Awesome update. I thought I'd stick purist so I can master the game from both ends but I'm loving playing facing forwards all the time. Thank you Elton for such a speedy update. Talk about responsive to player feedback. What a game. It will never leave my devices.
What an awesome game! In future updates, will you ever add new sound effects, new celebrations or even multiplayer?
Can't wait to hear our little players vocals. Hopefully this game is successful enough to see the game fully fleshed out. It's great already but the extra touches and polish are always welcome.
No help with the update. I've always been able to hit the ball over the net . Now it's only going over 70% off the time compared to 100. No drop in computer ai for me. Do I need to delete this game and download it again to get it to update . I'm two tournaments in and have played level 6 of each training . All tutorials have been played. Not sure why I can only win 2 matches right at the start of the career. I can't catch up to the computers hits 50% of the time no matter how many stars they have or me. I seriously want to break my phone . Lol but really it's one of the more frustrating games I've played but keep playing
An awesome game just got....awesomer. It's so good to see a developer so active here and responding to players suggestions. This is what makes the TouchArcade forums great!
Shouldn't need to reinstall anything. The AI is reduced to the lowest possible level with fairly slow reactions, and the maximum rating for all opponent abilities is clamped to 0 stars for the first 5 wins. And that maximum only goes up 1 half-star for every 5 wins. Until you've won 20 matches, even 2 star players are playing at a reduced level. And the game speed takes 30 wins before its at full speed. I cant make it much easier and have you actually have to hit a ball back. Just playing a fresh install from the update on the appstore, and the AI is hitting very slow shots and not reaching most of mine.. Match 3 of 1st event.. Now won 1st event and 2 games of second not needing to try too hard. have had 1 level up aready, used stars so I'm 2 star. Just hitting the ball away from the AI guy is winning matches easily for me? And if you do lose now, it now drops back about 20% on that progression.. 2 losses in a row, goes even further back.
JayG, knowing your favourite genre is "idle clickers" - are you sure you're doing more than just mashing buttons here Only kidding, but maybe it's had an effect on your gaming skills
I play almost every game and genre that come out every week . My fav are clickers. Thanks for caring though ;| The game updated in mid tournament for me . So the ai didn't seem to drop until I lost the game. After I lost it I beat the next two tournaments so the update improved . Not frustrating anymore as I'm beating 4 star players 1st try. Balls aren't being smashed that I can't run to anymore.
OK - do I download the update or not? I'm enjoying it as it is, and I don't mind playing top or bottom of the screen...
I'm still having save trouble, after the update I was playing in the Paris masters, I won the first round then saved and exited the app, when I returned the competition was over and I had another 20 coins taken from my balance. Also, I still can't gain any more colours, regardless of what I earn, I only have 5 colours to choose from.
This update is FANTASTIC! I love that I can always be on the bottom! I do much better from the bottom! I'm a power bottom!!!
I don't know how I managed it, but I took down my first major tournament! http://imgur.com/ylzplW6 This one was full of 5 star players in most of the rounds I won. Compared to my 2.5 star rookie, I'm still stunned that I pulled it off.
I second this question How many wins do we need before the new dynamic difficulty doesn't kick in when we update? I'd really like to keep it at the current difficulty even though i'd like to get the bottom only option
If you've won more than about 50 matches in your carreer, you shouldn't really notice any change in the difficulty. From there, if you lose a match, the next one is only going to be very slightly easier, but it's more likely to be a weaker opponent in the 1st round of something anyway. So you would probably win anyway and the difficulty would be back to maximum.
Replays... Should be easy enough.. Would be needed for a challenge system anyway, which I would like to add
