Awesome game made more awesome by the update Bought all the IAPs. Awesome, just awesome, and definitely worth the money. The wait was worth it! All the heroes were really interesting. Only played the coliseum so far, but got the furthest with fly. Anyway, 1. The coliseum tutorial mentions about wild mushrooms, but this does not apply to the sink and the new level. Maybe remove the tutorial altogether, and lock the other two coliseum levels until the player plays the tree stump level? 2. For me, the extra eq for ladybug came unlocked. There wasn't any unlocking process for it unlike all the other new heroes. Awesome work, foursaken!
Super Quick impressions: The addition of so many heroes to what was previously a super tight, super balanced game has me nearly as befuddled and clueless as I was when I first got this game. For me, that's a good thing, but the flip side to that is that, wow, you guys really aren't interested in being accessible are you? There's just so much going on now that it will be days if not weeks before I even begin to internalize all the changes - as counterintuitive as it might seem with the core game going free (at least for now), you almost should have locked the IAP for new installs, only unlocking one pack every 2 weeks unless people agreed to a "I promise not to whine I'm overwhelmed" TOS So far, Attic is my favorite new area, seems to flow better than Garden or Restaurant and the twist of thieving spiders and treasure chests was fun. Restaurant is a second place quick favorite with the strategic possibilities of the choke points. Garden, in spite of the freshness (and annoyance ) of ladybug and stinkbug enemies, felt like a smaller, less varied yard to play in. Have barely had a chance to form opinion of the heroes: - Fly seems a general all arounder but can't decide if he's really useful yet, that short range on his guns is a major handicap - Grasshoppper seems like he'll be fun once I get a better feel for his melee - Worm, tricky in that it's barely useful until you get a few abilities on him, but then he can take care of scenarios that give everyone else trouble - Ladybug, most immediately accessible for me in that it plays like a more versatile spider - Termite, I love builder strategies in games so I'm intrigued, but so far haven't found his abilities to offset his general weakness in combat. I'm probably doing it wrong - Stickbug, I've played a couple of games with him and still haven't done more than got him killed, definitely need some time to figure him out. Think I definitely need to hit the Coliseum, but the big thing I feel like noting is the faster abilities like are on Ladybug and Worm: this is a great change in the abstract, but I find it awkward with the given UI. The new enemies are a nice bit of freshness, some commentary: Ant Necromancer - did you take it personally that people would opt to ignore giant spiders or ant queens? Brown Recluse - Might want to consider capping spawn number on these, already ran into three of them at once, wasn't really anything I could do but wait it out because as soon as I switched to a different hero, it was poisoned by one of them. Other than that, it's an interesting new enemy that makes us think about team setup and balance. Also can confirm the following issues reported by others: - Ladybugs's equipment all unlocked - Labels in Hero Awards are incorrect for some heroes Also seem to be having a lot more instances where the controls stop responding for no apparent reason until I lift off and restart. One suggestion: Nine heroes is begging for a "random 3" one button quick start solution.
1) Updated 2) Insta-purchased all 3 IAP packs 3) Trying out Ladybug in Coliseum first - so far great fun (like I expected anything less)! Really enjoying trying out her skills, and the counter-attack based nature of lots of them. The speed seems nicely balanced for her other abilities too. 4) Need to come up with an excuse to leave work early to continue playing undistracted by things like conference calls and design meetings. Thank you Fours4ken!
Because they just added three HUGE (contentwise) $1 IAPs in this update. IF you want the FULL experience, even if the base is free, it will cost you $3.
Thanks FM but one probleam Update is great! I love it and got all three packs. The only probleam is I am having a crash here and there and when I try to change profiles it crashes every time. I am still enjoying this one of a kind incredible game. I am sure you guys will get a fix for these crashes. I am on a Verizon iPhone 4 if that helps. Also to the people who are complaining about it being free., STFU. Sorry but complaining about it being free to promote the IAP shows you must be a child and not understand how the world works and that people like the guys at FM are not here to do everything you want for nothing at all in return. They are not your parents you spoiled snot nose punks. I can't even imagine how much love and time went into this game it's worth everypenny and I am happy to buy every IAP
I downloaded it for free. Is this a sale or is this the new model, with the money coming from IAP? In any case, I approve. Some people seem to have an issue with this approach, but to me it makes perfect sense. I can try the game out and if I like it I can buy the full version without having to start over, and the IAP are still transferrable to other iOS devices we have (at least, they should be. I hope that's true for this game). I'm looking forward to trying it out later tonight on my iPad 2.
The update is great! The only problem I am experiencing is the small game stutters during things like day/night changes and bugs showing up every once in a while. I'm running on iPhone 4 IOS 4.3.1 non jailbroken. I've also deleted and re-installed, but I've had this small noticeable lag prior to updating. Never mentioned anything cuz I was waiting for the update to play more and was hoping for the update to maybe fix it but It didn't. Any news on a possible fix soon for it? The game ran smooth at once I'm sure of it.
Agree, that would be a big plus for the indecisive and/or for those who want to change things up a bit. Random map option would be welcomed too, but not necessary. As said...GET THEM ALL!!!
The problems people listed have all been noted and we're working hard to resolve them... Don't worry, just because this big update hit does not mean we are taking a break We'll try to get something out asap!
