Game Impressions Months after release, the game is still unplayable and laggy on new levels like magma ruins, lethal halls and avalanche mode when the avalanche is showing on screen. Ipod touch 2g, performance mode on, 691 mb free, ipod restarted after the patch. Here's to hoping that the game will be playable next month. - 1 star
yep, the game still lags on 3gs, the same way like HC did. both games are fun and with great design but technical part should be improved. but reading Kepa's responses about this problem, one can assume it is not going to be fixed.
The problem's very hard to fix, because it doesn't affect everyone. Some people with 3GS/2nd generation hardware have problems, but only a very small percentage. Worst of all, our testing devices don't have lag problems. My personal device is a 2g ipod touch. If performance mode didn't help those afflicted with lag at all, then there's something really odd at work here. We can't figure why identical devices would have wildly different experiences with lag. We're getting new UDID slots soon, hopefully we can get a lot of beta testers with lag problems and finally hammer it out.
please make a quick update for gnomey, the ultimate hook champ achievement do you have to get all the developer scores? and the final victory on eagle mountain, do you have to get all the achievements? sometimes avalanche mode sucks so hard I travelled 2350 m and only get 10 coins. it could be my hi-score
So what is required to access the new Eruption Mode or is it accessible right off the bat? I have no problem if I have to get to some reasonable checkpoint in Avalanche but have no interest in playing any of the scripted levels.
Yeah it crashes with SuperQuackHook (good thing I'm not the only one) I didn't realize it was caused by going left, is something we can fix, or do you have to fix it?
Some updates for you, Kepa: I just beat 8000 points on Eruption (2nd person to do so, woo woo!) and unlocked both 50 point achievements (Final Victory and the one for beating Dev scores). I still don't have 'Taking the Plunge' but apparently Final Victory on Eagle Mountain thinks I do, since it claims that it requires all the achievements? Despite having that, I don't seem to have access to a secret bonus level either. Where is it supposed to be? Also, the game hasn't crashed for me once, and I've been using Quack Hook with various hats and such. No lag either. iPod touch 3rd Gen 32gb.
i like that they keep adding new stuff to the game, but it's sad for me because i'm not good enough to enjoy most of it. i don't know what it is, but i can't get anywhere near 4000m in avalanche. and the newer levels are just a whole different level of difficulty for me. i know, i know, i should suck less, but i feel like i'm not that bad at it, just not some crazy expert. surely i can't be the only person unable to beat lethal halls or magma ruins? i feel like these levels need more frequent checkpoints. there's too much room for error to have to repeat the same long course of perfectly-times screen presses. maybe i'm getting old...
Hmm, it crashes when I didn't have any hat equiped, also found a bug, you can't un-equip hats on Super QuackHook, so once you equip a hat for him, he has a hat on permantaly, also I just unlocked the Smilin Shopkeeper hat, around 12 hours after I got every secret, EDIT: Also every level that was added through an update still says "New" on it?
Just an update, I do seem to have access to the secret level now, Kepa. It's just slow to unlock for some reason.
I just beat 8000 on eruption mode (and snagged the top score while I was at it), which means I now have found every secret in the game, beaten all dev scores and have platinum medals for every single level. But it still won't give me the final two achievements (the ultimate hooker one and the final victory one). Not sure if that bug has been reported yet. I'm also not getting gnomey or the shopkeeper hat like everyone else, or the secret final level thing. Oh and not getting the magnificent hook/hat either. On the plus side though, eruption mode is tonnes of fun! And I'm loving Hookbot; his laser hook is awesome.
Looks like qpawn just downloaded his update. Top score in eruption mode is now over 25,000 points. QQ
-__- kepa , I think that if you make a separate game/app with the 2 endless modes : Avalanche Eruption Just for .99 cents you will make a lot of money... Cause the endless modes of your game have lots of potential.. And they deserve a look! They are better than monster dash ( cause they have more stuff and details.. And they're more random!!! Please before your next gamee make this ! I swear this will have more attention than the complete game SQH ... just for the price and just 4 the pick up and play...! As u can see all of the top 10 apps are pick ups and play apps .. And SQH is not very pick up...(only the 2 endless modes) please read this ...!! Make this xD
