Version 1.3.0 Released

Version 1.3.0 of Robo Defense (free and full) has been released.

This release adds a new "dropper unit" which is available at difficulty levels 10 and higher.

The release also fixes a crash bug that can occur if you drag a unit off the bottom right corner. The Titan unit's health has also been increased.

Enjoy!

  1. I have a problem with the latest update. The text on top of the screen during a game flickers random characters constantly. I have a rooted, overclocked (1ghz) moto droid running cyanogen 5.0.8.

  2. I forgot to mention, I did an uninstall/reinstall to no avail.

  3. I was wondering if it would be possible to put your APK on our app store for our device. You can check us out at www.entourageedge.com Since our device is larger than five inches we are unable to have the official google market.

    Thanks a bunch!

  4. Dearest Kinglupis,
    Thank you for such an excellent game + continual content updates. I am so happy to destroy new baddies....Robo Defense is the BEST game for the droid system to-date.
    Thank YOU!

  5. My issue is that I cant seem to spend my points anymore. I have beaten level 2 but now when I click on spend my points nothing happens. Anyone else having this issue?

  6. With a touchscreen, it's a little too easy to misplace a new tower sometimes / screen thinks finger lifted up, etc. Per chance that the code could be adjusted to allow full price liquidation within 5-7 seconds of initial tower placement? Less frustrations, more fun.

  7. yah it looks like a UFO and drops other units....makes the battlecruisers look small....fairly weak but if it gets behind your lines it will keep dropping guys making you take 3+ units worth of dmg

  8. I'm having the same text flickering issue on my moto Droid with Cyanogen 5.0.8 OC to 1.1ghz. Please fix soon. I love your game!!!

  10. Love your game play most days!

    Would you be able to add an arcade mode - that way you can keep playing the same level untill you run out of lives instead of untill reaching round 100 and then have a global scoreboard?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Is there a way to uninstall the update and go back to the previous version?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love your game, but have been experiencing two types of problems. Around Explosive level 50, I would get my upgrade, but get points added to my upgrade totals because the cost of the upgrade was negative. Pressing the upgrade again, gave me another upgrade, and further increased by funds. After 6-8 upgrades, I finally would lose upgrade funds.

    Also, above game level 1200, after winning it eppears that either bonus for health or bonus for remaining funds is not being added.

    This happened both with 1.2 and 1.3.

  13. I live in Norway, and we still do not have marked. Is there a way for me to buy the game directly from you?

  14. Dear Sir,

    I'm trying to contact you regarding distribution opportunities of your product. I'm working for AMA, a top ten mobile games & apps publisher, belonging to Guillemot Corp.

  17. I absolutely love this game! I played it for hours on end for days as I recovered from surgery recently. The only thong is I switched to an iPhone 4 and I'm desperate to keep playing. Can you please create an iPhone 4 version? It would sell incredibly well! Please please please.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm also having the flickering issue. can't see any stats score or lives left. It looks like chinese characters that flicker randomly. I'm also running cyanogen

    ReplyDelete
  19. How can I delete my data files and start fresh?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have all 57 achievement points ... now what?

    ReplyDelete
  21. I too am having the text flicker issue. Uninstall and reinstall don't help. Worst of all, it seems to randomly close the game on me. Sometimes it hasn't closed for 3+ hours, other times it closes in less than a minute. I am running a G1 with Cyanogen 5.0.8

    ReplyDelete
  22. Those with the text issues, this is a cyanogen issue, not a robo defense one. Install the patch that cyanogen provides.

  24. Superb game. Very well executed, thanks!
    One issue I've got which is pretty serious because it's drained my battery a couple of times now:
    On Nexus One/Android 2.2
    1. Run game
    2. press button on top of phone (lock/turn off screen)
    3. press button on top again (turn screen back on)
    Result: Screen stays on until the battery dies!

  25. Hi, really great Game.
    I'm playing on an Samsung Galaxy S and found two issues.
    1) As John said before it drains battery as hell. Playing for about 30 minutes consumes about 40% of the battery
    2) Sometimes the game hangs for a second or two, especially when the last Enemy of an level gets killed. I play the game on an HTC Hero before which did not had these lags.

    But so far a really really addictive game :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I bought this game on the android market and have been charged the $2.99, but am not able to download. I am stuck in "authorization hell" (Google that and you'll see it's quite the phenomena). Lupis won't give me my money back or give me a workaround. Google says it's Lupis' issue, although I am skeptical of that. But I'm stuck in the middle, $3 poorer and without this app, which I really want. What am I supposed to do?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Is there any chance that Robo Defense would be released on the iTouch. Because to tell the truth this is a much better tower defense game than any on the iTouch. This game would be a great addition to the app store. Thanks

  33. Great game, i've played it for a long time. But after updating to Froyo (Android 2.2), I'm getting the same flickery text at the top of the screen others have mentioned in this post. I really can't play the game effectively if I can't read my health and money. I did pay for the game, so i'm hoping for an update soon.. I'm playing Tower Raiders until this gets fixed.

