    Love the game but that save bug is still killing it for me. To lose a "new" save is one thing, but to absolutely lose all progress is pretty infuriating.

    Would implementing cloud saves help fix the problem?

    I want to keep playing this -- it's addictive as hell -- but think I may have to sit on it until I know I won't lose any progress.

    You know, I'm really surprised about how civilized everyone has been with regards to losing their save. Normally I see people ready to torch the town, but here people are taking it pretty well.

    I think it's probably due to how receptive, attentive and helpful the devs have been. Good job guys!

    I am highly impressed with Bardbarian. There's such a high level of attention to detail here. I can't believe I waited until today to buy this great game. This deserves, not only to be featured by Apple, but to be sitting in the #1 spot on the charts as well :D

    Trying to pin this one down, but really not sure what's causing it. My best bet at the moment, is that the devices are extremely low on memory, and for some reason the save is failing, or getting corrupted when it writes. But it doesn't really make sense, as the file is only 600bytes.

    Is your device very full?

    Cloud saves would probably help but would take a bit to fully implement and test. I do believe though, that these files should get picked up by iCloud backup... not sure if that helps or not in your case.

    I just wonder what kind of sick world we live in where people can give this 1 star?? I didn't know they let patients at the sanctuary play iOS games.

    I completely agree with this. There's NO WAY anyone could play this and not, at least like the game. There is a ton of content here, cool graphics/animations and just an overall fantastic style of gameplay that I find to be unparalleled on the AppStore.

    My device stays pretty full because I stream music and the device fills up as the streaming puts data into a cache so it doesn't cause skips.

    What I was wondering is where you are putting the save file. There was an issue with Jet Car Stunts 2 where downloadable content was being saved in a directory that iOS uses when running out of space so it always deleted that DLC first.

    Here's some info from that thread about halfway down the page you'll see that the devs made a fix to move the DLC to an area that wouldn't be erased.

    Since I don't have save issues with any other game currently, including KOTOR, which apparently has very large save files, I suspect this may be the issue with Bardbarian's saves. Maybe you could touch base with True Axis to see how they fixed the DLC issue.

    Well we use Adobe AIR, and rely on it's API's for a secure location to save files. According to docs, and many other developers, it is stored in a safe place that will not be purged on low memory condition. So all I can figure is that the write itself is failing or getting corrupted.

    iPad air, 64gig wifi. Every time I tap the bardbarian icon within Game Center, game enter immediately crashes, does this every time

    Dang. 482 reviews and 5 stars. It's starting to slowly move up the charts in the strategy category here in the US

    I did not start the game until the update. I have just connected to Game Center. No achievements... When I started the game on the first wave, an achievement for killing enough enemies appeared.
    I have cleared the first three sections of the main game but have no achievements for them. I bought and even fully upgraded the pet but don't have the achievement for getting it.
    Progress towards a "get enough gold" achievement did show up.
    And I have a fully upgraded ninja with no fully upgraded unit achievement.
    I do not like Game Center. It does not work offline properly. It's my own accomplishments! How does it not work offline?!

    I've been doing this on file 3... That shouldn't do anything though. And it doesn't seem to.

    While the update fixed the loading screen and Game Center issues for me, I've now run into a different problem. When battling the final boss, the game will freeze. I'm able to pause/quit/restart but not to resume the game. This has happened with or without GC activated.

    It's a bummer because at this point, I've fully upgraded everyone and really just want to beat that final guy. Hopefully this issue can be fixed.

    I'm playing on a 4S running the latest iOS with no other programs running in the background. Thanks.

    So how come the brawlers follow in front of you in the campaign, but behind you in survival? I find that they are far less useful being behind my guy, and I seem to pick up a lot of them in survival.

    Also, are not all the units available in survival mode? I don't think I've ever seen a tank, necromancer, healer, or shaman.

    I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this bug yet, but after a while my necromancer stops summoning exploding zombies. I think this happens after the 3rd boss or so. This kind of makes her useless... anyone else notice this?

    Oh ok, sorry about that, I must have missed that post.
    I was using Necromancer + Wizards, but that team falls apart when zombies no longer spawn.

    What are some other good class combinations? Are any of the 15k classes any good?

    New build which should be coming by the 6th I believe, it contains Endless Mode and fixes for the Zombie spawning issue and final boss freezing. Also features a redesigned Survival Mode with a better difficulty curve.

    About 2-4 weeks after that we have the End Game Content Pack coming for free, which has some pretty sweet additions. :D
