If it is also for offline, this doesn't work. Where you press the reindeer, it opens whatever is behind it, or build screen if nothing there. Also, when might the fix be in for hearts selecting 2 new clones in a residence?? Has happened four times in the last few days and very annoying to have to close the app to fix!!
1. double tap the reindeer icon. does that help? 2. as with all taps in this game, since the dawn of utopia, the target area for a building, is its rectangular (rhomboid) base 3. are you saying the game didn't save the fact that you had collected 2 hearts before quitting?
Money troubles Hello. Anyone else had their money total replaced with "1b"? Am not sure if I am making money or not!
Double tapping doesn't always work for me, but your suggestion to tap on the reindeer icon after the "wrong" dialog has opened works all the time for me. HOWEVER. The reindeer games is next to useless on my apparently obsolete iPod Touch 4G. I also have a second game going on my wife's iPad 3, so it's easy to compare the game experience on the two different devices. When I visit my city from her game, I never have a problem hitting 50 grumps in 60 seconds. All my houses are bunched together, so it's not difficult to reach the target. But when I try to complete the minigame on my own city, it's impossible. The excessive "lag" prevalent throughout the user interface on the iPod 4G is a huge problem for the minigame. Despite furious amounts of tapping, I can naver get more than about 20 grumps in the minute. They are slow to appear and don't always register when hit. (Or perhaps both a grump +1 and Santa -1 register, for a net of zero...?) So my strategy for my iPod game was to do all the work on the iPad game, and then gift reindeer from one device to the other. That seemed to work ok until I had another iPod problem today. Upon accepting the gifts at the pet store, the message came up that the mailbox was refreshing, and then a hard crash. Upon restarting the app, I see that the gift is no longer in the mailbox, but the reindeer was not received either. This happened twice in sucession. Poor Cupid and Vixen, lost in the ether... I've come to the conclusion that it will be next to impossible for me to get the stupid Christmas gene on my iPod game. I can't visit any other cities (always crashes), I can't play the reindeer game in my own city, I can't receive gifts from my other game, and I can't get all the reindeer from Santa (all I ever get is Dancer, 100% of the time).
I can't complete the Dear Santa quest - I have all 9 reindeers, but when I click complete on the quest I get a pop up saying something about holiday cheer and changing weather conditions and then the game crashes. The first time it happened I also lost the 9th reindeer that I just got and have to play some more minigames until I was able to get him again
Yeah, I can't complete the Dear Santa mission. It says I unlocked the gene and then it does the loading thing "Manipulating Weather" and my game crashes every time. I'm playing on an Ipad 2.
Still losing time on Brace Yourself when visiting other Utopias, but since I can pay for it in 1 heart increments, I don't feel so bad. Tomorrow I will try to see if other timers are affected by inter-Utopia travel.
Saw the new update. Still no fix to the Halloween ghost time so the dark tower can be built. Any updates lamb?
I was wondering about the grump mini game until I read the post about the slower device. Figured I was doing something wrong, while I know my houses are spread way out apart (and I hate to change my layout for this one game), I still have yet to break 12-15 grumps in 60 seconds. And that's going as fast as I possibly can on the device. I was shocked to notice on day 2 that my progress on day one didn't save and you have to get them all at once! Sadly I won't be getting those presents with how it currently works. Good news is that I've seen Santa every time with the new update.
Add me to the list of people who have had problems completing the mission. Last reindeer was Donner and got him twice, both times I tried to complete the mission it hangs and crashes. When I come back... no Donner. Very frustrating to hop around towns to do the game more times hoping for another Donner.
Add me to that list of unable to complete the mission as well. Every time, try to complete, get the "manipulating weather" message and then crashes. Still have all 9 reindeer fortunately.
I was able to get Dasher from playing the mini game, but I'm still ONLY getting Dancer from tapping on Santa (playing offline - iPhone 4, iOS 7). http://imgur.com/KpdNVoq
Same thing for me. I was worried I'd lose the one I had just gotten to complete the mission, but luckily I still have them all. I only tried to complete it one time, though. Still worried I might lose one or more of them if it glitches.
Well I am playing offline, so maybe that might be why I didn't lose one. But have done everything possible (close app, turn off iPad and restart) barring deleting the app and nothing appears to work for getting around the mission crash. And we only have about 1 more week before the App Store closes for the holidays, so hopefully this gets fixed before that time!!
I finally got my last reindeer on my iPod 4G game (actually got it in another game and was able to gift it to myself without crashing) but as I feared from reading some of the recent comments, I was also hit by the "cannot complete mission without crashing" bug. You know, I have enjoyed this game since release, but every incremental update has been buggier and buggier. I have to ask (somewhat rhetorically) if LambdaMy actually do any serious QA testing... Or maybe they just test on the newest iPad and think that's enough?
I play offline as well. I refuse to add people I don't know IRL to facebook just to 'play' a game. Hopefully it gets sorted out before the freeze!
I also think our cities are way too big after a year of playing, and the game may not be optimized for huge cities on (relatively) older devices. I'd exchange most of the animations for a better performance. Maybe Lambdamu should incite us to downsize with old decor/buildings recycling. And offer some new tools for reorganizing them more easily. I've not played in a while, and tried the new update. I was pretty bummed that the new mission is not U but IAP unlockable. The inflation was inevitable, and addressed partially by mU, but U feels pretty worthless now And don't get me started on the FB integration lol (my guess is Chillingo is pushing it). Game Center exist for exactly this reason! At least this was updated a bit for us non teenage FB spammers Well, it's been a very good ride, but imho this is beginning to feel a bit like overarching. I sincerely hope interesting updates come next, but maybe it's the time to focus on developing a new game for Lambdamu (while continuing to casually milk PP )
Few Questions 1. how can you change your coin currency to CPS rate like in this screenshot: 2. how much is the coins cap, i remembered that it was around 2billion, and with the update it has increased. 3. why are you so awesome pixel people
