information on the 'i' screen, when you get back to playing the game it will likely crash due to a big build up of memory usage. The good news: It shouldn't affect you if you don't use the 'i' screen - which would explain the long runs myself and others have been able to achieve with no crashing! I am investigating this as we speak, and I'm trying to drag a few knowledgable people in to look at it too. In the meantime, I'm finishing off the first update which will hopefully fix that 'non-running' bug. The problem with that one is that it's not easy to replicate. Before release I literally got caught in the tractor beam and hit by an alien at the same time hundreds of times on purpose without seeing this. Which is why I thought I'd squashed that particular bug. So I'm having to do that all over again! Hopefully with better results. @allofyou Thanks for trying the game, and your kind words. They really mean a lot. And apologies for any annoyances/frustrations with the game - I'm trying to fix it! Cheers! QS =D
8 each for each playable character. Fairly sure I'm right about that... 1 cup per planet per character would be another way of wording it.
Oops - sorry for the tardy reply, been a busy day! Heh - you're getting warmer, that's for sure! Congrats! Each character needs to collect a cup from each planet to see their 'ending'. There's 8 characters and 8 planets in total. So that's 64 to collect! Getting a cup will refill your air to full and telelport you to the next planet. If you're teleported to a planet that hasn't been unlocked yet via distance travelled, you'll unlock that planet 'early' by grabbing the cup. Hope that helps! QS =D
Well, I think I *finally* got the 'running still' bug fixed, along with the GC updating! I'm sorry it's taken so long - it's a very very tricky bug to replicate. It's literally trying something out over hours and hours. And then it'll appear again, and I have to go back and make another adjustment and try again! I *think* it's fixed though! 4am here and I'll be taking the game to bed for more testing! It's my birthday today (Friday!) so I will be out this evening trying to become unbearably wonderful. If all goes well I'll send out the update this afternoon before I go out! Still working on the crash bug! In the meantime, here's another review. I'm particularly taken by his, er, 'take' on it being a less frantic runner. It's certainly an interesting idea! What do you think? QS =D
Damn! Just had a score of 33,000 with full air and three smart bombs and it just crashed me out. My achievements also don't show in game centre but they flash up when I'm playing. That may be an iOS7 thing or my phone.
Ouch! I'm not sure what's happening with GC - sometimes it works fine, other times not - very difficult to tell what's causing it to be fair! :O I have put in several 'failsafes' for posting a score though, in an effort to make sure it updates at SOME point! Sending the update out today. If I'm honest, the 'non-running' bug has not been 100% fixed yet. It happens a lot less often in my experience, so that will have to do for now as it'll help a bit AND let me get this GC updating bug fix into the wild quicker as well. Be assured though, I will be working to 100% eradicate it if I can as I still have another update planned to fix the nasty crash bug! Thanks all! QS =D
My dream is a picture of the band playing the game A bit like that picture of Starbucks (old and new, Battlestar Galactica) having a Starbucks (drink) in Starbucks (the shop). Seriously, I think that's my fave geek picture ever QS =D
Just wanted to say that I am loving the game! All of the hidden references to retro games is such a nice touch. It makes me feel like a kid again ;-)
Mission accomplished! The update has gone out btw - just waiting on Apple to approve it! Fingers crossed it's soon! QS =D
Do not update Hey all, The new update just went live. PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE GAME INSTALLED. The game now crashes MORE often IF Game Center is on. I will be sending out an expedited update to the update today. The good news is I've now confirmed that Game Center is the culprit. If you turn Game Center off, it should perform as it did before the update. I feel a bit sick to be honest. Apologies all round. QS =(
