Thanks for letting me know. These seemed like peculiar design decisions, but knowing these are upgraded abilities later makes a lot of sense.
Just downloaded the update where it mentions a fix to the crash during the intro game but still no luck. Still crashes right at the same moment in the cauldron room. I deleted and reinstalled.
It's a pretty good full game. You want know what is a half game? Pay at least half hundred bucks for a console game, let's say Red Dead Redemption---which was highly highly praised by many authoritative game meidas, then the developer bring you lots of DLC, make the game you already got only the half of full game. And no matter how much so called grinding you did and you are willing to do, you can never get another part of the game unless you pay to download the DLC. What I can say is this game Supermagical is really a deal for 0.99 dollar and it's a full game.
this game needs an arcade-mode... without shops & hats, just for gameplay (that would probably solve many problems for those who don't want, or have the time to grind repeatedly from shop to shop)! i assume this was initially intended (as the starting button shows "story-mode" and not "start game"), but not implemented for obvious reasons? on the other hand, i understand DEV's (money-)situation: how about adding such a mode later on? ie. with an proper price increase (to 2-3 bucks)? or as an IAP... or even better, separated as "supermagical arcade" (with reduced file-size). such a version would probably stay on my device forev... aehm, till it breaks
This is pretty good point, skill or time, once I have one of them, I can enjoy my game. IAP is not the worst thing, one thing I really hate about the GTA is this game is too diffcult for me, I have time to play it but I can't never finish some missions. I bought the game and I love the story and art style. But I have no way to enjoy my GTA IV any more, this is the worst thing! I don't have skill for sandbox game, I am not requesting to beat others in multiplayer mode or get many achievement points easily, I just want finish my game, at least the main plot. I'm really angry about it.
Seconded - still crashing on iOS 6 beta 4 with the latest release of Supermagical (v1.0.4) Does not work on upgrade or fresh install, crashes just as cauldron explodes
Has anyone got past Eiffelville (the level with tons of white and grey minix and bombs) without the spell that gives you extra soda cans ? I'm trying to complete the game while buying just the required items and this is the first level which gives me trouble.
LOL, if you actually bought a console to play a game BEFORE you knew whether you'll enjoy the game or not, then you deserve what you get There are options, like renting the game, borrowing it from a friend, or even pestering the shop guy to let you try it. I'm currently trying to validate your point (no need for IAP) and I got stuck on Eiffelville (I have three stars on about half of the levels on my first try, so questioning my skill is futile). I'll try a bit longer though.
Mmm....sorry about the iOS 6 issue. It was supposed to be fixed and we tested it here, but it seems there is still something our programmers didn't notice. The ending should be fixed by now though! Behold the most epic ending of all time!!! hahaha. And I can give you guys some pointers about the Eiffel Tower level...have you selected Paracelso (the Polar Bear) for this level? He obliterates the white Minix.
I'm not sure - was this an insult in disguise ? Of course I'm using Paracelso, but matching minix won't offer enough soda cans (I get at most two if I'm lucky).
Hahaha...I just played the whole level again and completed it in no time (just had to use Paracelso once!), no need for double soda spells or anything like that. Just be careful with your shoots, get the most of the bombs exploding (be sure that you shoot them when there are Minix around on all sides of the bombs. You'll get it, no worries!
Played it twice more, same scenario - no matter how carefully I'm planning my moves (including the hard rebounds where I'm sending my projectiles through ice tunnels to reach the bombs), there are always too many ice blocks protecting the bombs and the purple minix. I never get soda spells when using Paracelso or when blowing up bombs, while matching the purple minix give me at most two soda spells, and that's not enough. Guess I'll try again later, after resetting my iPad - maybe that'll help.
Well, you can always buy an extra soda bottle from the in-game shop, but I just completed the level quite easily without using any extra stuff. But yeah, I've been playing the game for 1 year and a half now! haha. Just keep at it...Only a little bit of challenge.
I discovered (I'm dumb ) you can pause the game, access the shop and buy candies and soda. Prices are perfectly fine, so it shouldn't be a problem.
yeah, the in-game shop is a bit hidden, actually. We have to do something about that for the next update. But to complete the Eiffel Tower level you do not need to buy anything from the in-game shop at all, although as always it could help!
It's a bit of a bummer for us too...It means there is something else we didn't consider that is not working. Argh. We are working on this.
When she starts talking, and before the cauldron blows up, close the game by hitting the home button and open it again. Try doing that a couple times if one's not enough. I managed to get past the cutscene by doing that.
