Strange, I also have an iPod Touch 2G and haven't had any issues at all. Runs very smooth. Have you rebooted maybe?
When I first played the game on a 2G, it froze for literally a second every time I picked up a muffin, which just wasn't going to be playable. Since rebooting, that delay has vanished, but the game still hitches slightly and the controls become less responsive when there are a lot of enemies onscreen, more so on the second map than the first.
This has started happening to me today as well, I have an iPod Touch 4G. I closed all apps and restarted the device as well. I'm going to try deleting it and reinstalling it after I beat the last boss. Edit! Just beat him! I used the pit respawn trick. The game then gave me a choice to stay a knight or return to my old form. I chose old form and the game ended. Nothing happened. Gonna beat it again and try the other choice.
Agree with all of these. The dragon is terrible and that bull takes so long to unlock and when you do you expect it to knock enemies and send them flying, but nah it sucks. Plus by the time you charge it up you're close to beating the stage anyway. Best creatures are the Unicorn, Mr Rainbow, Bird, Zombie, Cyclops, Ninja Kitty and Monkey. The Frog is medium with the Grizzly below it. Knight, Mage, Archer and Gnome are in the lowest tier (cause they do little damage it's almost not worth the effort, even when upgraded) with the baby Dragon and Bull as dead last. All of the perks are good, although I've surprisingly found the time slowdown to be least useful. You've just got to know the stage properly. Monster Hopper is good for narrow areas with plenty of congestion around ledges. Double Jump is good for areas where you want to jump across wide gaps quick or jump up past ledges. Pit Respawn is awesome for the Castle and Lava stage. Learn where the respawn area and the surroundings. If you get trapped, near the bottom, just go down near the pit and look near the top to see the position of enemies near the top, wait till you get some space the jump in the pit and respawn. You have a second of invincibility so use it to jump in the proper direction. The Castle spawns you on the ledge directly above you. The Lava level spawns you at the 2nd highest ledge right where the muffin spawn, so time the enemies by watching the indicators then jump in the pit, then immediately jump to your right to avoid any enemies you might have mistimed.
yeah, I haven't had any slowdown or lag at all on my 4th gen touch either... no restarting and even with a full multitasking bar... the game plays extremely smooth... =o/
Not sure if I'm just imagining things. I saved up some of my points to get an "extra life" to help with my general lack of abilities in this game. But it seems like there's a lot more monsters after I got it so I'm not doing any better Anyone else experience this after buying an extra life?
Getting an extra life was one of the first things I did... but I didn't notice a change in the amount of enemies after I got it... =o/
^^Probably just me making excuses for why I suck. Also, now that I'm getting up there in levels (L39) with more enemies, I also have noticed a bit of slowdown.
Even with an extra life you still have to be careful. You have to be familiar with the stage, so to time enemy patterns and to know the direction to reflexively jump to. It is going to be harder at first without perks than with them because the perks get you comfortable to the game's pacing, but you'll get the hang of it. Perks are only two points so you should be given Monster Hopper at first, so whenever you're a middle ledge with enemies pouring from atop on either side, you can safely wait in the middle till they get closer then safely jump on the last or 2nd to last enemy in the line.
Thanks. I just started using my points towards perks and they are helpful. Only have Monster Hopper and the Double Jump so far. Finding the Double Jump more useful for now.
