    Ah okay, thank you David!
    Maybe it is a stalactite problem, I didn't think about that. The thing is the grass patches became acidic when I come back to the reservoir. If it was a stalactite the patches should not be acidific after the crash isn't it? Excepted if there were yellow floating seeds. I will maybe try one more time quickly just to see what happened exactly.

    Anyway it's not a big problem, I 'm just looking for the answer to achieve the game^^


    About the score, I think I lost the occasion to make 1000 biomass points of more.


    And many thanks for this amazing game.

    Stuck

    Ok, I've made it this far without hints, but I've given in.

    I'm at the point where the aliens in the crystal have told me what they want. It's a house-like shape, exactly the same as the disconnected crystal just east of the one they reside in. Looks like a mission to defrost the roots that connect the two crystals.. but I've explored everywhere near there with no clue how to do it. Am I on the right track? Can I get a good clue?

    Really fun game by the way! Love the metroid feeling, and science as a thematic theme over senseless violence is really refreshing, so thanks.

    Hey Picturepack,

    You need to visit the location indicated by the Sentients, and there should be one of them sticking his head out there. Go see what that guy wants...

    Version 1.1 is Out

    If you had any problems with the game related to crashing, the world map disappearing, or otherwise, you might want to pick up the 1.1 Update.

    Also, if you reviewed us before in the App Store and can bump your review, that would be awesome -- all of our 1.0 reviews are now a bit less prominent thanks to the way the update system works.

    Thanks for playing!
    David

    Stuck at The Meadow! :(
    Annoying fire spitting plants... can't raise enough biomass since they are killing my plants... and I can't kill them AND they won't stop spitting explosive seed.

    I feel really lost.

    I had the same problem as you, so I stopped playing for a couple of days... when I came back, every plant was gone... every single one in the meadow... good luck!

    Hmm! Must be a bug.. Unless I'm not going to the right place. At the fragmented crystal with icy green roots, I don't see any guy sticking his head up.. Would this have something to do with me unlocking the 1st ending (where the giant plant grows) before ever opening up the 3 aliens?

    Cerebranes Achievement/Research

    I am missing only one achievement for the game atm. Complete playthrough this afternoon, was a hell of a game, nice work!

    The one I'm missing is a "Research Pending" on Cerebranes. I have the following listed currently:
    Abstract
    Biomass 1 Cerebrane
    Biomass 2 Cerebrane
    Biomass 3 Cerebrane
    Biomass 4 Cerebrane
    Research Pending
    Bizania

    I can't for the life of me figure out what it is that I'm missing. Any suggestions?

    Very few ios games hook me but this one has. Great job. It is addictive.

    I need some help though. I haven't been able to find a walkthrough on the internet so I'll ask here. Can anyone help me get through the section called Enrichment? I can't get the level any higher. Its the first section that you are introduced to the purple pillar thingies and the greenish yellow purple pillars that spit out balls that don't seem to do anything.

    My biomass keeps going down because my plants keep getting killed by the acidic things.

    Updated! Out of curiosity, will Waking Mars be getting a retina bump for the new iPad? I haven't seen anything mentioned, and I'm guessing it would look even better with more pixels... :D

    Just completed the game with all the endings, and enjoyed every second of it. Any chance of a sequel?

    The one you're missing is, as you may have guessed,
    Biomass 5 Cerebrane. Not sure what room they grow in, but you might have been to eager with the growing and killed them off before encountering one. Either that or the game bugged out for you.

    On a similar note, I have two issues. One is with the Broken reservoir, but since it's been mentioned before I won't go into it. The other is with
    my Prax research. Specifically Diet. I've already feed them tons of Phyta and Cycots, and I know they don't eat seeds. Is there something I've neglected to attempt shoving down their throats?

    Picture Calibration

    I am at some page where I need to calibrate some picture to proceed. Completely lost. Entirely enjoying the gameplay up to this point. I would appreciate if anyone can explain.

    move your finger about until the picture is 'in focus' - it will get less fuzzy and reveal a picture.

    I was playing on a new session to meliorate my biomass number.(31190) and get the thousands I let.
    But after 7 hours, I arrived at "the meadow" and had a big crash. Impossible to load the level. The game is crashing instantanetly when I load the meadow. No way to fix that...:mad:

    I think the 1.1 is not better in my case. The 1 was working perfectly...


    If you have an idea how to get a chance to fix that...
