I agree.  Even on max brightness it's a bit muddled. Maybe my eyes are just dumb and slow, but I'm having a hard time with it. I'm bad at runners because I have a hard time focusing on incoming objects and the jittery framerate, blocky, pixely, bleep bloop spriteyness just multiplies the issue.Also I just don't like runners but that doesn't factor into this critique so much. thedouche posted:

The Wall of fire causes a spastic reaction from me, so there's that, usually these runners I could care less if there's an ape or some dino behind me.

The camera angle is also a bit problematic. It's tilted just enough that I have a hard time gauging how close I am to obstacles and I either crash right into them or jump too early.

My inspiration for cats in hats was the tiny cat in a tiny hat eating a tiny ice cream cone. I found the cats looked good in hats, but no other customization really worked on a body that tiny.

Shalinor posted:Anyways, yes, there's a leaderboards crash - I've got a patch in with Apple to fix the problem ASAP, and they've cleared me for an expedited review. That should hopefully hit in a few hours, and with some luck, I can salvage the release window / still get into "New & Noteworthy." Looks like it's in. I was playing during lunch and it suddenly stopped crashing every other level. It's been working great since then.

The battle against the pub bouncers. They only have access to Nightmares as a special, and they invariably form a Nightmare on turn 1 leading to two or three of them launching at me on Turn 5, and I've got 21 hp, so they flatten me. Meanwhile, they have at least 30 hp, so even when I've gotten my nightmares out on the same scale, it's not enough. Really, it's probably the rng being a complete dick (oh, did he form five sets on the first turn? And all my specials are buried under non-matching crap? Great!) and that I haven't unequipped Succubi to join in the Nightmare trample. Which is me refusing to believe the game is so badly designed that accepting free new units screws you completely.

Ok, Jones On Fire should be patched everywhere by now. Update, and you should be good to go. Also, Apple featured us in New & Noteworthy, so that should be pretty dang awesome. If anyone else has any further issues, PM me / email / whatevs. Seems stable though.

Those who have The Pinball Arcade: What's the difference between paid tables and playing the free version? And also I saw some tables have a Pro version available. What is the deal with those? Do they have magnets on the board because screw those.  (I used to play a T2 table during summer school. It was fun until they added strong magnets to those wedge bumpers near the bottom.)

You can try out every table (once I think?) and play until you reach a certain score, then it drops you out. Buying a pack will give you those tables and make them fully playable like Arabian Nights. The pro version will give you access to DIP switches and other advanced features, plus a bunch of extra content like sideart and being able to see the entire machine from all angles, I think.

I thought you might have been talking about the silly cannon fight at the start, but the nightmares arent that hard to deal with, especially with succubi since they have awesome AOE attacks, and fusing them will wipe those guys out pretty quick. I'd have to guess that yes, you are being screwed by the random placements.

Earlier, the App Store was convinced I wanted to patch Jones with my NZ account, even though I'd signed out of that everywhere. Turned out to be a stupid remembered login in one of them that took closing it all down and re-logging-in to fix. iOS likes to attach login state to open background apps, and then refuse to "completely" log out or in. (this goes double if you were one of the testers, or test anyone else's game, and had logged your GameCenter into sandbox mode... that can cause some really screwy things until you close everything and log it all out)

There are exceptions but usually the score limits for the free versions are really really low-- like a minute or two of play's worth. Consider them demos, basically. And, yeah, the Pro versions give you access to operator menus and settings so you can mess around with the tables as you please-- it's cool, but probably not worth it if you're just worried about having something to play on your iPhone -- it's more for the pinball hobbyists.

Congrats on new and noteworthy. I like it, but the dual-currency situation is a little weird -- the rates seem fair enough with the doubler but after buying the first couple upgrades you're pretty much limited to spending your k on consumables which just... isn't that exciting. I guess being able to bump up the hazard level is nice but after spending that initial 3000k it becomes a lot less exciting grabbing cats when you know it's not going to be contributing to your progression in any concrete way.

Dvlos posted:I think there's a problem now on my phone and pad with signing into game center and seeing scores... But no more crashes. Expect another patch in the near future. It won't be expedited, but it should still go through the review process faster than a full app. It'll fix this, and also put the fancy leaderboards back in-place without the elements that were crashing. EDIT: Also, if this leaves anyone dissatisfied, email me at megan@glassbottomgames.com, and I can work out something related to our next content patch as an apology. I'll also be working on this patch over the weekend, and will of course hold the Android release until I've got a new build submitted (though I should be done by Sunday). Hopefully though, it doesn't ruin anyone's fun. EDIT: VV I've no doubt someone's cheating it already. I know for a fact the binary's already on torrent websites too, though why they'd steal a free game is kind of beyond me. EDIT2: and yep, that's right, kind of - jumping while sliding increases distance AND height. It's a risky maneuver, but handy if you're trying to jump a wall not normally jumpable that's downslope of you. It's also just fun to bomb through a stage with it.

Shalinor posted:In the mean time, I recommend working toward the mid-air dash ability, which'll set you up for high scores. Some reviewers found it difficult to use, but I find it the single most important upgrade when it comes to beating the higher hazards. It's your "oh poo poo I'm about to fall on a fire wall" dodge. That's the latest thing I picked up, it seems pretty great. Have I got this right about the jump while sliding, it's for distance rather than height? Also the highest person on the leaderboard at the moment has a ridiculous amount of kitties, haha. I don't even know how to say that number.

Shalinor posted:Try hard-closing (double tab the button, then hold the button) both GameCenter and Jones On Fire. If that doesn't work, close Jones, manually log out of GameCenter in the GameCenter app, then log back in (from either). I'm not quite sure what button you mean. The App Icon? From the screen, or that shows up when I double press the Home/Action/Whatever Apple calls it button? I've tried both options for the icon, and nothing. If I double press the Home button, then hold it, it brings up Voice Control. I'm on an iPod 4G running iOS 6.1, jailbroken. Shalinor posted:(this goes double if you were one of the testers, or test anyone else's game, and had logged your GameCenter into sandbox mode... that can cause some really screwy things until you close everything and log it all out) Yeah, I have TestFlight for PunchQuest, and get Sandbox for it. I logged out, and even deleted the PQ profiles, and nope. It's odd, because other games work just fine with Gamecenter. For example, I just installed Puzzle & Dragons about 2 weeks ago, and it's tracking Achievements just fine. As a matter of fact, I just signed out of GC, rebooted my iPod, and loaded up P&D. It asked me to sign in to GC, and then showed me the Welcome Back, Kheldarn! GC banner. Went in to Jones, and nothing. Tapped on GC, and was told I'm not signed in. Signed out of GC, loaded up Jones, and was again told I'm not signed in, no option to sign in. Also, a quick question: Does Jones not connect to the Twitter app to Tweet scores? Or was using Safari only for the first time, since I had to authorize it?

How the hell do you get the Helping Hand mission to complete?

Is anyone else playing Block Fortress? It's a tower defense/FPS/block building game from Foursaken (the guys behind Heroes & Castles and Bug Heroes). Base building is so much fun in this game and the number of turrets and arms is impressive. Before each wave of enemies you get to build and upgrade your base with various walls, turrets, and other support infrastructure like mines and power generators then fend off ever increasing numbers of enemies. I honestly don't see how Foursaken keeps cranking out the hits but I'm not about to look that gift horse in the mouth! http://appshopper.com/games/block-fortress
