Thank you, shaun! So there are only 6 combinations of times & scores existing: time -> score xx,x2 -> xxxx8 xx,x3 -> xxxx6 xx,x5 -> xxxx5 xx,x7 -> xxxx3 xx,x8 -> xxxx1 xx,x0 -> xxxx0 And if one have a time ending of 3 or 8, he will get one point less The formula in the HS-Table should now calculate the correct times of the high scores. If not, tell me The reason for this one point less obviously is caused by the internal time slices of 1/60s, so the real times are xx,x166667 xx,x333333 xx,x500000 xx,x666667 xx,x833333 xx,x000000 where xx,x3 and xx,x8 are the only ones that are rounded down for the display but rounded up (by mistake) for calculating the score
I just couldn't put the game down. I kept telling myself "just one more go." One of the handful of iOS games that does that to me.
Strange how I'm not on the screenshots, I should have been 8th in one of those as my time is 36.53. I bumped you to 10th by taking 9th, then I went from 9th to 7th and currently am 10th. I wonder if something is up with the scoreboard? Whatever the case if I get more obsessive about 6-1 I know two areas I can improve.
Cool. It was just strange to look at the screen shot and not be there. I know I can move up a little more, it's just a matter of dedication.
Cheers had to give it a try sorry , 0.10 still in it to but had a fail on the three little jumps near end doh
I hadn't noticed anything until you mentioned this. I think I may know what is going on behind-the-scenes. I'll add to my todo list to investigate further. Thanks for sharing that! I'm glad to hear from someone that finds the game to be more difficult, as pretty much every review mentions how short and easy the game is. We definitely tried to increase the difficulty, but we didn't want to make it too difficult. But difficulty is always one of those things that is hard to balance. We still wanted to make the game approachable for everyone to play, yet add a bit more challenge (and obstacles) for you speed demons!
And I thank you for making it more approachable ! I enjoy gaming very much, but I am also very bad at gaming. Most games get too difficult too quick for me ( loe3 being a good example)and that makes my enjoyment fade away after a while. Mikey hooks gives me a feel of accomplishment . World 5 is a challenge so far for me but I love every minute of it!
Hmmm... it is going to take quite a bit of grinding to unlock everything for those without the coin-doubler & magnet. I've put in 13hours grinding fairly heavily for highscores and still lack 44 disguises including the pricy gold hat (4000G alone). I've 100% finished all the levels... yet the grind goes on. I'm not exactly upset about this. I love the game. It just goes to show there is a little balance issue with the price of the disguises despite lowering the prices before the game launched as well as the disadvantage given to non-IAP gamers. If anything this is just a heads up. I'm not sure what I'll do. I can get a bit obsessive about finishing games 100% including unlockable do-dads like this. In Mikey Shorts I finished everything in the game with 6:21:27 (as well as grinding for high scores) on the clock except I missed unlocking 25 disguises. Granted there are more things in Hooks to buy, but it would have been nice had the game been a little more balanced to favor having enough gold to unlock everything at the end or just past the end (or heck a nice gold reward for finishing the game or getting all the achievements so most everything could be purchased). Judging the prices, I'm probably going to have to grind for many hours to ever possibly unlock everything. On the positive side, at least the top achievement for buying disguises was achievable in both games without much grinding. So the only reason to get them all is simply to get them all... which I did give up on Mikey Shorts and especially the super short Halloween version. I'm not raising a red flag... just noting an imbalance. I guess this is one of the bonuses for buying the IAP that those that don't purchase IAP will miss out on. Kind of bites, but maybe it's just not expected that people would want to 100% buy all the disguises in the first place.
Beat the story mode this morning. Fantastic game. I love the hook mechanics in this game. Collected all coins and hidden coins. Time to either start the challenge stages..or get 3 stars! =) This game is up for a my personal game of the year (like Mikey Shorts!)
I think coins are right and no need for multiplier , on mikey shorts I bought every disguise and just checked and have over 400,000 coins sat their doing nothing and that was one of people's flag up thing were too cheap , if you want these things you got to work for them
And thank you for sharing that. Really good to hear what everyone thinks about the difficulty. We already knew that games like LoE3 have that brutal difficulty for people that want a hard challenge. Thanks! Glad you have been enjoying the game!
Ok, then now i know you know it The investigation was already done, btw http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=2934700&postcount=281 Did i mention, that i love the new mikey? I do!
Took 6-1. Shaun Glitch, how much lower did you say the score could go? I couldn't really make sense of your post
