    I don't have one...
    In AMERICA.
    In some levels there are these weird colored orbs like the one in the tutorial mission but different colors. You just run up and touch them.

    Merci beaucoup mon ami! (That's French for "Thanks a lot my friend!") :p

    PS How did the dev manage to integrate that feature into a "cracked" app? Is there a way for the app to check if it is cracked or not?

    The dev probably integrated a special piece of code that's activated when an app is cracked. App cracking, which is unethical, illegal, and frankly deplorable, usually involves breaking a security lockout. Once that security is penetrated, the dev's code activates and automatically locks out levels. The dev is obviously wise beyond his years.

    I'm definitely buying right now, all you guys convinced me! downloading.....

    if this is episodic half as much as Pocket God, it could sell for much more! could get a good following, especially if you keep up on the great music

    Love it, i'm several levels in.. can't figure out how to get new weapons though i appear to be buying them? not available in lower right menu either..

    don't regret this purchase at all, i love how it is free roaming and you can take your time and snipe at guys or run in guns blazing... the dash thing is kind of clunky and i accidentally keep hitting the menu button (my thumbs there jeez!)

    would like to see that moved in a future update!

    4/5!! definitely buy, well worth $4.99 for the music alone!

    There's apparently a major update coming along. Scroll down the first page and find the developer's comments. http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=11377&highlight=caster

    Hah i was just about to ask this same question. This boss is great and I'd love to see more monsters of that caliber on the iphone.

    If you already completed a mission, can you replay it and earn more spending points? I thought this worked, but other times i didn't get any credits. Do you have to achieve a high score?

    actually yes because you have to download it from itunes to get all the levels, its the dev's way of stopping ppl from pirating his apps i guess:D



    edit: oh and to get more points when replaying a mission you have to beat your previous high score on it, then you get the difference between your old high score and new one in money

    "Quick ques: this may sound stupid but...

    How do you get new powers? I tried upgrading them at the store, which obviously didn't work. In the tutorial mission, it says "break these orbs to get new weapons" or something to the effect. When I break the orbs, I only get points? Help is greatly greatly greatly appreciated."

    you get new weapons during missions, you'll find a solid ball that is the color of the weapon just touch it and oyu get a message telling you which weapon you got and how to use it

    Yes, you need to achieve a high score for the level. When you get a high score, you get the difference between that score and your previous higher score in points. If you're playing for the first time, well, you get everything. You also get a 2000 bonus for completing each level without getting hit, but this only factors in to your high score, and it's not 2000 guaranteed points.

    I'm having so much trouble with the mission where you have these two centipede like things shooting pink fireworks at me... i last a little while, but they seem to take no damage.... is there a trick or something, or is the strategy just avoiding getting hit?

    that one was tricky, try upgrading and using blast, spam them - and don't take concentrated hits, run left to right

    if i remember correctly this is the mission where you get the green blaster, if not then you should have got it in an earlier mission.

    anyway its actually quite simple just dash from side to side while firing the green blaster at them, they go down pretty fast.

    There's gonna be a mission where you have four of those things shooting pink fireworks at you. Use the homing missiles if you have them, and shoot at them with the blue blaster, strafing and being very careful and patient, if you don't.

    No. On the forums of the Caster website, it said that it is a bug which will be fixed in an update.

    That's easier said than done. I've tried this level 20 times and get killed. I found that if you use the blaster on the two trees beside the orb, they will each yield a healing ball. Hope this won't spoil it for anyone. Any tricks/tips on getting past this level, besides avoiding getting plastered?

    Its kinda like a two-sided tower defense game. You're basically sending different unit types at each other, and different units interact differently.

    One thing that would be perfect for this game would be multiplayer, I would LOVE to see that in an update.

    great game, it should keep me occupied for a while.

    Anybody got any hints to where the 4th energy ball is in the "Hot Rocks" mission? PM me if you don't want to give it away to everybody. Thanks.

    I am guessing from the posts on here I am probably the only one, but is anyone else finding the controls for this game kind of, well, retarded? I mean don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, and mad props to the guy who made this. But honestly, what is wrong with movement? I would really like to see a visable on screen virtual joystick or something. The camera is fine, and I handle everything decently, but Jesus Christ I guess I can't seem to get the movement down good enough, I always end up running sideways, or toally not where I want to go, causing me to let go, adn refind out where my path is so I can move in that direction. Like I said I guess it's just me and a mix of my tired frustration with gaming in general, this game is fun. I just can't wrap my head around the controls of movement. They seem like... I dont know. I dont know. Is anyone else having a problem? Please someone agree with me so I can not shoot myself.

    I'm so let down that this game hasn't been updated yet... I always buy into what i consider to be a great game, and then the dev never supports them... same thing with Supertank.. too bad, this game has so much potential!
