    Yeah, this was the game that broke my Castle Doombad addiction. And the bugs will surely be fixed; these devs clearly stand by, and support, their work.

    Yes you can play with GameCentre on until you hit the bug.

    Basically, the bug is due to reporting more than 100% on some of the achievements. So as soon as you collect more than 100,000 gold, or kill more than 1200 enemies, the game starts reporting like 100.1% completion to GameCentre, and this throws a nasty error that I wasn't aware of. As far as I can tell, the bug affects everyone signed into gamecentre, who has completed either of those achievements, that's why it appears to only affect late-game players.

    I log achievements both at the end of each wave, and when returning to the store, and that's why there's issues with both the loading screen, and the next wave not spawning.

    Great game. Really enjoying it so far but have encountered some problems (this issue was already reported in the thread, I think). I'm playing on an iPhone 4S running the latest iOS.

    Whether I start at Wave 1 or a later checkpoint, no enemies will appear after a wave is completed. My crew just stands there waiting for the next wave but none comes. This is only a recent thing, though I've also had the loading screen bug and a few other glitches.

    I've bought the coin doubler and the small IAP; not sure if that has had an effect or not. I'll try logging out of GC and see if that helps.

    EDIT:
    I know this'll sound dumb, but how do you sign out of Game Center these days? Can't see a way to do it from the GC app. Settings?

    Did everyone else lose their game save? I don't know if that is part of the bug everyone is talking about, but today I went into the game and the tutorial was back on and everything was reset. I had to restore my purchases as well (got the doubler).

    I was logged into Gamecenter for the majority of my play. I didn't make it super far, unlocked 2 or 3 extra characters and made it somewhere into noon.

    I've lost my game save twice so far. (iPhone 4S iOS 7) Hopefully the update will fix this issue.

    Anyone else found the final boss ridiculously easy to beat ? For me, it was the less challenging of all, i've been kinda disappointed by it.
    That said, the game is totally awesome, and all the good critics are well founded !

    43% to bardbarian so far!!! Keep voting dudes this game needs to win.

    Can I just say, rarely has a game with this many bugs had such a loyal fanbase! I attribute this to a few things.

    Firstly, although buggy. The game is awesome.

    Secondly, the Devs are absolute legends!!!! Never have I seen such an active and open dev on the TA forum. I really hope you guys do well as I wanna play more of your games!!!!

    So if I have a long game going and I have to exit the app and come to it later after I have closed the app, I notice it starts me back from wave one. Is there a reason for this? Or maybe plans to make it auto save so I can resume back at wave 10 or wherever I left off on?

    Thanks

    Every 5 levels, the game remembers that you reached this level and you can choose to start directly at wave 6, 11 and 16.

    Yes he was very easy. I think the monster waves are supposed to continue as you fight him. They didn't for me though.

    Ya there were supposed to be waves of dudes that spawn when he roars, with them it's a pretty crazy battle, without it's way to easy. It's been fixed in the latest build.

    I was hoping apple would have done the update by now usually expedited ones are pretty quick. Haven't played in a few days waiting : (

    wont work at all on ipod 4G

    Hi,
    This one wont play on the ipod touch 4G. Are you (the devs.) going to send out an update to correct this? Reading alot of reviews saying the same thing but for other devices. Lots of crash bugs in this one

    Bug report

    I got an unlimited Speed song on around wave 6 or 7. I activated it and it just never left. The movement speed boost stayed but not the firing rate speed boost

    Unfortunately the publisher will not expedite the review :/ It was submitted Monday, so hopefully Friday it will be live.
