    So I have two important questions for the devs.

    1) When will these new changes happen?

    2) I went back and played the original game and the metal version. I hadn't played them in a long time. Both of them are not 64 bit. I get the message that the apps needs an update. Both of them. Please tell me you are going to update the original Rainbow Unicorn Attack and The Rainbow Unicorn Attack Metal version?? We cannot lose them. They are awesome games. Actually I played the metal version for over an hour straight. I love that music. The originals are always the best. Please we cannot lose those games.

    New Events

    New events are up, I guess the Event re-balance didn't go into effect yet. Between the two Events there is a total of 21 SCs, 10 BTs and a crap load of TSc. =/

    Awesome discussion guys, and it's great to hear so much enjoyment for the game. The good news is it only gets better!

    No plans right now, but a number of people have asked about this!

    Correct - that's a know bugga in the code... That'll be fixed in the next update.

    We've tweaked Raids, so we'll have new values in the next update. Raids will now be more likely to award high value currency like Soul Crystals and Bot Tokens in higher-tier chests, so overall you'll also get fewer Tear Stones, which currently tend to be overweighted as you progress

    The geometry of the platforms does make the gameplay different between worlds, but in general the patterns are the same. We'll continue to tweak player controls and collision to make sure it's as stable as possible.

    I can't say officially when the next update will go live, but it shouldn't be too long, and it has a lot of stability and quality of life improvements. As for Events, the balance change is subtle but overall going forward all Events will have more attainable goals, making the rewards easier to collect. You can see this is the current events, and we'll keep listening to feedback there.

    Some kind of "Challenge" mode with endless acceleration would be pretty cool to try! As for the Radiant forge, the next update will have a big balance change that makes it much more likely to pull Legendary and Radiant unicorns.

    Which changes specifically? The next update has balance fixes for Radiant Forge and Raids, as well as a number of performance and stability fixes. I can't give an official date for the update going live though, other than "as soon as we can".

    This would be a question for Adult Swim. I represent the devs of RUA3, so I'm not sure what the plans are for RUA 1 and 2.

    The rebalance is there! You'll notice that it's much easier to meet the thresholds and therefore claim the rewards. The currently live Events are biased toward Tear Stones (which new players will appreciate), but there will be a mix of rewards in future Events, so expect more SC and Bot Tokens coming up!

    So there looks like there is a bug with the events. If you get more than one reward at a time, you sometimes don't get all the rewards.

    The event that started today for TSs:
    250 : 1SC
    700 : 2SC
    1500 : 3SC
    2000 : 6SC
    2500 : 10SC

    I finished it in 3 runs:
    Run 1 - About 900 TS - was rewarded with 3SC (as it should be)
    Run 2 - About 800 TS - Total of about 1700, received reward for 3SC (as it should be)
    Run 3 - About 1000 TS - Total of 2778, received reward of 10SC instead of the 16 it should have been.

    Run 3 was a bit different because I only picked up about 600 SCs which would have had me below the 2500 next reward, but when the bonus TSs because of the Unicorns/Bot bonus it pushed me over the 2500.

    Either way I'm glad to see more SCs in the events! =)

    Recently got this score. Few things

    In the first run towards the end there were so many dolphins that the game began to lag for me. Ultimately the lag killed me because I was not use to it. I am playing on an Iphone 7+ so i did not expect to lag.

    The second run was going well until BAM! invisible object my heart sank and I had to take a break before my third run.

    The third run something that I thought might be a bug finally proved itself. Sometimes when you jump up on to(slows you) or off of a ledge (speeds you up) at the right angle you get either sped up or slowed down and it stays pretty constant. On the third run I hit the end of a ledge just right and it sped me off. I then hit my last gold fairy and during the radiant blast I could tell I was going faster than usual. I eventually caught up with the background and started to get ahead of the background. The background was very distorted and the right edge of it kept moving to the left. Hope that makes any sense ill try to recreate it and get a picture. Anyway that proved the slowing down/speeding up bug.