  34. Hi, i buy the full version of RoboDefense. BEst Mobile Game ever! But since V1.3 it crashes from time to time. At this time there is no other Programm running on my HTC Desire. Crashes comes after 5 minutes up to 30 minutes while playing. I had no Idea about it.

  36. Found some bugs in 1.3.0 in Achievements.
    a) If you play a game without guns, this achievement is not counted ;(
    b) If you buy upgrades three times, the update button is disabled. However, if you buy a different update, the button gets enabled again, though nothing happens on clicking.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My phone crashed. How can I download again to reinstall?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Minor bug (Motorola Droid).

    If you click on a tower to upgrade (which causes the three tower options to lower off the screen) but then decide not to upgrade by pressing "back", the three towers are not scrolled back up to the original location.

    ReplyDelete
  39. It would be great if you put it somewhere on alternative method to purchase the full version than android market, as there are alot of users like myself, that don't have access to paid apps on the market.

  40. dont create an iphone\itouch version!! its there fault for being apple fan boys!

  41. Hi! I'd like to purchase the game, but unfortunately I can't access (find) it in the market. Buying though Appbrain doesn't work either. That's really sad. Isn't there an other way to buy this game?

  42. I am having the same problem as Jachens, has this game been removed? I have been playing the free version and really want to upgrade...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hello,

    Like many others amongst the world, I'd love to buy the full version. And you guess it, I am living in a country (Belgium) where paid apps market is unavailable...

    Can't you provide an alternative way to buy the game? Thousand of people would be happy to reward your efforts.

    Even worse: you don't communicate at all about this issue. Tens of posts about this, and no answer, not even in the FAQ.
    Do you read comments? ;-)

    Please, clarify this situation.

    Anyway, thumbs up for this great game!!!

  50. You've done a great job with Robo Defense, having completed the free version I had no qualms about upgrading to the full. It's so addictive!

    Good job.

    ReplyDelete
  51. How to buy it? I live in Sweden and FFS Google Market still does not allow to buy apps...

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great game! Two bits of feedback:

    1: Once you get into higher levels (I'm at 450), the upgrade box animation gets in the way. For instance: I have a bunch of teleport towers. Along comes like 20 jets. I need to constantly re-arm the teleport towers. However, every time I tap a teleport tower, the option box "zooms in" to view. With so many sprites on-screen at once, this zoom takes several seconds, giving the jets plenty of time to zip on by, causing me precious lives lost. Please consider an option to remove the zoom-in animation of this dialog box.

    2. My kids sometimes play. As such, they like to reduce the skill level to maybe 1 or 2. However, the level up-down selector cannot be held in. It has to be tapped multiple times. So for my kids, that's almost 450 taps to set the game up for them, and another 450 to get it back. It would be super-convenient to allow the up/down arrows to be held in for an accelerated level change.

    Thanks again for a great game!

    ReplyDelete
  53. The game is great, I got it for my son, but sadly the phone had to be replaced. Does that mean I have to purchase it again for the new unit?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Is there a higher definition version coming out for phones like the droid x?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Only glitch I have is it doesn't go back to the main menu once I beat a level, it just sits on the victory screen or randomly reloads it to do the same level again.

  56. Hi there,

  62. To everyone that cannot buy Full version (in fact you cannot buy any application), there is explanation:
    http://market.android.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138294
    To buy Full version in restricted country you need to install MarketEnabler:
    http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/
    To install MarketEnabler your phone need to be rooted. Rooting phone is not easy (even don't ask how do that in comments - use google) and you will lose warranty.

  63. I just got my last achievement, yay! The hardest one was "risk taker". Eventually I played on a low level and let all of the baddies through until I had one life left, then built a stack of towers so that I could still win the game. Great game guys, looking forwards to the next update.

  64. @Daniello, I am in Ireland where I should be able to install it. Meanwhile, it just DOES NOT appear in the android market. Just the free version.

  68. When is RoboDefense going to support being moved to the SD card on Froyo?

    It only needs a quick change to the manifest and doesn't stop it working on older versions of Android - and makes all your Froyo users much happier.

    When are you going to support the Move to SD card function in Froyo? It's very easy to do, and it'll still work on older versions of Android.

    See http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/android/move-to-sd-card/ for a tutorial on how to do it.

  69. Suggestion: Maintain a log/list of played games .. I m never able to keep track of what level I played last or what result I had for a particular field setup.

    Dropdowns to filter game logs by won, level, map,time taken etc would be really cool..

    Thanks for a great game

  72. Hello. Awesome game! I also have a display problem. When I first started playing, the maps displayed correctly. Now, the map image seems to be about 80% of the original size. The units do not come out of the screen in a location that corresponds to the map. I seem to remember that I used to be able to scroll the screen in all directions but now I can only scroll up and down.

