Spoiler There is one for solving all rounds and decrypting all ciphers named "Purified". Unfortunately, the text is too long and gets truncated..
Weird. I've done all that. Spoiler I've got the 100 percent and Cipher 1-10 solve achievements to prove it and unlocked the secret Now I don't know if there's a bug or if there's another condition to be met to unlock it. Don't know why after this many years, Apple can't show the full achievement descriptions. It's hardly rocket science.
It was a bug. Spoiler I completed the final level on my iPad but solved the final cipher on my iPhone. The iCloud issues meant that level 100 wasn't showing as complete on my iPhone and when the cipher sync'ed to my iPad, the achievement didn't unlock on there either. Recompleted level 100 on my phone and now the achievement is unlocked.
Wow dude, you're just a complete asshole here. Devs, great job on this game. I'm almost competely through it, and I definitely feel I've got my money's worth. My only criticism is with the cryptic messages,which are gonna be lost on most of the audience. I think the key to the messages should be somewhere within the game at least so te player can solve it without the use of outside resources. I know absolutely nothing about cryptics, and where I'd even start looking for the keys. Not to mention how I'd know which to use when I found them. Even right now, I'm stuck on one level out of 100, and I'm still thinking, "I wonder if this is a "trick" level, and I'm not getting it because I don't know what those damn messages say!". That's very frustrating to someone who has just "climbed the mountain" on a difficult game, only to feel there's that little something missing. Again, my praise far outweighs my criticism. Looking forward very much to updates and your future work.
Oh man ! I restored my iPhone an after reinstalling hundreds it didn't restore my progress ! Where's my perry and water asked for iCloud save data but nothing was asked in hundreds. Any way to get it back ? I didn't backup the progress using ifunbox.
To expand on that: we can agree that the main mechanic of the game is newtonian mechanics and inelastic collisions. What you get taught on the side is entropy/temperature and the way gas would behave in zero-gravity. What I mean by that is that in the "oh my god the screen is full of circles, where should I even begin to grow any of them?"-levels, you intuitively know that it is easier if the circles are moving slower than when they are whizzing around - which could happen if you have some of these movable circles that you can use to introduce energy into the system by whacking circles around. Since the collisions are inelastic, that energy is going nowhere but entropy and you are sitting there with a board full of whizzing circles where every little touch could be your last. Another related topic is the way a circles volume is related to its radius. When growing a circle, its radius increases linearly as does its circumference - but its area increases quadratically. You intuitively understand this when you try to solve these full rounds - growing many circles just a little bit is advantageous to growing one circle very large. The bigger a circle is, the more chances there are for other circles to bounce into it and ruin your game.
That is a great observation! Thinking about the game as gas responding to temperature is fascinating. Not to mention the secret power Spoiler which also introduces energy (or gravity), and which I have not been able to get the hang of. The slightest touch just adds too much energy for me to control. Although I think it can be useful in endless mode. Also, I may have found a bug. In level 83, sometimes I am unable to move two of the four movable circles - the ones with three lines. They just don't respond. Anyone else experience that? 83 and 100 are the only levels I have yet to complete. It feels like 83 will take whole minutes to finish. And playing this game on an iphone feels like playing Super Meat Boy on a keyboard.
So, I feel a bit lost here about the cryptic messages. As in, I'm absolutely stumped by them. How to complete them, what's needed to complete them, their purpose in the game. Everything about them doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone help? Once finishing a "cryptic message" level and continuing on without solving the puzzle, is there no way to go back and try the cryptic message again? I touch the red dot levels, but once completing the level, no 2nd chance at the message. Can anyone steer me in the right direction here? I'm absolutely in love with every other aspect of this game
These messages are 99.9% optional and just a brain teaser for inclined players. They do in no way hinder your progress on the rounds and solving them only gets you achievements. Finding them again after receiving them is part of the process. See my previous post for details
My 7-year-old is up to level 21 and having a blast! Love the music too. See this on my iPad for a long time and revisiting it every few months during my commute to work (with earphones of course).
is there any possible way to get ahold of an mp3 of the music? the game is fantastic but the music is something else and i often find myself just letting the app run so i can enjoy the music. would love to be able to play it on an endless loop and hell id even pay $2.99 for the thing!
Oh man. #1 on the endless leaderboard with 1,394! That's never happened to me before, and it's not going to last the hour probably, but damn that is exciting. Also, this: A loop of the song would be perfect to listen to while working.
Inky, great score. But I just had to throw down: https://twitter.com/aeiowu/status/288546605844553728
Lol, nice, but we both got knocked down. Guess I'll have to keep trying. I suspect the really high scores will result from mastery of the secret power.
Yea, freeze circles definitely make things easier. I think I got paged earlier, but in case anyone missed it. I recorded a 1000+ run awhile back: http://aeiowu.tumblr.com/post/40018111264/a-little-known-mode-in-hundreds-endless-arcade Also, I don't use the super power. I'm not good enough with it yet but I may try soon if I can't break 2000+ today...
