    Quite possibly. I was flying in and out a lot.

    Will the fix fix it for me or do I need to start over? Or can I complete without the research.

    The fix should just work -- when you return to that level after the next update, the cinematic will play and the research will unlock.

    But missing the research won't block you on any of the endgame content, it will just have a very small impact on your game completion score. And you won't be able to finish the MegaZoa research topic and get the corresponding Game Center achievement (until the fix, or until you start a new game).

    Sorry about that!

    Hey Picturepack,

    So you never went through the sequence of 'feeding' the Sentients at the Power Station? I suppose it could be a bug related to you unlocking the first endgame before going to the Helm -- I was under the impression that you had to activate the Power Station to get any endgames, but perhaps that changed late in development. If you're not getting any cinematics or seeing Sentients in the Power Station AFTER visiting the Helm and getting the visualization pointing you there, something's definitely busted.

    If you like, you can PM me and I can give you instructions for sending me a savegame, and I can take a closer look at your situation.

    Stuck in "What Will Rise"

    I'm stuck in a different spot much earlier on, the very first section of "What Will Rise", just trying to reach initial biomass...

    Imagine if you had only planted two Prax and the rest Hydron in that chamber. Well, I did... only now I'm stuck at biomass 440/450, I can't create any more, the larian on the ceiling will not wake (expected anyway since I can't get to biomass 2) and I can't kill anything already there. The cerebrate below will not open with just 440 biomass, I can't proceed.... is there anything I can do to fix this?

    Thanks for a GREAT game, I spent much more time playing this recently than I thought I would.

    EDIT:

    Never mind, I was able to use an exploding seed I forgot I had to dispose of a hydra and continue on.

    Extinction event

    I love this game. But I think I may have caused an extinction event which is preventing me from making any more progress.

    I think I killed off all the Cephad Zoa in every chamber and I have no more seeds, so I can't change the soil properties as necessary in every chamber.

    Am I missing something, or is this a bug (dead end) in the game?

    Thanks,

    How can I send my save game from iPad to iPhone so I can continue playing when my iPad isn't accessible?

    Bug in my brain or game?

    Heylo everyone! This seems to be the only place Google knows of discussing this amazing game it seems ;)

    I'm having trouble completing an optional objective in the "Missing Pieces" level. I am told I must "Water the pod". Is this the same type of pod found in the helm? If so, I have done so. If not, which pod must I water?

    I have level 5 biomass on all levels and have no other outstanding objectives apart from the final one.

    And one for David: none of my achievements are getting synced to my Game Center, even though I appear on all 3 leaderboards. I am running 1.1.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    I love this game too! :) And it is about the only place I can find with any discussion going on.

    As for your "water the pod" question, it sounds like you did the right thing. I did the same thing, but I also had to "pop" the pod with an explosion (hope I'm not giving too much away).

    I had to restart the game from scratch because I killed off all the Cephad Zoa by mistake and then couldn't max-out all the caverns because I needed their seeds. I guess it's a good lesson in why we might not want real species to go extinct... we might need them sometime :)

    Hey Nimbus,

    That's weird about the achievements -- anybody else having that problem? Achievement data gets sent to GameCenter whenever an item gets updated, and if it can't send it to GameCenter then (because, say, the network is unavailable), it will try sending it every 5 seconds until it succeeds.

    Try running through an endgame, are the achievements still MIA? If so, PM me so we can discuss it offline, I'd like to look at it further.

    And thanks for playing!

    brilliant game.....and now my problem :)

    I seem to have killed all the Feran Zoa, only found them in one place, have no seeds left.
    Are they gone for good?
     
  14. David Tiger

    David Tiger Well-Known Member

    There are several places where you can find them or their seeds... off the top of my head:

    Feranmaxes, Missing Pieces, Magma Cavern, Last Rites, possibly Larian Gauntlet but I'm not 100% on that one
    Just keep exploring and you should be OK! They're a tough one to totally exterminate.

    MegaZoa

    Love the game. it's one of the only iOS adventures i've completed in quite a while (Spider being one!) I've completed the game, gotten all the endings & such, yet I'm missing 100% research, cause i can't find 2 MegaZoa. I've found
    Periscope, Hydronmaxis, Harvester & Levitroph
    can someone please point me to the other 2? @David: what is the plan for DLC if there is any. I want to explore this world more! thanks for the great game.

    Research incomplete

    Game is awesome. I was wondering about the
    prax zoa diet research entry though. I have fed the prax a bunch of phyta and cycot but there must be something else I need to feed them to get that research objective.
    Any tips? Thanks!

    Thanks Tiger Style: You guys kept your promise on the control: They are my favorite aspect of this game. Incredibly fun navigating/mobility around the caves of Mars.

    One of the top, top iOS games I've played (best platform/adventure/sci-fi).
