We are on iOS9 here, but... I am in the French store (where I purchased the iAP), but our devices are running in Japanese if that matters (for sorting reasons in Apple's apps, which ignore non-Western sorting if you don't switch your whole device's language *sigh*) - speaking of which, a language option would be very nice, auto-detection is often confused here. In this instance, Tappy Cat seems a bit confused, with the title screen being in French, the iAP purchases store being in Euro (obviously), but all the in-game text being in Japanese (by the way, there is a little typo in that language, "Humoresques" became "Humorex", which would be a nice name for a brand of cold remedies though).
New update (1.08) today, with new songs (still only 51 of them here, instead of whatever the full number is supposed to be). I must say I am very saddened by what is happening: the game's rhythm has been cut down to be so slow it doesn't pose any challenge. Why not let us choose a difficulty level (with the appropriate song length?), instead of having to go through the chore of playing a boring, sometimes cut-down, level before getting to the fun part? Also, now, there are no more background images: just a plain colour. Gone are the sky colours variations, or the little pleasure of picking a cat depending on the song. This change makes the game lose much of its visual identity. 'If it's not broken, do not fix it'. All those overfixes since the initial release have turned one of the most original musical games of the store into just a rhythm game without rhythm. Very sad...
Thanks for continuing to check us out and appreciate your comments Danjuro. 1.08 was probably our worst release, with too many bugs here and there to count, it's a big learning lesson for our tiny team. 1.09 seems to be much more stable, but wanted to address some of the points you made. 1) Rhythm speed - we didn't intentionally cut down any speeds, but I did notice some arrangements are lagging. Will in continuing to optimize all song speeds. The encore mode was meant to give advanced players more replay value and challenge, where we basically added new arrangement in more than 50% of songs. 2) Background images - we kept the unique cat BGs at the beginning/ending of songs, but made it transparent during the song because some players complained it was distracting to the core gameplay experience. It is tradeoff, maybe we experiment with partial transparency or something. The sky colour variations are still there, different for each song. You can also still pick a cat per song? Love to know what you think
With 1.10, the Tappy Cat we loved is back! Thank you so much for bringing the backgrounds back. Also, all the songs are displayed now here. Some of those triple bell challenges are wicked! Edit: well, v1.12 went the other way! The game is incredibly difficult now XD
