No. It freeze everytime you go out to your iDevice's menu. The touch will be unresponsive the moment you switch back to the app again. It will be resposive again after pressing or tapping multiple times on anything on the screen. Just keep on tapping until the touch screen for the game works again. This happens on my iPad 3 everytime I go back to my iPad3's menu (Springboard) and returns back to the app. I just tap anywhere until the touch is responsive again.
Day 4 Post 1 Adding a endless mode with random enemies would greatly increase the longevity of the game.
Ok so I finally got around to playing a bunch of levels in the Meadow world and have some initial impressions and suggestions. First, the graphics and sound/music are great! The in-game sound effects are a little repetitive but that's always the case with TD games. The fantasy theme isn't usually my thing but it isn't too over the top and cheesy here. It reminds me a lot of Elf Defense and that's a good thing. The variety of towers and enemies are pretty good too. The are of the usual variety but vary in speed and strength. Animations during attack is nice as well. Unfortunately while watching the action and not touching the screen for a few seconds, the screen dims and turns off. Please make the game overrule that so that it stays on no matter what while you are in game. Also, the in-game store is extremely cramped and very overwhelming to look at and comprehend at first. I had to psych myself up to actually look through it carefully and figure out what everything was. Granted, this is coming from someone who isn't 100% into rpg elements but many customers are just like me. It just may need a little tweaking to not be so crowded. Also, there are lots of spelling/translation errors but everyone else have been covering those so I'll not go into detail. It's very stable for me so far though and very fun so I'm having a great time with it.
I was just looking at the games icon and I feel that it needs an overhaul. It should stand out more and I think if you use the monster from the main menu and from the poster on the first post of this thread that it will look much better. And icon is very important because it needs to grab your attention when you're looking through apps on the AppStore it also gives a first impression of the game. It just needs to give you that wow factor and I think changing it would be a good idea.
Day 4 Post 2 Yea they should really change their icon. I just scrolled through my list of games on my iPhone and non of them have either their company name or icon on the game icon itself. The top yellow bar takes up way too much space that could be used for a bigger Lich.
Day 4 Post#1 Hello everybody, I'm late today BUGS 1) It is not bug to be honest but I was surprised that there's a 100000 mana limit in game: 2) There's a tower menu bug on maps where it is possible to scroll up and down. Buttons are a bit moved from their original position, but there's no need to move-they fit in screen even in original position: 3) I'm not sure that it is bug, but it's not possible to tap on square which is placed right behind the lich. Does the lich lay on ground? lol... ------------------------------- TYPOS Just noticed that there's Wixdom Hood in my inventory. I suppose it should be Wisdom Hood. ------------------------------- SUGGESTIONS 1) I think that every monster should have a name. 2) I think that maxed out Harvest Night should kill 100% of enemies and "eat" more than 100HP, 20%HP for example(on high levels it's much more than 100HP).
Day 4 Post#2 Now about the HACKS. Today I'll talk about resource-editing. After I found out that save-files are a bit encrypted HEX-files, I was sure that scripts are the same. But it was a great surprise to see scripts as PLAIN TEXT FILES. Here's the files in game folder which could be edited with text editor. Code: lich.dat lichItem.dat lichlook.dat lichweapon.dat m00xxx.map obj0xxxx.dat quest.dat tower.tow In lich.dat you can edit lich's reqired EXP to level up. Just edit this file as on screen: And after any mission you receive any amount of EXP and voila - you have 255th level. Also you will receive huge amount of stat points. In lichItem.dat you can edit scrolls' stats: In lichlook.dat you can edit robes' stats: In lichweapon.dat you can edit weapons' stats: In m00xxx.map you can edit monsters' routes. In obj0xxxx.dat you can edit monsters' stats. In quest.dat you can edit quests. But there's no need with such hacked already stats In tower.tow you can edit towers' stats. But it is quite hard to understood 'who is who' in this file, so just use lich's equip stat change:
Regarding freeze that happened once when casting fireball pausing multitasking out then returning unable to pause game but lich breathing: This is not the case on my iPod 3G 32GB (3GS) running iOS 5.0.1. I can muktitask in and out at will without noticable performance issues, nothing I have experienced is as you've described. When the freeze I described happened I tried desperately to tap repeatedly in different areas with no luck. For kicks I've been trying to reproduce the freeze I experienced but have so far been unable to do so, will report if I can. Aside from amusing myself with gameplay in LD I'm assigning myself a mini"quest" of trying to get it to freeze or crash.
Yeah, I'd like to see an endless mode added too. Also I've noticed when a new tower is shows is says "recommend" it should just say new tower.
Just wanted to let the devs know I haven't had any crashes or lag on my iPod touch 4g. Game runs smoothly even running with it at 4x. Haven't had any issues so far.
