    Basically this is how the shear boss works,

    What you do is you get inside the crystals by drawing the shapes but you're not exploding it. If Shear dives or drop eggs to the crystals and if you're inside that crystal you die, if you're not then she blows the crystals so you're one ammo low.

    I found shear really hard to kill but using this blast 1 2 3 blast method really worked and now I kick his arse more than he kicks mine, he is still my least favourite boss of them all but once you get the timing he's a pussy cat to kill lol.

    Thanks,

    Just to give you a spoiler, we're preparing some good in-game surprises for the players who just played and achieved some of the things in game.

    So keep looking!..:):):)

    Not liking the sound of that...

    Been watching the thread since the drop, trying to get a sense for the game, still intrigued but not sold...

    Just got my best score over 200k

    I'm happy to make a vide of myself playing, in particular the shear level and email it to anyone who wants it, it'll have to be when my daughter gets home as she's my camera girl if it will help anyone having trouble getting to grips with the game. Just pm me your email addresses.

    It's unique and I love it.

    But if chaining combos by drawing symbols and using power ups in an ominous atmosphere isn't appealing to you, then this isn't for you.

    Why let someone's intentionally provocative and ambiguous comment sway you when the thread is full of very enthusiastic impressions from numerous long time forum members? Too funny!

    Mildmania, I'm getting some crashing when I use the magnet, it happened before the update but seems more often now, it could be cos I'm getting more magnets though, it doesn't happen every time just sometimes.

    We'll check that out immediately, we haven't came across with this before so it might be some bug that we missed. I'd ask for some detailed information if it happens once again, like were you making combos, which background, which wave are you on, were you doing some combos? Like this just shoot us any information you can. If that happens when you're recording any video you can send that video to us too :) You know can contact us from icontact[at]mildmania.com

    We'll check the crash reports quickly.

    Thanks for the info

    I know this will sound crazy, but I respect the views of more than 3 or 4 TA members... and more so when I need to sift through people's actual impressions, beyond, "Everything's great (IAPs, *cough*), get it."

    I know, I know, hilarious, right? You may need to sit down and catch your breath for a minute. :p;):D

    Here's what he wrote in the Continue9876543210? thread... I'll bold the important part.

    That, honestly, is probably enough to steer me clear of this.

    Freemium? No.

    You don't have to spend your money on anything in Darklings, only the customisations are a bit pricy.

    Freemium is much more different than ours, in freemium you generally have to buy something to progress like in Candy Crash or PVZ, you have to either finish every level 90 times to get a 3 star or you can't continue.

    We even reduced the prices since the people wanted to use more power-ups. In upcoming versions, we'll have some items just buyable with achievement or skill

    In darklings, each game you collect average of 200-300 stars for a medium skilled player. 5 power-up pack is just 100 stars and with 10-15 play you can buy most of the upgrades. And those are not vital either.

    So basically that comes to your decision. We are not directly or indirectly route players to buy anything with real money.

    This games not freemium.

    There may be iaps within the game but they are absolutely not essential some are for upgrades like making the magne stronger but half the time you dont even need these, I forget to visit the shop and buy booster packs and my score isn't much different to what it is with boosters active.

    Most of the iaps are for costumes and colours. You get plenty of currency from gameplay to unlock something after each run, and it's does not take long to save up for the bigger things. I've got most if the stuff unlocked and I've not spent a single penny of real cash on this game other than the initial price. Power packs have been cut by more than half so you can always have plenty of boosters active while saving up for costumes etc, this was a generous move I think.

    The star packs are there for those who want everything now and not have to earn them in my opinion. This game may not be everyone's cup of tea and that's fair enough, there's loads of games I don't like, but I do hope people have not been out off purchasing it after seeing it wrongly called freemium.
