    HELP With 1-16

    Goblin Sword is the first game that I have played and I really enjoy it. Even though the levels are hard for me, I was able to complete all of Forest 1 thru 15 and the two bosses. I also completed the first level of the Castle to get four hearts. I have tried for days to complete 1-16 and have never made it completely thru.

    I have watched the video, but it skips over an area where you get on the platform and have to jump over spiked objects while killing things as it moves. I have never been able to complete that section. I am using the Excalibur and the Pendant for extra hearts.

    This may be impossible to answer, but can anyone give me ideas on how to get through this level?

    Thanks in Advance

    You mean the part where you have to get the right side on a moving platform and there are spiders and birds above the spots where you have to jump? If that's the one, try using Holy Sword. Its magic can shoot bullets in 4 directions, they can take out enemies above you.

    Thanks for the help. I have tried various swords to kill the spiders and birds as I go across. My main problem in this area is when I jump, the moving platform goes out of sight at the bottom of my iPhone screen and I miss the platform when I come back down and drop to my death.

    I downgraded myself back to the excalibur to check it out. If you have the mythril helmet, that might help as you are invincible longer when hit. Anyway I replayed with the generic pendant from the beginning of the game and excalibur and if you can be powered up before going into that area then it's possible to kill the first enemy before getting on the platform. If you time it right you can jump to the right, unleash the powered up strike and it should hit the bird as well making the area pretty easy as it's just a jump and double jump or something to get through it. Maybe too if you are trying to go for a perfect run skip getting everything and just try to finish the level... having the hearts to do it is more important. Oh and the dragon can help too if you are low on hearts as it'll just keep attacking while you stand there waiting for it to eliminate the enemies (just note you have to face in the direction of an enemy for it to attack). The rest of the level is just taking your time with the worst bit a ground thrower near some spikes at the end of the level.


    EDIT:

    Timing the jumps is just about moving forward as you jump. Don't ever jump straight up while riding a platform.

    Thanks for all of your suggestions. When you say "downgraded to the Excalibur", is there a better weapon to use? I do have the Mythril Helmet and Dragon, I'll give those a try.

    I just prefer the Demon Blade.. but I didn't think you'd have that unlocked yet.

    Using Excalibur is perfectly do-able. Infact it has a similar projectile system as the Demon Blade.

    Given that this is a bonus level and it's meant to be hard, you might want to just push on with the other levels.

    Anyone else lose all of their progress this afternoon? I was nearly finished with all areas and collectibles in the game but now it's all lost and the game has reset. I contacted the devs just now but I wanted to check on here too.

    I checked my game and it still has everything unlocked. I'm on a 4S with iOS 6.1.3 . My iPhone isn't hacked or anything but I'm also not synching to my PC and have most cloud functionality turned off.

    Any chance someone deleted the game and redownload it? Have you tried resetting your iOS device by power cycling it or hard resetting it?


    On a side note its amazing this game only takes up 16mb.

    Thanks! It is amazing how small the footprint is for this game. The devs responded already as well. It seems isolated to just my phone (5S, 8.2). I tried power cycling, hard resetting...wishing really hard. Incredibly weird. Unfortunately the last time I backed up my phone was a few weeks ago so all that progress is gone. No one else had access to my phone today either. At least it's for a game that I absolutely adore. Time to jump back in!

    I lost all my progress too, I was about 40 levels in. I think there was some sort of mini update on my phone as when I turned it on it was telling me to swipe to update even though it didn't seem to update anything. Apart from kicking me out of toucharcade so I had to log in again, all my progress in other games still seems to be saved............weird!

    Ah, so let's blame this one on . It's strange how people often people get upset that I'm keeping my 4S on 6.1.3, but I am one of the many that updated along the way happily until the bugs that burned out the wifi in my first 4S. It was out of warrantee so they wouldn't do jack even though it was the update that messed up how the thermal sensor was read. I tried system restore, going back to factory, and all kinds of stuff before finding out this was a major issue for many.

    Word to the wise, if you can turn off auto updating... Do so.

    The achievement for killing the third boss won't unlock for me, despite having killed him multiple times. I even checked in game, and I have that quest completed, so I'm guessing GC is just refusing to update it. Any ideas to fix this?

    Same here. A lot of my completed quests won't synced with Gamecenter. Oh well...

    Not sure if this is right for this game, memory is fuzzy, but try going into the Options at the title screen then Statistics and then click on the GC button. I think it may re-synch them.

    Also on time trial levels pause the game after you start and there's a clock icon faded out next to the button that if touched will turn on the game clock in time trial levels.

    No problem. I'm glad the gc re-synching thing wasn't just a faulty memory.

    I checked GC in Option a few times. It didn't synced every achievement :/ not a big deal or anything, I love the game :)
