After a couple more levels, I also think it'd be great to see a joystick implemented, though I won't stop playing if it's never added... I did notice that there's no options for turning the music or fx off, and they play over any music you might be listening to on your iDevice... Hope an options screen or something (little music or speaker icons in the 'deeper' section?) can be added...
I agree with others about a joystick control option. Having fun with this game, presentation and art direction is fantastic.
Hey! Massive thanks guys and gals for the early feedback. We are super happy that you like the story and that it drags you in for more. To answer some of your ideas. - (@botomatic, @syntheticvoid, @boodro82) We are already working on an alternative control scheme - we've heard requests for it from other sources as well. In 1.1, that we hope to submit in ASAP, you'll see added ability to switch controls (at least for some of the game modes where it makes sense) to a virtual joystick. (@syntheticvoid) - skipping in-level cutscenes and dialogs is bit of a challenge for the time being but we can see it being a drag when replaying levels and we have some ideas how we could maybe try to tackle that but for the time being it's still too early to promise anything right away - bug with the outro scene in level 2 is already fixed and waiting for patching in 1.1 - adding switch for in-game SFX/Music should be fairly easy to do - we'd need to test it to make sure that it plays well with itunes music and such - good point and we'll defo look into that! - (@ramzarules) no hats, masks, scarves or pet owls for now - until we can support player designed vanity items like Team Fortress does what's the point? - @ImJPaul - here's a tissue for you my friend /wipeshands Hope to hear more from you guys! Touch Arcade community was a massive help for us in beta period (hi5 guys!) and we hope it will continue. We can only wish we had reached out to you sooner than we did but this is the closest you will hear complaining from us For these curious - without spoiling much - there are no hats but there are quite a few different characters, couple game modes, some of which you could have seen in the previews and in between lots of story that we hope you will enjoy. Also more content coming in as free updates so we hope you will help us make the best game it could be! We will be following this thread for as long as there are questions or feedback coming in so hit us with anything that comes to your mind best, Tom and the Vigilantes
I bought this early this morning before going to work and played a couple of levels. The game stuck with me the entire day (in my head, I mean) and I couldn't wait to come home and say the smallest thing about it: If you can't see that this is a labor of love, you're a ****ing idiot. Outstanding work. It's gorgeous from head to toe (menus included), sounds amazing and is so bloody original. PS: Unless another mod changes it, I'm leaving the NZ tag on this thread in the hope that it gets some love and attention with tomorrow's releases.
Bought without caring whether it was worth it or not, bc im sure it is! The trailer looked awesome! Can't wait to play this!
you'll enjoy it! i agree with a joy stick tap to move or making it follow your finger is kind of hard eh but it's still a great game visually and gameplay-ing-ly
Bought because of the dev's replies and all your opinons i think i'll enjoy it for charm alone. Edit: after the first two stages, i am so glad a v-stick is coming! The game has the same problem with Sparkle 2:Evo, it is gorgeous but you can't really see what's going on with your finger all over the screen, and that's on the ipad air 2.
man... this is everything we've ever wanted when making this game!!! We want you to experience this game with your emotions and we want you to play it deliberately because you really wait for whatever is behind the corner... we're so happy right now! Mario
Ok time to help us get you what you want! Before we started implementing virtual stick we added support for Playstation DS4 because if we are to get a stick in we need a proper reference to how it should behave! We have a first working version in and we need your help! @botomatic, @syntheticvoid, @boodro82, @ramzarules, @Hambo12! Fancy testing prototype before we start finalising the new feature and packaging it for 1.1 release? Anybody else would like to try to help? we need few people to give it a go - but just before signing up for testing make sure you have the time for it cause it's a serious and responsible job you know! /hugslovespocketowls best, Tom Vigilante
If you're looking for testing on MFi support, I'm game I use the 1st gen MOGA, just in case u need specifics
That would be awesome - I bet it should be closer to the experience of DS4 compared to virtual but let's try to get all of them to play nice! Will PM the details.
Well HELLZ yeah I would! I've also got a MOGA, though, so if you'd rather save a spot for a stratus or madcatz or whatever, by all means... But yeah, I'd be interested. =oD
Been looking at this and finally downloaded. What a great price for such a well crafted game! Glad I didn't miss out. The comic book style and beautiful artwork are great. Love the characters' fun personalities too. This is one of those games that just makes you happy Lots of character for sure. Looking forward to the V stick, as it is a little tough to see with your finger/hand covering the screen. I can easily recommend Imps in Tokyo to anyone that is hesitating. Nice work, We Are Vigilantes!
Really unique game there I like the core gameplay even if normaly I don't like drawing with my finger on the screen... Love how player characters work, i.e.: that you can spin them around when your finger is very close to the imp character. I don't know how with replayability, because you have missions with different goals, but right now I'm into it BTW don't know if that's a bug, but on stage 4 I think? The one where you have to imprison bad guys in bubbles I had my counter as 10/10, but the mission didn't end... Then I got killed, so I don't know if I could somehow finish this level. Kudos for the great game from Warsaw Spoiler Edit: know I know, I had to collect ten bad guys and wait until all of them will come out. But there should be a timer or something to show that it works like this.
Thanks a million, that's what we wanted to achieve! thanks a lot for all kind words and for pointing this out! Basically your goal is to survive each and every level whereas sometimes you have to complete some additional task like capture bad guys but now we realise it may not be so apparent to everyone We'll make better description of the main goal for this level. Ps. tip from dev - the moon is the timer in almost each and every level. When it goes down it means the level is about to be completed Cheers, Mario
What a beautiful and engaging game! It's really lovely and the characters are just adorable. I'm having a great time playing it.
Thanks a lot Valentia and Bobaferret! We still have a lot we want to deliver and things we can do better but hearing this kind of words of support we know that the direction is right and we are working to make the best out of it! And small update on what we are up to! The virtual stick / controller support is already in the testing (thanks to you guys!) and we are working on more stuff - check out full list at http://wearevigilantes.com/#news. If there was anything else missing there that you'd love to see in this first improvements update let us know in the thread! best, Tom Vigilante