    This happened to me today too. Luckily I only lost the first Tears reward and got the second SC one.
    Before the first update, it was easy to miss a reward entirely, if u exited the event or went to citadel without claiming first. After the update, when claiming, I noticed it said "1/1". I thought that meant we could claim more than one reward at a time, but now that both Paxtez and me have lost rewards, the best option is to claim rewards before hitting the next tier.

    Update!: I tested this again on another event. I got 3 awards completed, and although the graphic and the reward number was only the last reward tier earned, I did actually get the other rewards added, which I thought I would not.
    Basically, the rewards were 320 TS, 3 SC, 8 SC. The graphic was for 1 box, it opened and showed an 8 SC reward, but I actually did increase by 11 SC.
    Can't be sure if I missed this from before, will test more next event cycle, if I can!

    I see SpeedyLegs, Paxtez, and Apex on the Daily list every day I think, we representing!

    Ahhh,

    I was thinking you were from adult swim. When so contacted Adult Swim on their twitter they sent someone here to interact with us.

    I will contact them again to ask about RUA1 and RUA Metal version. I never got into RUA2. I didn't really like it. I DO like RUA3 however. I've played the crap out of RUA3 hehe.

    I was asking basically when the next update was dropping. I see you said it shouldn't be too long. I can't wait for the raids and events to be better and for the Unicorn forges to be better balanced. The price of the crystals are so high. I spent $20 on the special and got epic unicorns from the 50 crystal forge. I was extremely disappointed. I'll spend a little more when the forges are better and the crystal prices come down. I also can't wait to be able to find crystals in the levels. That I thought should have always been in the game.

    I am very very happy that your team has listened to the players and that you take time out of your day to come here and interact with us. It's very appreciated. You've made a fan out of me.

    Billy

    Amazing score! I'm still short of the 1million mark. Im uh, still trying to level the right unicorns, yeah...
    I've had similar things that happened on ur 3 runs happen to me too. Hard to explain what happened on ur 3rd run, but it's happened to me too, so ur right about it.

    Ever since Paxtez first wrote about getting 15max, I was so proud to have 18max star combo. Now I've been dethroned yet again by SpeedyLegs!
    Paxtez predicts star combo might max out at 25, because that's what fairy combos max is. But maybe it could go on and on. Its near impossible to always pick the path that has the star spawn. I'm going to assume 20 is now the current star combo high score, that we know of!

    Either way I'm /jelly :rolleyes:

    I was kind of hoping they would maybe come out with an all new Heavy Metal themed content update for RUA3 down the line. Since this is kind of their 'origin story' for Robot Unicorn Attack, nickfury stated earlier.
    Definitely agree with you LordShad0wz. =)

    Also thanks to nickfury for the recent replies!

    I did notice, a few weeks ago, prices went down to a reasonable level. Rainbow Pack is now $8 instead of $20, for example.

    I started memorizing the stars that were up top. If you memorize it you can react fast enough to change paths. Right now i know of 3 stars that are up top, but I think there is a fourth because i cant seem to get past 20 star combo.

    Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that the latest update is now live!


    - The big one is a balancing fix for the Radiant Forge. You'll see far fewer Epic Unicorns and more Legendary and Radiant unicorns from the Radiant Forge now!
    - Fixed buffs on Unibots - they now work properly!
    - Better balance on Raid rewards - fewer Tear Stones and more Soul Crystals in higher rarity chests!
    - New flair for unicorn rarity on summons!
    - Cleanup to some UI elements for a better flow
    - More performance and responsiveness fixes

    Updated, and did 5 radiant forges. Of the 5, got 4 legendary and 1 radiant unicorn - the first radiant I've seen. Definitely these are much better results and will likely get me playing again. I wasn't able to use my legendary unicorns before as I'd never gotten a repeat and they were capped at level 10.

    One note, the ios update says 'Bug fixes'. You should have put your notes here into that update, my daughter didn't believe me at first when I told her what it changed. :)

    I did receive a green chest reward from a raid after the update. It contained a total of 0 of the currency reward (it was also green). Bug?

    Patch Thoughts:

    Some good stuff, some very bad stuff...

    Looking forward to burning through my SCs I got in the last two weeks!

    Yep Bugga is working now!

    Those higher level chests are really good now!

