It’s Sweet Sixteen time! While your favorite team is battling it out, why not take the Hoops Madness Lite Challenge and win a promocode to Hoops Madness or Hoops Madness Flick!! Beat our high score and tweet about it, and you can win a promocode! To enter the contest, you will need to first tweet that you are taking the challenge and post in this thread. Tweet this message (make sure you let us know what account you tweeted with!): I'm taking the Hoops Madness Lite Challenge! Get Hoops Madness for the iPhone today! http://bit.ly/dAPF1R #iphone #hoopsmadness Then, if you don’t already have it, download Hoops Madness Lite onto your iPhone or iPod touch. It’s FREE to download! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=363973905&mt=8 To win, you’ll then need to break the high scores. There are two possible ways to do this: Method 1: Be the first two people to get higher than 1150 points. This is marked by the user “BEAT ME TO WIN!”. When you beat this score, post in this thread and tweet it! The first two people to do this are in the running to win. The timestamps recorded when you submit your score to our servers will be used to determine who’s first. You also will need to post and tweet that you broke the score! Method 2: Part of the fun of March Madness is the upsets. And we’ve thrown in a twist to this contest. It is possible for someone to upset someone that has won by Method 1. If you can be at the top of the high score list by the end of the contest, you’ll win! You also need to post and tweet that you broke the score! So the order of precedence for winning is: -Be at the top of the high scores list by the end of the contest and you win! The highest score right now is 1366. -If no one makes it to the top of the list, the first 2 to have gotten over 1150 points wins! Make sure you submit your score to the Global leaderboard! The winner that won by Method 2 will win 3 promocodes! One for Hoops Madness, Hoops Madness Flick, and QuitIt! The winners that won by Method 1 will get their choice of a Hoops Madness or Hoops Madness Flick promocode! Remember that one of the winners by Method 1 could be bumped by a player winning by Method 2! This contest will run until 12:00PM PDT tomorrow (3/27/2010). If you need some game hints, then let us know and we’ll give you some! The biggest tip right now is to master rapid shooting!
Just wanted to check in to see if the contest is too confusing or if extra time is needed for it? If so, we can certainly simplify it and/or increase the time for it !
That is a pretty good score! Maybe our score is a bit too high? We may have to rethink this contest ! The trick is the atom ball. The full version has way more special balls. But if you can manage to get them in the lite version, you can hit those scores no problem.
No Twitter for me and I already have the game. But my bestscore is 1300-something, so I don't think the score is impossible.
That's a pretty reasonable score ... you just need to get down how rapid shooting affects the special balls. Hmm ... we'll rethink of a better contest. We do have a trivia contest planned for next week!
That's a totally rocking score! I think Hermanator has managed to pull off 1400+ and I've come close. We will probably have a scoring contest some time in the future ... so people can practice ! BTW, what do you think about the time duration of 24 sec? Oh, and as an FYI. We are probably going to submit an update to the lite tomorrow or Tues. It will have -Global tables will have country flags -We'll have a ticker feed of recent scores -OpenFeint and Facebook Connect will be turned on. OF will have achievements! So you'll be able to nab more OF points thru Hoops Madness Lite and Hoops Madness Flick Lite. And of course the full versions too! The full versions will get this stuff too, but we'll be submitting that later in the week, since we're still working on the DLC component.
that 24 seconds goes by quick...would love a full 30 seconds I think achievements, now that is definitely cool!
We're thinking of making the Lite version 30 seconds. The full version is 45 seconds, but you can do a lot in 15 seconds! Plus, the full version releases the special balls earlier into the queue. We'll think a bit more on if we'll increase the time tomorrow ! I'll start plugging in OF leaderboards tonite. The code already works, since we only really turned it off for the Lite. The only other real think we need to do is build it so we can query updates of other's scores from the server for our score ticker ... then we should be able to submit!
