(Incidentally, you got a little bit of positive coverage here at the weekend.)

Have you updated the app to the last LITE version (1.2.2)? The version before had a bug in the leaderboard submission (I was using the full version leaderboards IDs). If this is the case, I'm sorry to tell you that your previous scores are lost and you have to play the levels again to submit new ones.

Again let me know. And thanks for the link!

WHOPS! I've almost overseen this precious piece of software! Cool. FINALLY something different.

And it's not so difficult, I made the training field in 3 min 12 sec. Some kind of touch curling that resembles a bit Osmos. Just make short and often wipes away from the square (pull it to where you want it).

Thanks for the freebie and thanks for the tA thread! Wrote a short review in my blog and Austrian App Store. FIVE STARS! Everybody should get Be2 esp. since the full version is still free (I hope it will stay free for another 24 hours or so at least).

DON'T MISS THAT FOLKS!

Highly recommended!

Controls are not unresponsive: I only have to do more pratcice.
I'm using Joystick controls: I feel it better than slide mode.

The only thing I cannot controll well is the turbo: it's not intuitive to slide with 2 fingers and I cannot understand quickly if I had activated it or not.

If I had e better english I would explain you what's the real trouble I'm sorry

Actually I'm in the underground world: I think it's the third. I've played it 4-5 times but I am not able to complete it yet

There is a BAR who says me "YOU CANNOT PASS! WAWWAW"

To control the turbo, it's better if you touch the screen (anywhere) with the hand not using the joystick. I'll add a visual turbo feed back in the next update.

Anyway, the turbo is not needed in any level. You can pass each one without using it at all.

For the dungeon, first, do not belive what paddles tell you . Second, if you need it, in a previous post in this thread I've written a simple walkthrough for the level.

Be seeing you!

You're welcome.

One of the best freebies in the last hours and days without any doubt. Needs (or better: deserves) some stylish polish in the graphics and menues maybe but who the hell cares if the gameplay is excellent and brilliant. Thank you again for skilly divertimento!

Be2 makes fancy use of the top-notch touch features of our beloved devices! Exclusive! Better than Osmos: 27 of the by everybody favored achievements in Game Center!

Short wishlist: How about some multiplayer mode(s)? With multiplayer you would make really make furor in App Store/Game Center! There are not many good multiplayer games out yet. Maybe with round-based rules like Curling or some realtime battles.

And of course: Make it Universal-App. Thx in advance.

This is one of the most ridiculously frustrating game I've ever played. And yet I cant stop playing it. Completely agree with gabrien's impressions here. This something really unique. Was almost about to delete it coz I couldnt figure out what the hell was going on in the first 2 times I tried this game. Really glad I decided to gave it one last chance. A must have IMO. It does take a lil time to get the hang of the controls but after that, its a joy to play through this game. Beware though, its still not an easy game. Worth all the trouble and frustration though.

Just wish it was universal or there was an ipad version already. Any ETA about that? I have already played the first few levels but I can wait a couple of weeks if there is an ipad version coming soon. Playing in 2X mode isnt really as fun as full HD version can be

Thing is though, I saw more imagination and heart in the first half hour of play here, than I have in probably the last 50 games I've tried, collectively

I'm really glad you are enjoying my game! For sure it is not a easy game in any sense, but as you say, IMHO it has a lot of depth and rewarding experiences!

An iPad version was planned. Sadly the low sales made converting it to universal a time investment I can not afford. And I'd really love to see the game run at full res on an iPad! May be some day, who knows!

Thank you so much for the time you spent an my little game! And try to reach the end of it, so you'll know the answers to why 3042 is not a number, where are all the other little square balls and from where the devil paddles are coming!

Be seeing you!

It sure does.

Ya, I was afraid that might have been the case.

I'm definitely gonna finish it. Wish it had sold well enough to add the iPad version and more levels though. Still a great game and highly recommended to just about anyone who wants to try out something absolutely unique.

Totally forgot about this thread haha! Just wanted to say thanks for all your troubles, kismik. It's now working great.
