Thanks, man. Of course, after I posted that message I managed to get past that boss and on to Level 5. Never fails...
*sigh* It seems the game is glitching on me again. The awards I had were unlocked, had a star next to them, and everything was just dandy and cool. I had Hard mode unlocked, as well. But alas, all the Awards I had are gone (well I only had three, but still ), and Hard mode isn't unlocked anymore. Let me go through all the steps I made so maybe you could find the problem? Keep in mind that before this process, all the awards I had were unlocked and accounted for, and Hard mode was available to play: - New Game - Regular Difficulty - Died and had to use 1 Continue on Chapter I (at the end-level boss) - Lost both lives in that second try, but beat the boss - I believe I used a Continue here as well, and also at the boss. - Got frustrated and "Save & Quit" - A prompt comes up telling me all three awards I unlocked have been unlocked. - I check the Awards screen because usually when it shows that prompt again, it reverses those awards. Sure enough, no awards at all. - I go to "New Game" and Hard mode is invisible. I apparently haven't unlocked it yet. - Just for shiggles, I play my "Easy - 11,475,520 points" replay (where I also get my 50+ chain, and got the award for). I watch the replay up until the second level and then I exit it. - I'm greeted with a notification that I have unlocked the award for getting a chain bigger than 50. I check the Awards screen, and there it is, unlocked and golden. My other awards are still AWOL, though. And Hard mode is still locked, and still gives me the message that I have to beat the game on any difficulty to unlock it. I don't know how game development works, but I was thinking giving a step-by-step replay of what I did might help you zero-in on the problem. I don't know. I thought it would be worth a shot
Thanks MasterChief3624 Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce it even following your instructions ... I suspect it is related to the updating process, meaning those who directly get the updated version won't have the bug. I'll make sure it doesn't happen in the next update. Also, the "chain" awards (50,100,200) do get unlocked when you watch a replay where they are unlocked. Not game-breaking, but it is now fixed. I'm working on the big update, already got some powerups in, I think you guys will like it. Oh, and the game got featured on GIZMODO's Best Apps of the Week
All right, thank you for at least trying it It sounds like I should delete it and reinstall it. Should I? Or will I be fine waiting for that update coming down the pipeline? P.S. Oh and congratulations on getting featured on Gizmodo
Hello there A quick update to let you know I'm still hard at work on the alternate campaign (with power-ups and other surprises) for Icarus-X. If everything goes well, it will be submited next week. In the meantime, if you didn't get the game yet, it will be on sale for a limited time very soon!
Now on sale for 99 cents! Awesome, I had been planning to pick this up already but with the sale it is a no-brainer!
yeah,... thanks for the update! HIGHLY, highly appreciated and awaited update can't wait... hopefully apple will do the process quickly. And all others... .99 GET IT!!!!
I guess I missed the price change, so yay! It is on sale NOW I just noticed n0name0 posted a 43 Million Easy run! Max Chain 196! Almost did the One life clear too! I'll try to make a video out of it... For those who have the game, just watch the replay, it's insane!
Loving this so far. Edit: deleted non-issue here, I should've checked the settings menu. But otherwise this is a fantastic game, and my second favorite game of this type (admittedly I don't have Espgaluda II, however, so I don't know if that one is better).
Pro Tip: Check out the settings menu. I'm totally with you on the controls, BTW; the jumping drives me nuts. Thankfully, Nick was kind enough to include both options so we can haz our choice!
Hey, whattaya know! Thanks, that makes the game so much better for me. Well, that clinches it, this game is just awesome!
Awesome. And I'm not bothered at all about the sale. Knowing the game is being well supported makes me feel good about having paid full price. Congrats to those getting it for 99 cents, it's a fun shmup.
I hope this game jumpes big into the top 10 in next days...!!! (and we will see the update more than soon ) @medianotzu: what was your problem which was solved with the option menu? and please let me know whats your favorite No1 in this genre. thank you!
Just bought it. I didn't know that this hit the app store already. Must have just hit yesterday. I'll be sure to rate it on the app store. See you guys on the leaderboards. EDIT: LOL @ some of the Award titles. Here is the complete list of awards with prerequisites, and what they unlock (if anything): A New Beginning Complete Chapter I on any mode If It Bleeds We Can Kill It Max Chain over 50 Take No Prisoners Max Chain over 100 Master Blaster Max Chain over 200 Son, I am Dissappoint Complete Chapter I without killing a single enemy Your LG is Nothink on the LAN Complete the game on any mode Unlocks Hard mode Nothing Lasts But Nothing Is Lost Complete the game on Regular mode Unlocks Impossible mode The Higher Ground Complete the game on Hard mode It's a Trap! Complete the game on Impossible mode All Your Base Are Belong To Us Complete the game with one credit on Easy mode Resistance Is Futile Complete the game with one credit on Regular mode How Can She Slap? Complete the game with one credit on Hard mode All Limits Are Self-imposed Complete the game with one credit on Impossible mode No Time to Bleed Complete the game with one life on Easy mode Mer II Et Fou Complete the game with one life on Regular mode I'm Afraid I Can't Do That, Dave Complete the game with one life on Hard mode One Of These Days... Complete the game with one life on Impossible mode I wish it was OpenFeint enabled, but hey...maybe in a future update..? Also, there are some inconsistencies in the capitalization of some of the Award titles. Should look into making it consistent in a future update.
There's still a bug where if you hit the dock button button and restart the app after dying several times during a level, selecting "continue" proceeds from the beginnning of whatever level was exited before the lives were lost and uploads the replay without the parts showing lives lost. It does that on both the ipad and 2nd gen itouch. Fixing that bug is my #1 request for the update.
Thanks for the bug report. I'll PM you for more details (I don't want a possible exploit to be publicly exposed ). BTW, the awards bugs (all of them) will be fixed in the update.
