    Just out of curiosity, what were you "in for"? How are we pushing IAP at you?

    I see you've said this a couple of times now, but this last update hasn't done anything to push towards IAP at all, in fact its only increased diamonds for hard, endless and lowered star requirements to unlock heroes... oh, and many missions are easier.

    Nothing else has changed at all that would make the game harder, or make it so you earn less of anything... I'm just not seeing where you're getting this from. Is the game still hard? Yeah, but its definitely not harder.

    Finally, I'll reiterate that imo, even if we only gave you 3 heroes and that was it, this game is worth $.99 - I'll stand by that. Like the TA review mentioned, each mode in and of itself is the equivalent of an entire game, and I definitely agree. We don't gate or throttle gameplay at all, and there isn't anything in the game actually pushing you to get IAP.

    I think in hindsight we should've just not given the player the chance to unlock heroes for free at all - should've just made it apparent from the start that they're extra by making them all IAPs. Shoud've kept stars for upgrades, diamonds for scrolls, and just not allowed hero unlocks...

    Yeah, its the combination of different ladybugs that's the real problem, which is fixed in next update... They'll still be tough, but you won't have healers healing shielders, and shielders shielding healers making it impossible to kill them, for ex. Next update will have a clear cut order you should kill them - kill the healers, then kill the shielders (bc their abilities won't stack on top of eachother anymore).

    Tested icloud for other games and it's working splendidly. Something changed since the update.

    Worked for me. Have the latest update on iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Just tested on both. I can 100% guarantee not a single thing related to iCloud changed in the update.

    Banners:

    They look really useful. But expensive. Talking about the price of them. I clicked on buy for the red banner hopping for a confirm message. Nope, 50 gems down the drain. I was saving up to buy a bug. Dammit. :(

    That is weird. Both my 5s and retina mini fail to connect to icloud on bh2. I can't even manually upload to it.

    You say that, but it's 100% reproducible to install the previous version from my purchases list, and see iCloud magically work, then do nothing but upgrade and watch it break right after!

    Yeah. Something is amiss. I followed the troubleshooting steps to a T and still does work.

    Also to test I fired up H&C and it uploaded to icloud fine.

    This is a real issue now. During troubleshooting I also deleted the app and tried to re install to see if that would fix it.

    Well nope it did not and now I can't restore data from iCloud so I lost everything till this is fixed.

    FM I know you are strong to say it's not the app but it's the common denominator. My icloud works with everything else except this app, and only happened after this update.

    With that and other people only having issues with their icloud for this app it's hard to ignore the fact it's possibly the app.

    I'm hoping you can figure it out as I lost all my progress till you do.

    Great. That's what I was looking for. Also thanks for the decreased stars for hero unlocks. Also the star gem, I feel that was a fair way to speed up progression.

    So Cal
    So I tried to see if my iphone would pick up the icloud from my Ipad 2 and it did not work. So I deleted the app on my ipad and redownloaded it and all my purchases were gone! I tried getting it back but it wouldn't go and the updated gameplay was on my ipad! Anyway I can get this back?

    I would have to kill you if I tell you.
    CA! Sunny and awesome!
    I played on hard Kitchen for 11 rounds got 7 gems. That's with random selection of heros. That USED to be 25% more gems when doing that now it's 18%. Played hard level yard used or be able to get to level 16 or 17 and random heros buff and get 40 gems. Now? Cannot get even close to that level. Get to like 8 and get 3 gems. Either the heros powers were reduced greatly or the level was harder. Look I cannot even get to level 7 without massive slowdown due to so many bugs on screen. That used to happen much later. Was it 25% added gems with random select before? Now it's 18%. In mathematical terms that is a reduction. We parse all we want but I notice a severe difference in the game after this update. Out of all your games I have been a big supporter and not hating at all. But I see what I see. Gameplay is in fact harder with less gems awarded. Far More grinding needed or more IAP. I don't mind IAP with lots of games but I already spent $10 and money well spent. But feel lead to spend more or take a unrealistic amount of time unlocking anything else seeing as I run a bussiness and have a family so cannot spend 5-6 hours a day on it.

    What is the EXACT message you guys get when you try to upload?

    Anyway, I just did a fresh install, straight from the App Store to double check, and downloaded my profile from iCloud just fine...

    I'm not saying you guys aren't having an issue, I'm just saying its very unfortunate that we can't do anything about it... there just isn't even enough we can control with iCloud that would even enable us to even create "bugs" like that. We've double and triple checked our change-logs and our code, and nothing has changed in regards to iCloud for the past several months.

    Re: people who uninstalled their game... in the future please make sure to backup your data on iTunes before uninstalling! Email us at [email protected] and we can see about restoring your data.

    Here's a screenshot. Just an FYI, it comes up pretty instantly and doesn't seem to sit there and try to connect, or anything like that.

    Foursaken - do you have 7.1? I see that just came out.

    I am still on 7.0.6 on both iPhone 5s and ipad mini retina.

    Rest of you with icloud issues, what ios version?
