We're trying to make the second beta wave build today . A few people have not answered the confirmation email, so there's still a few spots left for those who register through Testflight
Awesome! Looking forward to leave some feedback. Im assuming bugs will be harder to find since its the second wave though
I did not bother asking a confirmation since you had just registered, I already added your device on the list . Sure, just apply through the testflight link!
The link works fine here (have not checked through a mobile device though). You can also pm me your email address associated with your testflight account and I'll send you an invite.
Hmm I just noticed that the first page link was not working any more, but the link on the previous page worked, perhaps that explains it (I just updated the first page link).
The first build of the second beta wave is now on the loose! We'll probably add a few more people for that wave and we'll also start building a new list for the final beta wave, so you can keep registering for the beta!
I have already found many small mistakes and things that you might want to change and I have not even started racing. These are all non gameplay related issues. For example the dialogue text is off centered inside the box. Also some of the dialogue is worded in a strange way. I don't know if that is the way the character is supposed to speak or just confusing word choice.
First Impressions: (Note: these are just first impressions, they can change within the upcoming days, and you guys might already be working on some of these tweaks) So I just wrapped up class C, and boy am I impressed . Solid controls, solid gameplay, short sessions, and overall just a fun experience so far. ----------------------------------------------- Just some things that, IMO, can use some tweaking: The dialogue HUD Negatives/suggestions: It just seems odd how the dialogue box flashes in and out when the next page of text comes up. I think it would look much better if the box just stayed there, and the next set of text would appear after tapping. Maybe even make it have the traditional type effect where it would type up the text as you read, or you can tap to make the text type out immediately. Also I think it would be best if you darkened the whole background, instead of just a third of the screen. At times it wouldn't look as if the dialogue box is layered ontop. The Sgt's dialogue can be a tad bit confusing Positives- I love the characters and how each person has their own personality. And the movie references are just hysterical. Menus Negatives/suggestions: When youre assigned to tap on a button, the button flashes in and out constantly. I would recommend having a border around it flash instead of having the whole button flash. At times I have no clue whats a button and whats not. All of the menu icons have the same border, its confusing. The "class events" menu has an odd T lay out. It would look much better if the class events menu had a swiping-page layout, and if the events were all on one page - vertical and horizontal from each other (eg angry birds, league of evil) Some of the buttons in the menu make extremely low vol noises When finishing a race, you have the options to shop (middle), retry (right), and finish (left). It would be more traditional if it were finish (right), retry (middle), shop (left). In the pause menu, it says Events Menu. Imo it should be changed to "Quit Race". I have no clue why I would want that though.... Lol In the shop, you tap an upgrade to view its stats/currency requirements. Thats fine, what I had a little problem with was finding out how to view the boat's stats. Apparently I had to re-tap the upgrade lol. I'd say to make the boat's icon tappable, and that should be the button to push to view the boat's stats. Positives: Great art!!! Great loading. No hiccups. Its almost perfect. Gameplay Negatives/suggestions: In the tutorial it was showing how to shoot and accelerate. Instead of showing the buttons, I believe it would look better like this I'm no artist lol, I'm sure you guys can handle it much better No countdown in a racer?? Whaaaaa??? Again, I only finished class C so I maybe wrong here. I would like to see more routes. Such as maybe there would be a whirlpool that sucks you underwater, making you ride some currents, and at some point it'll shoot you back up. It'll probably be hard to balance though heheh Positives: Wow. ----------------------------------------------- Told you I could be annoying when it comes to testing Looking forward to leave more feedback as I progress further
Hard to tell, there's a lot of quotes. I'd have to email you the dialogues if you'd like to pin-point things. Lot's of useful comments! I'll email you on specific points if needed.
That would be great. I also took screenshots of things that I thought were off. Like right after you complete the breaking tutorial the Sgt. says dialogue that overlaps a window of your level results. I thinks after you finish the dialogue of that part the level results should appear.
