    Thanks for the feedback cadillackills! Hopefully you have already found out that it does indeed get more difficult as you progress. New items and vehicles all add new interesting elements and difficulty to the game. Keep gaming and please tell us if you have any other feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts :)

    Hey Chutch20, I'm sorry you've had to wait for so long! Can you please send us your email either as a private message here or sign up here: http://bit.ly/WoE_beta. We just sent a couple of invites, so if your email was on the sign up list, then you should have received your invite just now.

    If you did sign up earlier, then you definitely should have received your invite already weeks ago, but there might have been some mistake... In any case, can you resend your email and we'll invite you to play asap! Sorry again for the mix up.

    Game offline for couple of days - New build coming

    Hello everyone!

    Just a quick announcement. What on Earth! Beta will go offline very soon, and will be offline for atleast a day, maybe two. We are migrating some servers and uploading a new build to Testflight. The new version will be ready for testing as soon as Apple has approved it. This process has usually taken 24-48 hours.

    I am also sorry to tell you that your progresses will be reset once again with the new build. There are a lot of changes in the progression and meta game, so it would be impossible to keep your existing progress.

    We can however get you your old levels transferred to your new account. If you want us to transfer your levels please contact us and tell us your GAME NAME and the NAME OF ONE LEVEL that you have created. This way we can identify your account even if there were some other players with the same name.

    We are really sorry for the inconvenience.

    However, there will again be a lot of new cool stuff in the game, so we hope that it will make up for the loss of the progression. We will make a post about the new features soon.

    Cheers!

    Hello everyone!

    The new build 2.1.5 is now ready for testing! We have loaded it with tons of new features. Here's a short list of stuff that has been changed or added:

    *********************************
    Choose your vehicle
    You can now choose to ride any track with your favourite vehicle! We can't PROMISE that you can actually complete a track with other vehicle than the one that it was built for, but it's sure fun to try!


    Flips and boosts
    You can now rotate your car in the air much like you can do with the bike. This enables you to do front and back flips with both vehicles. We have also added a little extra boost, which you get when you make a flip in the air. Try it, it's super fun!

    [​IMG]


    Side paths
    We have added little side paths to the Planet, which will make your gameplay experience much richer and give you more choice over what to concentrate on when playing. For now the side paths have extra missions like Editor and Versus maps, which are not compulsory but can give you extra rewards. In the future these side paths may also include for example impossible levels with really high rewards at the end of the path, tracks made by your friends or different kinds of daily quests.


    Versus Race and Rank
    Now you can show off your racing skills in the Versus Race, where you compete against others! You start from Rank 25, and your goal is climb all up all the way to Rank 1. When you win a Versus Race against someone, you earn a Trophy. Similarly if you lose a race, you will lose a Trophy. You need 4 Trophies to climb up a rank.


    Builder Challenges
    To teach everyone how to become a great level builder we have now added Builder Challenges as a new game mode. After researching a new item you will come across these nice little challenges and puzzles in the Editor that will teach you how to use the new item when making your own tracks.

    Empty Levels on the Path
    To integrate the Level Editor better into the actual gameplay we have now added Empty Levels to the side paths. This means that as you progress you will find new Empty Levels on your path. These are used to build and publish your own levels, much in the way that the previous Level Editor menu was used. The only difference is that the game mode and vehicle are fixed for each Empty Level.

    If you don't want to build right away, want to wait for another combination of vehicle and game mode, or if you save an unfinished level, you can always just scroll back to the Empty Level on your Path and access it any time you want later on. When you publish a level it will appear on your Profile Menu.


    Profile Menu
    From your Profile Menu you can access your ongoing Versus Races, the levels that you have published and your Friend Levels.

    We have also removed the Alien Menu buttons from the Planet, as most of the features are now implemented on the path (such as the Editor), or are accessable from elsewhere (Upgrades, Rent and choosing vehicle only at the start of the level, Researched Items only in the Editor). This has made the Planet more simple, and the player progresson more fun as you just have to move on the path, and not worry about going to extra menus all the time.


    Decorations for the Editor
    They are nice and pretty, and they are freely at your use for now, so promise to make some really cool looking levels!

    *********************************

    Unfortunately we will have to reset everyone's progress. If you want your old levels linked to your new account, please contact us with your old and new game name, and tell atleast one of your level's name (if you remember).

    Thanks again, and please give feedback! :)

    Game Title Changed + New Thread

    Hi everyone!

    We've changed our title from What on Earth! to Big Bang Racing. The game has also developed a lot since the first post in this thread was made, so we decided to create a whole new thread for the game under the new name.

    Here's a link to the new thread (and there's a new trailer there too!): http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=277244

    You can continue to give feedback here, or on the new thread :) Cheers!
