    Anyone playing on 4x speed? I'm scared of my phone burning up so I'm playing on 2x speed.

    Would love a ultra low graphics option so I can play on 4x speed.

    I played for hours yesterday on x4 and my phone didn't explode. It did drain the battery but it didn't explode.

    Actually, I think this game may have killed my previous phone. I had my phone replaced two weeks ago because the battery expanded enough to start separating the screen from the case (and the battery would drain in a few minutes, and was unreasonably hot). I suspect that this game caused the overheating that lead to the battery bulge. Fortunately, Apple gave me a free replacement. I didn't want that to happen to the replacement phone, so I made myself a makeshift heat sink. I have a bunch of those little blue freezer bags and plastic blocks, so I put a couple of those in a tupperware type container, put the lid on it, put a thick cloth on top of the lid, and the phone on top of the cloth. The cloth is there to prevent the phone from getting too cold (I have one of those contactless thermometers to make sure it doesn't get too cold). Seems to be working great. I've been running 4x since the update came out. But this is a hassle, and one of the reason I really want to know how to get to the game ending (the developers did say there was an ending...).

    By the way, I'd love a ludicrous speed option that maybe doesn't even show much of anything on the screen in terms of action (just the level / wave, money, etc.) in order to make the computations fast enough. It could automatically drop out of ludicrous speed when the health drops below a certain threshold (like the 2x and 4x speed, but maybe have a higher threshold). I'd be willing to spend the premium currency type on the option...

    For me the game is all about being in an intense firefight. I don't care if there is really an ending. You are right though they did say there is one. If there is I would hope we could continue infinitely. With the difficulty increasing.

    How can a game kill your phone? And if you knew it was then why would you continue to run it in 4x. I've been running it in 4x too and I've left it on the charger when I wasn't actively plying and while it did get warm I haven't had any issues. I do prefer to actually play and not leave it in auto mode.

    I am loving this update. I just dropped another $5. So that's $65. Hehe. I love the instant x3 perk purchase. I can't stop myself. Now that they added the money earned I'm earning 2102k per crystal. It's really awesome.

    I can't wait to see what they do next.

    Perhaps my old phone had a flaw and this game just activated it... When I left it playing overnight, it would be uncomfortably hot. Perhaps that's because of the temperature here (I leave my house AC at 80 Fahrenheit). Intense heat can cause battery damage though. That's why I made the heat sink. That's been keeping my phone at around 65 - 70 Fahrenheit. That's why I'm not worried about overheating even when running at 4x speed. If you're phone isn't uncomfortably hot, then you're fine (though checking its temperature might still be a good idea).

    This game is obviously pretty feature complete, though I do wish you could mod/change some of your active weapons... Like, change the load out to different weapons, maybe different things for different play styles.

    My daughters suggested having different animals, they want a giraffe, Jamie, Connor, etc :D Maybe it has a neck full of rocket launchers or something, dunno :)

    I COULD see a sequel with similar setup, except more of an arena shooter with some movement included... Maybe controlling the heroes and others and wandering the small arena-sized maps.

    I could even see an endless-runner style of sequel, with the tortoise lumbering forwards through procedurally generated maps, leading an invading force, taking on fortifications, etc.

    Like, an active shooter tower defense endless runner... That has Foursaken written ALL OVER IT.

    For this game, I could see an additional "last man standing mode" where you start off with X amount of dollars, can buy a setup and you are positioned in the middle of the arena versus one side, and have to rotate 360 to deal with various invaders, can't replace your towers, weapons, etc. and eventually get conquered.

    Just doing what I do best, ideas :D

    I'm also getting into the nearly unstoppable routine now as has been noted by other players. I don't play for long stretches, maybe 20 levels at a time, but I've hit a point with 3 heroes now that bosses are wiped out in a second or two of spawning, that as long as I take over the waves with snipers I don't get hit, and just keep the heroes abilities going... I don't see an end with it.

    The General's ability does need to be looked at, as was mentioned earlier.

    I do want to keep playing to unlock all the heroes and units, but at that point since there does not seem to be an end, which really, there typically isn't a finale to a clicker is there, then I'll be done.

    I've gotten a TON of playtime out of it though versus the penance I've thrown into it... Thanks again for a fantastic foursaken experience!

    Problem

    Dear Admin, after I've updated the latest version on my iPhone 6S, the icon turned grey and wouldn't respond. I tried deleting it but it wouldn't work too. Please advice me on what to do. Im on level 271 and would love to get back into the game. Thanks

    Foursaken,

    Is there anyway you can please please please put buttons on the left side of the screen for the 3 Heros that light up when ready? Especially with 4x now chasing down the Heros is pretty crazy lol

    The buttons really would help and you could make them a choice to use them or not in options.

    Also has anyone else noticed that even at full health the beaver scouts are such massive targets that they pretty much die when they spawn. They need more health.

    Possible to move up from an MG?

    Apart from upgrading the damage, critical and fire rate of the MG, is there any way to upgrade your main weapon to something else? I love the game, but I'm getting really bored of listening to the same "chuggachugga" for hours on end.
    More the point, even though my MG is upgraded heavily, it seems to only take tiny slivers of damage off enemies and is only useful for small enemies like fireflies and beetles. Meanwhile, my mouse gunners, towers and bumblebees all have their primary weapons upgraded to something that looks like plasma beams and rockets. I'm getting really tired of shaving tiny slivers of damage off enemies, only to see one of my support members take them out from under me with one single shot. I'm Feeling like all I am is a "personal shopper" for my supports, not killing anything myself!

    Devs it's been a while. Are you working on anymore updates ? I play this game everyday. It's still on my game of the year contender list.

    I love this game!

    Reached level 5001...

    I reached level 5001 last night (sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up and saw what level I was on). There didn't seem to be an end of the game at 5000 / 5001 (unless it just played some video and went straight back into the game, in which case I missed it, which would be pretty lame on their part (they could at least have a dialog box pop up, and have it wait until I acknowledged the end before continuing)). So, I finally stopped the game. The game just isn't as much fun once you've purchased all the upgrades. And if level 10000 is the official end of the game, then I'm not likely to spend another several months with my phone on all day and night just to reach that level (unless there was an update with more content).

    Aww damn!

    I saw the update button for the game and got so excited! Then read the release notes and it was just a bug fix lol

    Come on devs please keep updating this awesome game! This is still a game I play pretty much daily. It's a great stress reliever.

    I hear it... I know this might sound like a cop-out, but honestly, there's not much more I feel we can add to this iteration of the game without just bloating it up with content just for the sake of adding content. Even the new units we added last time were redundant... Don't want to add new heroes because basically every function we wanted is already covered by an existing one... etc. I do know there are some quality of life things we probably should do like hero buttons, but as far as new content that would be feasible to add to this iteration of the game, there just isn't much.

    Dont get me wrong, that doesn't mean there aren't ways to make the game better, but a lot of the things that WOULD make the game much better would require a fundamental rework of major systems and UI.

    That being said, we've definitely been gathering feedback and are looking at some options for the future of War Tortoise! We've got a LOT of cool ideas, I think that we hope to explore :)

    Hi Guy565,
    the satellite tower automatically marks enemies and shooting those marked enemies does extra damage.

    New to the game

    Im sure this has been mentioned before, but what three heroes would you recommend I take? I have enough to perks to unlock two heroes. Any help would be appreciated.
