Boxy Kingdom 1.1 Notes Boxy Kingdom 1.1 Now LIVE on iOS! We just pushed out our first update to Boxy Kingdom, and it addresses some of the more simple quick-fixes we heard from the Touch Arcade and Facebook communities. We particularly focused on new player experience. It's clear as AAA game devs, what felt "easy" to us might not have been all that easy for a lot of you -- so here's what's changed. In addition to some little bug fixes and optimizations on different devices, the bulk of the changes came in the form of balancing the early-game difficulty. For those of you who have already mastered the basics of the game, you probably won't notice much has changed. But for newcomers who felt a little overwhelmed, we tweaked some of the following settings a bit. - We pushed poison mushrooms out a bit, so you don't have to learn how to deal with them while you're still learning how to deal with basic enemies. - We pushed the spawning of Fire and Poison Drakes out a little bit as well, to give new players more time with Orcs and Goblins. - We lowered the initial Spike trap density. - We stopped spawning random Coin and Heart drops on top of spike traps. While we thought it was a fun risk/reward gamble to present to players, it ended up just being more annoying than anything. - We've made warning signs more prominent when you're lit on fire or poisoned, to better instruct players of their impending doom should they not seek a remedy. Remember, when you're on fire, look for water barrels -- and when you're poisoned, find a green antidote vile! - We delayed the appearance of the Guardian Dragon a bit to give new players more time to line-up their backstabs. Most of these settings scale up organically over time. So after a handful of games, you'll always see the normal volume of spike traps and variety in enemies from the very beginning of a round. And if you've already played a whole bunch already, you might not see much change to difficulty at all! Lastly, if you're on a particularly promising run (indicating you've mastered the basics), we return the difficulty to where it's always been, this way there's no worry about people cheating the leaderboards by gaming the systems designed to make new-player experiences better. Please keep your feedback coming! We're thrilled to see so many of you playing and having such a good time with Boxy Kingdom. More awesomeness to come! -JD Play Boxy 1.1 > http://bit.ly/BoxyIOS
Don't say that...that's who I'm working towards levelling up. She's awesome! Level 13 only but slowly getting there...
Hey hvianna! Wow, level 19 already -- So close! You definitely should be able to progress to 20. Can you send a screenshot playing as Mindy so we can see the progress bar along the bottom to get an idea for where it's getting stuck? Might help us track down the anomaly. Best, -JD
Glad to know! I've been playing only with her for the past several days. She's awesome! The whip attack is really helpful since you don't jump to the enemy's spot. Love the humor too! My favorite Mindy quote: "Oooh you're such a cute treasure!" (with a kinda maniac voice) The XP bar looks pretty full (also in the character selection screen) and I've kept playing for a while after that, just in case.
So here I am again after playing a lot more and I still love it! For all on the fence: Go ahead and try it, it is the best RPG-Crossy-Clonish Game you can come across and it is really a lot of fun! Still waiting for Mifi support to make my first purchase but I am pretty sure that I will empty at least 10 € right of the bat! The characters are really fun but I still have some more suggestions: - Again make a more detailed description of what the characters do (loves dragons = more dragons will spawn in each level etc.) - Please allow us to veto certain characters! I would love to play random but dislike some characters. I would really like to have a random-favorite option or something along those lines. - Mifi Support (mama please!) Thanks for the great game, enjoying it very much so! PS: Also thanks for the very detailed patch notes here, I really appreciate those. Was about to ask for them but they were already here couple days back, gj!
He there, just got 18th on one life on the leaderboards pretty cool! Wanted to report a bug and one request: bug: I pushed a fire can while on a log which made me fall of the log. Seems weird and not intended. Request: Prevent TNT triggers right next to TNT. In some very close corridors this is certain doom. Otherwise still enyoing it. Also I have multiple deaths where a swipe was a step forward or some other misscontrol like that, still waiting for mifi, sorry for beating a dead horse here
Well I got good news! It took some time to track down and was a tricky one, but we believe we've fixed the Mindy Jones Level 20 bug. We'll have an update out next week, we could use your help verifying the fix . Cheers, -JD
I've just updated the game and the fix works! I started a new game with Mindy and as soon as I advanced a couple of blocks she leveled up!
BAM. Thanks for testing!! Full notes: - The Knight (Lance) now has a voice! He's quite the charmer, but still a steady hero of all that is good! - Fixed a bug which caused some heroes to not reach level 20 - Added option to watch an ad to continue rather than spending heart gems - Removed loading screen (not needed on fast devices) - "Walkin Dude 2" quest now rewards 50 heart gems per step!
I would like another mode to cut down on the playtime of one session but not have the rush of 60 seconds to it. I am top 30/50 for longest runs and it really takes some time now to try to get past that. I waited for a few weeks to see if parches would ad anything but after buying one legendary character and having most others unlocked there is nothing else to do except Grinding Highscores. New characters are long overdue in my oppinion and another game mode would mix things up as well.
