No crashes for me, yup, that boss is friggin tough! I know that you can use the "dash" button, but also there are a lot of health (green) orbs. Still no luck for me. iPhone 7 plus 10.3
Just crashed on me during the squid fight also. It was my first time fighting him. I wonder if its crashing when you die. iOS 10.3 iPhone 6+
Question Hi; Thanks for all your feedback. We are preparing the update 1.0.2 and want to address all your comments. - The issue with the Boss 'Squid' : we are looking at it, if the person have allowed to send diagnostics report for developer, we could check with the crash log (so far, we did'nt reproduce it). - About the IAP, there are not required to play : just to unlock all the character. We found that reaching 50,000 CR is quite easy, also there are upgrade to grind more. Please note that the Apple TV version is out (version 1.0.1, which have some other improvements). So far we are working for deliver the 1.0.2 with all your comments. Don't hesitate to ask, also we reply on Reddit as well. Cheers! Mod edit: Please only post promo codes in the proper section: http://forums.toucharcade.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22
I'm about an hour in and the game isn't bad. Not as good as i thought it would be. Not a fan of the graphics. A lot of it looks choppy and cut and paste. The game has potential to look visually stunning with everything going on but I think it falls short. The controls are good once the sensitivity is set to high. I know it's not very traditional for a twin stick shooter but I think having a close range attack like with a sword would be a cool addition since some enemies just quickly fly right into you. The mech can't turn or move fast enough to really hit them so a melee button would be nice! Otherwise it's just guaranteed damage taken.
So.... iap for in game currency that allows you to buy continues but it's a score chaser twin stick shooter roguelike. Wtf? Who decided that? The graphics.... well I don't get motion sickness from VR, intense FpS or flying sims. This had me putting to the game down after a few mins because I got queasy when playing in a room with the lights on. Those particle effects in the background feel like they are messing with my motion and sucking up processing power. It doesn't even give a 3D feel.... it just looks off. Not to mention the style just feels off of the rest of the assets. I like the lack of instructions and the controls feel proper. But I have had two crashes so far, one at the squid boss and one the following level. I quit at the boss that shot a ton of lasers out the the front and looked like it had crab claws because I realized the semi auto aim was more frustrating that helpful. Some people may like this game. But I am not going to be one of them. I have no desire to pick it back up. The gameplay is more less, avoid orange globes while picking up blue green and yellow ones - sometimes big enemies shot big lasers, don't run into them. Sorry to be so negative.
Just a few minutes ago i activated the analyses protocol for Apple/Devs and played the game. Same crash at the same spot (iphone 7, 10.3). After restarting the app, i fought the squid again and won with very low health. No chance in the next stage, immediate death. The "Accel" button lets you dash a few times, depending on how full the gauge bar is, needs shorts pushes only. A long push activates the special weapon and depletes the bar completely. To finish the game (if ever) will take me quite some time. Is there a "choose mission/stage" option to exercise once the game is beaten ? Again, i'm glad that i bought the game, but it really feels a bit rushed and not tested too much. I dare to say that time, money, intention of how you wanted your game to be played...and *cough cough* maybe a bit missing talent in the developing department/final QA made this pearl (that it could be, still) as it is now, not totally completed, sorry. The last love for a proper name under the icon (Quantum R...) shows that, too. Nitpicking stuff, i know. BUT the fact that you, the Devs, are here, shows me that you care for our opinions. Thank you very much and good luck! The picture shows the way too clustered UI and colored buttons. As super hectic this game gets, a proper clean screen could help a big bit to concentrate on and to find my character again. And with relative touch controls...i only would repeat myself what i wrote in the upcoming thread, with no response.
Good game and pretty fun but it feels a bit sad between fights, I thought there were gonna be some kind of story or menu in between bosses and the next level. Or am I missing something?
Oh boy, it's so nice to have unlimited time to game again...for three days lol... I care about your game, so here is my next crash-log, sorry I survived the squid with no crash, hurray! Maybe because i used the super weapon in the middle of the squid's second health bar? Who knows. But now it crashed on the super-many-laser-boss in stage 2, wave 4. Unfortunately, i already disabled the diagnostics report for Devs. Now i will enable it, delete and re-dl the game again. And fyi, any re-boot of my iphone (3 times) didn't help in my first few games/crashes. In your app description it says "5 missions with 2 bosses each". That does mean "5 stages", right? How many waves in total? Edit: i fear you're not missing out on the story, djstout. Unfortunately.
So a long press on "Accel" activates a super weapon? I'm not one to care about learning as you go but that's really counter intuitive. Maybe there does need to be a short tutorial.
Thanks to icloud i have a full restored game after the re-download...but the crashes keep going on, pity. Guess i put it on hold until a hopefully top (and quick) update drops. The following lines tell me that you'll have lots of work to do! I didn't realize that i unlocked the last mech by picking up the parts for it while playing. He has much more power and the level gauge seems never fall back to a weak level 1. I managed to reach stage 3 for the first time...and now the game crashes ALWAYS after a minute or so. Also, when restarting the app and continuing from stage 3, the score doesn't fall back and accumulates with every new restart PS: if this is an introduction price ($2.99 USD low price launch), i wouldn't rais it until you solved the crashes. The ratings would hurt you.
The game sounds interesting. I love dual stick shooters as well as mecha type games so let's do this! I'll see if it crashes for me if I make it to the squid thing everyone seems to have problems at. I'm using the iPhone 6s+ with 10.3 so let's see what happens. Billy
Let me know Billy I have the same setup and I want this one Also let me know if it's procedural each time you play or just same each time thanks!
DEVS This game has a lot going for it. It can be up there with Neon Chrome, Dual of Fates, and Geometry Wars. Some things hold it back, however: 1: I too experienced the crash in the fight against the octopuss. 2: Desperately needs a power saving option, as it depleted my battery very quickly and heated up my phone (this is hugely important to me and many others). I'm on an iPhone 6 with the latest operating system. Just tried playing again but crashes at octopuss fight. Unplayable...can't go beyond. Please update, devs!
Is the bug reporting tab in the settings under game center? I have that turned on and I've been playing the game trying to get past the squid boss and it keeps crashing. Hopefully you guys are able to pull those reports. I'm all set to buy the coins to unlock the other characters. Please, please gives us a crash fix! Squid is obviously as far as I can progress in the game but other then the crashes I have not had any issues. The controls are smooth, graphics are great and I haven't experienced any over heating but it does use a bit of battery. Just played a little with my Nimbus controller and boy I can't wait to play this on the Apple TV. I plan to pick one up in the next week or so but this game is making hard to wait.
