Apple can be so unbelievably cool sometimes. If they like the work you're doing they make a real effort to be helpful. That's my experience.
Been playing the IOS version for a few attempts and it feels more natural to control here than on PC. Swipe to move, tap the cast button to use an ability, tap and hold on a power-up to see its function. Some abilities behave a bit differently. The visuals look more polished and cleaner on IOS. The gameplay is as fun and challenging as ever; haven't tried the arena mode yet. If you enjoyed Amber Halls and wanted a game where you felt more in control and had more options, less like a puzzle and more strategic, than I highly recommend Power Grounds.
Yes, when I submitted the expedited review request I had no hopes. I though that thing was only for EA and other big publishers.
Can't find it yet man. Is it going to release at 11 in the US then? What continent do you inhabit Bronxsta?
Jealous! I can't wait, I've been playing amber halls all day to prep. Finally got to the ninth floor... I kinda suck at it haha.
Some here say I don't like old school graphics, but this one definitely has a cute look, cool simple style from those screenshots. Reading the comments in this thread, and they look good so far.
Honestly it's not that hard. Well building an audience is hard, but the actual writing, if you're writing about something you enjoy and are passionate about, that's easier. I mean, I started out of frustration that some great IOS games weren't getting covered anyway (And Line Bound still hasn't been reviewed by TA or Pocker Gamer or any site...sigh, totally underrated and overlooked). Just start with the games you have, and then gradually branch out to asking developers for games you don't. I've learned that developers, especially indie developers, appreciate someone being interested in their work and will happily let you cover their games.
Okay, I'll give it a shot! Haha but honestly, I like writing about games too. Remember that thread that got shut down? Interacting with indie devs is one of the coolest things ever to me, so yeah, if I do ever get the time to start something like this, I definitely will
The sword and brown shield seem to be okay so far as a combo. I haven't gotten it down yet... Keep making it to six and getting creamed
Beating the game is actually not very hard (as opposed to Amber Halls). The real challenge comes from going for a high score and getting all the achievements.
That's what I noticed. In AH, progressing a room or two was tough. Here, I've reached Room 6 (beating it is a different story) Arena is the real challenge. Can barely make it past Wave 2
Yeah, Arena is a lot more competitive because it is endless. It's hard to get far when you first play, but after some practice you will be hitting wave 6 or 8 pretty often. My record was, iirc, wave 12. My brother has reached wave 15 a couple of times.
