    So I finally picked this game up the other day. After playing through it, I'm kicking myself for having waited so long. This game is AMAZING!

    The puzzles, the atmosphere, the theme, the music, the graphics, the controls... everything in this game is simply excellent. There's nothing about this game I don't like. It was simply perfect on my iPad.

    This has easily become one of my top ten iOS favorites of all time. :)


    My only regret was having to play this on an iPad 1. I look forward to the day I can finally upgrade and play this on a retina display.

    We just released an update which includes achievement fixes, performance improvements and a new level called Flood (near Marsh that was added in a previous update). When you start the game after updating you should get missing achievements for the levels you've previously completed but the boss level needs to be replayed to get the achievement. Sorry about that. But we hope you'll enjoy the new level!

    The game is now running at 60fps everywhere, great job guys! It wasn't always that fluid before but with this update the difference is night and day ;) Currently playing the new level!

    Where can I find the secret level? Not the shardman level.

    Like this game but I can't finish one more achievement till I find a secret level.

    Unfortunately no. I received the "Marsh Walker" achievement, but not the "Arcade Master" achievement. I entered the "ShardMan" level and my progress shows "Shards 1/1". I completed this level twice, but still have not received the "Arcade Master" achievement, so it remains bugged.

    After completing "Flood" and getting the "Water Lily" achievement, I checked my achievement progress and now "Arcade Master" is unlocked. Strange order of events, but I'm 23/23 achievements now, so I'm happy. :)

    Shardman is the only secret level (that we'll talk about at least... ;P)

    Oh right but how I can get the "Arcade Master" achievements?
    I do have a Shard in this secret level (like pacman game style)

    [edit] I read through this page and seem it has take care but still may not fix for some people.
    If you want to my save profile, I can rip and upload to you for your team to check what's wrong even with new version.

    After the update, I made my way into shardland (hadn't been there previously). I gave it a few attempts before calling it a night. I used the teleporter (the one where you start the level at) to go back to the hub, and when I got back to the hub I immediately got the Arcade Master achievement, even though I hadn't completed shardland.

    Twist of fate achievement?

    A small tip would be appreciated, I am currently 22/23 achievements at the moment.

    Hmm... You should have gotten Twist of Fate achievement right in the beginning of the game when you first entered Shardlands from the intro cave. You must have missed it because of an earlier bug. You'll get the achievement now if you just start a new game (Options -> Profile -> New) and play through the first cave.

    I'm happy to announce that we've finished porting Shardlands for Mac and it will be available on the Mac App Store on March 13th with trackpad/magic mouse gesture support and additional visual effects. There's a new thread about it with more screenshots in the Upcoming Mac App Store Games forum.

    But please help me, i am stuck. I got all orbs and all shards for the visible levels, but:
    - the first key missing, i can't find it!
    - i found the 2 buttons in the boulders, but i don't understand what has happened...
    - in the pink/violet place, there is obviously the way to enable the bridges, but how? i can't figure out...
    can you help, please (in pvt, if you want...)
    I am really stuck...

    The levels that contain a key are:
    Breeze, Spectrum, Wing, Bridge and Enigma

    The secret level is accessed with:
    a moving platform near the beginning, next to entrances to Fall and Scorch

    And in the area with entrances to Enigma and Lair there's currently no way to activate the bridges, sorry :)

    UPDATE'S LIVE!!!

    Woot!!! I really can't thank you enough for keeping with this game. Really, it's only gotten better with each update, and these days, it's pretty rare to see a developer just stick with it when it comes to a game in the AppStore... Can't wait to replay through it (this'll be the 3rd time...) woohoo!

    ^Thanks for the headsup Void! I've always liked this game, and it'd be great to play it again. This'll be my second playthrough... Damn, your third? I guess the new content is enough to warrant another playthrough.
