I think an option would be nice, although I can imagine that a tapping quicktime event would be more popular. I personally am fine with the shaking, even though I'm on an iPad Air 1.
@AppUnwrapper, We'll proably remove the shakes as most of people don't like it for a number of reasons. The character will auto-push the enemy if no-action is taken or if you tap the screen very fast you'll push the enemy even earlier. As for the character getting in front of the screen, this is normal with all thirdperson games. But we can add an option in the menu to make the player dissaperars if it takes lot of screen space. We'll eventually add multiple save slots and iCloud support yes. It's on our future plans Regards,
How would tapping work instead of shaking? Does that mean you would have to choose between either that or your weapon? Glad to hear about iCloud and multiple save slots coming. And I would love to be able to hide the character -- thank you. Especially on my iPhone, I find she blocks my view way too often.
And thanks for bringing an awesome game like this to mobile devices. hope that the drama that happen here initially wouldnt turn you away from making more games like this in future. also thanks for the update for mfi, thou not full yet but great enough at least for now to be able to play with controller. looking forward to more updates in the near future with this game. Cheers!
I added some gameplay footage of easy mode if anyone's curious. Yay unlimited flashlight! Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
I'm not that much worry about complain. If there's something wrong we'll try to fix it to make everyone happy. The most important fact is that Apple loved the game and the AppStore customers (the majority of them) also loved the game. Even the initial version got a 4.5 overall stars in AppStore and rating is now a bit higher with the new version. And yes, all our console games will land in iOS platforms if people keep supporting us. Regards,
It's simple, tap anywhere on your screen, with one, two or all your fingers, the faster you tap the faster your character will push the enemy out. Let me know if it's clearer? Regards,
I mean because tapping is already how you attack with your weapon. So you would have to unselect your weapon for this to work?
I guess I still don't understand how the shaking works. I'll have to re-watch that part of my video. I couldn't tell what was going on, so I ended up just beating him with my pipe.
I just died on Easy. I was getting the shake screen icon while being attacked by two different enemies I could barely see. Lost 25 minutes of gameplay because I couldn't find a computer on the third level before all this happened. Sigh.
You don't have to unselect or select anything, when you get grabbed you'll have to tap the screen (right now you have to shake your device) till you see/hear your character pushing the enemy.
Right now (v1.0.2) when you get grabbed by an enemy you have to shake your device in order to push the enemy. The faster you shake the faster you'll push the enemy. In the next update, we'll remove the shake and replace it by screen taps. The more/faster you taps, the faster you'll push the enemy. Let me know if it's clear?
That does sound better than the shaking. The shaking was partially to blame for my death at the end of this video. I also couldn't see what was going on because of the camera and Rose was flailing about like a fish when I tried to attack. Would have been cool if the game saved before heading into this room, considering it seems to be a plot point? Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Edit: I just realized after watching my video again that after the shaking, my weapon was unselected, even though I had selected it before heading at the shadow monster. So I dunno what gives, but that would explain why I couldn't fight back?
phone mark Hi. When I came across a zombi, a phone mark was displayed. Does that mean "Shake your phone"? I couldn't figured it out because I was killed.
Easy mode? I already have a save data, but it is difficult and frustrating after having encountered zombies. Does the update give me an opotunity to change easier mode on the way? And what does the easy mode feature? Weaker zombies? A longer life light?
