Cats Away Beta Testers Wanted: Sequel to the No.1 JP App

Yea you can't use the timer or else it counts as a "cheat" in the ending score table.
Used about 4 timers and got this "score". Also unlocked tons of stars with this.



My personal impressions:
Great game but I find the timer prompt after every stage irritating. Don't know whether it's possible to remove it or not, maybe have a button at the score board to continue?

Game is really dependent on luck since you only have 90 seconds.
Accidental pulling down of the notification center really gets on my nerves, had to disable it with a Jailbreak tweak. Unfortunately, this isn't the game's fault but iOS.

 

There are timers that allow you to increase the time.

 

Wow... just had my first game using the frog ship on planet brownie. WOW. I got 166 coins and a score of 1,565,100... with 89 cats.
It took a while to get the frog ship, though.
And I just unlocked the first wallpaper! I love it!

Okay, the game does get a lot easier with the frog ship. I just got 5,155,850 in Cremia and 525 coins with 159 Cats saved.

Actually, the last land's level of difficulty makes up for the power of the frog ship.

 

Yes, if you use Time Pack whatever score you get form that run will not be on the score boards. This is just something we put in so competition over game center will be fair. Looking back, not sure putting the word "Cheat" like that is such a hot idea.. Pretty negative of a word

You are right about the game being short and thus have a lot to do with luck especially early on. But on later stages, you can go for minutes because you can find time increase items and while you have a combo going, you won't time up. Check out this footage of a japanese dude playing the simple version of the app that was released in Japan last year. This one only had one stage and the time limite was 3 mins.

"I just got 5,155,850 in Cremia and 525 coins with 159 Cats saved."
I think you just beat my record. Im looking forward to what kind of high scores people will bust out on game center!

The notifications thing is an issue isn't it... We'll see if we can make the game pause if that happens.

 

Ahhh I see, I understand the meaning of Cheat now, and I agree, gotta change the word to something else.

 

Would it be alright if I let my brother use my Test Flight to see what scores he can get to help balance in the Beta? He uses an iPad 2 upgraded to the latest software. I'll report for him.

Also, what do I need to do to make Nocturnes appear in the first stage? I just can't find them... and do you have any tips to catch that golden shiny cat in the Sahara? I just can't get him... even with sleep...

 

Yeah sure. Can you send me a PM with his UDID? Otherwise the build wont work on his device.

Nocturnes should be in the big bushes on the bottom of the screen if you can get your beam big enough you can uncover it.

Shiny Cat.. probably meteor bomb? Get him to jump up and capture him in mid air.

 

Just uploaded a new build to TestFlight.

Mainly rebalancing work, some interface changes.

 

I think that the game's balanced out well enough now. I'm still working on getting the 4th wallpaper, but it shouldn't take too long.

 

Thanks! We just uploaded the build to apple. Hopefully it gets through

Thank you for all your help guys!
