Mega Run - Redford's Adventure (Universal) By Get Set Games

[fetagames]

Well... I loved "Mega Jump" I hope "Mega Run" would be same fun !

I don't know what the deal is as this was happening both before and after the update, but I can't access any level from the second world. After I complete the first one, it unlocked and "downloaded" but when I click on the world, all I get is a scrolling background with no levels to select.

So right now, I'm stuck.

Try deleting the game and reinstalling it. Gamecenter remembers where you are in the game (including money and powerups), so you can play on multiple devices. Deleting and reinstalling the game would basically be the same as playing on a new device.

Any update on whether we'll see a multiplayer option? similar to Tiny Wings 2, I actually think you could go one better and make it online multiplayer instead of same device.

I just thought of this...

I wish this game had a 'Reprieve Jump.' What I mean by this is a 'save' jump that you could use once per stage that would propel you back upwards and hopefully back onto a platform. I think an option like this would be more in tune with the gameplay as opposed to just reviving yourself with the 'Save Me' option.

If you were to visualize this, you would 1) Fall off a platform; 2) Before you completely disappear from the bottom of the screen you could double tap the screen to use the 'Reprieve Jump'; 3) When the RJ kicks in, you would be propelled up very high (similar to being propelled by a ramp or cannon), so the chances of you landing back onto a platform would be greater, but just because you use the RJ doesn't guarantee you would land safely--it would be a gamble, making it even more fun.

I also think the Reprieve Jump could be bought in the store. You could buy as many as you want, but could only use one per stage.

What do you guys think?

Multiplayer is something we're thinking about, but we don't have a firm timeline for it yet - we're concentrating on creating a new Endless Mode and adding more bonus stages in the next few updates. We'd love to get some kind of multiplayer option happening though!

This is an interesting idea - sort of a Save Star "lite". It might be a bit too similar to how Save Stars work right now, but the idea of a single-use "reprieve" is worth considering. Thanks for the suggestion!

You are most welcome.

It definitely falls into the same category as the Save Star, but instead of 'buying' your way out of trouble this would throw you right back into the board without having an actual break in the gameplay. The Save Star is also to resurrect you for when you have actually died. The Reprieve Jump would be there to prevent you from dying. This is an important distinction.

I thought of this because I'm getting frustrated when I fall off a platform and can't see if there is another platform beneath me, only to fall into the abyss with no fail-safe (besides the Save Star).

I have another idea too (which is more of a revision of the Reprieve Jump). Follow my train of thought... I think what would be most ideal is to designate the Reprieve Jump as what the Save Star does now, which is being propelled upwards, and to reassign how the Save Star is presented. My idea is to make the Save Star so you parachute in from the sky! I mean literally, Redford would drop in from a parachute onto a platform if a Save Star is selected. That would be AWESOME.

If you were to visualize this, Redford falls off a cliff, before he hits the bottom you double tap the screen to use the Reprieve Jump, which would now have the exact same visuals as what the Save Star has now, no break in gameplay and you are propelled back up onto a platform. The Save Star is re-packaged, so when that is selected Redford drops in from a parachute. Coming in from the sky makes sense since the Save Star stops the gameplay, and dropping in from the sky signifies a fresh start.

I think the most important part of this is to have one chance to get back into the game after falling that does not stop the game play. Maybe if the Save Star was able to be equipped before the stage begins?

Let me know what you think! This may be a MEGA cool alteration

Nick I was also wondering if we could pay .99 cents to disable the pop-up adds that appear when the app is first opened up. They aren't too obtrusive since most of them seem to be promoting Mega Jump and Mega Run, but I like as clean an app as possible and would gladly pay .99 cents to see no adds.

Update 2 is out!



Yay, I've been waiting a long time for this. You guys did a great job. I havn't had much time to sink my teeth into it, but first impressions are great! The "Trapdoors" & "Bash Blocks" add a lot of fun, and Charging Charles is really cute.

Hmm, the parachuting idea would indeed be very awesome! I think Redford would have to be shot upwards before he parachutes though. Otherwise, it would be a little weird is Redford falls off the BOTTOM of the screen, but reappears at the TOP? I guess it doesn't have to be 100% realistic though...

The idea of being able to equip the Save Star before the stage might work well. Kind of like the wings in Temple Run.

Yeah, a few of them have even been ads for other games. It would be nice if any I.A.P would completely disable third party ads since the minimum I.A.P is $2. However it's really minior so I'd gladly put up with it, if it makes Get Set Games a little extra revenue.
