A beautiful and very atmospheric game Dene.If it gets a sequel i hope it comes up to the high standard set by this game.

The update is really nice! The graphics improvement on a retina iPad display is noticeable and very nice indeed!

One thing I'd like to see improved though, is the fact that it asks me, every single time I start the app, if it can access my Twitter account. If I say no the first time, please just have it remember my response. I can always change it later via a menu option, but I really don't want to be harangued about giving Twitter access just because I take breaks between playing levels.

P.S. I am a totally inept grappler! I wish the jetpack was available sooner, or a choice, at least. At this rate, I'll be lucky if I ever finish.

Found a bug! With help from another person, I finally got through the grappling bits and got the jetpack. I went back and collected all the star maps, then got all the stars. The game said to go to Gateway, but I went back to WarmSun instead, to find the improved jetpack first. As soon as I claim the improved jetpack, the game crashes. Every time! It restarts me at Passway, and I am not possession of an improved jetpack. If I go back to WarmSun, there it is, waiting for me to claim it, but when I do, the game crashes. And repeat!

Can you only claim the improved jetpack once you've finished the bit on Gateway first •••Spoiler:  (the repowering of the suns)? Why not warn you of that rather than just crash?

Yup. Bug. Ugh. Thought I'd dealt with every eventuality of this bit of the script. I guess I'm diving back into the code again!

LOL, I have a reputation: if there's a bug, I will find it!

I will help you test your next game.

dropped you an email Dene

It's so beautiful! Thanks Dene

Hey, no problem folks. Thanks for the support - as ever. I hate every one of you who posted a bug, by the way. :-) Hate. And love. But mostly hate.

Well maybe a bit of love.

I'll be doing some more bug-fixes over the next week or so (will it never frickin' end?!), and maybe up the rez of a few more bits and pieces here and there. Then, I'm afraid, I'm AFK for about a month!

In the meantime, I have a question to ask (and not in a poll!).
When you first heard about Incoboto, were you most interested in it because of:

a) The graphics
b) My background (Fable)
c) The promise of exploration
d) The promise of puzzles
e) Experiences with Flaboo!
f) My fine selection of English cheeses.
g) The weird name.

The reason I ask is that I have been sooooo impressed by the general niceness and intelligence of the Inco fans, and I'm trying to figure out what brings those kinds of people together in their interest for a game like this. 'Cos it's a damned weird, depressing, bleak game, really...

Any information is really interesting to me. I'd like to know what kind of weirdoes I'm dealing with.