    Original Motorola Droid on Verizon.

    Possibly something to do with the higher resolution support for newer phones?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Awesome game. I spend hours playing and on occasion it has beaten sleep on the "how to spend my time" :P

    I was wondering, could it possible to have an upgrade for the mine and teleport where the arming is automatic (for a tad higher price instead of $5 as fee for auto arming). This would come in handy when you have multiple items that need to be armed quickly and can't scroll across the map quick enough to accomplish it.

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I have a bug too. I love the game! just bought it and am hooked already! However the bug I have on my X10 is that sometimes (i've only noticed this when clicking on a tower to upgrade) the tower buttons to add a new tower go off the screen, and I can just see the top of the buttons to click on the tower I want, by memory....

    Great game but annoying bug :P

  77. Bug report: EVO on Damage Control ROM 3.5. I installed LCD Density app and was playing around with non-standard dpi values. I suspect Robo Defense upgraded while I was running at 200 or 220.

    Now, RD seems to be "stuck" showing only part of the map, with the tower buttons very small. Scrolling the screen does not work. Dragging up only shows a black bar across the bottom. You can't dragging left does not move the map at all.

    I've tried an un install / re install no change.

  78. The best game on phone ever, thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  79. I REALLY enjoy this game, but I'd love to see some stats for units. I.E. What's the base HP, and rewards for destroying said unit and what the multiplier is for increasing levels. Also, I'd love to see a break down of the damage caused by the different towers and the results of upgrading it (and purchasing upgrades via reward points)

    ReplyDelete
  80. Dear King Lupis,

    Great and addictive game. Shame you can use only creditcards for full version. Lots of people would like to be able to pay through paypal. Getting a creditcard just for this game makes no sense (but being tempted though :-)).

    This game is awesome, very nicely done. Do you have any plans for saving a game to a file so that you could play one game while not impacting the saved game? I told my daughter I wouldn't play until she finished her game and it's killing me not being able to play right now! If I could save her game and start a new one, that would be the bomb.

    Awesome work.

  89. I am on an unrooted stock EVO running 1.3.0 Build 1798. i have found that using the fast forward feature while playing lets more of the bad guys through. i tried it 5 different times, starting on level 3 putting 5 machine gun turrets up. letting the game progress at the normal speed, i get through 5 or 6 waves without anyone getting through. if i fast forward through each wave, buy the 4th or 5th wave at least 3 bad guys get through. Is this a bug or is it by design? makes me wonder how many games i would have won if i just let it continue at normal speed!

  95. Enable the game for SonyEricson X10 mini, it works, I can root for it! Tested the free version, got it through appbrain.com, and it worked flawlessly. The problem is now, I can't buy the full version from the store, it's locked for my cell! The appstore is unlocked in my region (Sweden), but I can't buy it, 'cause it's locked for my particular brand of phone! If you can solve it, do it, you could miss out on a big audience if you don't!

  96. Just wanted to say I love the game and hope that more updates and additions are being worked on such as different maps and more towers. Also, just a small idea but after upgrading a tower to its maximum, it would be nice to see its stats, ie. power and reload ratings. Thanks for making an awesome game!

    ReplyDelete

  102. Hello,

    I work in a group within Motorola called Application Delivery and Discovery. I would like to speak with someone in your organization about your catalog of android applications, and how we could provide you with the ability to reach millions of Global users.

    We would like to list your catalog of applications on our Motorola application store "SHOP4APPS". It is preloaded on the handset and can be accessed via the desktop. The store is currently shipping on all Motorola handsets in China and Latin America.

    We can help promote your applications by:

    Listing your applications on MOTOPICKS which is Motorola's listing of preferred apps
    Main Feature Banner Promotion (730x250) or a (125x125) on our desktop site
    As a company we've committed to Android (with the DROID, DROID2, DROIDx, Defy, CHARM,Cliq, Backflip, etc.) and we are obviously excited to see the quick growth of the Android market and the new opportunities that this is bringing Android developers. The Android market has grown tremendously over the past year. It's now the 2nd biggest smart phone platform after Apple.

    We also have great tools to assist Android development, in particular MotoDev which has everything you need to develop for Android such as technical docs, virtual test labs, etc.

    MotoDev: http://developer.motorola.com/

    Please feel free to email me with any questions or to discuss this opportunity further.

  106. Can someone help me please? I'm trying to reach higher levels and earn all achievements but I have some problems. I figured upgrading rocket towers would be the best bet as they do the most damage, but upgrading explosive damage now costs 5 million points, and I only make about 1.2 million per game (at level 60). Do I have to play 5 games for 1 upgrade? Do I have to play even more than 5 games for 1 upgrade in the future?
    At this pace, how is it even remotely possible to reach levels like 150, 200 and 450 that I keep reading about? I simply can't imagine. That would require literally hundreds of hours of play.
