Fun game and neat contest! ;D My highest score is 1353 so far....though I'm using an iPhone 4S and it said I can't go higher because my device couldn't handle it or something? Kinda odd, but oh well. Maybe I'll see if it will go higher on my iPad. [old screenshot here] Also my GC name on my phone is DrPixelBear (I believe). EDIT: Got to 1767 (http://i.imgur.com/e1EvUSe.jpg) on my iPad. Woo! Thanks!
Hi DrPixel and thank you for playing Stack Heroes You are right, when you play the game on iPhone 4S or iPad 2 non retina, the smallest iOS8 iphone and smallest iOS8 ipad, you can find this warning message telling you that your device is not fully able to stack more blocks while keeping the game smooth. This warning only happens with these two "older" devices. During development, we where facing a terrible dilemma, we decided to let users with these devices try the game even if for some of them they could become "better than what their device can handle" The best thing in the world would be to win the contest and buy a great iPad Air with that price Thank you so much for playing and sharing with us. Do not hesitate to rate the game on the App Store if you want to support it. Have a great weekend! Best, Claude
My son loves building games. I will get him to try it later. He is a very good judge of good games. GC name is LajoHansen. Just tried to download it. He just got a new iPad mini but it says it requires the new IOS. I will resolve that today.
Thanks for trying Stack heroes 1stSPIN and I wish you a lot of fun to you and your son. And maybe the next cash price is for you ;-) If you or your son love the game do not hesitate to rate it in the app store, it will help a lot
Just got it working. 1st impression is very goooood. I will let my son play it and I will be back at it later. Did this game get an Apple recommendation? It seems you have quite a few players already Not sure if you have this feature. It would be nice to see the entire construction maybe as a small window which you can open or close. Stacking the cubes has a sculpture feel to it and it would be nice to see the entire image
Many thanks for this great feedback 1stSPIN, it really helps. If you want to see your entire tower during the game, either to adapt your strategy or for a sculptural purpose, you can achieve this through the pause menu (will unzoom your tower, like in the game over). And in the same time, because the game is paused you have time to admire your creation Regarding Apple featuring we have been featured in 13 countries in Asia at launch last week (thank you again to Apple for that), and we are hoping for an additional featuring today but this is still a total suspens let see tonight
I see your game made it to Best New Apps. Well deserved. Don't understand why it doesn't get more attention here with your generous competition.
Thank you for your encouragement 1stSPIN I guess we need to reach Best New Games in US to drive more attention here. For the moment we were featured in Asia only. Hopefully next week this will be extended Have a great week!
You should look at releasing that game with Tencent advertising in China. The returns are very good. If you don't know how get in touch with me. One of our games that got an Apple recomendation then got a Xiaomi recommendation in China. It makes about 2,000RMB ($330.00USD) to 5,000RMB ($833.00USD) a day.
Hi 1stSPIN, It sounds like something interesting to discuss. Can you send me your direct email through private message so that we can go further? All the best!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. The game works pretty well and has been released on Android (Play Store and Amazon Appstore) last week! We are running the last month of the contest, this month the best score in the Spinus world will get 500 cash. It's amazing to see how high was the best towers in Dropone and Solidarius, we have amazing players!
That's fantastic. If you have some jpgs of the high stack please post them my son is into the game and he would love to see what is possible. He has a number of his friends playing and every week they have a bit of friendly competition.
This is really cool to read that! Here is the best tower of June in the Dropone world: And here is the best tower of Jully in the Solidarius world: This month the competition is in the Spinus world! Good luck to all of you!
