    Looks like my Endless score earned offline was saved. But like I said, I can't view it while offline. :eek:

    Android had the game on sale for 1.99$ . When can we expect a similar sale for IOS ?

    Never. See Mage Gauntlet. Different group (Noodlecake) ports to Android.

    Are the Android ports exactly the same as the ios original? Game is just as good?

    Might look nicer on my Note's OLED screen as well.

    Never. It WILL increase again, though :D

    One of the things I love about this game is that it rewards early-adopters, not sale-waiters.

    No sale plans for WS on iOS. It went on sale on Android because we don't control sales on the platform.

    In the future, we may do really rare sales for specific games on iOS. Mostly because we're not as against sales if its curated by the platform, which Apple has started to do and Steam has done for awhile. WS won't be on the list, though.

    We'd probably have a small future list of games that can possibly go on sale, though not sure how to best communicate which ones are candidates. Likely one in each genre we cover. So example list, the simplest JRPG style game we do, Hook Worlds (temporary free sometimes), and the upcoming Zelda-like game?

    Will look into it. Currently just trying to get out the hotfix of the save data issues.

    Shield Button?

    Please add touch buttons for extra actions (shield-dash-lantern-axe toss etc)

    Tapping to attack-hold and release for power strikes works fine.

    Swipes don't work for me all the time. A button would alleviate this. Give them a toggle and allow us to set them anywhere on screen.

    The virtual joystick on the left side of the screen is amazing. No issues there.

    If this is impossible, I'll need to buy an mfi controller. I'm just fed up with getting stabbed because my swipe didn't register.

    Best iOS game I've played by far. I look forward to doing business with you guys in the future.

    We plan on having an option to replace the swipes with buttons in the next game, the Zelda-like one. Then we'll port this back into Wayward Souls. That and probably sensitivity sliders for different things. More options are always good.

    Thanks, glad you like the game!

    Man, I love this game but since I've updated my iOS I've lost all of my game data twice... Anyone else with a similar problem?

    #WaywardSoulsFanboyStories

    I was in the hour-long line at my local Apple Store to pick up my reserved iPhone yesterday, excited as can be to trade my "old" one in for credit towards it.

    When my turn finally came, and we were in the middle of sorting out the particulars of my purchase, it dawned on me: I didn't save my Wayward Souls progress before I came to the store, and would be surrendering my game save (not to mention my progress in a particularly epic Endless Shadow run) with my iPhone. So I did what any self-respecting Wayward Souls fanatic would do: I forfeited my turn to the next guy in line, went home, and spent the rest of my night working on my endless run on my 5S :D

    Haha nice

    Testing the hotfix. The bug turned out to be way harder to fix than we expected. At the same time, we also fixed some bugs with the newer screen orientations. Oh, and HUGE NEWS: The screen flip is no longer awful. It doesn't turn the volume meter or notifications upside down anymore, and isn't so jumpy. We had to fix this to fix some screen problems.

    Since the screen flip is no longer awful, there's no more option for it in settings. It's just always on unless your screen is locked, like most games do now.

    Just gotta say I've been playing WS since launch and out of my 250+ games, it's my fav by far.

    Edit: forgot about goblin sword, monster hunter and traps n gemstones, which I almost like just as much
