Universal Dockit Rocket (by Kranky Robot) for tvOS & iOS

Can someone explain the bar code scanner thing? What you scan just ordinary household items, say I go in the bathroom and use the bottle of soap. It somehow then generates a level from a bar code?

Is that right?

Btw this game is insanely difficult. I purchased a ton of ships in lets go rocket. I figured this was similar in gameplay. And then hooly crap dead. Dead. Blown up. Dead.

Honestly. If there was an iap to start with the laser or something I'd freaken buy it lol

I really do love the artwork and the arcade long screen cabinet style screening. Really nicely done there.

I bought it too but haven't tried it yet. I assume you are correct in your assumption. I hope so because I'm not sure how else it'd work. I'm hoping the dev pushes an update quickly with some amendments coz I rlly like the gameplay and art style also. If things were loosened up a bit and completed levels stayed completed this would be a true gem.

 

How did you shoot something? Do you only get a weapon if you pick up one of those letter tiles?
There is no explanation as to what those are

 

Yup. The 'F's are fuel, 'S' is shield and not sure which one shoots but one does.

 

Game Center isn't registering my score. Not sure what the deal is. I shld be 3rd. I see mr bez and a couple other TA regs on it. I'm logged in GC in the game tho. Idk

 

I certainly see your point. As it stands tho, I'm mainly just playing the first level repeatedly to the point of monotony. Maybe an option to chase high score and one for level completion, also separate Game Center boards for each. Even if you could complete levels, die, and continue from that level while retaining your score it is still in essence a high score chaser with a different dynamic and if you start a new game, you start from scratch. This seems like a much more user friendly scheme that would alleviate the frustration of always starting at square one and also allow high scores to be chased. Seems viable to me. Think about it. Cheers man!

*Many other score chasers employ the same scheme as mentioned above with success.

 

Playing Almost Impossible and it's not a straight reset and employs checkpoints. That one is just off the cuff, not very sure if I'd even compare it. Point is it doesn't seem like a game breaker to continue from the level you reach in a single session. It's your baby and ultimately your call. I'll like it either way but would prefer continuation or loosening the beginning levels a tad because as it stands, I may only ever get to 3 or 4 levels after many many many failures and most players will probably lose all patience and not be inspired to spend coin on ships which generates revenue and keeps ppl playing.

 

Nice lil update, still only playing first 3 levels over and over and over. Losing interest very fast. Thanx, it's been real but not real great.

 

Thanks for the update, the game is more playable for me now. I really sucked before.
Your idea about the continues sounds good, but I still have to make it far enough to dock once. Getting there....
Really great game man, you really nailed the retro factor out of the park.

 

My point is, sometimes it takes quite a few runs just to dock stage one. Then once you get a grip on stage one, you get one shot at next more difficult level, fail and back to one again. Not a fan. In one game just let the game start on the new level, seems simple to me. Anything else is senseless futility that I'll have to pass on. Good luck man.

 

Screw it, I'm done

 

Already elaborated my thoughts extensively.
