somehow the game is not as smooth as other cave games but still it's ok and it's great game, the only flaw is that the default leaderboard in GC is for normal mode.
Update on this: For some reason putting my iPod in airplane mode or turning wireless off stops the crashing, I guess it's something Open Feint (as mentioned earlier, even if you choose not to use it you get stuck with the notifications) or Gamecenter related? I don't think scores you get while in offline mode are added to the leader boards so for anyone competitive this is a pretty poor fix, but at least its playable. Oddly I can play fine on the iPad with wireless enabled and connected.
This game is about 7 bucks cheaper than Death Smiles. I still have no clue why that game is overpriced to hell.
Every CAVE shmup has launched at $4.99 as an introductory price. Considering the amount of time and enjoyment a lot of us have gotten out of Death Smiles, and the AAA production values, you could argue that it's actually a good deal. Blame the inflated iOS economy for acclimatizing us to cheap games.
I think this is nothing new to you, but my ipod 4 cannot handle the 1.0 release version. Crashing ALL the time. Never saw the first Boss, mostly it crashes when you can shoot these little worm things and get some crystals. downloading again, perhabs this will help somehow!?!? pity, was so excited...
Correct. I don't want to buy this and then another "full" version later as well but I really want to try it....
AFAIK, there is still no official news from Cave regarding "another" version of this (hope futari will come next )... And 4.99 is a pretty good deal for a title with such quality....
that would be a slap in the face from cave... dont like the idea of another fullversion after interested gamers have spent their $$$ on the "lite" version... hope there will be a kinda iAP or so. second download, reset and now I can play it awesome!
yeah, I'm REALLY enjoying this one... actually, I think more so than DDPR. =oO Runs smooth as butter on my 4th gen running iOS 4.3.3
I'm really liking this... after I rebooted my iPhone 4. At first it would crash repeatedly, but after a reboot it's working fine. One thing I really appreciate about this game is the relatively simplicity. Just two (virtual) buttons to deal with. I think that works better on a touch screen, at least it does for me. I note that they made it clear that this is the "Arcade version", so presumably an iPhone mode version is coming and maybe a combined version too? I kind of hope they don't make a combined version and just keep them separate, otherwise I might wish I'd waited for the combined version.
i played the stage number one on the highest difficulty in normal mode already several times and the score is always a bit different and i am sure i dealt with all enemies and picked up all gems. so maybe there is some variety in the levels or the scoring also depends on some other things.
Crashing issues on my ipod touch are definitely openfeint or game center related. With wifi on I never seem to have the Game Center login popup and the game will crash within seconds of starting a level or even going through menus. With wifi off it seems to be running without problems, So far
Lots of problems with my 4th gen iPod here too. Starting the game seems slow and the OF banner doesn't help, always says failed connecting. Then when I do things in the menus I get crashes like when I was checking out the history section. It is also very slow when navigating certain menus. I haven't had it crash during play yet but I have been turning WiFi off. Hopefully this gets a quick update.
Tried that. Strangely it was working ok with wifi on last night after I purchased it, But not today for some reason, Despite a reboot. Ah well, I'm happy enough playing with wifi off for the time being.
Did you try rebooting? That seemed to clear it up for me. EDIT: that was to Drucifer, but i see you are still having crashes after reboot. Darn. I hope I don't run into that now and that they get a fix out.
HOLY CRAP WOW!!! Ultra Mode is AMAZING!!! Even on Normal, it's blowin my mind.... gonna have to check out Hell difficulty, play on it as long as I can, and then go back to normal, see if I can actually get through the game... =oD LOVIN IT!! And yeah... Bug Princess is right under ESPGaluda II on my favorite Cave shooters list.... but ESPGaluda II was the first Cave game I ever played... so it'll be hard to knock that one outta the #1 spot...
