In a weird way, that's good to hear, because it has been pretty tricky! I stayed up late last night and got iCade to connect in release and not crash. I still have a bit of an issue where the iCade doesn't work right when the game launches, but if the game loses and regains focus it starts working. So, if I hit the home button and then click the app again or if I hit the power button on the phone, the iCade will work. Have you seen that with other games? Sure, send me a message and let me know what you found. I don't think I'll add that, but I agree it's cool. I don't know what level people are getting to, I wish Gamecenter would let me track that information. There is no hard cap on how far you can go, but obviously you'll run out of time eventually and there must be a realistic cap. You guys know what that is better than me! I'm glad using bombs is a more viable tactic now! Using your shield to ram through to high priority targets is really important in survival too. Working on my mac last night I kept hitting the End key to go to the end of the line, but it would drop me to the bottom of the page. I'd curse at the screen, scroll back up, and then do the same thing again. I don't think my fingers can handle multiple operating systems, even if I learned the language.
Once again, awesome game. With the latest update, I've been having some random crashes in Conquest mode. Seems to happen every 4 or 5 games with no rhyme or reason that I can detect. I'm playing on a 4S running the latest iOS. Just thought I should report. Keep up the great work!
It's amazing how I keep coming back to this game. I still need to finish off the achievement for Hardcore mode, but I'm hooked. I can't praise this work enough... I look forward to seeing what's next.
Yes, dotemu, used to have this problem in games like blazing star, metal slug 3 and some of the others, where when we started the game, us icade users would have to exit the app by home button and return and the icade would work fine. Most games don't do this, and I think dotemu's current game metal slug x doesn't do this anymore, so I don't know what the exact issue is, but exiting the app seemed like it worked to reset and get icade working. I will pm both you and dotemu to inquire about it a little, but he doesn't come online too often, though he has been nice to us. Maybe selachii might know, but two developers that I know foxbat from Danmaku 2, and nburcombe from Tabletop racing might know this answer. They have all been kind to me, so I will initiate a pm asking if they can be of any quick assistance to us. Icade controls work super wonderfully in Danmaku 2, Phoenix hd, and Tabletop racing, without exiting the app, but it maybe dependant on which development tools are being used. Anyway, let us inquire, hope it helps, pm will be sent out now.
Woah! The heat is on, nice scores everyone Volbard - Fairly sure everyone here's highest lvl in survival is 35. It seems impossible to surpass that lvl. As for the exploit, im curious to if there IS something past lvl 35, i'll do some testing today and if it breaks survival then ill let you know Interesting you say shield through high priority targets, care to elaborate? I should have kept my tactics a secret
Thanks Guise! Do you think the crashes happen when you get a ton of power-ups all at once? I'll see if I can track that down. Thanks, that's great to hear! Great information, thanks! If any of those devs have a tip about how to trick it into working right off that would be rad. I've got ship control working. It's pretty cool, but I think it will be harder to play than using your finger, just because of the digital nature. I'll make the speed adjustable, but you'll always move at that chosen speed, and it's a balance between fine control and getting around quickly. I'll ask you experienced iCade folks to try it out once I've done some more tuning.
Hi Connector, erm I'm not entirely sure what the problem is you're having - are yuo saying that certain games are losing BT connection to iCade when you go in and out of the game from multitasking/home button. TTR not being one of them. I wonder if it's an older IOS version that's the issue. If people are having this problem can you identify if it's an iOS 5 issue. We've not seen it I don't think, but happy to hear any tales. Wouldn't want it to be a repeatable bug that can be resolved. If we can get it to happen and can solve it - we'll share the solution with you guys so that you can pass it on to other devs. Excuse me if Ive got the wrong end of the stick on this one - im pretty tired at the moment. Nick
Volbard, this is one of our friendly developers of Tabletop racing, he has been very kind in implementing a lot of things into his game, and was one of the dev who I kindly asked for any assistance for you. Maybe you can pm him directly any questions you may have about icade, cause his game has wonderful icade support, though, he does not use marmalade I think. Nburcombie, thanks for any little assistance. And I would like to make a shoutout to a great racing game, which is on sale right now for 99 cents! Tabletop racing is a wonderful game, icade or not. Thanks for being such a cool developer always.
Alright, im convinced that lvl35 is the best lvl anyone could possibly achieve =P Even with the trick, I cant get past it. I thought it was a matter of just surviving longer, but it does not help, as where you normally die once you hit 34/35 is where you die even if you have more time =/ So I'd say.. maybe there are 40 lvls in total to clear within the time limit? There HAS to be a near perfect score then =/ And when I try and use the trick for a high score, I always fall about 3/4 lvls short then when I dont use it... I dont get it
Alright, who is AndyC83? That score is highly suspect. If it is legit, I would love to know what he is doing.
Holy hell 3.7 mil Me too, I have no idea how you could get that high of a score What lvl did you get up to AndyC83?
He's a reg on here and one of my GC friends. He's a real gamer and is usually amongst the top competition I face in games along with SyntheticVoid and SinkOrSwim. All three of those people are in the 140,000 range worth of GC points and as far as I can tell, all earned legitly.
Ha well you had us in your sights AND sniped us T_T Please tell me how, its killing me! ** Okay after AndyC83's high score... I decided to dig deeper into the glitch I found.. Turns out, it IS possible to get past lvl35.. I was about 1 sec off from getting the extra time ship! Hats off to AndyC83 if he did this while still not losing his multiplier as it is hard but not impossible
I have definitely found a cheat to get a little extra time. Still, I don't see how AndyC83 is able to achieve that score. I have done literally everything I know and I don't see myself as breaking the 3 million mark. Hats off to that score if it's legit.
SumoSplash - I dare say he found it also (which im sure youre talking about what im talking about). If he used the cheat, then proceeded to get every other time ship as soon as possible while maintaining his multiplier, I think that's how he got that score.. As I really cant see how else he could get 3.7 mil. I think it is possible to JUST break 3 mil since I was so close, but to smash it by an extra 700k... no way!
I'll post this since it doesn't seem to be a cheat as much as luck - on the last wave before it loops I once got a slow time drop and during the slowed time an extra time drop came (I'm guessing that why the extra time drop came) so my guess is that he got this drop more than once during his game also I think there's a way to get another extra time but I've never pulled it off
