stfj, -my wife and I have had a lot of fun playing puzzle mode together while travelling on holiday last week. If one of us spotted a five letter (or better) word we dialled it in otherwise taking turns. With your creative spark perhaps you might be able to come up with something better for a mode- more novel, but along the same lines. Food for thought...Perhaps a two player same device mode with a countdown timer, maybe 30 seconds (a pause/resume screen could flash up blanking the screen while device is passed to and fro (kinda as with the new ticket to ride pass-and-play update) -with player one score tallied in the top left and player two at right and some new bonus tile types which can be toggled on and off for variety. This could also be made to work for asynchronous m.p. too of course! Your game is top drawer page one app all the way. I hope your hard work gains you more esteem, as Indie dev's go you are hitting some fine home runs and are up there with the best of 'em my friend
Ha ha, pretty amusing. Glad you found it so easily. Is this issue also why the high word score was not saved? Thanks for the great, active support!
@david r: glad you took the plunge, and even gladder that you like it @bad hanson: you touch arcade crowd are all way too psychic ! I'm glad you and your wife are loving the game, pass and play tower mode is coming in Jan. After that I'm planning to do an game center asynchronous vs. tower mode... and some more fun stuff planned after that
Lol...Not the first time I've been told that Good to know you'll be making the game even better in due course. I get the feeling this game has plenty of legs. -Thanks again!
Hi guys, first of all I must say that this game is pretty full of awesomness, I bought it yesterday and I'm really addicted to it! I didn't read all the thread, but what I want to know is if there will be a french version someday? I saw that you plan on making a Dutch version, but how about french? And I read that you would like to make seperate apps, because of GC, but if you make different leaderboard like : Tower mode - Dutch, Tower mode - English and Tower Mode - French, wouldn't it work? And we could chose the language in the option. Even if this game is really awesome, I wont buy a seperate French version because the english would become a waste of money unfortunatly. They did that with pocket RPG, and I think its really ridiculous.. And if you make a iphone version(which I really hope), will it be universal? That would be really awesome! Thanks in advance for your answer!
@Raphie123: I'd like to make a french version as well. Right now I'm just a one man operation over here, so it might take a bit of time to get through all thee languages, updates, and ports, but I'm hoping the game continues to do well so I can afford to spend a ton of time on it and make everything happen. Also good news, SpellTower is going universal and that should come out on december 9th. I submitted the update yesterday. Unfortunately theres no way I can do the languages in the same version. I had to add 4 new leaderboards for the game to go universal (as grid sizes are slightly different on iPhones/ipods), that brings the number of leader boards in the game to 9. Apple has a hard limit of 25 leaderboards per game, so even if I could do all of them in one game (and i think that might get pretty messy with dozens of leaderboards), I could only support two languages per app, since two languages would be 18 leaderboards. sorry about that
Dah I guess I'll buy the french version too then, Im so addicted right now! And really happy to see the iphone version coming out next week! Im really impatient to play it! Thank you really much for your support here, its really appreciated! Ps if you meed help for the french dictionnary, You can ask me
The update was just approved by Apple, so I'm thrilled to announce that: SpellTower is Coming to the iPhone in the form of a Universal update on December 8th (or wednesday near midnight). I'm really excited to share the game with all of you that have been unable to play the game so far due to not having an iPad, and for all of those who have been enjoying the game, I hope you enjoy it even more now that you can play it on the go (also there will be Achievements, score preview (on selected word), and bug fixes in the update)
I've wanted this game for a while now but it never shows up in my Appstore. Any reason why? I live in Belize (Central America/Caribbean).
Hey stfj, It shows to me that the update i live right now but it wont install correctly (a pop up error appear) whats wrong? :S
@airdan: thats very strange, i'll try and look into it! @Raphie123: im not sure. It seems like it is mistakenly providing the 1.1 binary of the app to iPhones right now. I think it just hasn't propagated through the system completely yet. I had luck downloading the app on my computer, and then updating it (i know, weird right?), and then syncing. I'm sure in a few hours everything will have gone through the systems and you'll be able to just download it on your phone no problem
Thanks for making it universal! Really like devs that go that route. Is the iPhone version Retina enabled?
Seriously, it is just text, right? So I do not really get the retina part. I guess it would be nice to have.
