Its the Independent Games award all the entries are indies of course so how is that showing me? Congratulations to Hook champ.
You guys deserve it. I loved both Drop7 and Spider. Drop7 didn't grab (I almost said 'hook'! Too easy though...) me, though I see how it could. Spider was a great game, fantastically original. But Hook Champ is original enough, while borrowing some mechanics that put it over the top.* In my book anyways. *To be clear, I'm referring to the hat system, and the hook mechanic itself isn't as entirely original as the Spider mechanic is (as far as I know?). That isn't remotely a shot at Hook Champ, just the way I see it.
Finally got around to doing hat levels. I just got to silver, and I have to say Kepa, you are a sick sick man. But thanks for the challenge
3.5 submitted! The first fix (it's turned out to be really complex) for the people having lag issues, Hookbot changes in the Hatbox levels, new Hookbot item, OpenFeint support for Hatbox. The OpenFeint save thing should be in update 4, along with the Minigore levels, fix part two, and various other things. Bad news: We ran into big engine difficulties for the "Dueling System". It looks like that's not going to happen until QuickHook (working title for Avalanche game).
Kepa, is there a way to disable the friend online popups in OF like I mentioned in the beta group? It's extremely off-putting and creates a split-second of lag. Does anyone know why OF is so damn slow? Even on a wireless connection, it takes ages (ok, more like 5-10 seconds, but in this day and age that seems like an eternity).
Kepa please help! Make a hat and achievement guide! Congratulations on the nomination Kepa. You definitely deserve it. I practically love you for keeping up with the updates. BTW: I keep seeing people in the highscores with hats I've never seen before. I have almost all the achievements... I've beaten the entire game... I've gotten #1 in Local and Global Highscores... What's up with this? Anyone know how to get these last 3 achievements? I just can't get them... What's "secret"? Kepa, could you please add an official hat guide? I would love you even more, which seems almost impossible.
Congrats on the IGFM nominations! I'll be on the lookout for 3.5, and patiently waiting update 4. I REALLY could have used the OF save feature about a week ago. I had to wipe my data, so I'm working my way back through the game right now. It's actually pretty fun, and the improved beginning hooks are much better than they were. Or maybe I'm just better at the game than when I first started playing it, actually probably both. Anyway thanks for all your hard work, I'll be first in line to buy the new game. But QuickHook? I don't like the name so much, but I guess it's a working title. Maybe call it "qpawn Escape!!"
UPDATE: I figured out how to get the lava skimming achievements. I went to Silver Bull, and played through a good amount of the level until I got to a part where there were blocks right in the lava, I could just walk on them, and after 10 seconds, I jumped back onto the ceiling and achieved both of the achievements. But I still don't know how to get all those hats, or the "secret" achievement. Could someone PM me how to get that achievement? I won't tell anyone!
@Twiddle I'm pretty sure the secret achievements are for beating an entire level. Have you beat Stone thru Gold in all idols yet?
Just complete every level, beat all the local scores, buy all the hats, then see what achievements you're left with (if any).
The secret achievement is unlocked after you beat the Hat levels; are you sure you beat all 4 of them?
