You can make local achievements that would unlock as part of the game (alongside Game Center for people with OS4). That would be the best option. How do you feel is the best way to play the game on the iPad?
Thanks Lucrezio87. I know I keep saying this - but words like that is what keeps us going (well that and food). Touchgamer3g, yep, something we will have to discuss. I play with the iPad in my lap, touching with my index finger and sometimes also middle finger (with two fingers, yep). In other news: I just set a personal hi score and I'm now ranked 4th in the world with a score of 3628
If you have a chance, I would love to see a gameplay video of you playing on the iPad to learn some tricks on how to play best I have a suggestion for a future update: Have you considered adding a shop where you can buy power ups with coins you would collect scattered in the game? Some of the powerups could include extra speed, bouncy pogo stick, laser to counteract alien's laser beam, etc. By the way, I am having a ton of fun playing Kosmo Spin!
This game is fantastic. Great art style, fun game, and there’s a witty sense of humor in all of the dialog. At first, I was playing on my iPad with my index finger, swiping up and down on the side. But I’ve had much better luck leaving my finger on the screen and using a circular motion. Sure, it sometimes obstructs my vision this way, but it allows for much faster rotations, and it means that you’ll never have to pick up your finger to start another swipe. This is especially useful when you fill up the breakfast-o-meter. Here’s a few comments on how you could polish this up just a bit. Most of these are just little suggestions about the translation. The swiping to change pages feels very unnatural. It requires way too much effort. You should try to model your swiping algorithm after the one implemented by Apple in the photos app. (This in no way affects the game. This is just overall spit and polish.) The description for Quest 3 needs a rewrite. I’m pretty sure there’s a missing verb or something there. “Nowadays you young’uns might (BE?) able to survive 15 seconds. Quest 6 has some great Valley Girl dialog. But you should probably add a couple of commas. Instead of “Is it just me or are those flying balls like really large and stuff“, it might read better as “Is it just me or are those flying balls(,) like(,) really large and stuff? This is how you write it in quest 20. Also, I think “Woah” is a British spelling of “Whoa”. This is discussed in entirely too much detail here. Quest 7 has a reference to “footballs” that you might want to localize for the yankees. Quest 15 says “tennisball”, but that’s usually spelled as two words. Quest 16 says “1 of the best number must be 3.” You probably want “1 of the best number(s) must be 3.” Quest 18 says “That might be problem if you’re going to head 5 of them in 30 seconds…” You probably want “That might be (a) problem if you’re going to head 5 of them in 30 seconds…” Quest 21 says “basket balls“. This is usually spelled as one word. Quest 24 uses the British spelling “favourite”. For the US release, you’ll want to use “favorite”. Quest 25, you should probably capitalize “ufo” so it reads as “UFO”. UFO is properly capitalized in Quest 27 and elsewhere. Quest 26 says “If it’s not a to big of a hassle for you…” You should at least change the “to” into a “too”. Also, I’m unsure if the “a” in “If it’s not a to big of a hassle” is a translation error or if it’s just a quirky way of saying what you’re saying. Quest 27 again references “footballs”. You might want to change this to “soccer balls”. Either way, though. Quest 28 says “basket ball” instead of “basketball”. Quest 35 says “Could you like… Survive 50 seconds”. You probably want “Could you, like… survive 50 seconds”. You might even want to replace the ellipses with a comma. Sorry to be so pedantic. I just figured that your game is so nice, it’s a shame that there’s a couple of problems here and there. But worry not. Your English is infinitely better than my Swedish. I hope this game makes you truckloads of money.
We actually have plans to make a "super skills" trailer, filming the iPad and iPhone when playing. The problem is picture quality, it's hard to film device screens if you don't have proper equipment and light. I've been trying out with different (pretty good) digital cameras, but it seems I get flicker no matter what i do. Does anyone have experience with this? This is the best feedback ever. Thank you sooo much! We'll start working on the update today, so these text issues is the first things I'm going to fix.
Hohoho! Simogo santa here! Christmas is getting closer. So from today we're giving away one or more promo codes every day in this thread. That's right. Kosmo Spin for free! First come, first serve. Let's start with two: L7ANR6PX9W7K 3F93NHEWKTLP Remember, these only work if you have a US iTunes account. And please, if you take one: Reply so that everyone knows that it's already used! In other news, we've started working on the update! There's lots of little neat things in it, that I hope everyone will like.
We have not yet decided. If we do a "Lite" version we want to do something unique with it, so it's not simply a demo, but an experience in itself.
Game Impressions I like the game, love the spin controls, but am curious...am I right in assuming the big points come from juggling the balls? Can I make the balls hit things like the satellites for even bigger points?
Well keep your eyes open, because secret Simogo santa may strike Those are only background things Yep, ball streaks is the way to score high. Hitting the ufo with a ball or letting the balls bounce in to eachother ( :O ) is another way to get some nice scores. As well as making sure to fill the breakfast-o-meter!
Is it time? Yes. I think it might be. Secret Simogo Santa is back from outer space with a promo code. Be quick! and please, do reply to this messege so everyone knows it's taken.
