    Installed latest versions for reg. and lite. I will spend the next 2-3 hours ..at least to test them.

    No comments on previous builds I experienced no bugs.

    I love the screen shots for the store.

    Nice screens! I know I don't like it when devs try to squeeze multiple images into one screenshot but here it's ok because you can actually, clearly see everything.

    Thanks, I wanted to add more to them as I didn't think just showing 5 fullsize puzzles would do the game justice.

    Thanks

    Thanks, I appreciate it.

    I'll email them now.

    No news is good news, right? Keep looking though, I'd hate for something to be found once it's on the store.

    Cool. Glad you like them. Blockees has developed a nice identity now with the screenshots, the promo video and soon the new website.

    Nice music!

    The music makes me feel relaxing while playing the game
    But, can you make the volume slider bars for both sound and music?

    Someone has reported a crash in the lite version (which actually means both versions as they run off the same code base) so we need to find it. I will not get rate down due to some stupid crash.

    "Crash in Lite version: rainblocks puz. 4 or 5 not sure which. Unable to reproduce it. I tried solving 1 puzzle, but before i did i returned to menu to try another one 4 or 5 then crash."

    I'll see what I can do.

    Suggestion for blockees lite

    After finishing all free levels, make a screen that shows what features' in full screen with back and buy button

    I'll see what I can do.


    Also, can everyone also download and test the light version. I can see that only 3 people have downloaded that one so far. The lite version is probably even more important than the full version as it will be downloaded many more times than the full. If that version gives a bad impression I'm screwed.

    Thanks.

    No, didn't include you.

    I have a total of about 30-35 beta testers. I lose track. However, it seem for most it is just an opportunity to get a free game and you never hear from them again. This wouldn't be a problem if Apple didn't limit the devices you can have registered on your account. When you only have 100 devices to play with and work on several different type of apps that all require different testing groups it gets a bit tricky.

    I do really appreciate the feedback I get from you guys. And when the final app is ready it will be the people that have provided feedback in this thread that get mentioned in the game if not more.

    The lite version is pretty good, it gives you a taste of the game without giving you to much. Sometimes when developers do lite versions they give to much away.

    I like that in the home screen for the lite, when the blocks fall they land on the logo for available on the app store, I thought that it would fall right through it :D

    Liking the music. Sounds a lot like something that Apple would use.

    okay, Iv'e tested the hell out of the lite version. completed all levels, played through with other apps running, without apps running, with wifi on, with wifi off, airplane mode on etc etc and I never got a single crash so I don't know why it crashed for that person

    I'm not really sure why I'm getting crashes either. I'll try some different things, but at the moment I can't pinpoint the cause - happens randomly, and only in the full version.

    I did play through the whole lite version (achievement! holla! ;)) and haven't found anything that needs to be fixed. I think you're good to go on that one!

    And I've already voiced my opinions for the full, so for me right now it's as perfect as it's going to get.

    Problems with hints?

    It seems like there's some problems with hints
    During solving period, it you go to the menu, you'll need to buy your next hint for your previous hint
    And once, it seems like I'm able to swipe and lose during solving, causing after getting the hint, I will still can move sad blockees around.

    If you are getting crashes as well can you make a note of exactly what you are doing prior to the crash. This is really important. Also, what device are you using?

    Ok, I'll look into this.
