    And yet, it's the achievements we can actually look at any time we want since there's still no way to see all the leaderboards outside of posting a personal high score.

    So, how about you implement the ability to see the leaderboards other than when you happen to get a high score, or, if you're not going to do it in game, at least enable GC tracking for all maps (all the IAP and living room are missing from GC now). That won't be perfect since evidently a great number of players are on non-GC enabled devices based on the fact there's only a bit over 20,000 unique scores for Kitchen - Easy, the most played map on GC, but it would be better than the current situation.

    Wait, huh? You can click "high scores" at any time on the level select to view the top 50 scores for any level or difficulty.

    Furthermore, GC doesn't allow more then a certain amount of leader boards... this wasn't an oversight, its just impossible. Its also very difficult to alter/delete/change leader boards once they're set up. The best we could do is have the IAP/extra levels track the scores on our servers.

    That would probably be for the best. My guess is that very few will be disappointed to hear achievements are disabled for Treasure mode, but quite a few will be annoyed if they remain. Stay on the safe side ;)

    Apparently I need to go bean myself in the head with a 2x4. I've logged countless hours at this game for over 4 months and I just noticed the "High Scores" button that's been there every single time I played, yikes, my brain must be broken :eek:

    I will admit it would still be nice to be able to see more than just the top 50, but I do feel better.

    I have a question

    When the skin pack is released, will we be able to choose two of the same hero type. Like let's say you pick spider, can you also get his alt version on the same team?

    Can't wait for the update to hit though!

    Good question -- no, you cannot. We felt like that could potentially unbalance things and would've just been a bit funky within the UI... besides, having to make a choice between a hero or their alternate (and the skills that go along with them) is half the fun :)

    Oh Foursaken, I didn't mean spawning bugs like the Queen Ants do. It would sort of be like Fly's Banditos. I love that name, Banditos! :)

    FM, among all other "discussions" these days (what happen to you guys?), I have only one question: which day should I skip a can of soda so that I can buy the alt skins? Seriously, after all the previews, I want it right now....

    That's true. It would have been fun to have two of your favorite Heroes on the same team, but I understand what you're saying. Dam I'm gunna have to go out and get a new iTunes gift card just for the update cause my account has only 92 cents left lol

    Say! I like Hydrosparky's idea on Honeybee acting as a medic and an ability to create workers of some sort.


    WOW! New skills from contribution! Which bring me to the next point..FM! Are you going to create any more Hero after Praying Mantis?

    Same here.

    I hate buying iTunes gift cards, because I have to do it online using someone else's credit card.

    When all is done, I'll have spent $7 on Bug Heroes ($8 if you count BH Quest). Best $7 I ever spent.

    just some tongue-in-cheek whining:

    Is is really fair how flea gunner teams can just rip you up from offscreen? Particularly when they manage to trap you against a wall (or your base!) and combo their hold load into you..

    :)

    You have two solutions. One is to use a hero with large area of view, like Ant, possibly with goggles, so that they wouldn't be off-screen anymore. The other is to use a heavy hero like Beetle who doesn't get knocked back by their bullets. If you equip him with shield and warrior gauntlet as well with fully upgraded armor, he'll be nearly immune to their bullets, at least early in the game.

    What r u talking about?

    Dude all u have to do to see the leader boards is press leader boards! U don't even have to start a game! Really I don't get why u care so much about achievements anyway! No one can see them but u!:confused:

    Now it's my turn ;)

    Yes, every single person you're friends with on Game Center can see your achievements. Not that it was my point.

    My point is that I'm evidently brain damaged and somehow blocked out the button "High Scores" right next to Easy, Normal, and Hard on the level select screen so I mistakenly thought there wasn't a way to view the leaderboards any time you wanted yet, of course, seeing achievements was as easy as loading GC... capice?

    I used the firecracker turret recently for only the 2nd time (on the attic map normal) my main problem with it that on several occasions, it would knock the spider beast & grub spider right ON my food stash. i leveled it up to 4 but it was just too inconsistent. rarely hitting the trouble spots. has anyone here had great success using it?
