    Thanks to BArchibaldand Lazthog, I had been wondering about this, and to be honest I was about to give up. Neverputt ME is fun and a challenge. What performance issues will you be addressing in the update? Thanks again.
     
  4. Any news on if you will be adding audio? You said you would be soon after it was first released, even if it's just a couple of sound effects for when you hit the ball or it bounces off walls etc.

  6. I just submitted Pipes 1.2 to Apple for review. Hopefully it will arrive in the App Store in a few days...

    New in Pipes 1.2
    - Added online leaderboard - compare your best times to other players around the world
    - Added offline "personal best times" - try to beat your best times
    - Redesigned user interface to be consistent with in-game graphical style

    All scores (online and offline) are tracked for a specific combination of board size and difficulty options. For example, the online scores for "Easy" with wraparound enabled are separate from "Hard" with wraparound off.

    I've attached a few screen shots of the new features. Enjoy!

    Edit: That leaderboard sure is lonely right now... can't wait to get some company :)

    Same here. I just wanted to chime in here about how much I like Pipes. It's the game I always play when I just want to kill a few minutes or unwind a bit. I've put up a few scores on the leaderboard so it isn't quite so lonely, but with all of the options there are a lot of spaces there waiting to be filled :).

    what a fool i was to buy that to begin with anyway, but i'm still a bit sore about it because of how long it's been since the dev promised a new update.
    i bought it sometime in september, after he had said about a price rise after the update, so thinking the update would be soon, i bought it, and have been waiting ever since

    "IPUPPY 2.0 COMING SOON AS A FREE UPDATE TO ALL 1.0 USERS
    FEATURES INCLUDE -
    NEW ACCESSORY STORE
    MORE ANIMATIONS
    2+ NEW SECRET MINI GAMES
    GENERAL BUG FIXES AND PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
    BUY NOW AT 1.0 PRICE FOR FREE UPGRADE TO 2.0 BEFORE PRICE INCREASE!!!"

    when you click on his website it comes up with "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" and clicking on support for it just sends you to the google homepage.
    i doubt i'll ever see this update, but the naive trust i once had in budding devs has disappeared :(

    The game isn't that great, but when it came out they promised online multiplayer, which would have made the game 100x better. That was probably two or three months ago.

    This was one of the few times I really felt ripped off.

    Yep. It's the magic trick that is almost always guaranteed to work! All the more reason for everyone to list the updates they are tired of waiting for!
