awesome update, i tip my hat to ya! a shame i will never have the patience to beat golden bull .. 75% is my best and i rarely get that far! too hard bud shame cos theres goodies a plenty after that it seems!
Awesome news. I just downloaded the update, but the APPStore still says that I have one update (this game).
So do the old global leaderboard #1 scores get immortalized? I ask because Gunny's extra shotgun blasts can give you that edge to push to the top of the old boards. For example, it appears that zoo took the top spot on Golden Bull with what looks like one of Gunny's hats. That's fine if that is the case, but it would be nice to have those old #1 leader scores somewhere.
Try again sometime after the update! Jake does get that new item to help him with lava, and it's a really cheap item. If you still can't, we're planning on adding in new non-Challenge levels in update 3 and a new paid-DLC character in update 2 that won't require beating Bull. We can probably see about doing something about this. Or possibly just go ahead and make a system for converting the all-time best scores into the (10% lowered to make it fair) scores for each week that are the placeholders. We'll figure something out.
I don't want to spend any money yet, saving to get 1000 coins to unlock achievement on OF But when I get the chance, I'll spend it on the hot pants. I want to beat that last bull level. I don't like OF on the bottom right- game icon. The small OF sign ruins it for me. Is it required to be put in?
It's not required, but it fit well so we just put it in there. Status update: Getting destroyed in challenges. I keep losing by like 15 points. My OpenFeint name is Kepa if anyone wants to send me some. I did accidentally get a couple #1 global scores while sending challenges, though! I'm using Gunny, but I have only bought one of the extra shotgun shots.
My usual practice when I get a game expansion is to start completely over with the entire game. I just did so, beat all levels (including Rat) and got top local scores on everything with the exception of the Rat levels. Those'll take some doing. Got some serendipitous good global results as well, including a top eight global on one o' the Frog levels. I can confirm that the default character's Hot Pants item suffices for one of the necessary "rocket boots" locations on the Golden Skull, which means that one Rocket Boots can be preserved for the Jewels at the end, which means that we're probably going to see a few new records made on that level. I wasn't able to do so myself, because when I set my Top Local on that level I still hadn't bought a 4th Rocket Boots ammo. Anyways, I'm surprised to find myself ranked rather high (4th) currently on the Grand Total leaderboards; these sorts of games generally are not my forte. If anyone wants to issue me a challenge, I think my OF username is "Confessor" - but I'm not sure; I'm kind of new to the OF system. EDIT: Also wanted to give my congratulations to Kepa and the entire Rocketcat team for this awesome update. Will eagerly await additional updates, as well as your next game.
Yeah, this is one of the reasons why globals are becoming a weekly-reset thing, with OpenFeint scores replacing the all-times scoreboards. The other reason is that we'd like to see the gold crown become more common, especially since it has an associated achievement. We do plan to add a BEST DUDES IN THE WORLD ONLY hat, but we won't have an achievement to match that hat.
Can't you lower the price of the final shotgun upgrade? Or is it supposed to be extremely time-consuming to buy?
It's just the natural progression of the price formulas. As I recall the hot pants are actually more expensive than they should be right now. We could reconsider it, though there's a lot of people with huge amounts of money now. Oh, by the way: Check the OpenFeint leaderboards at the bottom. There's a Total Coins Stockpiled stat board now. See the richest people in all of Hook Champ.
Scary, I'm #3 in total coins. And that is after buying all of the upgrades and hats in the new update.
I'm having an issue with my ghosts.. i've beaten my #1 score several times on a single level, but my ghost is still showing an old run.. how do I get it to show my best time?
