Hi don't know if this has been asked, sorry if it has.... If I buy the coin counterfeiting machine on my iphone, will I have to repurchase it to use on another idevice that has the same itunes account? Or is this a one time purchase? Thanks.
You won't have to buy the coin counterfeiting machine again as long as all the devices are on the same iTunes account. I play on two devices under the same account and have the coin counterfeiting machine on both devices. It is the same for all in-app purchases.
Got some more ideas for everyone especially for HalfBrick! Hope you like and please comment!! Costumes: 1. Iron Man (or any superhero) 2. Astronaught 3. Pikachu (or any pokemon) 4. Sports Uniforms 5. Bird Outfit JetPacks: 1. Silly String Jetpack 2. Leaf Blower Jetpack 3. Angry Bird JetpacK 4. Flamethrower Jetpack Vehicles: 1. Robot Unicorn 2. Car (Preferably a Ferrari) 3. Velociraptor
With the new update, I notice that while riding bad as hog, Barry no longer shoots passing scientists.
Hi Guys! Thanks for all the bug reports and such! We are aware of all the issues and we are working on fixes as quickly as we can, which will be included in the next update which comes with even more awesome new content! If you are having any problems, a lot of them can be fixed by our amazing Community Manager, James, who can be contacted at [email protected]
Oh, also, not sure if this is fixed in the latest update, but when you have the Vehicle at the start gadget, and Coin Magnet gadget, the coin magnet animation won't play.
Or if it's too difficult to pry the lid off the cookie jar this soon, could you talk about what gadgets were scrapped, and why?
Going mad here. I decided not to cash in when I reached level 15 to see what would happen. Now I can't find any way to cash it in and I'm stuck with that last stupidly hard reach 1750m with no coins and nothing else. How do I reset? EDIT: I didn't want to bump my own post but when you see the dev wander into the thread almost right below and not answer the question you do feel a bit sad. I did google the hell out of this already by the way.
Sure thing! We had a LOT of different gadget ideas right at the beginning. We had to scrap a bunch, but a lot of others just went through some simple evolutions to get to where they are. One example of this is Gemology. It originally started its life as a simple x1.2 coin multiplier. It basically got applied in the same way as the Counterfeit Machine, adding a multiplier at the end to your coins. It worked totally fine, but we really wanted all our gadgets to be highly visual and visceral, so after some tweaking and experimenting, that's how we ended up with the special gem coins. It has pretty much the same net effect, but overall it feels way more Joyride Two in particular that we scrapped were 'Barry Sense' and 'Time Lord' Barry Sense was like a Spidey Sense system for Barry. It basically added an early warning system for Zappers, so you knew that another one was coming and roughly where before it was even on screen. We probably spent about 3 weeks on this, but it was way way too powerful. Even just a split second of extra warning really threw the whole balance of the game out. Time Lord was super insane. It started with the fairly obvious idea of having a Shield. That seemed a bit too simple and powerful however, so we upped the ante to when you get hit the first time, instead of dying, we rewind THE ENTIRE GAME 500 meters. It was insane, the whole game would slow down, then start playing in reverse. This way it wasn't as powerful as a straight up shield, but gave you a chance to do better a second time. The problem was threefold, it was technically very challenging (due to the way Jetpack was written), it was hard to make it look really good, and it was difficult to explain to the player just what on earth was going on! There were some others as well, but I might go into that another time. We didn't just scrap Gadgets themselves however. We tried maybe 5 completely different systems for the gadgets before that, such as being able to level up gadgets, having a crazy Diablo 2 style unlock tree, being able to apply the same gadget more than once (triple Flying Pigs!) and other crazy things. All up the gadgets was about 4 months of full time work for 4 people, so you can probably understand why we were so excited to get it out there!
Oh man those sound awesome, thanks for the reply. I'm really enjoying the game a lot. It's so different with the gadgets. Are more gadgets going to be added in the future? (Maybe some of the deleted ones)
Nice! Many of us non-developers can't appreciate how difficult it can be to balance a game for fun. There's such a fine balance between lots of cool stuff, fun, rewarding, accessible, yet challenging so not boring, and yet without being so hard it's frustrating to players. Are you guys planning to further up the graphics, the full game experience iPad retina?
Hmmm, the update mentioned that it made the resolution better on iPads and the iPhone4, but I'm seeing a huge difference on my iTouch 2nd gen. Anyways, thanks for all the continuous effort y'all have put into this game.
I really want to try out the iPad version but without iCloud support, the idea of having 2 separate grind session going on is too much for me
