Yes tilt controls take some getting used to but once you do, they're arguably better than any other form of input. We have experimented a lot with it and ended up implementing 2 levels of movement, running is less precise but fast while walking is very precise but slow. One can toggle between the two (tap anywhere) in order to have full control of movement. Thank You!

I will give my impressions later though as unbiased as I can. Xexist Well-Known Member May 6, 2010 2,440 1 0 Canada #6 Xexist, Nov 25, 2014 Will have to try later. I redeemed it on a computer and for some reason cant see it in my purchase history to DL it on my phone. *edit* LOL. Possibly because its iPad only, which I didnt see. Will put it on my ipad once I get home younesouhbi Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 55 0 0 #7 younesouhbi, Nov 26, 2014 @RedSamurai: Thanks for purchasing the game! I hope you enjoyed it. Please note that we intend to support it with new levels and improvements. We will also announce a contest soon so keep the gold you got, it might bring you real money @Xexist: Thanks for giving it a try. Just please make sure you play it landscape left (home button on the left) to avoid a nasty bug. A version with fixed controls is in review and will hopefully be available soon. As for tilt controls, we will look at implementing an on-screen joystick in addition to the tilt controls so that everyone can have their pick.

We have a new update live that forces the landscape left so that the controls work as expected. Apple was kind enough to expedite the review. Knowing the apparently bad reputation of tilt controls that we were not aware of, if a user started the game on landscape right, he or she would end up with horrible & reversed controls, some would just assume that tilt controls are always horrible and would find a validating example, when actually he or she is facing a bug but wouldn't necessarily think of flipping the iPad. Forcing landscape left is a quick fix and we are working on integrating an on screen joystick so please do not give up on our game just yet! We think and hope you will love it once you get a hold of the controls, tilt or joystick. The update should be live early next week.

Hi everyone, A new update is coming next week with an on-screen joystick for those who do not like tilt controls. Below are some screenshots of how it's going to be like: The new "Settings" menu item displays a dialog where you can choose your preferred control mode: Tilt (default) or Joystick. If you choose the joystick, you'll have the option to place it where it would be most comfortable to you (you can have it left or right). Until the update is live, try to get as much gold as you can. A contest will be announced soon where the top 5 thieves will be rewarded!

Younes batreky Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2014 469 5 18 NewYork #12 batreky, Dec 6, 2014 Here is my review on this game This game is deserve it's price. The gameplay really much fun and addictive. I impressed about the whole game as it content a lot of Powers options it helping on the next features levels. Also it has more Marks levels according to your finishing the level in the best time, collecting the most gold if not all, still replaying the level until u get the Boss Mark! Amazing for not letting out any level for just one time but u have to beat your score on every finished levels. It co e with a lot of secrets inside so i should play wisely and read all papers in levels and also hidden items that may content a passcode for accessing some points to move u to newer area to collect it gold. All of that and u should care about the time limit! Seems interesting and enjoyable playing for hours so i'll not stop playing it until finishing it. It's hard but needs a brain and fast controller. The graphics interface, game designs, is perfect. Game sound tracks is good as a thief . This game come with 2 options as controllers TILT and Stick that newly added in the newer update. Mostly like the game and there is no issues or suggestions to me. Highly recommended to all friends, users who really liked the addicting games. Thanks for creating this amazing game younesouhbi Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 55 0 0 #13 younesouhbi, Dec 6, 2014 Thank you guys for the impressions but please try to keep them as honest and constructive as possible so we can improve the game. Thank You! Younes m13 Well-Known Member Feb 5, 2011 1,622 7 38 http://iosdevelopmentandbetatesting.blogspot.com/ #14 m13, Dec 6, 2014 Played 4 levels so far. The controls are gameplay are excellent. Takes a bunch of trial and errors and then memorizing to get a higher score. The replay to unlock content is an interesting twist. I thought I had to go around the circle 5 times but of course that was the wrong clue. lol. A fun game with a lot of depth and stealth elements. calibre027 New Member Dec 7, 2014 3 0 0 #15 calibre027, Dec 7, 2014 Just played this game my first impression is that this game has a very unique idea but i think it needs more spices like other kinds of obstacles and such. sorry for not being a good reviewer but i know ill be playing your game right after this, i liked it. younesouhbi Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 55 0 0 #16 younesouhbi, Dec 7, 2014 Last edited: Dec 7, 2014 @m13: Thank you for the kind words.

I could see myself enjoying this on a bus ride or during a break at work or similar place, which doesn't lend itself to iPad play. This is a fun concept. Including the joystick was a very good move. I'd recommend making the rally point automatic, as with the joystick it's easy to not accidentally walk onto it and needing to reposition my hands to rally breaks the flow. Perhaps moving the items/rally buttons towards the right thumb while joystick is by left thumb (or vise versa)? Ingemarjvx New Member Dec 7, 2014 1 0 0 #18 Ingemarjvx, Dec 7, 2014 I anticipation the controls were awe-inspiring the 1st time until.I anticipation the controls were awe-inspiring the 1st time until younesouhbi Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2014 55 0 0 #19 younesouhbi, Dec 8, 2014 @schnitselking: Thanks for the feedback. Some great ideas in there. We'll see about porting the game to the iPhone. We'll have some news about that soon. As for making the rally point automatic, which if I understand well, means that once you arrive there, the level ends, it might not be the best idea for 2 reasons: 1. There might be "things" around a rally point that would require come and go and it would be frustrating to make the player avoid the rally. 2. Once you complete a level, you cannot take anything back without restarting the game from the beginning. This design choice was taken to put pressure on the player and make his actions count. About moving the action menu to the side opposite the joystick, I think this is a great idea and it was actually planned. We wanted to give the player the choice of having the action menu comes out from the right or from the left. It will be implemented in a future update. @Ingemarjvx: i'm sorry, I do not get what you are saying! Thanks Younes PsYcHoNoVa Well-Known Member Oct 20, 2013 391 0 0  #20 PsYcHoNoVa, Dec 9, 2014 Game Impressions When I looked at the screenshots for the game, I immediately thought that I wouldn't like it, and that it wasn't my type of game. I'm glad I didn't judge this book by its cover. This game is highly enjoyable and self challenging. It took a short amount of time to fully understand the game, and what I needed to do gameplay wise. I like how the levels change, and the difficulty increases, everytime I replay a level. The margin of error is very tight, and in favor of the player. What I mean is that the characters detection from a camera's path, is literally down to the pixel, which is excellent. The sounds & music (I suggest playing with earphones to get a fully immersive experience), UI, and graphics, are crisp. The levels are well designed and challenging, and contain puzzles that you must decode. I like how the Game Center leaderboards don't update your score until you "Retire". I find that to be an original idea, since I have never played a game that did the same. The option to "Un-Retire" is very nice as well. I only have one issue with the game. The lack of Game Center achievements. I was vey surprised that such a good game does not have them. However, I'm sure the team is currently working on, or willing to, implement them in the near future. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
