iPad Disc Drivin' - Turn-based online multiplayer racing!

That sounds good. Any chance that you could make the contact area of these little boxes a little larger? I know that sometimes I'll go to hit the powerup button and maybe not touch dead center of the box but I know that I'm atleast touching part of it and it doesn't work.

Thanks

 

I thought about suggesting that but then figured that even if you do a fairly slow/short swipe it your swipe finger is already in the top half of the screen so immediately tapping the screen while disc in motion could activate - if this is do-able maybe have the option for this and the swap buttons as I'm sure some will prefer different ways of reacting fast on powerups.

I was thinking the tap-in-motion keeps things more fluid in that you are keeping it even simpler by using the same ONE finger to do it all.

 

I love this game, could you please addin random online multiplayer match? I thought that would be much easier to let people pair and play. Thanks.

 

And I'll suggest it again because I think it got lost between everyone elses posts but can you maybe please make a little history bar at the top or something with the number of wins and losses? It would also be cool if you can see others history before or while your racing them.

Kind of like a profile history of sorts. This would be kind of like having bragging rights or whatever. It would feel good knowing you just took down so and so with 100+ wins, would make that victory that much sweeter knowing what your up against.

But anyways, great job so far, I know it must be hard trying to take all these suggestions in at once, keep up the good work!

 

Here's a trick for you until pixelocity finds a solution for it. Hold the iphone/iPad upside down, flick with your right hand and use the powerup with your left hand's thumb. I've made instant jumps where I didnt even move the slightest bit on the ground (before the disc went flying off) using this trick

 

My friend, after taking his turn (3G connection), "sending" stayed on screen, then error eventually appears saying error try again.
Pressed iPhone home button to come out of game, went back in, chose race from list it then replayed his shot to send it again BUT it did not fire the boost powerup he pressed, so he ended up with a different outcome.

Hope this helps.

 

May have been suggested already but how about levels that incorporate different heights so there are sections where you must climb UP and DOWN long ramped sections of the course, maybe even bridges and crossovers, I imagine a figure-of-eigth type of track.

Different terrain so a whole long width of track section is maybe glass or ice, or sticky mud, some you could jump etc....

 

I can't recall how many times this has happened to me as well. I've had some great shot that send me shooting half way through the course hitting turbo pads and everything and then using my power up. Then it doesn't send properly and I do the same thing, restart, only to see my turn replayed without being able to use a power up.

Another new 'bug' I've encountered recently is that I have 20 races going on simultanelously but when I win one and don't want to rematch that person and want to choose another person to race with it says I already have 20 races and then I can't create a race.

What's funny is in the 'their turn' column, I counted 24 races in progress! WTH?! LoL

Ooooooo Kay

 

Just had the forgetting powerup bug when it tried to resend my turn after coming out of the app and going back in.
This time I gained an advantage... my real turn I boosted at the end, rounded a corner and fell off the track, when it re-sent the turn it doesn't boost me on the corner so I don't fall off the track!

 

any chance on this game getting the option to play a random opponent?

 

I just went back and double checked.

In the 'their turn' row I have 24 races active with the oldest being 3 days ago.

Something kind of strange about one of my races though is that where it shows the track emblem and then the names of player out beside that, well, the names aren't there. It just shows the little picture of the track. At first I thought maybe this just meant that they had resigned but whenever I click on the race the game crashes back to home screen. When I go back into the game homescreen, it's still there. This isn't the first time this has happened either.

One more thing that happened the other day which I found a little strange. I finished a race with someone and I guess they 'rematched' me, well, not only did it start that game right up but it repeatedly started about 5 more games with that same person immediately thereafter! Somehow, i think this is how I come to have over 20 races.

One more suggestion while I have your attention. Maybe change the idle period of a race to less than 8 days.

Thanks.

 

Ok, great.
