    I survived once but you have to get lucky with the map set up. Sometimes you'll spawn between a bunch of traps and enemies. When I survived there was more clear space so I was able to dodge attacks. I feel like there should be an achievement for making it out of that level alive :)

    Is anyone else bothered by the green hue from the alien ship? I really don't even want to play using it. It bothers my eyes that much.

    I love the bowling ball. I just got that. Hehe

    Today here in Brisbane it was... PrettyGreat.

    Cache found, developers met, weird random encounters and even some networking.

    Burger now, story shortly and USB contents coming.

    If i counted right, there are 15, same as i found. My guts (and the logic) say that there should be one more to complete a full picture...very mysterious this all is.

    Reminds me of puzzling with God of Blades (White Whale Games) somehow.

    Secret gold level.

    How do you get to this secret gold level? Is it random?

    You have to press the buttons in the right order on the number altar. If you get it right, an alternative next level button will pop up in the middle. How long you'll survive when you're there- that's another matter. Might want to avoid those puzzles altogether if you're going for a high score run.

    Yeah, I got to level 11 and there was something like 3 of them at once raining down hellfire on me. They're like the Lakitu Cloud's evil arachnid cousins.

    BRISBANE CACHE SECURED


    Ok so today I slept, was thoroughly unproductive as a result and then woke up and thought 'Ahh, I wonder if I could find the cache.' When I was a short distance away, I posted as such on Prettygreat's page. Pretty much instantly they liked the status. Despite being close to 5pm, these guys were clearly on the lookout for people taking up the geocaching challenge.

    So I got to the location. It was a small park on the banks of the river, only about 20 minutes walk from my house. A bunch of benches and grass looking out onto the city's iconic Story Bridge.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    I started to feel incredibly watched.

    "Warmer...colder...like ice!..."

    Then I spotted a suspicious looking character in the corner. Kinda hunkered down. I went over with a camera, ready to snap if it turned out to be someone from PrettyGreat.

    The smell then hit me. Oh crap...it's...literal crap. And I registered the guy now had his pants down around his ankles and he looked at me with a mixture of embarrassment and general upset.

    O...kay then.

    "I feel so watched right now and oh god I think there's someone pooing in the same area. What is this I can't even" I replied back.

    I changed areas and started to look around some other benches. Checked my Facebook. "Colder". Changed sides. "Hot!" "Red hot" "Fire" which became "You had the right idea."

    I was confused by the timing as I didn't always check my phone so didn't know WHEN I'd been hot or WHEN I'd had the right idea.

    At this point, paranoia set in. Were they even watching? "Haha, you're probably in Hawaii just playing with me," I replied.

    "You are wearing a green shirt."

    Either my occasional IAPs in Quest For Stuff had somehow given them this information with the prospect of turning me into a whale or they WERE indeed watching me.

    "please don't shoot. I'm trying" I said.

    "Around middle bench is interesting..." said the tiny little developers in my phone before adding "You were inches away..."

    By this point everyone was starting to look like game developers.

    "You are wearing a red jacket?" I asked. "Keep doing that! Middle middle" they said as I started foraging through bushes.

    At this point, a man with finely crafted facial hair came past and asked how I was going. "Not bad," I said. "Are you...pretty great?"

    See what I did there? ;) He replied "Not bad" and kept going back up to the street.

    So I kept looking. A girl came along curious as to if I was geocaching as she did it too. Janey. She was nice and helped me for a bit. Ironically, she had just been playing a Halfbrick game (and I actually asked her if she was a plant :p) She pointed out the Prettygreat guys on a nearby rooftop looking down on us and gave them the one-fingered salute (she said sorry after). SEE ROOFTOP ON MIDDLE BUILDING IN THIS PHOTO

    The developers kept trying to feed me clues but it was getting dark and I was feeling around through everything. There were spiders and that man was probably going to come back to do some more public crapping.

    But then the cache was located and Lord Beardy-Beard was indeed from PrettyGreat. I was able to go up to their offices briefly, meet the team, congratulate them on a great game and get a photo :) Thanks Hugh, Phil etc for letting me do that and well done again. I want to hear from Janey now though :)

    Devs,

    As we physically find the different USB drives for the secret stuff, are you going to take those locations out of the game in an update? Or maybe put a "DISCOVERED" stamp across them?
