    1.3 Update Problems

    An Update on the Update...

    So here's what's going on, so far as I've discovered:

    The new OS frameworks handle parsing of XML files a tad differently. Mainly they are less tolerant of flaws, like repeated elements. Before, this was not an issue... but with the new OS (I guess 3.0?) they cause the parser to just think it's done and it bails out of the parsing without completing leaving the level in a half-loaded nonsensical state.

    So far, at least, it's just data problems in the XML. Not code bugs per se.

    Which really makes no difference... it's still borked. And it's still my fault. Spot checking the levels missed this entirely and I take full responsibility.

    I apologize. You deserve better than for me to put out a release like this. (sigh)

    I'm going to fix this, resubmit and beg Apple to push it through faster than usual (wish me luck on that last part!)

    GD Players.... Spot Check Request from the Dev

    I'm paranoid of making another mistake.

    I know it's a lot to ask, but can anyone confirm this for me...

    Only levels borked are M6, M9 and M11?

    Must've been an emergency update because the 1.3 was horribly bugged. Plus Apple screwed up with 1.3 not being available for a few hours even though it showed up on itunes. the whole thing was fubar. Glad its resolved though.

    Is this any different from GeoDefence Swarm? i bought it out of impulse at the appstore and frankly i find it a bit too hard for my liking.

    GeoDefense was the original. It's path passed, like Creeps is, rather than open field. It is hard, but that's the beauty of these games. You still have different difficulties though.

    HINT: Use two fingers. You'll get to a point where you need to upgrade towers quickly. Using two fingers, you can tap a tower, tap upgrade, over and over. Remember towers can't fire whilst being upgraded, so time your upgrading carefully, try to pre-empt demand.

    These two titles are solid favourites of mine.

    It's hard. But it's winnable. Without loosing any single life.
    The good thing about geoDefense - levels are relatively short.
    So experiments do not take much time.

    haha i agree dude. and it being so addictive. but one thing i don't mind having would be a continue button. cause for example during the round you may recieve a call or sms and you can't continue

    oh maybe i don't really like making others wait for a reply :D

    haha
