    Damn... When did the OS requirement go up?

    Oh well...

    I tried to get to the store and it's throwing me an error to retrieve.

    Is anyone else getting this?

    @Pixelbite : The last update doesn't seem to have fixed achievements, the one for having cleared 3 areas is still broken for me.

    Apart from that really loving your game, I've finished all levels and only need to finish upgrading all weapons hoping the achievement will pop off !

    Perhaps, the first free (temporary) event since its release. (Based on US App Store)

    Pixelbite has released other great games as well as this game. :D

    Looks like there 2 recent updates...one of which has "Support for new devices". I won't mention the most recent update...

    But does anyone know if there's a bug with the icloud? I deleted the game from my iphone XR since it was difficult to play before the last 2 updates. I do still have it on my ipad mini. So I redownloaded Xenowerks and selected to use iCloud. But it seems like it started over. I didn't have any armor and weapons and levels unlocked. It does show my old high score on the leaderboard. Not sure if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong..

    If anyone has redownloaded this lately, let me know if you see the same problem? Thanks!

    Just a guess but you may have to restore purchases to unlock the full game now before you can restore your progress since when you download now it’s basically a trial version.

    Yeah, thats the weird thing..I can't seem to find a "restore" button...or even an unlock all levels button. I'm not sure if the game automatically "unlocked" for me or its not enabled yet.. I do see I can purchase credits still.

    I've filled out a support form on Pixelbite's website and will report back. =)

    Edit: I actually didn't noticed there's a whole set of levels since I stopped playing so wanted to get back into it to finish all the newer levels.

    Edit2: Well, not sure what happened. I just did an upgrade to iOS 13.3. Then restarted Xenowerk a bit later it it just restored from my iCloud save. Not sure what happened or if there was just a delay. I have all my previous progress.

    Hopefully they get back to you.
    I’m in the same boat.
    I did the iOS update. My game has remembered how many levels I played beforehand.
    I also don’t see any restore button.

    I’m just concerned that the game may ask for re-purchasing after a set number of levels (I’m only at level 9 in the first mission).

    I guess I shouldn't have edited my previous message. Somehow my previous iCloud save restored on my iphone XR. I didn't do anything on my ipad mini (which has the progress). Not sure if there was just a delay in iCloud restoring. I did upgrade my phone from iOS 13.2.3->13.3 in the mean time.


    Below are the steps from support in case anyone needs it.

    On the device with progress:
    1. Go to (iOS) Settings -> Xenowerks.
    2. Turn on "Ask for Cloud"
    3. Start the game
    4. Choose to "use cloud" when asked.
    5. Start a level. (Every time a level is started or ended a save game is triggered. Other events triggers this too, but this is the safest bet!)

    On the device without progress:
    6. Go to (iOS) Settings -> Xenowerks.
    7. Turn on "Ask for Cloud"
    8 Choose to "use cloud" when asked.
    9. Continue to main menu and see if it works.

    If this doesn't work there are three usual suspects:.
    A.) One of the devices cannot access the cloud properly.
    A.1) Go to (iOS) Settings -> iCloud
    A.2) Make sure it is the same account on both devices.

    B.) The devices access different Clouds
    B.1) Go to (iOS) Settings -> iCloud
    B.2) Make sure "iCloud Drive" is set the same on both devices.

    C.) The devices have different versions of the game installed.
    C.1) Make sure both games are updated to the latest version.

    Check the information, for both devices, displayed in:
    10. Go to (iOS) Settings -> Xenowerks.
    Does it match?

    Thanks for that posting.
    I was able to restore my old game progress on both iPad and iPhone using the cloud.

    But I still I don’t see any restore purchases. Hopefully as I progress I won’t have to buy it again, though it’s been so long I have no idea how much it cost anyways.

    It's $1.99....
    I'm pretty sure that's the price it's always been....

    And.... if it matters, I also haven't seen any restore points. I had a new save going about a week ago and am only on the second world, but I played through about 6 of the stages and haven't seen any ads or pop ups telling me that I need to purchase it, so I'm hoping that my cloud save took care of that.

    If not, Pixelbite's a really great studio-I'm sure if you have any issues with the unlock, you could send them a proof of purchase, and they'd help you work it out.

    Yeah, that's kinda strange.... Space Marshals 2 wasn't like that....

    ....
    <shrug>

    At least it's only $2.

    Ah it was more last time I checked.. yeah it was annoying you had to pay twice and didn't seem like progress wouldn't sync either. It was enough of a barrier for me not to bother as I already had it on my ipad. Especially as Space Marshals was cross platform too..
