Sounds like a network error. If the application has trouble connecting to your Wi-fi, you'll most likely receive this message. Have you played multiplayer without accepting the invitations?

In fact I can play with random players but just that when I want to join my friends' games, either I find them on the list or when I accept their invitations, the error message shows up. What's more, my friends were once some random players whom I have played with before.

Update: I've just played with my friends and it worked. Not sure what caused the error before.

Update2: Somehow this happens again. Just like in one moment I joined the game and in the next moment I am out of the list of players. Sometimes this happens when I play with random players too. When I or somebody host a lobby, someone would come in and immediately get out of the lobby. When that guy is the third player in the lobby, it would trigger a start of the multiplayer game with just 2 players.

Hey bravo two, that was fun. Too bad mario98 got dropped/quit. Sorry about not being able to help you with those critters, that was super frustrating for me at least, not being able to target anything properly.

As for your connection thing, yeah, that happens to me all the time (but i attribute that to being in china). I can't connect to your games via invite, nor could you connect to my game, but somehow, via random autofill, both you and Mario joined.

Regarding the invitation, we made it this way so that even if you were playing multiplayer alone, you would always know if a friend wanted to play with you. Let me know how it works for you, really excited to see it in action.

Thrilled that you like the update
The game invitation system is fantastic, but it releases the player of control for a split second or so after the invitation is accepted. I think you should allow a force pause until the notification is handled or, have the notification ping as a reminder, requiring no action instead of interfering with game play (while in game)

Krygan! Good to see u! You're not going nuts. I too have this problem that didn't seem to exist previously (i keep shooting over stuff all the time now). I first noticed it on campaign with the spiders, when I felt like mr. Magoo and could only shoot at my toes (but nothing further). Seems to apply to critters as well. Looks like our rpg and shotgun are obsolete for the time being.

I just got back from vacation, hope to see you online!

That was really a great game. I remember last time I played with you, I just got a score of 5 million when you were the #3 player on the leader board. Are you from HK? Because I am from HK too.

I was so excited when you invited me to your game but then there was a connection problem. In fact I waited for a while on the list of friends' games until I saw you and joined your game. That was not a random autofill, at least for me.

I really enjoyed that game and I wish I can play with you again in the future.

Default in-game invitations :-(

Hi Jeppe,

after a few multiplayer rounds, I would say that I find the invitation alarms -during- already running games a real nuisance. I have >50 friends, I'm bombarded by invitations I have to dismiss one by one not at the best moment. I understand the purpose you explained earlier but why not at least follow the system settings regarding notifications. I have mine set on "banners" i.e. small lines on top that you don't have to interact with; Bullet Time forces "alarms" type requiring user's interaction ... bad idea IMHO. And for me, invitations could be totally disabled during active rounds; one isn't supposed to be available at that time.

Kind regards

Finally managed to get online with this and do a little random co-op (no friends playing this sadly). Very, very fun. This is easily one of the best iOS games I've played!

Hopefully we'll see a sequel or more content. Tossing some money the dev's way for this in the cash shop was an easy decision. Great work.

New players and older players, feel free to add me to "Game Center": Llandy. I'll be more than happy to help out at leveling or just grinding diamonds

Thanks for the feedback, good to know. I think you represent a minority with that high an amount of GC friends, but I can definitely understand why this would become a nuisance. We'll take a look at possible solutions, I'll be glad to receive some more feedback if anybody has tried the 'Invite' system.

Well I have to agree, current nitifications are annoying and you're stuck moving to one direction for a couple seconds after you dekline the invitation. The ingame notification should be the same as out of game ones, just in the notification center. When you fighting in wave 19, 20 and you get 5 invitation one after enother its pretty much impossible to be efficent and really easy to die, cuz of being stuck in running one directoon mode.
