Getting lag on the mini game, as a couple other people on the thread mentioned. I'd like to use this as an excuse as to why I'm not in the top ten, but I'm guessing everyone is having the same issue.
Loving the update! The game was getting a bit old to me already, but it feels like theres much more variety now with the new 'gamemode' and the new animals to rescue.
I've tried tapping about once every half second all the way to every six seconds. Still nothing. I try to make sure the screen doesn't move, but since there is absolutely no feedback on this I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. The hints are, as you say, on the background of the diamonded areas. Not the A+ ones though. Nearly through Polar with all diamond now.
I read elsewhere about the background in the zoo reviews, once you reach diamond trophies for each level. The first seven read Spoiler YOU WILL GET FUNKY WITH BUS TAP but you need the Ice Inquirer review to finish the sentence with Spoiler NINE . After I got all diamonds and saw that, it was my clue for how many taps to try.
Dot worry about the screen moving too much. Try this, go away from the screen with the bus, say go to the sheep area, then go back. Now tap on the nine times, at about half a second gap. Then wait about 3-5 seconds, dont touch the screen or anything. That is the way I get it to work. Hope that helps. Edit - just tried it again, that really does work. I think it will be the waiting part!
Thanks! That did it finally. Seems I was tapping too slowly. And, of course, I was able to tell my wife the method and she got it the first time. And promptly said, "Well this is stupid."
Part of my brain's memory is being used to store like 70 different cute animal shapes. I hope I can get that back if I ever get bored of this game.
I used that a few times toward the beginning, but by the time you have every animal in the game you just know them.
Yeah you will, and it's only 48 if that's any conciliation! Honestly, it's easier to just remember them that to load up the game and switch to that each time!
Yeah Eli played Funky Bus mode in his twitch streaming tonight (with Damianvila's help and mine to unlock it ) There's a YouTube video link in the news : http://toucharcade.com/2014/03/24/ta-plays-live-back-from-gdc/ He did get a very good score lol Also, not sure it was mentioned before: The "play funky" mode (that controls upside down!) unlocks only when you have ALL the diamond trophies
I noticed in the stats that a few of you Funksters (100% diamondized) are still freeing more animals. Since this is a money-losing proposition at the new rates, even if you are very good, is this just for fun? Or am I missing something?
Trying to get up the leader board, passing time? All I know is that getting diamonds for ice age is taking a long time due to the money side of things. I think I need something like 50 - 100 more goes at 40k each :O (based on the amount of freed animals I have needed to get diamonds on the rest) I will need between 2 and 4 million
lol Funksters is da new hipsters! I don't free animals anymore, the only reasons apart from climbing the freed animals leaderboards could be: - take advantage of the ads to farm a few Bux (a lot of work as Bux only seem to appear about 1 out of 10 times). - replace sold animals. Apart from that, it would be for fun? Not sure, as the farming implies using only the cheapest land so booooring to free more sheeps and piggies
Hey everyone, just wanted to jump in and let you know we are still here and reading everything. Very sorry for the bug in 1.1 that broke iCloud sync, but if you haven't already, update to 1.1.1 and iCloud is working again. Glad everyone's enjoying Funky Bus. We can't believe how fast you guys figured it out! We are continuing to work on the game. We were at GDC, but now we're getting back to it. We're working on Android support, but then we'll be doing more updates for the game. Owen
