iPad support? Check! Retina support? Check! I've been waiting for this moment and bought the game right away. Please also note that TA has placed a review of the game on the frontpage.
Is there iCloud support for save between the iPhone and iPad? About how long is the total gameplay, give or take? Thanks!
Hi, I'm stuck on level 9, unable to activate the scanner. Don't even know what this scanner looks like or where to find it. Any suggestions? Otherwise, I did everything else. Found the biomatter and the two relics. Nevertheless, I'm unable to access the area to the west. There are two narrow passageways, but the ship doesn't fit.
My total mission time was 4h 50m at the end. The scanner is the large machine in the middle of the map. It leads to the west (part that you can't access.) You need to activate the reactor first in order to run the scanner. Gather the crystals from the northwest, then go southeast to activate the reactor.
Thank you, but I did all that you said, except I am not able to activate the scanner. Shouldn't that happen automatically? When I activated the reactor with the chrystals, the scanner's lights turned on, but whenever I come close, nothing happens. I'm just able to bump into it. That's all. Edit: I just found out how to fly into the scanner! Thank you for the reply
I've gotten up to level 10 now and have only found 3 artifacts. Still missing some to upgrade my ship. Could anybody please tell me if I should have found more within the first ten levels?
That would be nice. I can imagine wanting to play it primarily on the iPad but be able to pickup where I last was on the iPhone.
Ok, no reason for not getting it any more. I've always found the setting, style and promised gameplay intreaging, but wanted to play on the iPad as I expect the 3GS to be too slow.
Even with everything enabled in settings, at least the first three missions of game runs pretty smoothly. Love the controls. And the visuals. And mechanics so far.
And now those sitting on the fence can pick it up for the bargain of 2,39 rather than 3,99 (which I got it for on Friday or Saturday, curses)
"Your ship looses energy when colliding with rocks." Did that grammatical error ever get corrected? You lose energy, whereas you can set energy loose with a blast. The correct English is, "Your ship loses energy when colliding with rocks."
Time for some news! For a short period of time Gene Effect will be available for US 2.99$ (2,39) and the complete Gene Effect soundtrack is now available on Bandcamp in high quality, including an unpublished bonus track! The next major update for Gene Effect will include a complete new translation. So no more grammatical errors...hopefully Cheers, Marco Lightstorm3D www.GeneEffect.com
I can't find the relics in the first four missions. How does one know where to look -- do I go over the surface slowly, let the ship scan every inch or do I keep activating the shockwave thing? I've gone through the first mission several times and I still can't find it.
I've only played the first 3(4?) proper missions so far and only found 1 relic and that was by accident. I was doing as you were and random blasting. I hadn't noticed any telltale signs of where one is.
Btw will the game be updated to support playing via AirPlay at some point? I'd quite like to enjoy the games beauty on the telly (sound can currently play over AirPlay but it's about a second out of sync)
Stuck Hi, new the forum and new to the game. REALLY like the game on the iPad 2. I have been stuck on level 9 for quite a while with activating the scanner. I have activated reactor, collected the DNA samples and I found a switch down in the south east cave behind the gate. but I can't get back out of the cave without deactivating it due to the switch in the exit. Is the switch to turn on the scanner. If not, how do you activate the scanner to go west. I've tried everything I can think of but I am stumped. If someone could even give an additional hint it would be appreciated. (sry so wordy!)
You can ignore those switches in the south. If the activator is running and you got all dna samples, you just have to fly to the scanner (its in the middle of the map) and fly through it. The lights on the scanner should also be activated. Just fly into the scanner, its opened to the left and right. When the scanning process is done, the nano door behind (left) to the next cave is opened. Hope that helps Cheers, Marco Windrich Lightstorm3D www.GeneEffect.com
