Well let me rephrase. This was a combination of multiple genres as the title advertises, so I was looking for something really unique and was confused on whether there was more to it than what I expected. Guess I expected too much :\ At this state, I'm not too interested unless it's on a sale or something. And considering how I was let down with NY Zombies as well, I think that'll be the smarter decision. (No disrespect meant at all to the devs, NYZ was not a bad game by any means, it was just praised as a really great game by a few here and I just didn't find it THAT good)
I agree. I actually love this game and play it more than an hour a day, but when it was promised to be an RPG/Turret Defense Thingy, I thought that we would be able to place turrets in more areas than just on the food stash, and there would be more exploration and story involved. Instead, it's still pretty unique, but it's a lot like other dual-stick games, just with extra defenses on the place you're defending and extra characters.
It does have all the promised elements, just not exactly how we expected them to be. Even though most of the individual parts have been used hundreds of times in other games, they combine to make something that just feels original and fun. And the excellent graphics and sound work are icing on the cake
That makes sense. It's more like a very deep dual stick shooter with castle defense and some RPG elements that a pie with each element making up a perfect third. Dizzyjw: You're going to like Stampede for Beetle.
I guess you're right about that, but I'd still like a more adventurous level in which it's possible to leave the stash for 20 seconds without it being completely overwhelmed.
Its hard to tell, but have you even played the game? And sorry but how is Bug Heroes not "really unique"? To be honest I'd be curious to see what you think is actually a more unique action game in all the apps store? I'm not saying one doesn't exist, but to say BH is not extremely unique, imo is I understand some people want a larger adventure/story, but we chose to focus on replayability over a large single player game that you play through once and are done with... especially at the $2 price point. In the end though, can't please everyone We are happy that it seems that 98% of all impressions and reviews so far have been excellent And of course as always, thanks for the thoughts and impressions everyone.
Hmmm... In the first twenty waves on kitchen, 5 of them are defense waves... 75%+ of the game you don't have to worry about any bugs eating your food. But again to each his own We appreciate all the feedback, good or bad. Though we can't always change certain things, we are listening! Also, the stability update is now In Review! This means it'll likely be out tonight or tomorrow. Let us know how things play as soon as you are able to update!
I wasn't really talking about the kitchen, I was talking about the more later levels. In the playroom, it didn't say anything about a lot of bugs heading towards the stash or anything, and I literally only left for maybe 10 seconds when I got a message saying it was being attacked. When I got back to it, it was almost completely destroyed by maggots and grubs, and I wasn't able to save it in time. Also, does the firecracker also hurt the heroes? I've had a few explosions come out of nowhere and hit me when I was standing next to an enemy, although I couldn't tell if I'd taken damage or not.
The mistake a ton of people make is spending all their money upgrading their heroes or even just one hero. So they are holding the bugs off fine, but then they leave on a quest or for food and their stash gets killed. Make it more clear that you need to upgrade your heroes and your base guns. Also, what is up with the "u" in your logo? It looks more like a J (I forgot to ask you this in beta):
@ Too Tiny -- I'll look into the balance of base eating bugs on waves without a warning in Playroom, though Office and Playroom are by design a bit more siege heavy then the other 2 levels. And FireCracker Turrets do knock your heroes around, but they do not hurt them. @ K -- haha, that pic is like 10000 years old
Hey I know this is extremely random and irrelevant to the topic, but how do I post screenshots? I found a typo and a glitch where I started floating in the air, and I'd like to show you.
Download ImgurFree from the appstore. Browse for your screenshot and then upload it. Copy the URL into Safari and add
You might be able to with iTunes, I don't know if it let's you take photos off of the device, I've never tried. Assuming your not jailbroken, otherwise just ssh.
Sync your device with whatever photo importing program you prefer (iPhoto, Microsoft visual studio), find the picture, drag it to your desktop, go to imgur.com, hit browse and then upload it. Normally, it's just so much easier to upload directly from your device. You can attach it to your post too, but that doesn't look as good.
Here it is: I know this post looks like it's here for no reason, but it's actually because I goofed with the URL of the screenshot and then accidentally posted the right one all over again instead of editing it.
Misspelling: "weary" should be "wary" For some reason, I can't find the floating in air one. I think I might have deleted it What happened was an Armor Ant hit me with a bolt and knocked me off the edge, but I didn't fall. I just sat there without being able to move. It was in the kitchen right next to the stash.