I haven't been able to replicate any of the freezes or crashes either. I'm on an iPhone 4 running the latest software and everything is very smooth. I'm not sure why but I like the numbers next to the towers representing what level they are. It's much clearer than other TDs which have some other sort of changes in visuals. At first I thought it was cheesy but then I realized that it's easy on the eyes and gives you more time to focus on strategy and the action instead of trying to figure out what towers need upgrades or not. As for the icon discussions above, I agree that the current one doesn't stand out too much or draw a curious browser in but it is certainly not terrible either. Maybe just something that better shows off the great art style would be nice...
Spelling Errors: Should be wisdom not wixdom. Should be Cater's robe to match the other Cater's stuff.
Had a weird button type freeze where i couldnt do anything today so i restarted it....will try to replicate it in the AM tomarrow....been noticing a huge difference in 2x and 4x mode when near the end of the wave....ill be kickin azz and then crank it up and BAM lich go bye bye...is it suppose to be harder or just speed up?
Day 5 #1 BUG #1 The maximum value of MP in a stage is 100,000. I don't know whether it's a bug or not. #2 The background of Help is totally BLACK when accessing from the pause menu in a battle. #3 The background of Option accessing from the Main Menu is BLACK. Considering others in the game, I think it should be transparent like the pause menu in game. #4 In some stages, you can see there's a huge space between the value and symbol + in the upcoming enemy information. Suggestion #1 All skills are used in the screen with a circle pattern. But they are the same color with different size/range. I think it could be better with different colors as well. #2 The maps are complicated in later stages. Sometimes there are even 3 or 4 entries for enemies. It's better to have a routine guide to show how the enemies go before the battle starts. Currently there's only a symbol to tell enemies coming or not in red and white. #3 Script Error #1 The name of Soul Stealer is misspelled. - Gain more MP when enemy is killed in its range #2 Campaign 1 in Lava Map - Destroy more than 5 buildings #3 Campaign 2 in Lava Map - Summon fewer than 6 types of tower - Clear the stage with more than 500 MP remaining - Destroy more than 4 buildings Make the 2nd Quest be 2 lines to see the sentence clearly. #4 Campaign 4 in Lava Map - Summon fewer than 15 towers - Sell more than 5 towers - Play the game at twice the speed until the end #5 Campaign 5 in Lava Map - Don't summon a tower until clearing the 3rd wave #6 Campaign 6 in Lava Map - Don't summon a tower until clearing the 3rd wave #7 Campaign 7 in Lava Map - Clear the stage with less than 50%(space)HP - Kill more than 5 units using a tower's single fire - Clear all the waves within 900 seconds #8 Campaign 8 in Lava Map - Summon fewer than 6 types of tower #9 Campaign 9 in Lava Map - Summon more than 20 towers - Clear the stage with more than 1500 MP remaining - Upgrade towers more than 40(space)times before the game ends Make the 2nd Quest be 2 lines to see the sentence clearly. #10 Campaign 10 in Lava Map - Play the game at twice the speed until the end
Day 5 Post #1 Suggestions: I noticed that the Theme's name like in the image above is not inside the bar. It was outside and didn't feel right or not proper. I think it should be inside the bar. I've made an example of how it should look like in the image below. ------------------------------------- Another thing I didn't like in the game is the Quest where your Lich have to die in a certain wave to complete. I mean why do you want your Lich to die in the first place? This is the first game I've played that wants the main character to die just to finish a Quest or Task. I mean after playing for a couple of minutes on that certain Level and your Lich just end up dying just to complete a Quest and have to start all over again to finish the Level and unlock the next one. I think it is not right to have a quest like that. Maybe change it to a different quest like Don't make Lich attack an enemy until the end, Don't use Skills/Spells until the end, etc. ------------------------------------- I think adding a notification that you've completed a Quest in-game would be better specially if you have no idea if you've completed the Quest in that Level. I am having hard time figuring out if I did complete a certain Quest on a level specially the Quests like Don't destroy more than 6 buildings, Kill more than 5 units for a tower's single fire, Use skills more than 15 times, Kill more than 50 units by Lich's attack, etc. I've made an example of how the notification for Quest completion on a Level would look like in the image below. NOTE: You can also use a Check sign instead of the word Completed and or remove the Quest word.
DAY 5 #2 Hey this issued only when Frozen is unlocked in Normal mode. After you finish the Lava in Normal and unlock Hard mode, the names are back to the bar again. BUG #1 Words are covered by the Quest icon in Gold. Script Error #1 Campaign 3 in Meadow Map (Hard) - Clear the stage with less then 80%(space)HP - Summon fewer than 30 towers #2 Campaign 4 in Meadow Map (Hard) - Clear the stage with less then 80%(space)HP #3 Campaign 5 in Meadow Map (Hard) - Destroy more than 5 buildings - Summon fewer than 30 towers #4 Campaign 6 in Meadow Map (Hard) - Summon fewer than 15 towers
