iPad Eliminate [FREE Online FPS] Pulled from App Store, Servers Shutting Down 5/25 R.I.P.

Really? I have a crappy connection, and I'm in Australia, and it hardly lags at all!

 

But... you're supposed to be Canadian to play

 

*Ahem*

I...um... am Canadian?

*cough*

 

BTW... are those screens shots from the first post from a 3GS or something? The game doesn't look nearly as good as that on my iPhone 3G.

 

What he said!

 

Can you post some screenshot? Then I can compare to my 3rd gen touch

 

The game looks better for me than those pics on page 1. I've got an iPod touch 2G, btw!

 

Awe, great question, I've passed it along to devs and I'll figure that out for you.

As for energy recharge timer, I have no statement except that 1) we're in canada and therefore tweaking lots of things. 2) this is a free game, so we want to make sure paying players feel like what they're buying is really valuable.

Everyone's feedback is always appreciated, but just to warn you, "i want the timer to be shorter so I can earn more creditz for freez" is probably going to fall on deaf ears.

 

And I am Canadian, too... um... eh?

 

I just got my power cell recharged after waiting 240 minutes, I play one game and it's all gone? The hell is up with that? I played three full games last night!

 

Correct, it won't. The game dynamically scales depending on iDevices and we try to maximize all the different hardware. Obviously, our major concern is a solid 30 fps, and we scaled up or down based on that benchmark.

1st gen iphone - probably barely playable
1st gen touch - might be *ok*
3g phone - works pretty decently
2nd gen touch - should be smoother than 3g phone, but not as pretty as 3gs
3gs and 3rd gen touch - should be fairly similar, 3rd gen touch might be *slightly* faster.

 

3 games and my energy runs out? >< Other than that, I'm loving the game.

 

Update:

2nd gen touch - verry playable, with occasional lag when in a 4 player game (probably becaus of the servers!)

 

@allen:
what ever happened to the 90 min recharge time?

 

but allen,
why did you change it? wasnt it originally 90 minutes?

Whilst I can see where you coming from in adding value for those who do purchase energy packs, the system as is seems a little unbalanced in favour of those who do. Even if the only tweak you make is to fully recharge the energy after the same time period, it would allow free players to upgrade more easily, whilst not affecting the value for paying gamers.

 

Hope you can make the recharge timer so that after 240 minutes we get a FULL energy recharge. For me, I only get one bar of energy (worth one game) after 240 minutes. I slept for about 10 hours, and woke up with only two bars of energy... is this suggestion worth considering?

 

The post you quoted addresses that, I don't have anything to add in the five minutes since I posted it.
