    That is awesome :D Congrats!

    I'll wait till a few others have finished the game before we start spoiling it I think if that's ok - I do want to hear what you think of the ending!

    BTW - you'll be glad to know you don't have to play through all 100 levels to get the endings for other characters - just 91-100 should do it!

    Also: Hopefully a little cup will have appeared next to whoever you finished it with, so you can tell who you *haven't* finished it with.

    That should keep you busy and away from all that trivial stuff ;)


    I'm glad you think so! I always want to add new things, so Living Colour was fun to put in. In fact, some people prefer the game with that on. It's amazing how 'just giving things different colours' can be seen as a breath of fresh air when you're used to monochrome ;)


    I'd be happy if they felt compelled to write their own reviews - from what you've told me, they kinda like it :)


    IT SHOWS!

    Yeah congrats on the review.

    ...

    How goes the hunt for GC errors? Given what another gamer found that wasn't supposed to be in the game... is it possible the wrong version was uploaded? I've seen that happen with devs before. They submit one version then update the sumitted game before it's reviewed yet the original is somewhow what makes it to the store.

    Just fishing here for a solution. I'm holding off on really diving deep into this amazing game until after the gc stuff is fixed.

    man oh man - what a damn great review. Can't believe some of you guys and gals have made it so far. I've been mental busy of late but have always managed 20 minutes of SOS before bed. I'm working away from home next week so will have plenty time to play. Cannot wait for living colour and godbless Shaun Musgrave.

    Thanks! And thank you for your patience - I'm sorry it's taking so long.

    No, it's the right version that got uploaded (though I am *always* terrified I might upload the wrong version - you're not wrong that it happens).

    The bit that I forgot to take out was just that - something I forgot to take out!

    The GC stuff I've had a look at and I'll continue to work through tonight to see what I can do. I have some ideas and hopefully it'll be fixed and I can send it off.

    Do bear in mind I said this with my last game and totally screwed things up and had to update the update just to make it playable again! :O

    So don't all rush to update when it hits! Check in here for the all clear first ;)

    Cheers!

    QS =D

    (also: Sorry I can't give concrete dates or reassurances that it works or doesn't - I'd love to, but firstly I don't control Apple (believe me, I've tried!) and secondly, I don't want to confidently say 'It's fixed!' and then realise it hasn't been! Even if I believe it HAS been fixed, I will always say 'hopefully been fixed'. It's always possible I've missed something!)

    I really doubt that it will - sorry! It *will* work on an original iPad, but that has more memory than a 4th gen iPod I think.

    Look, it *might* work - but I don't have a 4th gen iPod to test it on - so I can't say for sure - I'm sorry! :O

    Ok thanks for the response. I might buy it. I'll let you know if I buy it and it works.

    I sent my oldest son a link to the game to install it on his 4th gen ipod touch. I can post later if it works and how well later. He has the 8gb version which I believe is the worst version of the 4th gen.

    ...

    I don't need any promises or time frames on the GC fix... just curious where things stand. I'm looking forward to digging deep into this game.

    I'm almost positive the iPod touch 4th gen and the iPad 1 both have 256 MB DDR RAM.
    I could be wrong, but I believe they are each as under powered as the other.

    That'd be great - will help me AND Jared out! Thank you :)

    No problem - I'll keep you updated :)

    Indeed - a kind gesture! :)

    On further reading, you might be right about that - thanks for correcting me.

    However, on even *further* reading, the original iPad had a 1GHZ processor, and an iPod Touch 4th gen has an 800MHz one.

    Either way, I've not tested on an iPod touch - hopefully with nightc1's input we can determine if it's ok or not!

    I gave my son a call. He hadn't checked his imessages yet. He'll download the game in a second and when I find out how well it plays (or doesn't), I'll post as much.

    After the review on the front page I'm going to pick this up as it sounds just like my type of game.

    Well...I'm late to the celebration....*walks in, dusts off a half eaten slice of pizza..takes a bite..finds a slightly used mug of tea **long, slow sip**.. walks around and sees a bunch of TAers in another room all dancing around Sheepy..**long sip**.. joins in the festivities..


    Hey congrats QS! Man, if a game and developer were ever deserving of such a well written review here on TA, it's AS S.O.S., and you. Awesome stuff!
