Thanks for clarifying. In this case it doesn't feel like much of a difference to have 3 or 5 lives available. I'd still rather go for infinite lives even though you're probably right it's not necessary. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be more than managable with limited lives anyway, once hype of a new release is gone. Considering to support you with an IAP, I'd rather go for customization. It just feels like a much better deal to me from where I'm standing. Let me make up my mind by playing a few more games...
Ok so here's a weird addition to the issue. I was at 4 and when the countdown timer finished it went down to three instead of up to five... Now it's sitting at 3 again with no timer Very odd
One other minor bug to squash: if a friend invites you to a game and you open it with no lives and a few seconds left on the countdown, you can't play a move even after the countdown runs out, unless you quit back to the menu. Also, it's a shame that an opponent leaving a game doesn't count as a victory towards the 8 in a row achievement. I had eight in a row including 1 quit. I didn't want to avoid playing my move in a game I was losing, so ended my streak there, but I worry that these achievements will act as a disincentive for people to complete games they are losing.
I have all these waiting games. How do I delete them? Never mind I figured it out. Apparently you need to play your first word before someone can join
Bought the icon customise to support you guys - was about time we had a decent asynchronous online game with words. BRILLIANT
Looking for other TA players, my GC is vic sark Pardon my French (literally lol) as English is not my native language, I might use strange words from another continent that miraculously translated in english
Happy to play again if you want to send me a challenge. I have no hearts myself at the moment. I dread to think how I'd get on playing in French, although I do sometimes find French words which are longer than any of the English words I can find.
2:30 here, I guess I shall call it a night though, tomorrow will be a new day for 3 letter words Thks to the Marsh Bros for a brilliant game once again. Fun to play directly with devs, no pb @eeen you're excused to work on updates lol I'm still wondering which IAP I would get to support your Tesla recharges, as it seems you made again a free game that doesn't really need IAP. Also wondering why you didn't go for the video ads for a life that seem to be the usual deal right now in FTP? Video Prices are down or just experimenting?
NimbleBit you have done it again! WOOOOOOOOOO I like - The style. It's simple, easy to view, and easy to understand what is happening and where everything is. - Stats. I like how I can see how many games I have played, and my Win/Loss ratio. - Local multiplayer. Where has this been! For a long time I have been looking for a good local multiplayer device to play and one has finally delivered. BRAVO! - Uniqueness. Its very, very unique. Plays a bit like a words with friends cross capture game and works very well. The feeling you get when you come back from being behind is great! I dont like - Waiting for others to play. They take so long! - Lives. I understand this is here for you to make money. But I wish I could have started with more. Some suggestions - Time limits. I don't know if you wanted it to be a game where people could play a round every once in a while but I found it incredibly irritating waiting for someone to play a turn. Without the time limits people will most likely go off and gold for words they can come up with and as a result cheat which will break the game. - Reward people who invite others to the game and reward them further when the users they invited have downloaded it. - Reward for winning games. At the moment it feels like I win YAY but that is about it. I don't get a life or anything and bragging rights against a random opponent means nothing. Maybe gain a life for winning a game and lose it for not winning? - In game chat. So I can brag to my opponent
Ha! That was the one. Cheers. I was meaning to look it up and find out what it meant but forgot what it was.
The more I play this game the better it gets! I just wish I didn't have to wait half an hour at a time to play it.
