This isn't a high score game. In a high score game you are granted the same abilities as every other player with the only things separating you and your opponents being the skills needed to make the top score. Comparing Nimble Quest to a high score game would be like two people playing darts and the one that has played the longest gets 100x the darts as the person who just started. There's no level playing field without investing money and no where to really get to even if you invest money since that bypasses the only thing in the game you can really strive for which is unlocking new characters. Plasma Sword is a good example of a current modern high score game. Everyone starts with the same ship, same levels, same everything... best score set is the winner. Nimble Quest fakes it... and even at that the top 100 scores (and beyond that even) are all hacked anyway. So there's no way to legitimately compete for high scores in this game except for against friends and even at that one friend can buy his way to victory on gems despite having a much lower top score overall on kills.
If this is a high score game, I think I've completely misunderstood what a high score game is... Edit: For pretty much all the reasons nightc1 outlined in his ninja post... DBC
A high-score game is one in which you're trying to achieve and increase your personal high score. Worrying about comparing your scores with someone else doesn't have to be part of it, at all. Only a few out of many thousands of players are ever going to be anywhere near the top of a global leaderboard, anyway. Such things tend to be high on the list of concerns of people on forums like this one, but to the vast majority of players worrying about the people with the highest scores and whether they had exactly the same power-ups that you did, is just completely irrelevant.
ok I'll try it out TA2 for this one. TouchArcade2 is 13th, just added 163 kills. 10th score in guild is 60 only, hop in so we add another TA team in the overall top10 guilds and rack some more tokens And if you wanna see names near scores, add me Gc Vic Sark
Eh, I'm just not into playing with msyelf for high score. There's just not as much satisfaction in that.
Yet 99.9% of people who buy a game are never going to be #1 on the global leaderboard. If you make a game with that as your sole audience you're going to sell about six copies.
Yeah...the dangers of an addicting game that's addicting for the sake of being addicting. And before anyone says anything, I know I shouldn't use the same word thrice in a sentence
No, but there was a change in IAP pricing. Hero unlocks went from .99 to 1.99 and coins & gems from .99/4.99/19.99 to 1.99/9.99/29.99 (all USD)
Hmm...wait, I take what I was about to type back. I WAS going to say that I thought that required an update; then I remembered all of the iap sales and freebies in the past. Well, at least it takes an update TO MAKE something an iap in the first place. 1.99 for a character I haven't even tried? No thanks. I've only gotten to Forest 2, so I'll stick with Bomb Dude/Lil' Devil. At least most of the 3 star skills aren't very important, but then again, in a game in which life hangs on a millisecond...maybe they do come in handy.
True, but in the case of the friends list leaderboards it's cool when everyone starts off with the same stuff and only ability separates scores. Plasma Sword is a great example. Also, I hold some top spots out there on a few games. So there are still places where you can legitimately compete with te world.
I can confirm that Faenel's third-level root keeps enemies from attacking (demons that're rooted don't shoot out the fire wave, skeletons don't throw bones, etc.). That makes her a phenomenal lead character if you don't have Hydra unlocked yet, provided you can get her to level 3.
How is it even remotely possible for one person to obtain a high score of over 1.2 quintillion points?
Pretty sure the first 5 scores are hacks... Contemplating whether to buy the red gems... Have everyone at 2 stars - the last two people.. I think 5$ is a bit much
GameCenter has to trust the user's device to report their score. You can generally hack the app to report whatever score you want, if you jailbreak your device.
