    To be honest I have no idea where the savestate gets stored!? Not sure on the legalities either, we don't really mind but there might be Apple T&C's which say otherwise. I'll ask the code half of Monster and Monster and see if he has any words of wisdom :)

    Naa it's fine. It's considered a back up anyways. Just use ifunbox. You're not even editing the game as file transfer can be done without jailbreak (without itunes).

    Went with my gut (and some trusted TA members opinions) on this one. Such a great game. Being free you can never tell, but I was so confident, I bought the doubler before making my first dive. Glad I did. So much to collect in here, not to mention the ships and utility upgrades. I didn't like the controls at first, but it clicked after a while and now I think they're nearly perfect.

    @Exact-Psience - never noticed that your oxygen didn't go down when you weren't moving. Great observation! I agree that this is almost like a strategy game. You often need to take your time, plan ahead, move into strategic positions to take out enemies, and keep stocked up on power ups.

    I never would have guessed Deep Loot would have such depth (take that how you'd like) seeing only the screen shots, but I'm officially hooked.

    Top notch game. Five stars all the way.

    Utterly compulsive. Seriously, between this and Traps my collecting urge has never been so strong.

    Can't put it down.

    Devs - massive props for something so well put together and strangely strategic, full of personality and a deviously addictive edge which is liable to keep me up for hours.

    Superb.

    One of my missions is to discover 25 special locations. I'm not sure there are 25 more special locations for me to discover!

    Got a completely game ruining bug. Was working fine. Now for some reason, I dive and everything's fine and about halfway done with my air I click on things and my guy just sits there. Doesn't matter what I do. He just sits until I click end dive. Dunno if the devs are here or if someone's reported this already but a fix would be AWESOME because the game seems pretty rad. Running latest os on a 5S.

    Haha! There are ;) but this mission is actually cumulative so repeat dives finding the same places will also count. You'll manage just fine I'm sure!

    Sorry to hear you're having issues. Thanks for the details of the issue. If this is a repeat problem that you can reproduce could you email [email protected] with the details of what's happening so the code guy can look into this? That would be incredibly helpful. It's also worth noting that there is a similar issue we're looking into which occurs when rapidly tapping. If that was the case with your lock-ups try slowing down your taps, this will allow the behind-the-scenes turn based system to always keep on top of things :)

    Hi all! One final message here before I crash and burn for the night.

    Just want to say thank you to everyone who has made the launch day of our little game quite spectacular. Some of the comments on here have really made our day and at points even got us a little choked up :') We're super happy that so many of you are enjoying the game. It's why we do what we do and is an amazing feeling after spending so long on this project.

    Also a BIG shout out to those who have been reporting issues and have been making suggestions. It's tough trying to make a game of this size when there's just two of you (one artist, one coder) and we know the game isn't perfect but lots of your feedback has been incredibly helpful and has already helped us lock down a bunch of issues. The next update will be much more stable and will hopefully tick off lots of wishes thanks to you guys. We just hope you can just bear with us whilst we work through it all and get a submission to Apple.

    So yeah. That's it for now! Thank you for being awesome today and I'll try to keep you up to date as much as possible.

    I'll leave you with some costumes that will probably never make it into Deep Loot due silly legal (pfft!) reasons but they were fun to make anyway ;)

    Thanks for making the game. After playing 2-3 times, I bought the coin doubler and it's fantastic. I've gone to 350m with a turbo boost and everything with 2/5 upgrades. Great game, which has that "just one more time" to see if I find anything new.

    @Devs: can you get the mute button to actually mute the game? I've had to turn the multimedia volume down because muting the phone doesn't mute the game.

    Like a lot of people I bought the coin doubler to support the devs. More games like this please!

    I have v1.4 installed. The item is the alien egg from the galactic artifacts collection. Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you!

    So a question for one of the more knowledge players. I am at 3 stars on my air tank, using the Ultrabot suit, and the Second Wind ship. Besides saving 100K for the next star, have I pretty much maxed out my oxygen? Any other tips?

    Emergency air from the dive supplies? They can be pretty cheap if you're using them when you know you're near treasure that will easily net you more than their cost...

    I imagine if Cygnet is using the Second Wind boat then they know of the air boosts, but definitely a good tip for others. The boosts, air in particular, pay for themselves three-fold generally. I always keep 7 or more of each on hand at all times.

    Other than that, you've got the exact set-up I'm using. It's quite useful tapping the small area of emptiness below loot to position yourself to catch it rather than individually tapping each piece can safe a fraction of the bar.
    I find that the depth-skipping boosts are actually a little inefficient. A nice slow dive on my way to the abyss can easily net much more than the cost of the items used replacing the air used getting there.

    Anyway, I'm never good at advice so I'll leave it to others. Am I the only one who can't resist shooting every mine and pufferfish they find? Mindless destruction is just too tempting!

    I saw my first shark.... and ran the other way! :eek:

    Thanks Pete and Charley for the tips. I hadn't realized that picking up loot was using air as well. Good stuff.

    I looked around a few pages and didnt see this but I seem to have two-ish problems so far. I am using an iPhone 3GS, and the collection screen only displays the left half, like the background is consistant but the foreground and items and all simply stop halfway across the screen.

    More importantly, I do not know why and cant find an option for it, but my game seems REALLY zoomed in, as in the whole game area is about 5x4 or something. Its like in on 1x zoom while every screenshot I see is at like 2-4x.
    Would love help or a fix because otherwise thia game is quite spiffy

    Ha! I just found a sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who for the galactic collection and another piece appears to be the sillhouette for the Autobot Matrix of Leadership! Awesome.

    I also have the invisible Alien Egg in the collection. It says 4/5 off the collection, but 2 are missing. Im pretty sure i found the egg multiple times already.
