    This game is really fun in it's own way and the physics are awesome. Really had much fun with this one. Definitely will dive deeper into it to see what's more I can get out of it. It's like little big planet in a different way :p

    Hey just one more thing: Do you have everyplay? It's just that when I died there was this video button that took me to an everyplay video of that level. If so, well done cos I love everyplay # if not, it could be a feature to add

    Takeo, YES we do have Everyplay :) The video button appears when you either finish a level or die trying. By clicking the video button you get to publish a video of your drive in Everyplay.

    Here's the Everyplay page for What on Earth!

    There needs to be a way to delete a track that you've uploaded as I uploaded one instead of just saving it and it's a rubbish test one.

    Hello Sexy Pirate. I'm sorry you accidentally published a track that you we're not ment to. However, the thing with deleting already published tracks is complicated, as the new tracks go immediately to the Fresh&Free section.

    Once people have started playing the track and making high scores, it would be just rude to delete the track. And, if the track isn't very good, it will just sink to the bottom where no one will ever find it, so it doesn't really matter if it was published by accident. You don't lose anything by publishing a bad track, so its not a big deal.

    Of course, if you are worried about your name as a track creator, you don't want anyone to see any bad creations, so I understand this side too. We should definitely add a confirmation screen after you press publish. Saving a track wouldn't require any confirmation. This way we can make sure that no one publishes any tracks by accident. It's a good thing you brought this up!

    Thank you for your feedback, we'll see to this problem most likely with the next update on the game :)

    What on Earth! beta - feedback results

    The beta has been running for couple of months now, and we've received a lot of feedback. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to let us know your thoughts. We collected all the feedback together, analyzed it, and made some pretty big decisions about the future of What on Earth! based on the feedback.

    In short, we listened to the players, and now we're rolling our sleeves and getting to work.

    Here's a summary of the most important features and changes:
    1. Redesigning the menus and progression
    2. Adding vehicle upgrades and other customization
    3. Implementing more info and an engaging first time user experience
    4. Creating new ways to analyze, sort and offer content to the players
    5. Tweaking the energy mechanics

    If you're interested to read about these features in detail, you should check this feedback results post on our own forum.

    Btw, we're still more than happy to hear more feedback and if you still want to join the beta, just click here to sign up: http://bit.ly/WoE_beta
    When the new features are ready, we will let the beta testers try them first.

    Cheers!

    Hey Takeo,

    Sorry for the slow reply! We are currently working hard to make all the changes listed in the last post happen and to get the game ready for soft launch. We will definitely let you guys know once we have something concrete to tell about anything!

    We did set up sort of a dev blog on Instagram if anyone is interested to see some sneak-peeks on the upcoming graphics and gameplay stuff :) Here's the link: http://instagram.com/traplightgames

    Cheers!

    Beta is on a short break, but we'll be back soon!

    Hey there Chutch20!

    The beta is currently on a little break, as we are a bit busy with getting a new build ready and working. We are working hard to get the renewed and polished game into the hands of the beta testers as soon as possible. So yes, the beta is still on, even tho it's on a small break right now. If you sit tight for a little while more we promise you'll get to test it!

    Just sign up for the beta here http://bit.ly/WoE_beta and we will contact you as soon as we have uploaded the new version for you guys to test.

    We are really looking forward to hear some feedback of the new version here and on our own forum at http://forum.whatonearthgame.com/. If there's any older testers around, we hope you also enjoy testing the new version and commenting on it when it comes out.

    Cheers!
