And Bone Torch and Purple Goo Torch - cool stuff ahead. You know what would be cool is a rope - what if you could lower a rope down your mine shaft and shimmy down and then back up again?
Something I just discovered - and I quite might be the last person to discover this - but the world is "sort of" circular. You can only move end to end, but if you are underground at the edge and have built or excavated at the other "edge," your screenshot view will show the two edges side by side. I found out because I was at the bottom and got to the very edge. I decided to emerge by going straight up with ladders. On the way up I would occasionally stop to see if I could determine how far I had left to go. In some parts I saw areas I had already cleared but on my right (looking at the screen), which I knew I had just cleared and come from. When I got to the top I went all the way left until the invisible force wall would not let me go any further and starting digging down. I only went about 10 squares so I could zoom out and check this - sure enough my two ladders are parallel in the middle of the screen, separated by some number of blocks (I didn't count them) that I guess is the forbidden zone!
What is cyber Monday? Never heard of it... It's only 3 dollars, go buy it for god sake. 3 dollars is very little for what you are getting.
I think they're adding drops for every mob too, so the components for those new torches might come from those. Ropes would make mining rather less dangerous, though. They probably should be difficult to craft if they're ever implemented for the sake of balance. One other thing is that I'd love to be able to grow plants and trees in pots or other similar containers. TakenXXDeadly: Cyber Monday is this American thing where there are a plethora of online sales. It's essentially Black Friday done online, from what I've observed.
We will post soon an update to our blog, with a preview of the new upcoming mobs and critters. Busy days here
Yes, there is.. we're working on the lite version together with 1.0.4 It will have a small world and much less environmental features but you will be able to get the feel!
thank you. I am not too stinchy spending 3bucks but I really would like to lay my hands on it first, since I dont like the minecraft stuff in 3D... thanks for the reply, mate
So how is this? I see complaints in some App Store reviews about glitches and possible loss of everything. Are these things fixed in updates or do they still exist? I'm interested in purchasing just don't wan to buy it only to quit playing out of frustration.
There are glitches. You do need to back up regularly. But backing up is easy, restoring is easy, you're never at serious danger as long as you take certain precautions. But this is an incredibly complex game with a shared inventory system spread over 3 worlds. There are endless things to find and it has created more of a challenge than anyone realized. That said, is it worth it? YES YES YES. it a by and large one of my top 10 games. I'm not going to say that I don't get frustrated when my inventory is lost, but I back up regularly to ensure that I'm never very far behind. There are over 1000 posts here. I think it says a lot about the game and the commitment to the developers, who have been more than communicative here, something I love about the iOS system.
By backing up are you talking about syncing and backing up to iTunes because while it may be easy it isn't really something I should have to worry about doing just to play a game and put my mind at ease. Or are you talking about the "Backup" option in the game, I took the plunge and bought it anyway and I noticed when I pause the game there is a backup option.
Nope you can do it all ingame. Can even pause to save your game and press backup button to save inventory. Then if lost anything just press restore and your backed up inventory is there.
In game back up is so painless and fast. When I find something cool I immediately pause and save and back up. I either continue where I am or return to my home base to place it in the house or deposit in a chest. The few times I lost inventory you just go to the options menu, hit restore items and continue on your way. So while you can do an elaborate file share and share on your computer (which before this back up was implemented it was the only way to go and made me nervous to play too long too far away from my computer), this system gives me the peace of mind to play anytime and anywhere. I think you will find it easier than another other game out there! But as andsoitgoes said, the real testament to the game is that this thread is getting so many posts and TONS of interaction with the devs, lots of people still playing, TON TON TON of updates coming with not just "bug fixes" but real gameplay additions. People are playing despite the crashing - and in my head the crashing is like a double edge sword - you make this fantastically rich and complex game but because it IS so rich and complex it crashes. So the devs, to their credit, came up with a work around and so my Junk Jack obsession continues in full flurry!
Thank you, that is all I needed to know. I didn't realize the backup feature was built right into the game. I tried it a couple times myself and it is really quick and painless as has been stated. Can't wait to get obsessed with collecting.
Christmas time! Hi guys, here is a screenshot of the new update we are working on: This is a mockup, but we are doing our best to implement everything Hope you like it!
