Yep, same here. The game looks amazing but I just can't buy an iphone game anymore. I play 99.99% of the time on my ipad, and 2x mode is pretty blah. If an ipad version or universal update comes, ill buy on day one.
I feel the same way. But I would like to know beforehand if there will be a Universal update or if a seperate iPad version will be released. If I know this will go Universal, I will buy it now. But if an iPad version is coming, I will hold off until that.
Totally understandable. I would say hold off on buying for now until we make sure of how we will handle the iPad version -- we will be sure to announce it here.
Bought this few hours ago, played it for like 20 mins, and I must say, I absolutely love it. :> One little problem though: when the game announces the beginning/end of a round, I get a few second long lag (4g touch).
More impressions (= praise) will come once the review is online, but I will say this straight away: this would make for a FANTASTIC online co-op game! If it so happens that the idea has already crossed the minds of the brilliant minds over at wherever your minds are located at, Foursaken, feel free to drop a confirmatory hint in this thread, which will inevitably result in me mentioning in my review that the best is yet to come
Keep in mind that while Gamecenter will come in an update, currently there are still tons of achievements and our own leaderboards to compete in.
Geezus! Just made it to round 17 in the sink on EASY with Beatle. I was completely overwhelmed! He attacks so damn slow I just Got overrun. I can't imagine how hard it is on normal, let alone Hard!
I can never seem to find those survivors and coins when it challenge thing comes up and it always lags for like 10 seconds when a new round starts but other than that this game is really fun.
That is pretty good actually (round 17 = about 25 minutes)! Keep in mind coliseum mode is meant to be a quicker paced game. Rounds are shorter and you are likely to die quicker. Think of it as the "action" mode of Bug Heroes. Adventure mode is where you can really get some long lasting games going. And of course your scores will get higher the more you learn... we will definitely keep our eyes open if too many people complain about difficulty though! The trick with Beetle for ex is to use his stunning and knocking abilities to buy you time to maneuver. Also don't forget the more you play, the more powerful abilities you will unlock! Then again maybe Beetle just isn't for you Maybe try Spider? @ Jonakin -- we are aware of a very slight stutter in between rounds, but it definitely shouldn't be anything more then a half a second or so... this is the auto save kicking in. At one point we had a saving pop up appear, but the beta testers hated it, so we removed it... if enough people are finding the auto save an issue we can certainly discuss putting back in the mandatory saving screen in between rounds (only problem with that is it kind of breaks up the "flow" of the game).
@ Foursaken Media Congrats on the game making it out and many many positive reviews. In regards to crash logs are you guys still taking them at the beta@foursakemedia email?
Sure that'll work. Likewise if anyone else experiences any crashes and is willing to send us some logs, please PM me! @ Leegames -- we have yet to finalize any plans for an ipad version (i.e. unsure whether it will be universal or a separate ipad version, or when it will come out)... but we will make sure everyone knows whats going on with it when that time comes.
I have this saving pop-up between waves (iPhone 3G) and it´s my only minor gripe with the game, because it really breaks the flow and lasts a bit too long (feels like two seconds sometimes after using the device a lot) But other than that really great crossover, very fun and engaging!
Game looks great, downloading now. Always nice to hear the dev answer questions and let us know about future updates.
Thanks for the reply. Gonna buy it, play it at x2 and hope you update it to universal later. Everybody seems to love it.
@ amusing Grace Thanks And yes, unfortunately for lower generation devices there was no way around the saving pop up. Ideally we would just remove auto save between rounds and have it save when you press the home button or exit the game, but that is just too risky @ everyone else -- Thanks! Come back and let us know what you think and if you come across any issues...
