Yes, I agree with everything AKD has said here. I have noticed it's tricky to get to the screen with the GC link on it...maybe I'm missing something, but I have only been able to get to the GC link after completing a game. It would be cool to have the link on a screen you can get to before playing a game. Hope this makes sense.
Some download figures Hey Guys, I know a few of you were curious as to what the game review did to the download numbers. Total for the past 3 days (Wed / Thurs / Fri) 403 New users, of which only about 146 official paid apps from iTunes. That's better than 1 to 200 ratio from China and some of that number could be people with multiple devices, so overall not too bad! So far, I've still spent more than I've made, but its been fun! :-D If anyone sees a crash, let me know. I have a few not very help crash logs coming in and want to be sure to track down any / all crashes for next release. - Charlie
When you get the App Store feature, things will look a lot better. I'd be surprised if Apple overlooked Galactic. It's the wait that kills. Got perfect runs on TL, levels 1-4 & 5-8 today. No shield or powerups, and no damage. So I know what the max score is for those two now. Managed to teeter ever so slightly higher than PK. And the battle continues...
Yep, weakest ship I tried to perfect levels 9-12, but to no avail. Wouldn't be fun if it was a cakewalk!
Wow. I'm really sorry Charlie. I know that's gotta bum you out if it does me. I guess it's (kinda) a good sign that it's still getting downloads and not tanking like a lot of new games do. It shows that there's still intrest in the game at least. It just sucks that people feel entitled to your game for free. I guess it's a lesson learned. It still sucks though. I hope you can figure out a F2P version of the game so you can at least make SOMETHING off the what would be thieves.
Ok, I was inspired to get TL 5-8 with a clean run on TX1 (AKD) and I did, but grabbed the fire power up and ended up with a lower score (75,540) than my current high score of 76,210. Looks like I will have to try again, but I was under the impression that grabbing the fire doubler did not have a negative impact on score... AKD: what is your high score on TL 5-8?
Thanks Noen! Not worried about it anymore, just the reality of it. Btw, tell all your friends, Galactic Nemesis is 50% off ($0.99) today only! (if it shows more, just wait an hour or so) http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=3548194#post3548194 Once the new galaxy goes in, and a few extra features, I think the price will be set to $2.99.
Will double check, that was the intent, but I could be wrong. Thanks for catching that if it is. Edit: Checked the code and using a doubler should not hurt you in any way. It is possible that there are some very slight varying formations that occur that would cause a few less aliens. I will check this out and see if I can address it in the next release.
76,900 - I always pick up the powerups though, so unless the doubler doesn't show up every time, I'm sure I grabbed it too...
@paulkane There were scenarios where if the turret stayed up for a really long time, one less row could end up getting added to the formation. I will double check the code here too. Is your strategy to leave up the turrets longer, or get rid of them as quickly as possible? As you can imagine 100s of variables go into making everything fluid, my apologies if some of this is vague.
I just did a perfect run on TL 5-8 with no power ups...and I still got 75,540. Nooooo!! The random number of aliens per wave would explain it. Thanks for looking into that. Ok, AKD you got the top spot for now...I'm not up for trying to perfect TL 9-12 after running through 5-8 four times.
I don't leave the turrets up especially long, but maybe I will try to get them out fast and do another play through. Thanks for being super attentive to this. I hope GN gets an Apple feature. It deserves way more exposure! *shakes fist at AKD*
No problem! I will definitely put some focus around this on the next version. Which phone / tablet / iOS version are you using?
Just picked this one up -- looks fantastic. Does it support MFi? Plan to do some playing tonight, MFi or not
Hi Charlie, sorry for late response. i may not be as far along score or level wise as everyone else, but Galactic Nemesis has never crashed on me.
Awesome! Thanks for getting it. No MFi support yet. Will totally consider adding game controller support at some point, perhaps once I do the "Mission Mode". Need to see how it all translates, could be fun. - Charlie
