    haha yeah, I'm 40 and I'm definitely into the arcade feel of games. For some reason my kids loved it and spread it to their friends so I think it is pretty kid friendly. We are working on a pretty massive update right now :)

    Yeah, I'm also 40 and currently at level 76 with no signs of slowing! Looking forward to the update.

    Quick thoughts now that I've unlocked just about everything:

    Maybe this will be addressed in the update but XP incrementally loses value as you get to higher levels - primarily because everything is unlocked - but also because the reward for leveling up doesn't appear to expand that much (if at all) as you gain levels. At this point, by far the most important thing is how many weapons you can accumulate. As such, I tend to intentionally avoid grabbing the quest item because I don't want to take a chance that a chest won't hold weapons. What's more, after investing gold in locksmith perks and the thief perk, there's very little to be gained from rescuing prisoners. I guess this also promotes farming the bosses for weapons as someone pointed out earlier, although that's a different issue (and I haven't given in to that particular loophole just yet).

    For the XP issue, I suppose an easy solution would be to improve the haul you get in the level-up chest. Maybe add weapons? Add to the gold reward and then add in some kinds of major gold sinks to have something else to work towards?

    It will be interesting to see what the update brings. Regardless, it's a great game.

    42 here and I love this game. It has a badass pick up and play, get sucked in for longer than intended quality about it. And it has one hell of a mid-game save system. It saved my progress for about 3 days so it will probably do so indefinitely.

    Josh, is it a double tap to attack with the sword? It seems like I always have to tap more then once to make the sword swing. However with the missile weapons if sneeze to hard (hyperbole) it launches its projectile into the wall. Also, I read where you said the bug where you can't turn and get stuck in the wall is hard to reproduce. Is there a log or something I can send you? I seem to get that every few times I play.

    Anyway, thanks for the great game.
     
  4. Love how we are all trying to "out age" each other or something haha :)

    Josh, I figured out what was going on with the Android/Samsung S6 deal. So, when I pick up a second weapon, it becomes my selected one. If I tap on the backup in the middle of the screen, my movement stops, even if I'm turning, the game keeps going though...

    BUT, if I then tap on the weapon again (now in the left corner) I can start moving and grooving again.

    Does that make sense?

    I hope this game stays popular and gets a lot of attention. Not sure why there aren't 100 pages yet

    yup and its fixed now. Will be in the next update. We added the tap to stop in the corner and it screwed up the weapon slots. Bye bye tap to stop. Crap I guess I'm not the oldest here :p

    I think we need some big YouTubers to play the game for it to get more popular. We were on some big channel in Portugal last night and I saw lots of new ratings from Android users there. Guess we'll find out as more things trickle in.

    No its definitely single tap, but I think the sword doesn't release til you let go. Try swinging wildly and see what happens.

    I love this game too (age=55) and bought the ad-removal IAP. I have played very few games in the months since Game Center went bad on me, but this keeps me coming back!

    Cool game I should say! Really love it! But sometimes I feel a bit boring when all the tasks are accomplished, all the monsters killed and you have to go to the Exit across the whole empty labirynth (when it's BIG, it's even more boring and I often just closes the app, because I have no patience or time to go the exit)
     
  16. Love the Tundra!!! Cool new enviroment for sure!!!

    Josh,

    Loving the update so far, especially the hot tuna!

    One issue I've come across is I can't get to the shop - not the in game items but the IAP part. When I click on the blinking words, nothing happens. Also the remove ads option is still there even though I've done it already.

    Other than that, the new stuff has been great. Looking forward to finding the jungle!
