    Our sincere congrats to m13 on his win in Crash Contest by OstinGames!

    ! We suppose m13 will spend his prize of $200 to buy lots of ice cream to relax and cool down his quick and hot ‘bio processor’ as well as the finger tips that helped him tap his iPad2 intensively!

    Crash Contest #2. We are happy to announce the release of Zepi Music 1.1 and Zepi HD 1.2! In the new updates, our super programmers fixed the bug that caused crashing of the app when pressing a specific combo of 4 buttons one by one (it is this very bug that brought m13 $200!). Nonetheless, in case some quick-witted Zepi Music fan reveals another bug to crash the game while pressing the menu buttons, welcome to place a video in this very TouchArcade post (like m13 did at TouchArcade), to receive a prize of $100 for every bug from the Zepi Music developer team. The money will be deducted from the OstinGames super programmers’ salary! :D

    Crash Contest #3. Winning combo of 5 buttons (The Da Zepi Code). To please all Zepi Music fans, OstinGames team have deliberately created a winning combo of 5 buttons in the menu (The Da Zepi Code). He who will be the first to figure out that combo and place a video in this very post will be awarded $100 (will be deducted from the CEO’s salary)! :cool:
    Both iPhone and iPad versions of the game - Zepi Music 1.1 and Zepi HD 1.2 - feature the winning combination. The buttons of the combo for the iPhone and iPad are different yet the prize will be the same - $100 for each version!

    Note. To discover the five happy buttons in Zepi HD 1.2, press the Sound Settings button (in Zepi Music 1.1 press the Settings button). Upon tapping the 5 winning buttons, make sure to press the New Game button. The game will not start out. Instead, you will see a banner with congratulations and a secret code generated by the program. If your winning combo is wrong, the game will just go on.

    How to Get the Prize. To get the prize of $100, you should shoot a video featuring clearly the 5 buttons you’ve pressed and the secret code. Afterwards, place the video in this very post. First come, first serve! The very first gamer to do so will win $100 to buy ice cream!

    Thank you for your interest to Zepi Music! Good luck! :)

    P.S. The combo of 5 winning buttons is applicable in any of the playing modes (classic, cold, or bugs). The contest will run until the winners show up.

    By the way, we have 12 promo codes available for Zepi Music and 18 codes for Zepi HD. If you feel like trying your luck, feel free to ask (PM) for one. iTunes reviews will be highly appreciated.

    question regarding the Settings button

    Hi all,

    We’ve received a question regarding Crash Contest #3 asking if the 5 winning combo includes the Settings button.

    Answer: no, the Sound Settings (for Iphone/iPod touch version) button, the Settings (for iPad version) button as well as the New Game button are not included. :)

    Are the "R" buttons also included or just the four big buttons?

    Maybe it would be better to clarify which button are not usable in this contest. Seems to me that this could take lots of possibility.

    Regarding the "R" button


    Yes, 'R' button can be part of a combo that can crash the app as well as that of the winning Da Zepi Code. As a matter of fact, a crashing combination might include less/more than 4 buttons, for example, 2 or 12... With any 'bug' combo, the pocket of our super programmers will flatten...:)

    I was able to crash it. Basically I just hit the buttons over and over again and when I switched modes, I would tap the screen, causing the program to lag. At the end I finally got it to crash.

    The trick is to rapidly press the random button and the all randomized buttons. Then start switching games modes while tapping the screen. Then it will crash.

    I didn't change the video speed at all. I believe it crashed because the app was trying to catch up to itself, but I kept pressing the buttons while switching game modes. This is on iPad 1st Generation IOS 4.3

    I don't think I will waste 91 days and nights of my life (3 months, give or take) trying to find this to win $100, I think I'll play black ops and go to 15th prestige, with 6 accounts. But I do like Beats By Dre :)

    Thank you for participation, Drsponge, and your video is cool indeed! However the succession of buttons is not clear enough. We kindly request to write down the exact combo (or shoot a clear video) which the OstinGames team could repeat in the office. If the test confirms that your combo crashes the game, our programmeers will be happy to give part of their salary as a deserved prize! :D

    May I once again suggest that you change "Da Zepi Code" contest? The odds in winning are approx. 1:540,000. 16x15x14x13x12

    Ok re-did the video. There is no specific combo. It is impossible to write down the exact combo, because the crash occurs when there is lag and when it tries to catch up with itself. The way I got to crash was first hit the random and the all randomized buttons for a little bit. Then just start hitting all the buttons very quickly, while switching modes. It took 9 minutes this time(usually 2-3 minutes), but in the end it crashed. There is an obvious bug where the app starts hitting buttons on its own. The time to crash it varies. I hope you guys can recreate the crash.

    You can see at 1:15 that the app starts going on its own.

    Sorry, Drsponge, it should be clear combination of buttons that works and can be repeated by anyone...

    But there is any obvious bug in the app. You can see in the video, the app starts pressing buttons on its own. I was able to crash your app, basically by just hitting the left side buttons while switching modes. Did you guys try my method yet?

    With my method, there is probably an unlimited combination of ways you can crash Zepi HD. The crash occurs, because the app is trying to keep up with itself. I can send you the crash log if you want.
