    You need to have the capitalization perfect.

    No, because you can never get everyone to know everything. Better to not give anyone an unfair advantage.

    Huh? I still don't get it. If you post information publicly, maybe some people won't bother to read it, but it's not an "unfair" advantage for those who do. It's entirely fair because everyone has the same access. On the other hand, if you make some information nonpublic, then you're guaranteeing that some people will have an advantage over others, based on what they've discovered.

    But even though it's on toucharcade, it's still not really public. The insectopedia is completely public and everyone can access it, but Toucharcade is completely hidden from most players. If the person finds out the information on their own, then they have a right to it's usage. Am I saying that all discussion about Bug Heroes strategy is wrong? No, just that the developer has the responsibility to provide equal knowledge to all users, and not give special people an unfair advantage.

    All this is backed up by the laws about insider trading on the stock market.

    No one ever asked me for the triple secret pass phrase to get on this site.

    I guess this means you're just joking and I shouldn't take your comments seriously in the first place?

    What? We have a mole in our ranks! But I'm trying to say that the average Bug Heroes player doesn't know what TouchArcade is and won't find us here. If I write down something on a piece of paper and dump it in the street, is it really public? Technically, anyone can access it, but very few people would know that it exists. Same thing with TouchArcade.

    What? Where do you get that? If Bug Heroes is a company and Foursaken Media is the management of that company, they have a responsibility to keep everyone filled in. If they gave extra information to a select group of investors, that would be insider trading which is illegal.

    Sweet, thanks. Now I am fairly ready to admit how much of a noob am I at this game :D.

    I MADE IT TO ROUND 20 IN EASY KITCHEN!! :D :D:D

    Yeah, I know, not a really high score for all you pros, but I was pretty proud of it and things really did ramp up quickly. Beetle saved my hide right till the end! This is an awesome game!

    Sorry, good enough, I somehow was under the impression it was only a small handful of like 4 spots, 30 is more than sufficient! :cool:

    I think what K was saying is that everyone has the potential to figure anything out on their own just by playing the game, so its not unfair per se. For ex if 2 people owned the game and one figured out that coins spawned in the same spots that food spawned and the other didn't, its not an unfair advantage because the other guy has the potential to figure it out on his own as well. I mean heck, part of being good at any game is figuring out more about the game then those who aren't as good.

    Either way,

    Actually, the way the game was designed was so that anything over round 20 would be considered EXCELLENT ;) We actually never intended people to reach THAT high of rounds, but oh well... can't really prevent pros from moving down to and playing easy.

    I disagree. There are many games where everything about how the game works is public, so figuring out details that other people don't know isn't an issue at all.

    And I prefer games like that.

    I love this game, but I wish that big battery didn't block my view so much in the office level. Also, a countdown timer for after the game is paused is badly needed. Thanks for the great work.
