This is a super sweet little arcade game! love the look and feel of it. I too am experiencing some nasty stutters on my Ipad2 though. Haven't tried it on the iphone 5 or Ipad Mini yet... Well worth the 99 cents!
Fantastic game. Spot on controls, per pixel hitboxes, and a sprinkle of magic. Oh, and with the first car on the first level I did nothing but circle the 'mall' sign and got 39 seconds... lol Anyone who doesn't buy this isn't a gamer. Minimalist hardcore at its finest.
So...this game is extremelly fun Devs, I've noticed a bug with the Game Center which you may be aware of already, but I'll still say it. In the game, I got this score However, when I look at Game Center, I see this It's flattering, but it's setting some unnessecarily expectations when it comes to high-score chasing
Thank you and the TouchArcade crew! We are very honored as we are fans of the TouchArcade! And about the Game Center bugs, we know that there are few ones which didn't show up while doing sandbox testing. We are working on those and hopefully get an update out soon. Well today and tomorrow were having almost a day off from work as one of us is having his wedding bash.
lol. Practice my friend practice... Where are you on the leaderboards? That's the question you always need to ask in a game like this. If the top dogs on the leaderboard are running 4 or 5 minutes while you can only go for 50 seconds (like myself) then you''ve got work to do.
Not really as we haven't released for Android before, but its next on our list after fixing current iOS bugs.
Loving it. Haven't gotten more than 30 seconds on any level yet but, but I'm pushing! The vehicles in each level vary enough in control (handling, speed, acceleration) to make them feel different and challenging to master, but at the same time similar enough that it's not frustrating. Yet another game I'll fall in love with and probably never reach top 10 in the leaderboards
Enjoying this. Drifting cars, good music, cops in pursuit and a video tape in the settings screen - sweet. "I've got 5 minutes free, might play 10 games of Pako"
By video tape in the setting screen, you are referring literally to the throwback aesthetic of the VCR tapes, correct? For a sec I thought u meant an option to record and got excited, but I only have sfx and music volume adjustment...?
Yeah, I was referring to the VCR tape graphic in the background on the settings screen. Sorry to get you excited! I just smiled to see the old-school reference. If you want to record your screen, check out Reflector, then you can record all of your games. It costs about US$10, but has a free trial available, that lasts a few days. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ Pako is a good game to record, to show off your better attempts or crazy driving.
Love the game. What's going on with the Game Center high scores though? Just got record time of 1 min 45 (mall level) but showing on GC as 2 min 25.
Awesome game, but I'm getting the hiccups too, on my iPad 4. As soon as I hit ~20 seconds in a run, the game basically freezes for half a second, maybe a whole second, and then maybe every 10 or 15 seconds after that. Surprised you guys didn't encounter and fix this in testing with it happening on such a wide range of devices. I'd guess your game engine is doing way too much dynamic memory allocation and Unity has to clean up after it periodically. This is the second GOTW that I've bought that had pretty major & obvious technical flaws (Dawn of the Plow, a similar game in a few ways, had pretty big control problems that were finally just fixed). Anyway, I'm looking forward to the update.
