Ok so I've reviewed 0.6 over and over again and I can't find anything else, aside from the things I've already mentioned. Note: Looking forward to reviewing 0.7. 0.6 really just made the game about luck and not strategy/skill. Sometimes I would get 500 points and other times I would get 50.
The one you have is 0.5. v0.6 is still under review and we hope to get it out sometime this week. I understand the "luck" thingy.. but that was more because there was no gameplay being built yet till 0.5. You may not believe it but 0.5 is actually the same as 0.4 but with a lot of performance improvements. Having said that, wait for 0.6 - we think the gameplay is nailed down pretty well there and is quite close to what the final would be like (of course there'd be tweaks around new audio and visuals as well). 0.7 is actively in development. We have a completely new sound design (the existing sound design was just placeholder) being implemented and some of the things are very exciting. I have a feeling that 0.7 will take us 2-3 weeks to put up for review (after an additional one week review period, it means its pretty much a month away), but expect art and audio in it. We wont be touching gameplay at all. As devs of the game we have a concern though: all the physics, art and audio are going to be very performance intensive. We are almost clocking 100+ cpu on iPod 5th gen and iPhone 4s. On the iPad 4 its close to 70 and is only expected to go up. How would you feel if the game was iPhone5+ (and similar generation devices) only?
Oh woops lol. Its hard to remember the versions numbers. I am used to checking on Test Flight Okie dokes! I'll be waiting for 0.6 I personally am fine with that since I upgrade every other year & I have the latest devices right now. Probably most TA people do the same. But at the same time there are still tons of people out there with iPhone 4s/iPod 5/and the regular iPad Minis. If you guys are able to get it to work on at least A5 devices that'll be great.
Well thats a shame :/ New devices are just around the corner anyways, so I'd expect most people that still use the A5 to be upgrading this year. Its really time for them to upgrade lol Hopefully a better iPod comes out as well, since the youngsters usually grab that along with some apps/games.
So I just released 0.6. It should show up in some time on your App Stores. Remember, since the game is not released yet, this will not show as a regular update. To update to 0.6 from previous versions, you will have to do the following: * Delete the existing Splash Damage app * Launch the App Store app * Go to the Purchases section * Look for Splash Damage app in the list * Ensure that the version number mentioned is indeed 0.6 * Download * Play * Give feedback here
It was fun. I would suggest just a couple of things, none related to gameplay: 1. Incrase the "touch to play" touchable area, it was a bit difficult hitting that sometimes. Maybe cover the entire screen, minus the other interactive bits? 2. Have a single, simple screenshot when you start playing the first time, explaining controls. Other than that, not much. Fun game!
We just released an update to the game. What you played is version 0.5, and version 0.6 should be available on store soon. You will need to delete the app and download it again from the "Purchased" section in the App Store app. Check for version 0.6. Replies inline: This has been fixed with a new menu system in the update. Let us know how you feel about it. This is something we will be addressing in version 0.8. Version 0.7 is all about art and audio. Thanks a lot