    This looks nice, but could you hide it for "Rare" it makes the TS forge even slower now. I have 250k TSs that I have to burn through and this adds a few seconds to each 200..

    Good stuff!!!


    UNDOCUMENTED CHANGES
    --------------------

    -The hidden 'First Unicorn' +30% XP and Score bonus is gone
    = This isn't a huge deal, but it was really nice.

    - The [Score Multiplier] bonus (Round To 2 Digits( [Unicorn Power] / 5000 )) now DOES NOT apply to Running Score anymore.
    = Previously the score your obtained from running (which determines how much XP you get) was affected by [Score Multiplier]. Which means that the XP obtained is now DRASTICALLY lowered with higher level Unicorns. For example my level 31 Chopshop XL has a Multiplier of 3.84. So if I had a really good run and good run got about 3000 points for running, my XP Gain would be 11520 (before Bonus XP or +XP modifiers). This is a HUGE nerf which now makes trying to level high level Unicorns very very difficult.

    I really hope this is a bug because it would make trying to level the Unicorns much more difficult, since the XP to level ramps up kinda quick.

    Hi guys, Android user here but this seems to be the only place to discuss the game :)

    My findings on the new update:

    Saved up 950+ SC for it, results were:
    - 4 Radiants, no repeats
    - 11 Legendaries, 7 repeats (I now have 2 rank 4 and 1 rank 3)
    - 4 Epics (2 repeats)
    - Currently at 34/41 collected

    - Performance is improved greatly, especially regarding dolphins at higher scores, very little lag even in a 250k+ run (groups that size still are annoying though due to them often blocking your view)
    - Forged 5 bots, no new ones, so will save those tokens for later.
    - I've only played two games since the update, but I haven't had any phantom deaths yet.

    - I haven't done a run with my big guns yet so can't confirm Paxtez's undocumented change on the score multiplier.

    @nickfury, thanks for taking the time to respond here and listening to feedback :)

    Good idea Supes. I had saved up 450 received:
    - 2 Epics
    - 5 Legendary
    - 2 Radiant

    If you look at Supes and mine, it seems pretty consistent at:
    - 20% Epic
    - 60% Legendary
    - 20% Radiant

    Which is pretty good, although the 20% Epic is about 20% too much. =)

    So leveling unicorns is still an ungodly grind and I can't level up horses that are runners still. Those were my 2 biggest complaints about the game. Then you made using the forge take even longer. Great update really makes me want to play the game again.

    I was opening boxes and doing my daily spin and not playing waiting for an update, but the game is basically worse than before. Time to delete.

    Ok, I've been running some more tests and it looks like the XP gain was nerfed even harder than I thought:

    Previous XP Gain was:
    Code:
    -
    Round to Whole Number ( [Running Points] / 100 ) * 10 * [XP Stat] * [Rarity Modifier]
    -
    
    Now it is:
    Code:
    Round to Whole Number ( [Running Points] / 100 ) * 10 * [XP Stat]
    
    The XP Doesn't seem to changed anymore by the rarity of the Unicorn, this is important because the [Rarity Modifier] for Epic is 1.5, Legendary is 2.0, Radiant is 3.0.

    So this change alone is a anywhere between a 33% and a 67% drop in XP Gained

    And Bonus XP was:
    Code:
    [Bonus XP]: 5 * [Bonus Items] * [XP Stat]
    
    Now it is:
    Code:
    [Bonus XP]: 7 * [Bonus Items]
    
    The Bonus XP Base was increased, but it is no longer affected by the [XP Stat]. This is a buff if you are running with Less than +40% XP. Even at +40% XP. And a nerf if running at anything more than +40%.

    Now that Bugga is working, and +XP is the most important stat, this is overall a nerf.


    It doesn't appear that my XP has dropped to 1/6th of what it was before, so there might be something else going on for longer runs, but I haven't had many long runs that I can compare to my pre-patch screenshots. But for shorter runs XP gain is way lower.

    I'm going to try find an older version of the APK to install for runs (and maybe this one for raids/using SCs).

    The cynical side of me would say that XP Gain was lowered to increase IAPs, but there isn't anything to buy that would even help with this. =/
