So I turn on airplane mode and kill ipod, safari and mail. this game runs smooth! (iPhone 1st gen) Never though airplane mode would make a difference. I have all settings on high. Thanks to the dev for the helping PM. I have no time to read this whole thread. Thanks again!
If I have Isotope, Nano Fighter, Anomaly, and will possibly be getting Light Wars, what does this game offer that I don't already get with the games I have? Any responses would be appreciated. EDIT: Nevermind. I just bought it. I guess I'll find out for myself.
Well, certainly much much better frame rate wise (1G Touch), although difficult to avoid the enemies spawning practically on top of you, and I die sometimes even before a level has started! So some strange stuff going on there...
It's not showing up in my update section...arghh. I hesitate to press the 'buy' button again to get the update...I just got refund from apple for itunes charging me for an app when I downloaded an update.
Smoother framerates a tad but still rather jumpy, even when the ship is lowering in. Still don't find the gameplay that fun, either, I'm glad others enjoy it, but this game just isn't for me.
why is the thrust so powerful? I turned it all the way down and it's still really zippy.... even on the highest graphics settings it looks like the beautiful level transitions are gone ;( I love this game but......,,, edit: well I guess I have the hang of it now but doesn't seem as challenging. I guess I have to try to beat a billion? le deuche? 2nd place! won't last long I'm sure
Hey guys, you'll get used to the thrust trust me! It's my favorite change made to the game. You want challenging unlock elite mode. Way differnt tower placements and level dynamics. Just know that shay is still looking at ways to increase performance. I'm sure some stuff may be added back in if the hardware allows it. Anyone got a 3GS out there? How's this puppy running?
Damn. The update made the game worse . The new effects don't look so cool (when you destroy this thing in the middle of the game and the shields)
Update is like night and day from the previous version. All the little improvements add up. Text is much easier on the eyes now. Using the highest settings on my 3gs its still totally smooth, crash proof too. I'm getting further then before and seeing more detail along the way.
Wow, the framerate is amazing now, even with the graphics at maximum, it was silky smooth on my first try all the way to level 13!!! Great update Shay! Nonetheless, There is a little constructive critisism. The boost seems way to powerful now, I dunno if that was intentional, but it's kindo annoying. A major problem I can still see is that there needs to be an easier way to view the read.me and change the graphics. To many people are to stupid to figure it out and they are reviewing badly because of it. I reccomend putting an options/read.me button on the homescreen. My biggest and only real complaint though is still the xp. I think I have less now, yet when I went online dc jams And stryker are still top 4! Will this be corrected even if they don't update? Because I doubt someone with 7 minutes gametime will. Some new people also have xp similar to mine, but I have 7 hours and I'm #3 overall. It's kind of depressing that I'm still haxxor but losers are legends...It would be tough, but would wiping the scores fix this so that the people that don't update won't be shown? I hope I don't seem like I'm rambling, this is still my favorite game, and I think the update was amazing, but there still seems like there's some more work to be done. P.s. What the heck happened to ledeouche?!?! I looked and he was gone!!! Did your score get wiped? WTF? P.p.s. Shay, it's probably to early to ask, but do you have plans for another game? If so, you have my support. P.p.p.s. I'm still waiting for that soundtrack on iTunes or something!
WTF!! What happened to my score?? EDIT: New score up! That should keep me in the #1 spot for a while Also you guys can adjust the thrust. It's default is around 3. I use 4 and it's perfect. I've played with it all the way up to ten, but I think that's overkill.
Haha I did adjust the thrust...it's on 1 but still a little jumpy... And my xp only went up 2 for going to level 8 on hardcore (crying) and that guy that just bumped me out of number 4 (I'll be back don't worry) only has 50 minutes but almost as much xp...blah I'll quit complaining. Oh, and the pause button is really hard to hit. I have to tap around a bajillion times to get it. Sorry I'm complaining alot, I just want this game at 5 stars! I really really do love the update, it was worth the wait, and other people are getting good scores now too (dangit). Thanks again Shay! Ps, it's easier to get high scores in hardcore now, that's what I'm doing.
The game runs so smooth, I had to readjust to the game... ;D Great job on the update. I'm hopelessly addicted again.
