606º to finish the game! Really fun! 4 levels left to climb to number #1 spot :x A new world will be released this semester?
Just started this one. Right off the bat I'm pretty disappointed there aren't separate leaderboards for helmet vs non helmet. At the very least there should be another game mode (casual, puzzle, and .... pro (or cheese wiz) that disables helmets and has its own leaderboard. I got some free helmets when I started the game and didn't realize how much of an unfair advantage they give. Kinda ruins the puzzle aspect of the game IMO. Sigh, was lookin forward to more leaderboard battles
Since the last update of the game, the helmets don't give any score advantage anymore. Also, with the last update, you get 500 points more per level, the idea being that it compensates the scores obtained with helmets from before the update. The thing is, 500 points is not enough. TA forum famous example is Rogers score of more than 11k that he got with helmets on Kitchen-20, that even with today's additional 500 points is unobtainable. And SaLeM B is an other example on Kitchen Puzzle with an even more unobtainable score of 214k there. That being said, and just for the record, all my scores are helmet-free, so feel free to attack those .
Are you sure they don't offer a point advantage anymore? Did you see my kitchen score Oh, and here is 11k on K-20. Only one helmet used.
209807. What of it? What is the score of the level where you think you got unfair helmet advantage and which level is it? Or didn't you update the game yet?
Hmmm, but you have the latest version? I remember I tested a level with one helmet and saw that there was a penalty on using it. But if you have the latest version, then the penalty may not be high enough to cancel out the advantage of a helmet in certain levels
Well maybe GC hasn't updated for you. Mine shows 215k+ And every level where a helmet would benefit has given me a higher score. I downloaded the now free version yesterday.
Ok, I verified that I have version 1.2. Good news is I figured out what the issue is. If you start a level with a helmet on or put a helmet on after starting the level, there is clearly a penalty. The "glitch" occurs when you start a level with a helmet and hit the retry button before playing the level. The retry button wipes out the penalties. So this is useful only for the first helmet. Adding a second helmet (for a level like k-20) during the level will add in the penalties.
Just finish the levels this afternoon! Now number #1 spot! Reviewed the differences between the two modes and matched the scores! I see no other possibilities! I hope I'm wrong...
Ok, now it makes sense. I knew I had seen a penalty on helmet use, so I'm not getting crazy, pfew. But the glitch is new to me of course. Good catch! So to make this game fair and fun again (I hope Baris is listening ): - correct the glitch - implement new scoring algorithm (suggestion: add much more than a measly 500 ) - fix Total Score not always updating - start-the-clock-on-first-touch (a personal favorite) Or make the helmets free, then we have a whole new game! About the last point, start-the-clock-on-first-touch, I've grown tired of games, where to get every point possible, you need to use the retry button, you know, do this frantic retry-then-quickly-start, to minimize time and thus maximize up to every single point for the leaderboard. Especially for puzzle games like TripTrap it is too distracting and should not be part of the game play. My opinion.
Congrats, I only hope you attacked without helmet? But even if you confirm, how can I know for sure? By the way, I still see myself number 1 on total Score ... What do you mean with possibilities?
I want to make a complaint to Baris. I improved my score. The GC updated my score. One hour later. My score was gone in the GC. Back to the old score. But inside the game it is there. @sijs: You think there's still a bonus level out there? EDIT: Look again sijs
