Version 2.0.3 Released

Fixes:

- Improved memory usage
- Force disable image dithering. For users of 2.0.2, let us know if this looks better on your phone than before (most phones will look the same). Depending on feedback, we'll revert the setting or make it an option.

  1. 2.0.3 has the tower boxes stuck on screen again & graphics still looks like a toner spill. I've given up on this game.

  2. Hi,

    I'm loving this game, and I wish to know how many levels it has.

  3. I think there are a few errors with the Survival Mode. I have had highly variable difficulty. The 1st run through I made it to ~lvl 80. 2nd to ~lvl 90 and then on the 3rd almost had lvl 100, but fell a bit short. But now my last 5 run throughs I have died around lvl 50-65. Almost always due to a ridiculous (25-40, hard to tell) chain of the carrier ships.

    I'm not sure if the 1st 3 play-throughs or the rest are what the difficulty was intended to be, but the 1st 3 plays seemed to scale in a logical sense and I had fun. Now though, its almost dumb luck of what will spawn. I have the screen filled with the advanced air missles and 8 teleports at the end and one wave of enemies will wipe out ~30 lives. Suffice to say, that isn't fun at level 60, when I've made it close to 100.

    A separate (but maybe related?) issue is that if you exit to the title in between levels, when you enter back into the game the next wave of enemies will be VERY weak. The score gains reflect this. The wave after this weak wave jumps back to a more difficult level. I've had 600pt enemies jump to 12,000+ pts.

    I really like survival mode and I hope these issues can be addressed so I can continue to lvl 100 trophy and more!

  5. Love the game! Thank you for actually delivering on updates. I own a droid2 and have had no issues with this game at all. You should release a variant on psn to compete with angry birds!

  7. Thank you for making this wonderfull game. It plays well on my HTC Desire HD, there is just one issue I would like to have fixed.

    When I REALLY need to reload the teleport towers, I can just forget it. When there are a lot of jet fighters or fast cars, controls for updating/reloading towes become so sluggish that reloading can only be done AFTER the jets/cars has passed. Which is a bit late. Very often, one or two jets/cars is what separates me from a perfect game, and this usually happends around round 70.

    Second on my wish list would be that when things get so crowded that there are not enough resources to update the graphics AND show/respond to tower update/reload controls, the graphics is the one to suffer instead of the opposite.

    Top on the list is automatic reload of the teleport and mine towers. How about an upgrade where you can get a new option for teleport towers: Automatic reload. This option, of cource, would kill the game if there is no time delay. The delay should be close to what the player is able to do under normal conditions. The time delay could be somethind new to upgrade.

  8. Or maybe preload ten at a time? Or make auto-reload more expensive, but can be toggled.

  9. @Dan - the random spawn is also the bain for me of normal games. I'm in the high 400s and usually lose my perfect game off jets - which randomly appear in the game. I can go 2-3 games without them, then suddenly get 3 waves in a row. Hate it, but it does make the game interesting still.

    @KingLupis
    Thanks for the updates! The mine chain seems to work for me now.

    Re: the graphics - on my Droid X, the basic level still looks off. There is way too much "black" in the background and it kills the visibility of towers/robos. Especially the lower left corner of the board - it's almost all black. The bottom of the entrance is another place - hard to tell where the exact entrance is.

    The other levels look better (but I dont like playing the multi entrance levels).

    Also, instead of the slider on the top for zoom (which I tend to click on instead of the tower I aimed at), can you do the two figure zoom like google maps does?

  10. my evo 4g graphics look awesome with the update.

  11. New version with new achievements, reward points and zoomable graphics is really awesome.

    With my Galaxy S happened really weird thing, for some reason my version is changed to 1.3.0 build 1798 and I can't update it through Market. At Market status is Installed. Now I would like to know what happens if I uninstall it. Is it going to stay bought and with my old save game. Just for sure I copied save game file to my computer.

    Can't wait to get new version back.

    This new version does not like my hero, I want the old graphic system back

  13. Hi Fellows,
    I'm using Samsunf Galaxy I7500 (Android 1.5) and I cannot find the full version of the game on the Android Market? How can I upgrade? I love this addicting game and I want to upgrade, but I cannot... Please help!

    Kind regards,
    huliganrado

  14. Definitely having issues on my galaxy s. even with the high res mode turned off the game play is still stuttery and regularity sticks. also you can't access any of the towers if they are in the top part of the screen as this seems to be only able to access the zoom. in the basic level the background is very dark with way too much dark patches which can make sometimes difficult to make some of the towers out as they get lost in the black.

  15. Love the updates but what's up with the black blotches on the grass on basic level? Makes robots hard to see. I got an HTC Droid Eris.

  16. I love the game. I play it everyday. The new update, however, has made the game run more slowly and looks terrible. The contrast is way too high and hurts my eyes. Plz reduce the color contrast so I don't have to find a new game to play at work!!

  17. Really regretted updated to this version. It is not fun having big tower icons that I thought was fixed and basic level background so bad that I want to unupdate this version back to the previous playable ver 1.4. I would rather have a version I can play and enjoy than one that is totally unplayable. If the update makes it worse please allow users to at least switch back to previous version.

  18. Looks great, but I am getting a lot of crashes on my atrix

    ReplyDelete
  19. Really... I have tried all of the options and cannot get the game to run for more than a few minutes at a time before it dumps me back to the home screen. Is there any way that I could revert back to an older version until the bugs with this new one are fixed? Thanks
    2.2 on Atrix

  20. Please add a checkbox for the option to:
    "tap teleport tower to rearm immediately" (instead of displaying the retarded sell-rearm menu!)
    or a similar toggle on the game screen, much like the zoom slider.
    No, I'm against auto-rearm.

  21. I'm really enjoying the new graphics and unlockables. It's good to see that you continue to support/improve this already-great game.

  22. Note I'm having the same issues Tom is having on my hero 2.2

  23. Please add kill counters to every tower so that we can tell how effective certain towers are in certain spots. This has been my only complaint with this game since I started playing it 5 months ago.
