    Great southern land
    Loving the game. Predator is my weapon of choice at the moment.

    Another bug report. I just got stuck in a location where my character could not move no matter what I tried to do. Here is a screenshot of the location.

    Hi, the version currently in testing and in review should fix this eventually!

    This happened when players on high Overseer levels used the knockback increasing enhancement ChipHow Weapon Master (not completely necessary though). You actually have hammered the floating hover tank down a bit with your bullets and eventually the bullets start flying over it :)

    Yes, and I quite like Leap of Fate! Very unique style and weapons in that one. This game feels similar, but with run of the mill weapons.

    Maybe it's because I'm on iPhone but everything feels rather unsatisfying to use. And most of my deaths feel like they're from my character being a chore to move, rather than a lack of skill. Perhaps I'll give it another shot on Xbox somewhere down the line

    @10TonsLtd for future updates, please think about giving the option of a separate action (melee) button. I sometimes get killed because I try to kill an enemy with melee just to find that there's a hacker-only box next to the enemy and the game believes I want to open the box instead of attack the enemy. Since I'm no hacker usually, I smash the screen over and over and get killed...

    You could put the button in the position of the reload button, giving the option "reload/action/none". Just an idea. :)

    I think I also suggested having the melee and special ability buttons be able to aim like their own little stick, ala Monster Hunter and quite a few DSS's. I have a habit of offloading the special into a wall right next to me because the aim's off. I also think the reload button should be mandatory at the start, with an option to switch it off (reloading's never an afterthought in a game like this).

    I just got stuck again in that same safe neighborhood bonus level. I think it's a result of the mixed thin and thick walls the rooms there have as well as the strange way that the last remaining nub of a wall is really difficult to break and requires you to attack from its edge while being invincible from the side. It also seems that the game will not allow you to fire weapons at point blank range as I was only able to fire rockets away from the wall while the button had no effect while facing the wall. I have a screenshot but I don't think it's worth posting since it looks exactly like the last one except in a different location.

    I'm sorry for that "spoiler". ## My bad TA. I corrected it.

    Being invite as next update version tester.

    Just use my iPhone 6S Plus with iOS v9.3.5 to play the game. I select high presets in display option and even try with/without post processing filter, and turn on 30fps lock and battery saving mode.

    The device has no any overheat problem more.
    It seems that 30fps lock and battery saving mode work well. Well done for this update!

    The update is currently waiting for review. We're also testing it in beta ourselves. We'll let you know once we are close to pressing release.

    If I delete this game and download again in the future or on a new device will I be able to carry on my progress?

    Played the "retro" secret level today, that was pretty cool! Was bummed out I couldn't find like a secret 1-up or something though haha.

    Also played a level that had the homes of some of the enemies or something? You could knock the power out and sneak about as an assassin stealing everything while avoiding the enemy swarms, that was cool too.

    I thought the release depended on Apple. Anyway, we'll keep on waiting then.

    It depends on: a) Update approved by Apple b) We trust the update enough to release - 30fps mode required fundamental changes :)

    Currently the update is still waiting for Apple review (so not approved yet) - I guess they're a bit busy ATM. Thank you for your patience!

    Hope it will arrive too... It's really sad that iCloud seems complicated to implement, I thought it was just a "brick" you put in your game, tell it where the saves are located, and boom, here you go, but when I see the number of games that don't support it, maybe it's not as easy as I think. :D

    Yep, had that too. And you can't even drag the tank to the turret because then even their bullets just start missing the tank. I had to disconnect that run.

    So what's the max Overseer level? I just unlocked 10 yesterday.

    Some balancing feedback: some things don't scale.
    Some abilities do 1-3 damage. That works well at low levels, but at high levels, it's just not worth the effort anymore. Same for the zapping power or the incindiary bullets.
    I always end up using the Predator or the space gun.

    Crit heals or the vampire nanites are a waste too, as it doesn't make a difference when you have 1550 or 1549 HP when being hit with a rocket that deals 150 damage.

    When I went through overseer 7.0 a few days ago, I had to fight that boss probably a dozen times. I kept hitting the bug. I started taking whatever weapon was in the crate at the start hoping it would get less knockback. I finally got past him with an ion assault rifle.

    I totally agree, especially on the healing enhancements (crit heal and heal per kill). They are totally useless after the very early game. The weapons seem somewhat imbalanced as well but I still think any could be used effectively though they would add more challenge. I just got the space pistol (finally have all secret weapons unlocked) and I like it so far. The predator is also very good though I personally find the heavy rifle to be the best overall weapon. As for the other weapons, in my experience it goes assault rifles>burst rifles>shotguns>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SMGs. I don't even bother with explosives (as weapons, I do favor rockets as an ability). They just seem to be way too dangerous and not worth it from a risk/reward perspective. The two secret weapons that have not been mentioned here seem completely useless though it's possible I just haven't figured out how to make them work.

    My weapon preferences go:
    Assault rifle, burst, SMG, shotgun.
    Heavy rifle is good, was one of my Favs for a long time until I got the predator or the laser.

    Crit Heal is useless too. That one point of heals is not gonna make a huge difference when you have 1500 HP.
    The energy 2 HP is still somewhat useful in combination with the energy booster powerup, is it heals you about 10 HP/sec for its duration.

    I tried various weapon combos including a grenade built with the Antioch or fire grenade.
    The former just annihilated everything to a point where you destroy your loot.

    I don't buy the knock back power up ability anymore. No point. I prefer stuff that boosts my HP, DPS or speed.
    Best ones are:
    50% extra health
    35% HP at level end
    First bullet deals massive damage
    20% damage reduction
    Deflection for energy
    20% faster fire rate
    30% more boss damage (but can do without)
    50% More ammo and 100% faster reload
    Or 100% more Ammo

    These are my picks. Melee is useless when you have rockets coming your way.
    With my default built I took down overseer V9.0.
    Haven't started on 10 yet.
