    Loving this game... and happy to have paid for the coin doubler after playing it non-stop for a couple days.

    Unsure if this has been mentioned yet, but I encountered a bug where a creature (a Mutator or whatever they're called, but I think that's irrelevant) had spawned inside rock. I've seen this several times, but this time there was no valid place for it to move -- rock in all four movement directions. The game didn't freeze, but I could no longer move or shoot. I eventually aborted the dive.

    There are some collections bugs too, with some items not showing up after you get them, in particular
    the Aliens eggs
    . The "explode 3 mines at once" mission appears to suffer from an off-by-one bug -- explode 3 at once, no reward. Explode 4, complete mission. And I don't have the "explode 10 mines" GC acheivement, long after I've exploded dozens of mines and completed the explode 12 mines mission.

    Again, fantastic game. Very reminiscent of the original I Dig It, but also very different in fun ways.

    Oh... and one more spoilery question --
    is there anything below 500m? I got down to 512, but it looked like solid rock below. I just kept digging since my air was nearly out though.

    Unbelievably addicted to this game right now.It's got all the right elements to it.

    Some suggestions if it hasn't already been mentioned:
    - In-app camera function (so we can take a fullscreen snapshot without all the buttons and coin/air counter in the way)

    - A sea creature encyclopaedia

    - All special locations can be put in some collage to view once it has been discovered

    Hi Zathrus,

    Thanks for the shout about Mutoids. We've seen most creatures get stuck in blocks at one point or another and we thought this was a bug we solved months ago...doh. It's on the list of issues to look at as although it doesn't really break things it is a bit annoying.

    Cheers for the details regarding the mine bug too, again something we're looking into and will hopefully be fixed for the next build! As will the issue with that pesky invisible loot item in the collection screen.

    As for the spoilery questions...
    There is only diamonds galore if you can keep going
    but if the game proves popular enough we might add extra depths in a later content update ;)

    Oh and cheers for the kind comments, great to hear you're having fun with our silly little game!

    All good suggestions! Thank you :D Reckon you could do me a favour and use the form over here http://monsterandmonster.com/ideas/ to send them to us?

    Just means I'll have all of these on file (and I wont lose it in the forum thread) for when we come to finally nail down what to include in a big content update in the future ;)

    Fantastic! To the point where I am DEFINITELY going to use some of those ideas for the eventual content update :D Think the Hammerhead is my favourite!

    Like the idea of themed updates too for things like Halloween and Christmas. Smart thinking ;)

    The Epic Exploration mission seems broken. The places I've already seen don't seem to count if I see them again. Since I've already seen many of the places before the mission I don't know if I can pass.

    Yup there's a big ole bug with the location discovery stuff that Code Monster Dan is literally looking into as I type. Should be fixed in the next update :)

    Also, of note, again, I managed to Pass the find 3 different special location (whatever it's called) mission by visiting multiple Oil Rig Power Sources and blowing them up. So it may be counting them, but not counting all of the special locations.

    ...

    Hey, Pete, nice pixel art. While I'd love some of those, if the stats aren't great (or they don't have some distinct advantage like faster movement or something) I'd probably never use em. Near the beginning of my time with the game I did some score grinding to get Ultrabot... nothing else seems to be better (unless there's something I'm not seeing?).

    Thank you :) The reaction's been a bit overwhelming and definitely unexpected!

    I agree about the stats, I doubt anything does/will beat Ultrabot. If the costumes were earned by finding something like a pumpkin/trick or treat bag during the Halloween season which awarded a random outfit then at least it would still have that collector's sensation. Nothing beats that feeling for me lol, I'm obsessed.

    That wallpaper is bonkers. If I wasn't using dual monitors I'd consider giving that a shot.

    So in trying to free up a slot in my mission list, I was actually able to kill 3 creatures at the same time with 1 Pufferfish...

    and nothing! Still didn't count. I also killed 3 creatures one at a time with the same pufferfish, also nothing.

    So it seems that either the game is unable to measure creatures killed with a pufferfish or it has that +1 issue that the "Explode 3 mines in a single chain" mission had. Which means that I would need to somehow get extremely lucky enough to get 4 creatures (weak enough to be killed by a pufferfish) all next to a pufferfish at the same time and then it might work, if the game is even recording the puffer kills in the first place.


    In other news, the only piece of loot that need now is the center Terracotta statue.

    Also, I can consistently achieve dives of 120,000 coins or more (before coin doubler), so I will have everything purchased after about 8-9 more dives. I can't wait for the next content update!

    Sounds like you've done a sterling job getting through all the content! If yo have any suggestions for new content be sure to let us know via: http://monsterandmonster.com/ideas/ - We could really do with some suggestions for new locations to find throughout the various depths!

    Oh and we've been looking at the mine and location missions this morning and have spotted why they are going wrong so currently fixing away. We have yet to look at the puffer issue but it is also on the list and will see what's going on there too :)

    As for the center terracotta be sure to shout if you find it. Has anyone else found him? I'm suspicious that maybe he's being a bit of a pain and not appearing in the world...will have a look into that later as it would suck if you can't actually get him!?

    I have actually already suggested some content and have heard back from David that there is a good chance that the idea could be used :D But I will try to come up with some more ideas and send them your way.

    Glad you were able to track down the location and mine bug :)

    I know where the 3rd Terracotta statue is supposed to spawn, now I just need to stumble upon the location. The depth range is only 37m tall, so that might be why it is so easy to miss it. I actually made a picture in excel of the location based on the tileGrid to try to help me spot it. Now I just need to patiently look for it.

    That is the only hint I am going to give away ;)

    HaHa. Funny you should say that... I originally set out to do a dual; but couldn't think what to do with it - I 'spose we could give Joe the Nautilus motor... aaaaaaaand, he's gone! :p

    Is one of the problems people are having with the mines that they never appear? I've never seen one. Am I just not getting a hint about where they are or is there a bug that they never appear at all?

    Found the last Terracotta Statue!

    My map actually helped quite a bit. Found out the other reason why so many have missed him, he is almost entirely behind the scenery.

    Click this link for a picture of the location since I can't put spoilers on an image.

    YAY! 18 out of 18 collections complete! Woooo!
