Well, I guess the update helped performance on newer devices. But that still doesn't excuse them in my book.
I gotta say, with the new d-pad and improved performance, the game put a smile on my face, it's a joy to blast through the level without fumbling for controls or being plagued by framerate stutters. Haven't met any graphically intensive areas like boss battles yet, but the game seems good to go. I still hate that you have to jump around in the level select map instead of simply tapping to choose it.
Guess the problems only still exist on older devices. Ashame that the developer doesn't care to answer these issues (even just saying they're still working on it). Apple denied my request for a refund because I got one earlier this month for an app that was labeled as "free" but I still got charged. Guess they're picky about refunds within a certain amount of time. I'll have to see if I can get the Dev to pony up the refund. Really, really wanted to like this game and see it's potential, but if I can't play it and it wasn't (at the time) recommended only for newer devices, then I deserve a refund (even if it's only $2.99, it's just the principle).
ha... if the devs don't even want to address performance issues, and deletes any posts relating to them, I doubt they'll be easy to get a refund from... let us know though... I'm not in this performance issue group, but there are quite a few people that are... I"m sure they would like to know if you can get a refund from the dev or not...
Gotta say I'm really impressed by this update. It's running buttery smooth on my iPhone 4 now and the left and right buttons are awesome. Sucks that the devs are indirectly giving awp69 shit though. :/
Sent an e-mail to their support address that I found on their website. I'll let everyone know how (if) they respond so that others in my situation will know if they're willing to refund or address the issues with older devices.
At the level select screen, there's some arrows at the sides of the screen... hit those and the upgrade shop is to the right of the 3rd world and the left of the 1st world... there's also 3 extra score trial stages there... =o)
For some reason, the update actually introduced a lag problem for my iPhone 4. I've done EVERYTHING I possibly can (to the device) in order to resolve the issue but nothing works. I'm playing without the low graphics option because I EXPECT the game to run smoothly under the latest hardware (before iPhone 5 of course). Full list: Clearing multitask bar (first thing). Reinstalling & redownloading the app. Restarting & RESETTING phone. And don't tell me to play in low/reduced graphics mode. --------------------------- Also, I can't seem to find the link to emailing apple's customer support for refunds. Can some1 plz send me a link? (I've found it before but it seems like I can't do it anymore... or do I have to use express lane?)
Gunxsword, if you go into iTunes and log into your account, you can look at your purchase history. Find the day you purchased this. Click to open the list. Then click on report a problem, it'll walk you through a refund request. I was denied a refund at first on this one. Tried to go through the dev who never bothered to even respond to my support e-mail. So I went to Apple again and they gave me one. Looks like it could be a great game for those who can play it. But based upon my experiences with this dev, I don't see me ever purchasing from them again.
Well, I love the new controls...they work very well, and I just love this game in general. I did have a question though. I'm playing Space Port level 9 and no matter what I do I cannot get gold. I keep doing well on the energy bonus and the gears bonus but I can only get 71% on the enemy bonus, which should be 100% because there are no more enemies on the level and I defeated them all. I don't get it can someone who has gotten a gold tell me if there is some hidden enemy that I should know about? I destroyed all the obvious ones so I'm not sure what else to do.
You are being too harsh, it was their first game, so obiously they were inexperienced and made mistakes... sure you do everything right on the start, ever
It was more their response, or lack thereof, that turned me off. They deleted posts from their Facebook wall and did not respond to e-mails about the issue. Not a good way to build a fan base. And just don't seem to care in general about those still having problems making it unplayable.
Anybody else have a problem with Game Center not updating scores for this game? Ever since I downloaded the update last week Game Center refuses to upload any of my high scores. It acknowledges that I've played the game, but that's it. Openfeint works, though. EDIT: I just realized that GC achievements aren't unlocking for me either. There are several levels in which I couldn't find an enemy. And there was one level which I got 120% for the enemy bonus... Bugs, maybe? Also, the washers above the level doors 3-8 and 3-9 are glitched and will stay silver whether or not you obtained the three gears.
Your score is not just based on getting all the gears. If you have a silver gear above the door, I would try and get all the gears, kill as many enemies as possible, and beat the level as fast as you can all in one run. That's how to get a better score and get gold. Hope that helps!
Not after they added a "effects quality" option. You can have it unmarked and its flawless, plus the new dpad is perfect.
