[Zincous]

No one is talking about the gameplay in this thread?

Is it just me or is this game super hard?

By the time I can look down at new incoming bags the red ones are already past the red station. Hard to keep up.

I tried playing sideways, and did a little better but still :eek:

[cjsbug]

This is crazy hard!!

My first couple runs I got 2!

I think it needs to start a bit slower or with fewer bags.

[jasonsmith]

yep the little quick shot I had with it, it was hard. I'm sure it's just me though LOL.

[Zincous]

Give me your answer to this question:

3. Bombs

Bombs and razors

[Zincous]

MaiklSH, I have a question. The achievements for "bags inspected" are a total from all games?

And is "bags sorted" a total from a single game? Because I've sorted 600+ bags and don't have the achievements for 500 bags sorted.

But for "bags inspected" I got the achievements from just all my games combined.

Is this correct or is something wrong? Because I think it should be more clear if this is correct.

Man this game is hard. High score so far is only 4. :(

Belt moves rather fast and is hard to keep up. While i'm checking the tags at the bottom of the screen, alot of the bags will go past the colored pusher i need to sort them. If you could add difficulty settings, or slow it down a tad, it would help alot. I do love the game, but its a bit frustrating for those of us not 16 years old anymore. ;)

[evilito]

Yes very hard, i have the same problem while checking the bags, especially the red tag ones, i always miss those. I find two hands with this game makes it a bit easier.

[MaiklSH]

Guys, be sure to see the video on YouTube, it will help you. Play need two hands and then there is nothing difficult.

[MidianGTX]

I just got the update and noticed that the achievement popups don't pause the game (I'd rather they just didn't pop up at all during gameplay) so I end up losing every time I get one.

[Hadhoud]

I was watching the youtube video, and i noticed something, i have a 3Gs iphone. And on my iphone the game is faster, so i don't have the time to play correctly, my high score is 22. Is it normal or it is an issue on 3Gs???

[JCik68]

review submited:
"challenging game that looks easier than it really is. now with openfeint so be prepared for achievements, leaderboards, that will motivate you enough to play this game for some time. really good time killer for short sessions"
4/5

[rhenzhen]

Man, this game is hard. LOL! I gotta find some strategies. I like the graphics. Unfortunately, i didn't have much time to play lastnight. I was dead tired. I'll try to play this game more later and will leave feedback. I really like the game, it's very challenging, it makes you want to play more. hehehe! :D

[JCik68]

its not that hard... my current highscore 147... just make sure you inspect every bag as it gives you extra lifes

[MaiklSH]

I was watching the youtube video, and i noticed something, i have a 3Gs iphone. And on my iphone the game is faster, so i don't have the time to play correctly, my high score is 22. Is it normal or it is an issue on 3Gs???
Yes, the reason for this in the iPhone 3Gs. We can not test for iPhone 3Gs since in our country it is not for sale.
In the next update will be reduced speed for iPhone 3Gs as iPod, iPhone and iPhone 3G.

[Hadhoud]

I was wondering why it was so difficult. The game is very nice. Very addictive, i tried many times but it's really to fast. Hope you will update it soon so i could beat the best records. thank you very much and give as an update for the new upgrade

That's just you then. Practice more. I have a 3Gs and my score is over 200. It's not the device.

[Indiania]

Thanks for the code! Pretty good game. If you are having trouble, make sure you use both hands when playing this game and checking bags (extra lives). I scored over 100 the second time I played this. I'm glad you added extra lives and OpenFeint for the leaderboards and achievements. Nice pick up and play game! Looking forward to more updates! Leaving a review on iTunes now.

[jasonsmith]

In the next update will be reduced speed for iPhone 3Gs as iPod, iPhone and iPhone 3G.

I've noticed a couple times now that on my 3GS the speed will change on start up, sometimes it's what I think is normal and sometimes it's quite fast. Never changes while playing from what I have seen yet. It's not all the time 100%. I'll play around and see what I can come up.. ie if it plays fast after a reboot with lots of free memory or I'll load up a big app before, fill up the memory and see if I can slow it down.

Looking forward to the update.

[MaiklSH]

New video from Habpages.com: link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yyWutZ4Dp0&feature=player_embedded)
And review: http://hubpages.com/hub/baggage-control

[jasonsmith]

That's just you then. Practice more. I have a 3Gs and my score is over 200. It's not the device.

FWIW I have been playing and testing the speed issue (3GS) for a while now under numerous circumstances and it's not an issue of practicing more and it's not an isolated issue with one persons device. The speeds change from what would be almost normal to almost double on startup. Guessing it has to do with the current memory load on the 3GS. It's certainly not an illusion. I can start the game multiple times and time the bags as they enter and exit the screen. Sometimes they take approximately 5 secs which I would assume is normal speed but sometimes they clear in 4 sec and sometimes even 3.5 sec. I've been trying to reproduce a situation where I could repeat a speed but can't seem to find the answer. The speeds change when restarting the app as well as replaying from within the game.

MaiklSH this is a great game, if there's anything I can help you with since you don't have 3GS's over there let me know. I'd be glad to beta test any fixes you have in the works.

[MaiklSH]

Update that fixes this problem was submit on August 31 for the Apple review. We wait out the other day.

I can't believe how much difference there is now on my 3GS. My score went from 45 to 145 in an instant. Very happy now that I can actually enjoy a great game. Thank you for the update MaikISH.
