Check how many hours you spent on it in the stats. I spent less than 7hrs on it. I think my problem with coins is that in going for great times I have to constantly restart I get zero coins more often than not because what's the point in finishing a level when you know there's no chance of beating your time. I mean on 6-1 for instance, I'm sitting at #3 with the same 36.45 as JohnnyHand. I can get another .02 to .05 if the stars can just align... which would push me to 2nd or first... but every single restart means zero coins are added to the pile. So basically, I'm going to have to grind the levels without trying for high scores in order to unlock everything.. which I find a pain in the rear end. It would be nice if coins accumulated on a level after you beat the offline high score in it or something. It would make grinding levels for high scores more meaningful. Edit: Werebite870, I'm not seeing your score either. Both looking through the app and looking through the GC app.
So still 0.09 to get Also can someone add 10555 level 8 score to race list please, oh it's a new high too
You're right about the retry mechanism not accumulating coins. That is something we had talked about at some point, and I think I completely dropped the ball on that one. I can't remember why I didn't add that. Regardless, the plan is to add that in for the next update. So when you retry a level, you will accumulate whatever coins you had already collected. That should help farming coins! Probably allow folks to buy the disguises even quicker, which is fine -- we never had any intentions in making disguises hard to buy. The fun is in buying ALL of the disguises and making up silly disguise combinations.
Thank you. If it's not too much trouble can it be added to Shorts & Shorts Halloween too? That would be more incentive to replay them. Since both games were updated for the launch of Hooks I'm assuming someone has been already modding the code in the other games recently.
Yeah, sorry, we did talk about it. But we aren't sure if we will do anything. I totally understand wanting to have something to do with those coins, but a couple of issues arise: 1.) We have no leaderboards available to us since we are using all 25. However, Apple is extending that to 100, and I'm guessing those will become available when iOS7 releases. 2.) Given an extra leaderboard, the potential problem becomes that IAP can now be viewed as necessary to "buy" your way to the top of the leaderboard. 3.) I actually prefer having an expensive disguise (or disguises), or a special disguise, but then that can also be viewed as "forcing" players to buy the IAP in hopes of getting enough coins. Again, I totally get where you are coming from, and that isn't to say we won't do anything at some point. But right now it is probably doubtful. We really just wanted to keep coins strictly for buying disguises (and keep the disguises available for everyone), and leaderboards for scores since the focus on the game is speedrunning.
Sorry fellas, I had to jump in on 6-1 after seeing your back and forth - 36.38 And grats on your level 8 score!
I get your concerns, but what about some sort of ranking system? Every 10,000 coins could be a new rank with some weird title, and it would take twice as much for people with the doubler. The ranks wouldn't have to be shared with anyone, they could just be for personal amusement if you can make their titles interesting enough. I'm just trying to give some input. I can totally understand if you choose to just focus on new levels and other mechanics. Its an incredible game that you have in your hands. The money aspect just feels wasted after a point, which admittedly, very few players will ever reach
Yeah, thanks for the input! We like hearing back from all of you. At this point the plan is to try and fix all of the bugs found, and then work on a more substantial update (with a goody that we won't reveal yet ). But we'll definitely keep the coin thing in mind. If not in Mikey Hooks, then maybe the next game.
Really it's amazing to see the top 5 on 6-1. I think 36.40 is possible. First one there locks in first until someone beats it. I've moved on to other levels, but I may return. It was odd the focus on 6-1. The only reason I started playing it was on my second play through I ranked pretty high so I thought it might be easy to take top spot. Oh how that failed. Still I made it to third (tied for second) for a while there. ++Kudos to the dev for adding partial level coin collecting to all the games. I look forward to those updates and returning to the old games. Edit: just saw 36.38 on 6-1 go through. Wow.
Come on people vote for your favourite game lets get mikey up the by hook or by crook might inspire mike & mike to make new levels
Just played for like 40 minutes straight to get myself in the top 100 for race mode. My thumbs are sore but it was worth it!
