    I find myself turn into a hedgehog everytime I reload my save (and I can't play anymore as the both paths are blocked by rocks... and my hedgehog can't fly). Is this the way this game works? Is this a joke? I have to start all over (3 times so far), all the time, just to be turn into a hedgehog everytime I die? Or do I do something terrible wrong?

    Edit: Seeing so many bad reviews [here (comunity) and almost in every other review sites] I understand I'ts my bad I gave this one a try.. :/

    Game isn't terrible. It's far from good. Many posts are dead on; the graphics will blend together causing some confusion. Controls are touchy at times; movement is inhibited occasionally when there's interactive objects on screen, such as characters & food items.


    Attacking it so ehh mostly because you awkwardly fling yourself at the target and that's it. UI is somewhat small, unexplained & infered at best.


    Back on the graphics; the art style is cool, (pixels yay) but my god is there no sense of contrast what so ever. My brownish grey deer definitely matches the plethora of brownish backgrounds.


    Maybe add an indicator in a very fluent lighting aesthetic. Brighten up certain colors to increase contrast and maybe show off those pixels you've worked so hard to make

    I was just reading the reviews in the AppStore. One review claimed they experienced the re-spawn glitch after dying and then immediately turning off their phone. That's exactly what happened to me. I got frustrated about dying again and locked my phone before I re-spawned. When I was ready to give it another go and tried loading my save I got the glitch. Could this be what's causing it? Exiting before the game can save properly and corrupting the data.

    Does anybody else remember if this is when they got the glitch?

    The respawn glitch seems to happen on all platforms - xbox one, steam, android, and iOS.
    I'm not sure if its from turning off the phone - we're still trying to figure it out though. One culprit might be the hermit's house that had a longer interior area than the exterior area which can cause problems....

    So it's a T.A.R.D.I.S. and it's screwing up the time space continuum. Lol.
     
  8. Does this mean we'll never have a true Doctor Who game on mobile? :p

    so that actually might be the reason - its doing a save when you close the app which could be corrupting the save somehow. If we turn that off, that might do the trick.

    Save is having nothing to do with my game. I'm off map with no sight or control of my character. Sorry but your game is severely flawed, period. I'm seeking refund, the end.

    Yes - that's exactly the glitch were working on. It might be fixed but have to confirm with some testers to make sure before submitting. Sorry for the trouble!

    It would be a lot better if you could use a button (maybe near the jump button) to attack instead of swiping.

    Also, it's too bad so much time goes by between save spots. It's unfortunate to have to plow through a ton of the same stuff again and again just to get one more try on a tricky jump or something.

    (Every time I get to the train tracks I get hit by a train. The save before that is quite a distance away, with a couple really difficult jumps in between. I just get pummeled trying to go through the tunnel... I assume there's a train in there?)

    I'm not really loving it so far except for the pretty graphics, which really are beautiful. I think I might be happier if either jumping were easier or save spots were more frequent. Maybe I'm just tired right now, but the game is making me cranky.

    There's an option in the settings. Turn off the "swipe to attack" and you'll get a button (right next to the jump) for attacking. And yes, it is definitely easier to attack.

    Interesting... with the swipe controls you can attack while standing still, but with the button controls you can only attack when moving! If the button controls would allow you to do the attack dash from a standing still position the same as swipe, it would be perfect. As is, they're still difficult to use.

    Jump onto the train and jump above the tunnel just before the train goes in. Easy

    I couldn't use the swipe controls at all. I could never activate an attack. The button is great once you get used to it. It allows you to stay on the move while fighting.

    I submitted the update last night for the terrain bug -
    its not going to keep your original game save data, but should make it so it doesn't happen again.
    There were also quite a few other bug fixes in there and we made default attack using the button option. Hoping for fast approval...

    Good news man. For the record, wasn't trying to torch you intentionally. Rlly like this, $6.99 led to frustration. That price tag for a flawed game isn't the way to gain support or fans.

    I think part of my job is taking a torching for developers (and sometimes myself) when needed.
