Haha yeah I don't know why I like it. It's awesome how you can kill yourself with it! When I first used it I was like "WTF JUST HAPPENED??!?! DAMN!!", but when you get used to it, it's pretty awesome.
I'm actually thinking about getting the iCP. Even though it might not work for this game, I'll use it for other arcade games; I have quite a few. The guys that posted about it have inspired me to take the plunge. Now, I just have to decide which type I want to get! Yeah, the touch controls will never be the same as physical controls IMO. However, the virtual controls they've made are pretty d@mn on point.
Maybe it is my fat fingers or something but it happens fairly regularly that my characters stops moving when i try to change direction or try to move after i jumped on the spot. I have to try to re-press the direction to make him move. That usually means death... I've never had that problem playing League of Evil for example.
I know it's been said already but Super Crate Box is insanely fun with an iCade...if you own an iCade you need this game! Touch controls on the iPad aren't bad but I wish they could be moved up closer to the middle of the screen.
good stuff, just can't believe the A/B B/A buttons are swapped on the ipad and iphone lol... For as much play testing as this game apparently had, c'mon now THAT of all things?
IDK...I haven't had any problems with this or any other recent platformers when it comes to arrow controls. You can try and use the arrows as a joystick. Just don't take your left thumb off screen unless you're looking for a box or want to make a complete stop. I do this sometimes!!! I'm just going to buy a physical pad to use for my arcade games. Edit Aww...I thought the GamePad was available, but I guess they replaced the design with the current iCP. The GamePad was awesome.
There really needs to be an option to swap the button mapping for sure. Also, on the iPad I found the buttons to be pretty far apart (maybe because they are on a diagonal). I have pretty big hands too. Edit - Also, it really, really needs iCloud game sync support.
Just a heads up: If you bought Super Crate Box iOS and couldn't get it to go past the loading screen: we've fixed the issue & submitted the update to Apple! Thanks for your patience & support!
I hate that you can't customize the buttons. And the responsiveness isn't as sharp as I thought it would be. Gonna try it out some more.
Looking forward to the update. Curious if this will play better on iPhone than iPad since I do prefer most platformers on iPhone, but I can imagine that my fingers will block more of the screen there. I want to nth the request for customizable controls. Really hope this will be a priority.
Yeah man the discgun is awesome!!! I also like the mines and the Katana. Fun to slice those little... Whatever they are...
Some people on these forums go too deep about their gaming lol... For me, this is a great, addictive little title. Attaining new crate highscores is enough for me, especially for 69p! 31 is my top score so far, i'm sure way off the top. Looking forward to unlocking those other modes. I also enjoy Muffin Knight. Played that a fair bit today for comparison. Do like the graphical style and vibrant colours of that game... Think it's worth owning both if you enjoy Super Crate.
