I'm going to be out for a few more hours before I can install, but I will post impressions when I get to play!
Sorry, dudes I wish we had unlimited slots for beta. Would love to get your feedback when it comes out!
Bah... 200?! You're freaking kidding me. Yeah, I'm talking to (fighting with) Keith on that one. I'll see what I can do.
Finally got a chance to play around with it, and just posted a score of 107 on cyclone island on my first attempt. So far I'm really enjoying it.
This game is great very addicting, I'm still formulating my full impressions, but just wanted to let ya know I d/led and am having a blast!
Holy poo! That's amazing! Ok, let's see how long it takes you to break my 143. Can you do it by tomorrow?! You're just ahead of Don_GT, who's at 104. No no, he definitely wants it. It will be there eventually. It's just that we have very little time, and persisting game state is more difficult than it seems. I think it's really important too - we're trying to work it out.
I thought Cyclone was too easy. I posted that score on perhaps my 2nd attempt and moved on. Sturgeon is where it's at. Best map in the game.
Wow you guys are getting 100's? My high score 60 - 70. I could have gone further, but right when a ship was going to go off the screen, a new one came in and ****ed me up.
oooooooooo that makes a lot more sense... i forgot that you were aiming for next week as a submission date
Awesome! Glad you like it! Looking forward to your feedback! Sturgeon is my favorite too. I love/hate the cyclones also, though. I need someone to beat my score so I have a reason to go back I just tried Sturgeon again because I think this is my last chance to try to be #1 before you guys kick my ass No dice. Oooh that is the worst. You gotta watch for those warning arrows. Don't worry though. Most people start with an average score of 20, and then just keep getting better. You're doing awesome! Yeah - we're leaving for WWDC, and then taking a little road trip, so we basically won't be working June 8 - 24, so we *need* to submit Harbor Master before we leave, or we delay it by at least a month. We will address all the high priority items before we submit, though.
Here's what I'm doing: Leave the boats docked til the warning arrows appear That way you aim the docked boats to the open areas and don't have to worry about them Trying to get all the boats out quickly is why my scores started out low
Oooh, interesting strategy, VeganTNT. I'll try that on Sturgeon Creek. Still trying furiously to beat my record. Just got up to 109. Danny, what I do is I just redirect my ships offscreen. When I see the warning arrow come up, I redirect the leaving ship to avoid it. It flashes for at least a few seconds, so that should work.
Yeah I'm trying that NOW. Haven't encountered the problem anymore but still mad that it happened. Oh well, I'll move on. AWESOME MENU!!!
Protip: Do not try to take a screenshot during your high score run. Mistimed the buttons and lost it. Did get a screenshot earlier in the run of a gamebug though, so I'm proud of that little accomplishment.
Yeah - that happens to you once, and you never let it happen again Glad you like the menu! I'll pass it on to our artist! Haha - yes, you can't screenshot and drive. Good work on finding a bug! Keith will be working on all those bugs this week.
