Universal Gravity Hook HD - (by Semi Secret)

Out in UK.

 

woot downloading now! hello gravity hook hd!

 

Out in US.

 

doh, beat to the announcement

 

This looks fun but I am still wondering about the leaderboards. I am not a fan of "homemade" leaderboards generally speaking although there are exceptions. I usually prefer openfeint....etc I like a nice quality leaderboard.

 

If you've ever played canabalt, you've seen them. If not, then I dunno how to explain whether or not they're high quality. They have top daily, weekly, monthly and all time high score leaderboards. And they function well. Show you the top scores, as well as where you rank.

 

Anyone else having trouble buying this?

I keep getting a message something like "The Requested Resource was not found - There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later".

 

Hot damn this damn is so much better on the iphone than on the computer. Finger tapping > mousing clicking IMO.

 

I just played this game and it's really fun but while I was on the menu screen of the game, it just put me back to the icon screen randomly and this has happened several times already.

Also, I would like to know my rank in the high scores and not just see the top 100. I would also to see how many people are on the high score list. It makes a difference if you are number 100 out of 101 people or 100 out of 10,000 people. This is very important for motivation. This is why I like openfeint.

Alos PLEASE only allow the best score of each user. I hate seeing the same name up there 10 times.

Nice game

 

But it only shows your rank if you are in the top 100. Not overly useful for a popular game.

 

Agreed about the ranking. Very nice game and I am happy that it is universal.

 

holy effing crap how do you play this thing...I guess I am just a n00b but its pretty madding at the moment...

 

Please fix the leaderboards so you can see your ranking at all times.

Also a tutorial would be nice just to give it that extra quality feel

 

I played the Flash version a good 15 times, and I hardly made any progress at all. Am I missing some mechanic? You just touch the orbs and that's it, correct?

 

I thought it was just me. No instructions ? or tutorial ? Sure we can figure it out but why should we have to ?

 

Found a bit of a problem.
On a game screen in the bottom right corner there is a twitter icon. If you click on it a window appears prompting you to enter the details to log onto twitter. If you press cancel the window disappears but the keyboard stays. there is no way of getting rid of it.

Regarding the gameplay, you need to make sure that the orbs that you hook onto are not far away. With the mines, it gets tricky. Need to make sure that you hook onto another orb or mine befor you actually touch the mine.

Agree regarding leaderboards. Should be best score per person.

 

Is this game exactly same as the flash version? It means it has the classic mode too right?

 

Now when I go to see the high scores, most of the time I get booted back to the icon screen.

 

Yes, I just unlocked classic mode. It has separate leaderboard.

 

Because I'm sure everyone who doesn't have an ipad will want to pay extra for the added memory :/. Doesn't seem like a very strong argument to me.
