I have literally only had an ad pop up 3 times the entire time I have played so far. And I am almost to the point of unlocking ice world so I play quite a bit. I just think people are so overly sensitive to things like this. I actually forgot it had ads since It was such a long time between pop ups.
I actually have unlocked ice world, and between ranks 9 to 15 I experienced an ad almost every time I went into customization or actually changed to a different screen(not just hit play again). Until rank 9(all of my plays on release day) I didn't encounter a single ad, but yesterday I was bombarded. The problem isn't the ads, but rather that even after paying the ads won't be removed. If the game had been a dollar or two, it wouldn't have had ads. By paying for a song or two, the ads may as well be removed. The ads make the screen transitions feel rough and just take away from the otherwise smooth experience of playing the game. This is all a personal opinion, of course, but I would have already bought a couple songs if it weren't for the fact I would continue being plagued by ads. Edit: And for people that haven't seen me post before, I don't have an issue with paying proper prices for apps. I'm a supporter of assigning proper prices to games instead of crippling a perfectly good game to integrate IAP x.x I think this game is fine in terms of progress and IAP integration, I just dislike the fact that ads cannot be removed which will forever make the experience feel cheapened to me.
Yeah, well... turns out there are a lot of teenage wannabe posers on iOS these days I get about three per session, which would make it around 12 over the four times I've picked the game up and had a go.
For what it's worth, I'm rank 9 and I'm seeing them a lot - pretty much the same as Seil, changing screens I get them pretty often. They don't impede actual gameplay, just a bit bothersome, but I'd definitely pay to be rid of them completely (and support the game). Unrelated, but hopefully you guys can help: I'm stuck with the "reach a score multiplier of 3x within a single wish" goal. I know the hoops act as multipliers, but I've never gotten past 2x. What's the key to it?
This game is great but gets practically unplayable once I hit max speed. The frame rate gets so choppy and the game slows down a bit once I get there. A quality setting would be a great add for those playing on older devices. Oh and you can forget about using wings, that is literally unplayable for me. Playing on a iPhone 4 btw
The multiplier goes up when you go through a hoop and resets when you touch the ground. To get to 3x, you just have to jump through two hoops without touching the ground. Make use of your multiple jumps and dashes(or flying, of course) and you should be good to go.
Maximum multiplier is 9x. That affects the regular ticking of points while running as well as dashing through stars and whatever. You can do a triple jump (or more depending on your upgrades), dash, then use all your jumps again and repeat for a number of times to maintain the bonus if you don't have flight yet.
I have noticed that they seem to only occur when going around in the menus. Like customizations, I rarely do anything but play over and over so since I don't go into any of the menus often that may be what's causing me to not see them much.
Really wish this was playable on the 4th gen touch. Loved the first one and what I have been able to play of this has been great but the stutter and slowdown make it impossible to play
Been playing this today and i have to say, this has me well-immersed in it. Great graphics, good soundtrack (bought Slade's Run Run Away coz i think it makes for a pretty good pace for this game), great customizability in looks and stats, and it has the Adult Swim charm that every Adult Swim game has, and the silliness that you can choose to go with in it. Im about to buy the doubler ($5 is a bit steep, but i think it's worth it coz this game is top-notch in terms of polish), and i wish more games come from Adult Swim.
It's laggy at high speed on my iPhone 4 too, it's much better on my iPad 2. I meant crash as in crash into something. I didn't get the daily goal today last time I was playing it said "20 mins to new daily goal", now it says "12 hours to new daily goal". That's a bit irritating.
Midday yesterday it said 8 hours for me, then when I played later that night it had switched to 23 hours.
Next time he feels like wasting his money, give me an account with 200 bucks on it and I'll send him back a carefully curated collection with 100% certified organic artisanal free-range games.
That's the thing about iOS. Imagine how many awesome games you could get for $200 or even $20. That's why I don't get all this IAP madness. A simple runner like this, as well-made as it is only worth five dollars. Spending 15 or 20 bucks doesn't make sense. Why should they deserve that when games like braid, limbo and Fez are only 15 or 20 bucks?
I think one of my TA buddies had his twitter feed hijacked by this game. It kept spamming the same score over and over. My phone was PLUGGED IN and the battery drained 15%, because I have Twitter notifications turned on for him. I had to turn off Twitter notifications on my phone. Let this be a word of warning to anyone thinking of hitting that "tweet" button. It worked fine the times I did it; maybe it had to do with the cloent or the version of the client, either way, it drove me nuts.
Lol , he could have bought a ps3 or Xbox for that amount . Oh and call me Benedict , I've switched to the dark side Oh and what's with all the negative nelly messages - despair will claim you , lol . Also I just flew for the first time , It took forever to get to top speed and then it displayed a message 'you can now fly' unfortunately I got excited and proceeded to fly right into the side of a rock . But at least I know I can now
