    Please make this universal. For some reason I thought this already was so and bought it. A soon as I saw that little box appear when I clicked the icon to start I groaned and quit.

    Put me with the group that doesn't buy iPhone only games anymore, except by accident :)

    Pixel doubling is disgusting most of the time.

    Really looking forward to that update, Foursaken! Thanks!

    As a stop-gap measure in the meantime for anyone experiencing game stability issues, I've found that switching between the High and Low "Game Effects" level makes a difference on my 4th gen iPod Touch. I was experiencing a weird lag + control insensitivity during round countdowns, but this disappeared when I set the game to the Low effects level.

    I had to set it back to High for Coliseum mode though -- game consistently crashes for me when I try to select the Spider in the second arena (kitchen sink) with the effects level set to Low.

    We'll likely be submitting the update this weekend, so hopefully it'll hit sometime next week.

    So what are peoples' favorite hero so far? Mine is definitely Beetle ;) He becomes a beast with some of his later abilities, and can chain stun many of the larger enemies into oblivion.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I am using iPod Touch 4 and I think I can wait for the patch first...

    Game looks very good. Can't wait to play but I'll be holding off the purchase to wait for the iPad version.

    Congrats to 4saken on getting featured! Bug Heroes looks like a truly fun game to play. From the overwhelmingly positive feedback, it seems you guys have really put a lot of work into this game. WTB praying mantis!

    Well, after spending a good hour or so with this I can honestly say I can't remember playing such a polished iOS game. Fantastic fun, too.

    It's clearly a labour of love. You should be very proud.

  10. Great game, love the style of the gameplay :)
    I'd say it trumps dungeon defenders, which to me was the best game in the app store .
    I just simply can't put this game down !

    For those who have random crashes (happened to me once or twice), try closing other games running in the background. I had quite a number of games running and that might be the cause.

    Also, I love the game :)

    how intensive is the gameplay and the survival mode? so basically how long is the average game session.

    I thoroughly enjoyed beta testing this game for you guys! It's a "Must Have", I'd say.

    If you're not as good, you won't last that long :p

    But there is a nice autosave system in place so you can exit it and come back. The typical play session is probably closer to 20 min, I tested this so I have more experience.

    The game autosaves after every wave. A wave is 1:30 or 2 minutes long (one of the two!)

    Just bought it earlier and I was amazed! :eek: I played for about 2 hours then my food got ransacked by centipedes. lol. Seriously, this is one of those games that I will never delete on my device. I can't wait for the future updates!

    The best dual stick shooter/RPG/Tower Defense game on the iOS to date!
