Don't know how many correct answers there are as I haven't seen Glenn's messages. But all will be put into a draw and 5+ winners will be drawn and notified. Keep going everyone - if there are loads of correct answers we'll just issue more codes and have more winners
I know what you mean about the vocals, something just seems distracting about them in an interactive game. Pam suggested we use the vocal version for the new video though and the band were cool with it. I think it sounds great. Vocals work when you are watching rather than playing. I also thought it might be a nice little bonus for all the people who had asked about the music in the original. Is it selling well?, it was for a while and most people who have it seem to love it but it hasn't been successful enough to cover the time and effort Pam and I have put into it.
That's it, when watching the video without the vocals, it looked great, but i got bored for the video (which will not happen in game because you are playing), with vocals i was listening to the music and not watching the video that much, i was distracted (which will not be good in game).
Just sent mine in. I preferred the visual one. Hope I didn't just waste those valuable minutes of sleep. Which reminds me, there is a very nice bed right next to me waiting to be slept in...
Game Impressions Hi GlennX, I'm writing from Canada. I stumbled across Ground Effect while poking around the iTunes store (looking for gliding/soaring App). I've been a glider pilot for many years, so as soon as I saw the name of your game, my interest was immediately piqued. If you've ever attempted a 'penetration approach' in a sailplane, you learn all about 'ground effect'. Generally, I don't buy many App games. They don't hold my interest for very long. But I bought yours, and ... WOW. It's incredible, spectacular even. I reminds me of both F-Zero and Mario Kart from the old SNES, but it's about a million times better. I'm hopelessly addicted. In case you're interested, here are some things I like about it: -It's so chill. Low stress racing, cool idea. The music and the visuals are so beautiful, it makes such a cool atmosphere. Super pleasurable to play, apparently over and over... -The game just flows... that's the only way to put it. If you crash, the negative effect is minimized, so you are motivated to keep racing. Annoyance minimized. -The tracks are superb. All different, but awesome for different reasons. I've already spent endless hours working to improve my times against the ghost. The shortcuts, the crazy high risk jumps with tiny margins of error, it's all awesome. So I've tried several times to leave a stellar review for you in the Canadian itunes store, but something isn't working. For some reason, the store keeps asking me to log in, over and over. Not sure what the heck is going on. Anyway, I'm going to put up something on my Facebook status for you, hope it results in some more sales. Your creation is absolutely sick--you're a very gifted artist. Thanks to you and your team!!
Wow thanks Winter413, nice to know someone from Canada likes the game Everyone else: The competition is closed. We already have loads of entries (some of them even correct) to check through! Thanks for entering
It's so very gratifying to know that some people actually 'get it' & enjoy the serenity of the experience. So thanks very much for taking the time to give your feedback. People waiting for the contest results & answers, please blame Glenn for the delay (again). And thanks for joining in - I had loads of fun
Puzzle 1: This caused a little confusion because I should have worded the puzzle better but I didn't want to use a question that could be googled The best answer was from Legowiz "the trick to the triangle puzzle is that the two triangle pieces are not similar triangles. The slopes of the the hypotenuses are different. If they were the same, then the base length of the larger triangle would be one less than it is. Hope that's good enough" which sort of describes what happens better than any other answer. Several of you described the way the two non-triangular bits fitted together. The point of the puzzle is supposed to be that the four pieces can be arranged into a triangle in two different ways but in one, there is a bit missing. How can there possibly be the same area covered with one less square of area in the top puzzle? The trick is that the large triangles aren't quite the same (and aren't even triangles) because the slopes on the smaller triangles aren't quite the same. Puzzle 2: The answer to the world puzzle is Geronimo meaning - a prominent Native American leader and medicine man of the Chiricahua Apache who fought against Mexico and the United States and their expansion into Apache tribal lands for several decades. Several of you got this right so there will be some kind of draw.
no, several people did very well and got it pretty much right but I wish I'd asked it better! Prizes will be going out.
Are you sending out codes now, can you say who won, i'm unsure if i got the 2nd puzzle right or wrong.
