Not sure I agree with your maths. The Puzzle mode only unlocks after completing the whole set, so a better comparison is Kitchen Puzzle Mode players divided by Living Room players, which is around 22%. UI is fairly obvious too. I think the conclusion is that most players are just more interested in playing the next set of levels.
Yes, I have to agree. That sounds as a better conclusion. My own psychology of obsessively needing to perfect every level and squeeze every point out of the game probably is not representative of most players Code: Casual Puzzle 44201 1786 8024 220 1696 71 1113 46
I guess things will become clearer after things settle down a bit.. Maybe more people who finish the whole game will go back and play the puzzle mode (after seeing the cheese stash 'leader board perhaps!). We were discussing adding another, even harder mode, but it doesn't seem to make right now (if anything, an easier mode might be in order) Indeed, that's more of a progress indicator, but we wanted to put progress in the forefront. But, we will add a total score leader board, even if it's in second place For the videos, we ended up using hdmi via Blackmagic Intensity.. I was more interested in your wifi router actually, because I'm annoyed that mine is usually very choppy (when screen mirroring to Apple TV and when playing StarCraft) But I'm going off-topic so I'll end this here It's a legal score, but 1 point difference does seem wonky
Trust us, this Amfion is a "smart" hacker (putting in "possible" scores, instead of putting MAXINT 9223372036854775807) that we have encountered a few times already (e.g. Cover Orange 2) Can you find out how many cheese he has stashed? For me it is practically impossible to wade through all 15k players of today alone (congrats for that number!). He probably has no cheese at all or a value that is not consistent
Just want to say a leaderboard is fun and it shows how good you are, but it bugs me that apple can't or won't do anything about those hackers it ruins the fun and it is not good for a game developer also, people just don't bother anymore, I am playing FEED ME OIL 2 it has no Leaderboard but I am loving it, maybe because it has no Leaderboard. So for me achievements are enough screw the Leaderboards.
Good and also frustrating to read that all of you are so good at this game ! I absolutely love the art style and like the puzzles, but for me this game is way to hard. I can not even finish the last kitchen level. I just about mastered the mouse mechanics but I am in no way fast enough to avoid the obstacles, it is all to fast for me .. I know this site is habitated by gaming experts and that they probably can not imagine that this game is to,difficult for someone . Having said that , I love playing games and get a lot of enjoyment from this game so I will just gloat at what is achieved here by the forum members and then go back to enjoy the game and try to improve my own modest achievements Btw : great to see such an involved dev participating in this thread
Breinstein, I know exactly what you mean with the comment about how most TA members are gaming experts and how that can skew impressions, but I really think you can finish the levels on casual mode. The key with many levels is to start the level at the right time (I often start so that I walk right after an enemy/moving spikes) and playing with the speed button. In my opinion casual mode doesn't really get that much harder too in room 2 and 3 if your goal is just finishing the levels, so don't think that if you are having trouble now it will only get worse. Room 4 does get more difficult, I hate those electrical things
Yes, a nasty one! The tip here is to accelerate now and then, just for a bit, like for 1 second each time. That way you'll open up the space to jump through further ahead. Good luck!
Thanks all for the encouraging comments ! This is exactly what makes me feel so at home here . @andy a videosolution would be nice! I think it would help me with the challenges that await me in the upcoming levels.
That's what I thought I'd do, but I don't have a good interface to wade through all the entries either. I did see you're back at the top, glad you got this sorted out yourself We tried to make it so it's quite easy to at least pass a level without any cheese, so that people don't get stuck too much (and hopefully get more practice in later levels and then come back). We may have missed this goal in a few levels, so we might adjust a few of them a little. Until then, andy saved the day! (for now, we made the living room level-2 a easier to pass without any cheese after watching the TA plays video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK8FFY5obrs&feature=player_embedded ) Starting at the right time is indeed very important.. I think this is one of the parts of the game that take longest for people to get accustomed to. TripTrap may not be the perfect kind of game for TouchArcade, but I like this site a lot.. Also, the forums are probably the best way to get feedback about the game (the most concrete example, if not for this thread, it'd take us longer to realise and fix the iCloud issue that sneaked into the distribution version of the app; and similarly for scores).
The update with the iCloud fix just went live. It also fixes a glitch in the puzzle mode scoring. If TripTrap was game of the week for you, consider voting for it here: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=217036&page=5 If Flappy Bird was your game of the week (as it kind of was for me), you can still vote for TripTrap, because that came out earlier and is not in the poll
It made me LOL when I saw this, great saosijs. I tried to become number one just to beat this hacker with helmets and all, Ha Ha, but I couldn't do it glad that you did it. I saw that the helmets don't help much to perfect your score, it's just for people who can't get three cheeses.
His MO is to wait a while to have a more or less established stable leaderboard, at that moment come in and put the "+1" score and then never come back again (sometimes after an update). In other words, for now I hope to be safe I think the Kitchen doesn't benefit as much from helmets as other worlds. Every second faster is worth 35 points and in the Kitchen there must not be that much faster finish advantage using a helmet. Well, I need to play with helmets to better judge this
What's New in Version 1.1.1 * Fixes an issue with iCloud progress synching * Difficulty adjustment for Living Room level 2 * Minor bug fixes Did any scoring modification make it in this update 1.1.1?
Yes.. 1. It fixes a bug with the puzzle mode scores 2. Now (in either mode) you get more points if you finish with less jumps than are required for getting a golden gate (before now, it used to be the same maximum score you could get from jumps).
I think we need a baby room! http://www.stokke.com/en-us/highchairs/tripp-trapp/buy-your-tripp-trapp.aspx
