Just got the update on Android. Now the game is decently playable. Easier levels aren't all that easy (though they must be I suppose if you already gold starred all 86 classic levels!), but they should have been right here from the start cause the classic ones can be quite daunting. I PMed the devs and am looking forward to a level skip feature. Reason is, the level structure isn't balanced in classic mode. I played some tough ones in Level 20~, but then later on there are some REALLY easy ones. The difficulty on the easy pack seems more balanced and linear which is good (played 30 levels in one seating!). As for discussion about Polara, the dev said he was glad this turned out to be nothing like Polara. Well, as a fan of both games, Bobbing and Polara may be quite different, but what (to me) makes them comparable is the level design. Near-perfect (varied, original, thought-provoking and brain-damaging!) in both cases. Pre-update, Polara would have taken it, but now with the easy pack it is neck and neck (though maybe Polara just edges it cause everything flows so well, unlike Bobbing). The saddest part is that both Bobbing and Polara, while possessing two of the best level designs for mobile games, are not commercially successful. Both have no f*cking IAPs, are fun to play, polished....yet all those IAP/freemium whiners don't put their money where it's worth. Sad to have seen the Polara dev demoralized and seemingly not wanting to continue making mobile games on his own, and I think the same fate could befall the guys behind Bobbing. If you want to go and do derivative games that the masses seem to like after this filled with IAPs, I have no problems cause you gave the preemium and original route a chance. And gave us Bobbing in the process. PS: I realize that there was a round ball character previously. Any chance we can have a choice to select that? The current character seems a bit out of place.
BUG ALERT! Level 39 (easy pack) is unplayable. It seems like an empty level. Whenever Little Bobby spawns, he just falls into the abyss.
As for the skip level thing, we are working on that today and rest of the week to bring it asap! For the ball character we will be implememting a way to play different model eventually. We had a meeting and a lot of thing to implement so we are not done yet Even if we don't have success we will be updating for some time.
How, no I was probably joking. What I mean by victory screen anyway is like if I complete the 45 easy levels, have something like "Congrats for conquering the Easy mode. Now on to the more fiery stuff". Something simple, a message, not a whole new victory screen with special animations etc
What's the status of the update on iOS? I'm really keen to get into it as soon as it's released so I can get that elusive place on top of the leaderboard.
Been sent Friday night, usually takes 5-7 days. But don't worry,TA will be the first to know, I will post as soon as I get the confiramtion email. Just get ready! By the way, it took 24 hours for someone on Android to finish the update everything 100%. I guess it wasn't hard enough BUT (it is), I think he is some kind of double headed mutant guy so he doesn't count.
Hey guys! Good news! The update is LIVE. 1.2 new stuff: -14 New Levels for Classic mode -45 New "Easy" Level -Tweaks and minor fix -Gamecenter auto-login As I said, first to 100% from TA gets a nice travel mug if you want. We have sometimes cool coming next and more levels of course! You can request stuff now! (I know iCloud ) Have fun and stay tuned! ^^
Fantastic update, thanks! I really appreciate having some more easy levels to play. It serves as motivation to get back to those classic levels that I am struggling with.
Thanks for the update! I'm still working on the original levels, perfect up until level 42 so far. Still loving it and it's a great game for both when I only have a few minutes and for when I have much longer to really work on a couple levels ^.^
It is ridiculous that after the Game a center login fix, there are still only 50 or so folks on the leaderboards for such a great game! I would love to see this get some review attention from the TA folks.
only 38 players on my leaderboard... so sad anyway, is the easy pack's score included in classic score on leaderboard? if yes, i'll finish the easy pack first.. edited: seems my game center doesn't load properly, it has 55 players actually
