Best iPhone game to date! Everything works great. Good job. I've completely stopped playing anything else and I can't wait for the update. i only wish i had more time to play it before the crown got so hard to get. Also, does anyone know how to get the beret/glasses? I've been all the local scores and bought everything but no luck. Hat suggestions: pope, ye old time wig, viking, cowboy, novelty nose/glasses, beard, chicken suit, afro, rabbit ears, trucker w/ mullet, arrow through head, kid n' play, nerd specs.
"International celebrity Matt Damon enjoys Hook Champ, refuses to play anything else." I don't remember a beret or glasses actually being in the game. I know we made glasses, but we didn't actually put them in. They were just too hard to see on the character. Hats will most likely be constantly added to the game. We have a huge list of hats we would like to put in. Also, a chicken suit is not a hat in any sense. A beard is technically a hat, though (for your face).
What if it was a chicken hat and i think he means the cool shades what you get for doing 1 level on pro controls.
If he did mean that, you just answered his question. Hat that is literally a chicken roosting on Jake's head. I'll add that to the list.
How about statistics. As many, and as trivial as possible. Hats owned, favorite hat, least favorite hat, hooks slung, number of retries, times eaten, times incinerated, money spent, hours played, etc etc.
The idol masks sounds like a great idea. As for the statistics, I'm fairly sure Kepa said in the thread that they were looking at the possibilities.
Lot of feature requests and bugfixes. Three major features. One of which has been revealed already (New Character!), the second major feature will be revealed this week. Unrelated, BoingBoing.net covered Hook Champ! BoingBoing Link
No, but a different feature: 4 shotgun shots. You can play all the old levels as that character though
It's pretty useful in almost all levels. Once you get fast enough in the game, you really never need to shoot the chaser. At that point, you can use the shotgun just for quick acceleration purposes to shave a second or two off your best time. Unless you're in Silver Skull. Jake gets the Hot Pants, which will save him from one horrible lava death by acting just like the rocketboots while making him invulnrable to magma, once per level. Levels are also going to be balanced with Jake in mind for the most part. Gunny might have an easier time in, say, a new level with a really fast monster, but Jake will always be able to survive. Unless Jake dies. I mean, it will always be possible in a mathematical sense for Jake to outrun the chaser. You'll never NEED Gunny, but she's awfully nice to have as an option.
You know what would be great? A WiFi keep-alive function, so that when you finish a level, these sorts of things don't happen: veracruz mex and I have been having a Silver Bull top score battle for a few days, and my recent highest score wasn't posted. Also note that my second-highest score also wasn't posted. My life is meaningless without the top spot in Silver Bull! EDIT: Yes, I'm addicted.
so you earned that sick score when you were offline and it didn't upload when you got back in wifi? I should stop playing when I'm not home...
