What? That I tried out the "forced" lite version? I did. And the devs don't mind. I won't remove it. I don't want donations. But I'm not too sure to get it or not.
I didn't find the idea of wrapping rope around wood very appealing at first, but I bought the game anyway. I have to say this is one of my favorite games ever. lol can't think of a creative way to say it, it's just awesome and i love it. btw is the price really going to go up anytime soon? there's been many other games with "sale" or "introductory" prices but their prices never went up, sometimes went down (ie: 7 cities, touchgrind, spore)
That's the boat I'm in right now. Wrapping rope around wood sounds like the most boring concept, but you just changed my mind. I'm downloading now.
Thanks Polyplay. I have now gotten 3 dots on Tranquility and am developing much more efficient wrapping skills. Anyone on the fence should definitely buy this game.
Meh, I don't know, this game doesn't sound like my thing. I think I'd rather get something else with more lasting appeal,
If you aren't appealed at first, then you probably won't like playing it. For all the borderline people I know of, it's been hit or miss whether they like it. I wouldn't buy it if you have that gut feeling. Use that money on Sway or Edge. I personally love Zen Bound, but that's just me.
Yeah, I've got sway, I bought bookworm lst night, great game. I dunno, I've got the money, But I think it could be spent on something better than this. How long is this game realistically going to last me?
A few hours to clear the game. Forever if you are trying to get a perfect score on every object. Tree of Nostalgia will add more replay also.
It depends on what your goals are. If you simply want to have access to all of the objects, you could probably do that in less than an hour or two, provided you whip through everything and don't try for the 99% goal on every level. Of course, if you want to take your time and get perfect scores, it will last probably around 5 hours at the very least. While I hate, hate, hate games that have time limits and/or collectibles as a barometer for achieving perfect scores, this game has no time limits or random things to collect; getting all of the goals on every level is kind of a natural desire, and any of us who have the game can tell you that it really eats away at you when you can't reach that last goal. If you have Windows, try Zen Bondage. If you're on the fence and think you won't like it, I wouldn't spend the money. Reading the reviews on the App Store from folks who have bought the game and not understood what they were getting is distressing, to say the least. Then again, it is only $5, and there are lots more levels coming down the pike.
When the game was released. It was always the intention to release another Tree of levels; I assume Secret Exit hadn't finalized the levels at the time the game was released. The website for the game notes that there will be 25 more levels included in the next update, which (as far as I know) is still planned to be released towards the end of the month. There is (or used to be) a screenshot of the menu screen on the App Store page that shows the Tree of Nostalgia, coming in March. It will be released with a few other minor updates, such as localization issues and resolving some glitches.
Sorry about cluttering up the thread, but I thought I'd try to be more clear in my description of how I completed Balance. The screenshots below show a complete wrap; the idea is just to wrap the first snake this way, then do the same thing for the other snake. Note that when you get to the other snake you shouldn't (or at least I wouldn't advise) going around the tail, because it is now blocked by the rope you used to connect the two. This should be pretty easy to figure out; maneuver the rope through the two snakes until you reach the head, get the rope on the other side of the head and work back until you can continue wrapping. Here's the sequence: In the first screenshot, notice the head of the other snake? Move the rope through the space to the right of the head, as in screenshot 2, which has been rotated a bit. Keep rotating (swiping the finger up, and the rope should be moving through the snakes until you get to the tails, like screenshot 3. See the tail of the other snake on the right (in screen 3)? You want the rope under, not over it. Move the rope around the tail (screen 4), and continue to move the rope through the snakes back to the head, like screens 5 and 6. As you can see in screen 6, you can now wrap the rope around the neck. Compare screens 1 and 7, and you'll see there is now one complete wrap. Lather, rinse, repeat. Sorry again for cluttering up the thread.
dannys95, if you go back several pages, you'd see how I wasn't sure to get this game or not and asked people to convince me. So if you want, you can read that. I wasn't sold with the screenshots, the youtube clips or what people say. But I decided to give it a shot as something always attracted me to this game. And I didn't regret it at all, it's one of the best games for iPhone. The platform-defining game. (And not many games can share this title with ZB).
Hi guys, Just a quick note before GDC sucks me back into its drowning currents. IGF Mobile was a moment that struck us all practically speechless, and that sensation still hasn't passed For the Tree of Nostalgia, yes, there are ~25 free levels coming as a third tree. I know we promised them during March, but all of us being in GDC (sort of unexpectedly) does postpone the update a bit. Apologies for that. Another reason for the delay besides our GDC trip is the ripple effect from fixing previously reported issues. Now that the paint spreads perfectly over the objects in the coming version 1.2, it did nasty things to the difficulty settings we had tuned for each level (some levels became drastically easier). So there is some additional re-tuning to do. *cough* So, humm... early-to-mid April for Nostalgia? We'll do our best. After all it's only 76 levels to tune
Take your time, Frand I hate when devs rush out release or update. Just take it slowly like you did with the release to make sure everything was perfect and polished properly. And congratulations for the awards!! You guys deserve it!! Take a few days off for party celebrations, don't worry about delaying a few days for that, we can understand
