Nah, any new iAP for $.99 (maybe bump the 20,000 down to $.99 and the following down a tier, while adding another top IAP with more currency) and a currency multiplier for $1.99. I think I've mentioned this before, but with how much you earn from each game, the IAP gives you pathetically little.
@Madgarden: I cant find the tornado fist. Did you mean the drillin' punch? Trying to find more invincible uppercuts! Thank you!
Agree on that. Just last night I went from 400 coins to 15,000 in a matter of rounds. I was like WTF, damn. xD
Hey ES, how does ultra happen? I had standard Ki Blast goin' on one second, the next the blasts were like 8 feet long.
Variety of ways, depending on what you've bought. One upgrade gives you an Ultra upon picking up a Power Up (the rainbow orbs in some levels) while already running a Super, or picking up Power Food while running a Super. Next one gives you one when at 1 heart of health left. Then there's 2 others which give you an ultra, first at a 90 hit combo, and secondly at a 60 hit combo. They're all labeled as 'Ultra ...' in the bottom right Lootarium shop section.
Heart shield - Am I wrong in thinking this is extremely broken? It seems like you must buy this every run in order to compete for a high score. Doubling your health seems like a huge advantage. So basically it's pointless to play for score unless you buy this, which is the equivalent of $.50 per game. I'm starting wonder if your only way to compete is to continuously buy stuff. I feel like all IAPs should be cosmetic or new content only. I would definitely buy. I hate when you're supposed to spend money to either save time or give yourself an advantage. Also what is up with the price of re rolls? Pretty absurd. Again paying way more money than it's worth just to get a small gain. I would've easily paid two dollars for this game instead of being milked for upwards of 20 like it looks like they intend. This is kind of like punishing the people who actually get really into your game. Ps Sorry if i sound like a douch ;-) In the end, your game is amazing but I really wish it was premium based and not IAP-based. Or, if it is free, just make us pay to unlock the full game. Don't drag it out. Let people buy $1 million worth of clothing or hats just don't make it necessary to pay for a leaderboard spot.
My score of ~250,000 put me in the top leaderboards without the power-up. Conversely, the one time I tried it out, I still died on ~120,000 which is what my average runs are. If you can't play well, the shields won't give you much of an advantage anyway, and there's an element of luck involved as well.
I highly doubt it. I don't think that with the way the game progresses the extra hearts make that much of a difference. Of course, they will help if someone's max score is only at a comparatively low ~70,000 and with the power-up they might crack that 100k mark, but at higher levels the health comes and goes very quickly anyway. I don't know, I REALLY like Laseraptor and the boss fights are fun to me. The Gnomey bee stages, not so much. I find them a lot harder to get good scores in.
Dislike the gnome stage. Raptor is more fun. I think bosses should give a lot more points and be slightly more difficult.
Bosses are fairly easy yes, only the skull can be troublesome. But that's only because of it spawning the 3 small skulls on getting a good hit on him, those tend to hit me at least once when I run into him. The other two not so much, if you make good use of blocks, hell, if you time your jumps correctly you can just continually stun lock the Cyclops without even the need for blocks.
grits, the heart shields really are not required for a high score. They are good for beginners who take a lot of hits in a short amount of time, but for players that take hits and then counter with a good combo and level up to regain hearts, it doesn't offer that much advantage. But go ahead and BUY LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM.
Toughest boss so far for me: Eyeball fist dude. Takes forever and I don't know his weak spot. Cyclops, punch to the eye and he's crying for his mommy. Makes me feel bad though. Skull guy is moderate. Uppercuts and face punches do well with him. I prefer raptor. Gnome and bees is kinda hard to handle. Is the gnome punching an egg stage? I don't remember but that was a lot fun. Not very common though. I've only gotten that once!
Eoghann, don't know the weakspot of the robot with the fragile glass-domed circuitry on top of his head? Yes, I guess I can understand that. The GNOME PARTY is a rare special secret.
Haha. You may be right. I didn't even know you could regain hearts. Is there some sort of in game instruction manual? Oh, and what does the ultra hat do (lvl 50 gnome).
I agree that the laser dinosaur egg is way better than the gnome one. The gnome is too slow when he first 'hatches' and it sort of ruins the pace for me. Still, AWESOME GAME! : )
