It has been. You can see the new icon right now on the app store listing. Gross. Also because the Nodpad reviewer made that swinging joke already, our game now appears on swinging sites. Way to go, Nodpad.com! 1. The eternal bug. Finally fixed in our dev build for the first update? Probably. We keep fixing this and it turns out it just gets rarer but still there. This time I think we got it, though. 2. We're doing this. 3. Skull ghost is just much faster. Though we toned down the skull ghost a bit, he used to be constantly on your character. Great idea, but probably a far in the future update. The game will get a little easier in the first content patch because we're adding an upgradable item that will help with magma. Just a little bit. I might get a little quieter for awhile. We're doing heavy work on the next update. I'll still check the thread at least a couple times a day, though.
I too am stuck here. However, I love the fact that I'm stuck here. It reminds me soooo much of when I was a lad, sitting in front of my Spectrum trying to get past that 'impossible' level on a new game. Although it seems unbeatable, I know then when I finally crack it the satisfaction will be immense!
Very well then. Will add the blog to my feed reader instead. Just saw the new icon in the iTunes store. Looks great. I had the top score on Stone Bull for all of thirty minutes before being bested again. Oh well, at least I got a crown to show for it. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen through bricks into the lava simply because the little man refused to run. I'm glad this has been fixed for the first update.
Does anyone know what the jewels are good for? They are not tallied in the final score so it is difficult to determine their worth, if any.
I cant see the Global Score right now... i am in a WiFi Connection (here in my home), and i can browser trough sites, receive e-mails and everything, just the game isnt connecting... are the leaderboards off somehow? - EDIT: Dont know how, but it is working now
They're counted in the tally, but not seperate from coins. 1 gem = 5 coins in value. Good old breaking through the ceiling bug. We think it's finally dead in the developer version (testing the new update). It's the bug that would not die, we've fixed this many times over. Ohhhhhh Lite Version up finally! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=334626553&mt=8 Heads up, I'm going to make a new thread about the lite version and a contest. I'll still consider this the main thread for Hook Champ news and feedback, though.
http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?p=577066#post577066 Above: That contest I just posted. If you bought and liked the Full version, please download and maybe even rate the Lite version. It would help out a lot, since Apple took awhile to release of the Lite version. Each download of the Lite version means a little bit more exposure for Hook Champ.
You need to be #1 on one of the global leaderboards. Once you unlock the hat you get to keep it forever, though.
Just popping in to give my praise! You and the fine folks at Rocketcat have done a radnormous job with this game. I think it's great you're so active in responding to people, so thanks for taking the time to read what people are saying. Just made it safely to the end with the Golden Skull about an hour or two ago!
-sigh- i caved. and bought it. and to think just a few days ago i told myself i wasnt g2 buy anymore apps this month..HA lol
The Husk Mask attracts bats... The bats for the Bat Idol bounce you up, it's pretty useless for the other maps though...
Take THAT. Yeah, the Husk Musk only does that. Bats were going to have a bigger role in the game, but I didn't manage to use them enough. It is handy for getting some of the secrets in Bat, though. The main reason we didn't take it out is because I personally love the shop descriptions.
