Wow the new controls have certainly made the gamer a lot better! Got above 600m lol. I think i found another bug- it's not that game changing though. I was using Mr. Destructoid and a block pushed me down with it. I got stuck in between two blocks that were adjacent (touching sides) and my character stayed there. When I moved to the left I died immediately. It looks something like this- (sorry for the horrible editing )
Finally unlocked Mr. Destructoid (yes, I'm that bad) after getting around 450. Guess things like destroying 20 Half-bot blocks is unnatural to me because I've been just jumping and not trying to destroy blocks. I'll get it eventually.
The update has improved things a lot. I feel much more in control of double jumps, and as a result I've gotten much higher... still died right before I could get the 1000m high achievement, though. If there's one thing I still have a problem with, it's that there's still the occasional block that's very very slightly higher than the block next to it, preventing you from walking onto it. I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, but it still shows up from time to time.
So I know you guys already have plans for updates (characters, modes, etc.), but I'd like to make 1 suggestion for a mode that would make this an 11 star game: Freefall Mode (name subject to change to whatever you guys think sounds good ) This would be a mode based on grinding on falling blocks. Both the blocks and your character would be falling toward the ground, starting at a predetermined height (say... 30,000). When you reach the ground it's game over, so the point is to grind and jump from falling block to falling block and see how long you can stay alive. The top-numbers where your height usually is would function as a countdown, while a timer placed to the left of that would count how long you have stayed alive so far, which is the main goal of this mode. This is just a suggestion of course, (a very cool suggestion ) so you can take it or leave it. If you take it then you can obviously change it to what feels better to you. Let me know what you think, and don't be afraid to tell me the idea sucks and/or is not going to be used
Thanks for the idea. We had previously discussed a similar idea for a game mode. Ultimately it didn't make the cut for the first major update. However, it is not off the list for a future update.
I can't stop playing this game and I have all the latest/greatest. I get at least one climb in a day because I have to get my fill of Hyperduck Soundworks... That friggin looping same song over and over, NEVER gets boring!!! This is the best "most simplistic, basic" game to come along in a long time, maybe since Mega Man 2? Thanks again Halfbot, Hyperduck rox too!
would it be possible to make the game have a landscape mode? so its much easier to play with bigger hands it gets cramped playing as it is now, be nice to play horizontally and it switching to landscape/widescreen mode. dont even need a button just tilt the device from vertical to horizontal like alot of games or add a option to do so.
We had previously announced a mode just like that!! Along with that we will also introduce a Casual Mode in our huge feature Update.
Sorry for being persistent, but would universal compatibility be included in that huge feature update? If not, do you guys have any target date? Hopefully I won't have to wait this long before I pick it up for the iPad.
Any update on the update? I just had a great idea for implementing multiplayer: 1v1 gameplay - One person is the character, and the other drops blocks (randomly picked by the game) by tapping different columns on the screen. When the player gets crushed, the roles switch. The person who climbed higher as the player wins. What do you think?
That sounds awesome! As long as there's a recharge bar for the dropper, so they can't just fill the screen up with blocks The recharge time could get shorter the higher you climbed.
thanks to the update, i got the app to work! so uhm, halfboy dudes, is there any way i could give you guys a dollar? cus i kinda got a refund on purchase due to crashing. :-/ but that aside- i LOVE THE GAME. i unlocked all the characters and got a score of 1069 with the agent. cant wait til the update! good work!
Yeah, forgot to mention that part. Glad you like it! I'll send the idea in a PM to halfbot so they definitely notice it.
For anyone waiting on Landscape. Here is a screenshot of the game! We're working hard on the update. We are still a few weeks away from submission, but rest assured there are A LOT of cool new things coming to The Blocks Cometh!
