    if you're on the hat level you don't need practice.

    balance issues are a fictional problems brought up by warcraft pvp cry babies.

    learn to get good at something the way a developer intended it to be experienced. I'm sorry you feel entitled to being able to casually get through every level, but some levels weren't made to be casual.

    So give him some gun in the Space levels, but keeps the ghost!

    You want the game made especifically for yourself, and you are using the argument that you paid for it... as others have already said, you still can use the Hookbot for the (previous) levels you PAID for...

    Also the exploring argument fails too... you dont have almost nothing to explore in the space levels .

    That's really funny. Funny guy you are.

    Anyway Rocketcat/Kepa, you guys just made a small mistake. Fix it. That's all there is to it. :)

    I like Zelle by the way. She reminds me of Carmen Sandiego. Is that what you all were going for?

    Has anyone figured out a fix for the sandbox error? I can't buy the new character. On a jailbroken 3.1.2 iPhone.

    Wow, new levels are so hard, but i like it that way, something to work on, and in 1 month, i could, at last, beat the first one level.

    Don't. Really you can do all the old levels without hookbot. That includes Rat levels. I did. I know others have and more can too. Practice Practice Practices. Plus you'll need all the gold you collect to buy the crazy expensive items.

    I personally just use hookbot to find all the gold and to find the the best path. Then once that's settled I come back to Gunny or Jake to really play it since they have guns and that is a speed boost advantage that Hookbot doesn't have.

    But yeah. I get what you guys are saying about the Hat levels but seriously, the point of Hookbot was to be able to explore all the levels without being chased. Period. I already complained once before that they made a mistake by allowing hookbot to rank on the leaderboards and now they make another mistake with him by letting the curse (which is such a bad ass look btw guys. More on that in a second) chase him in the hat levels.

    Rocketcat. Don't go back and forth like that. We bought hookbot for a reason, to explore without care. Even the characters treat him like the dummy scout. Please change the way the Hat levels work with him in the last update.

    Also, ever since the the final Skull level set it makes me wish that you guys could go back and change the curse to reflect each set of levels. I'd love to see your interpretations of a frog or monkey curse.




    Btw I do enjoy the challenge with the hat levels. I got to 65% with Zelle and it really really reminds me of the hardest levels of Bionic Commando/Rearmed now.

    1: surely it would be harder to code in the gun for hookbot for it only to work on 1 level, it would be so much easier for kepa to just turn the ghost off?

    2: I think that the space levels are quite good for exploring, the stone level alone has the 1x1 square block parts that need perfect accuracy, I like exploring the level layout and things like that.

    3.what about new players who got hookbot AFTER these levels came out?
    and did the rat and skull levels come out before or after hookbot? I can't remember...
    think of it like this, you get through most of the game without buying hookbot, then you reach the hat levels, you decide that they are way too hard because of the ghost, so you buy hookbot, lo and behold, your life just got HARDER, because not only is the ghost still there and you have lost all of the other purchased things, but you are now $.99 worse off.
    unfair much?

    1, you seem to think that I play WoW, I dont, I know very well that some people say balance issues don't exist, but still, some things do have balance issues, specifically, that the wallmaster is too fast, and hookbot has no way of defending itself, I would be fine if hookbot had a gun, but he does'nt, try playing the hat levels with hookbot and see how far you get, I can wait

    *waits 20 seconds*

    done?
    see? I told you.

    2.some levels are not made for casual players, true, but when playing with a character designed to remove the ghost in order to make the game more casual friendly, then it isn't really the levels made casual, it is the player using an easy mode, the levels stay the same (plus,I imagine that it really wouldn't take too long to write in the "If char=hookbot ghost=False ELSE ghost=True" especially as they can just copy paste the code from the other levels)

    3.on the hat levels, surely you would need MORE practice to escape the ridiculously fast ghost?



    Anyway, should we suspend this argument
    A) before godwin's law kicks in
    and
    B) I would like kepa to comment about this, why did you make the exploration character be so pitiful in the extra levels?

    Is this game worth the $3 price tag? It seems a bit expensive, especially considering the DLC which I would probably buy. I will definately pick it up if it goes on sale, but will the devs ever sell it for $1 again?

    Hi Kepa,

    I"m having problems with the older levels as well. They characters are playing really funky, but the new level plays fine. I have a 3G running 3.1.2. I also bought the new character.

    Besides not being able to play the old levels without some kind of lag issues, I think the new levels are great, but I don't like the cosmetic only DLC. I think she looks very generic, and there really isn't any MUST HAVE about her. Even her hat set seems not super awesome. I like the idea of buying a character like Hook Bot that has some kind of differences, otherwise what's the point? I love giving you guys money, but I would rather you spend time on new games or new levels then characters that are kind of...blah. But I will say, I'm really impressed with the new levels, I think once again you have plussed the game.

    And let's all take a step back here. This game is really cheap, and the replay value is amazing. I play this more than any other game, on any other system. Now true, I don't game that much, but I'm comparing it too all games that try to steal my time. AND the fact that it's a retro game and it still kills, that's amazing. I hope you keep updating this game, but it would be nice if you looked at the older levels and could fix what is going on. I've lost a few challenges because of it! It just seems sluggish and the hook doesn't respond sharp.

    To sum it all up:

    -New levels are AMAZING.
    -New character is OKAY. I would like to see Hook Bot type advantages to a paid character.
    -The old levels seem to have a lag now that I bought the new character.
    -If you are on the fence to buy the game, BUY IT. It's worth it.
    -Thank you for your time Kepa.

    I don't think it will go on sale, but yes, buy it. Don't be so cheap, it's a real quality game.

    Kepa:
    My only complaint in this game is that if I got #1 on a global leaderboard before the first update and got the King Crown then after the first update it didn't automatically give you the "King of the Swing" achievement. I have no idea how many other hats I might have missed out on for other characters because of this but I mainly care about the achievement, I don't feel I should have to work my ass off to get into a #1 spot /again/ just do get an achievement for something I've already done. In the next update /please/ make it give you the achievement and any perks of the achievement (hats for other characters?) if you have the King Crown.
    Please.

    Ok AdamG3691, I see your point, despite not agreeing with it. Of course this decision is up to Rocketcat, and if they want to hear the players, we have already made our arguments (both sides).

    It seems the older characters are the ones I'm having some kinda of sluggish lag too, not Zelle. And it's only on the older levels.

    Also, I find Gunny's Hook and Jake's purple color VERY distracting, to the point that I don't even like to use them. Perhaps you can take items back at the store?

    And Zelle and Hookbot both NEVER save their alternative clothes after you restart a game. Meaning if I choose Zelle's cute nightime outfit, when I come back later she's wearing her fur coat again. Same with Hookbot.

    I guess I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with lag issues on the older levels. I was trying gold skull earlier and it is pretty much impossible now with the lack of responsiveness in the hook. 3G, 3.1.2.
