    We noticed Game center is misbehaving, it has some advanced caching in iOS 6, and we're looking into these issues for the next update!

    I hope your 59 (or 60 now?) have synced by now on the leaderboard.

    I hope someone can help you with the Apple, otherwise I'll send the solution to your PM, when I get to it, hope you can wait?

    Thanks, it's still 56 right now. If I completed some levels whilst offline could that be a reason for this?

    I managed to get 28 seconds in Nightmare mode, yay me! :D

    Someone earlier in the thread recommended Twinoo, by Dawn of Play. And after downloading it this morning and spending a little time with it I have to recommend it also. If you have even a passing interest in Brain Training type games then Twinoo is a.. erm.. no brainer? Oh, and it's currently free.

    Between that game, Monkey Labour and Dream of Pixels it's becoming readily apparent that anything from Dawn of Play is going to be of the highest quality, and I for one hope they get to make many more games.

    It could, yes. btw, do you get any other games misbehaving like that in offline?

    That is an awesome time!! Seriously!

    Hahahaha, no brainer! :D :D :D

    Yea, and it's currently storming the charts, speeding past ALL OF THE ANGRY BIRDS, except the Star wars one. :D :D :D

    Picture or it didn't happen?

    You got it!

    Wow, that really means a lot to us! Thank you, sir! Thank you!

    We sure hope we get to make many more games as well, more than you can imagine! :D

    There should be more puzzles.....
    If lots of people sleep late at night because of the game and end up dreaming of more pixels puzzles, will the dream come true in the next update?? :)

    Yeah! It's completely mind-boggling!

    I mean, the history of Twinoo goes back to 2005, when my marketing campaign consisted of sending the web link to the first version of Twinoo to all of my 12 friends :D and one month later - 1 million visitors to the Twinoo web site! :D (Still fondly remember the call from the website administrator calling me that the highscore.php is eating up the server and that we need to optimize it NOW! :)

    Now, it's happening again, this time on the App Store, on the touch screen (much better for playing Twinoo then with a mouse or keyboard as you can imagine!) with the new redesigned looks (kudos to our art director!) and new icon (by myself, actually, polished a bit though by our art director - kudos again!). It's going freakin' viral! :D

    Here, this is from a few hours ago:

    And it's now sitting at TOP #33 iPad Free Apps (US App Store), still rising and exploding right now in Latin America!

    Mind-blowing!

    Congrats on all of those Twinoo downloads. Hopefully, Twinoo is driving customers to Dream of Pixels. I think Twinoo is a cool little diversion, but nowhere on the level of DoP.
     
  18. I started reading this thread after I saw it on the game of the week, leading and all even over shadowgun.

    I got a question, I don't much tetris type games, and I know that many do, some can play for hours. When I saw this game on the first page when it released, I thought to myself, ahh, just another tetris type game, and since I don't really like tetris games too much, didn't pay much attention.

    But since it is getting a lot of good reviews from a lot of the other senior TA members, am curious to know, how does this differ from a common tetris type game. Also, will I enjoy it? Can't really get a feel for how it plays on the youtube videos I have seen.

    Thanks. And congrats, looks like you are going to win the game of the week.

    I think it would be best for you to give the PROTOTYPE a try, that you can play for free in your PC/Mac browser on Kongregate:
    http://www.kongregate.com/games/zigah111/dream-of-pixels-prototype

    Also, have you seen the tutorial video?



    Then we also put some more text on how to play here:

    http://dawnofplay.com/DreamOfPixels/howtoplay.html


    Thank you! We sure are completely bedazzled by this! :D

    I'd love to know how the tutorial helped you understand the game and also how the kongregate prototype did the job?

    Thanks!

    Thanks! We hope so, too, though judging by the reviews some people are really annoyed by the Dream of Pixels popup. :p :)
    Still mostly 5-star reviews on the App Store, though, so it's all good. :D

    I agree, it's just a tiny little brain teaser. Dream of Pixels is much larger, actually - it's about 25x larger. :)
