Mountainsheep!! Why do'nt you pay any attention to the minigore zombies thread. Please update (news frontpage pic with new characters), or at least reply to people there. Thank you! http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=106217
the physics in this game are a joy to play with! I just really wish there were better more attainable achievements instead of the 3 available.
Edit: My Youtube video of a clean 07:56.043 playthrough of Motherland on expert/baron mode (ipod Touch). This will probably be my last Bike Baron video unless I manage to do it in less than 6 minutes. http://youtu.be/s7BQtPAIrcU In that case, you probably discovered the tactic whereby the bike flies directly from point A, in the first photo, to point B (or further) in the second photo by edging very slowly up to the three boosts while doing a wheelie such that the front wheel can steer the bike clear past the enclosure (the one resembling a series of brackets. Note: A crash/fail occured a few seconds after the first screen was taken, which means the distance between the two points was covered in less than 10 seconds. I haven't finished the level using this shortcut which I found on my own, but unlike the previous "shortcut" which the level creators completely overlooked, this one looks as if it might have been planned.
Can someone explain to me what the fervor is all about with this game and requiring videos to "validate" Game Center scores or whatever? Are there real-world cash and prizes being offered? I've honestly never seen anyone get this worked up over online leader boards in my entire life.
Why should this game's iTunes ad bother to tell prospective customers "Triumph over your friends, then speed your way to the top of the global leaderboard!" unless the developers are willing to implement a fair system that makes adequate use of the resources offered by Apple Gamecenter, or at least accurately represent the inferior system they've chosen as one lacking the level-specific or group-specific time leaderboards found in most iOS games, and not repeatedly increase the requirements for obtaining the same gamecenter achievements that had lower requirements at launch (thus continually increasing the time requirement several times over - some of the new levels are insane when you face them for the first time). If the developers are unwilling or unable to maintain a minimum acceptable quality of game administration given such resources with which they surely could have done better, then the app ought to at least be removed from a gamecenter account when deleted. Bike Baron and its false representation of my plummeting rank kept appearing even after I deleted it, so I got fed up and decided to try completing the game while awaiting an app update that would allow it to be removed - something I've found exceedingly impossible to do on ipod touch (there's no way to sync scores between iOS devices). The frustration of several major level-time improvements of a minute or more not changing my composite score whatsoever (not even the roughly 60k per minute gained when the system is working more consistently) combined with comments by developers or affiliates that such levels are "impossibly easy" made the game more antagonizing than entertaining but, as I said, the game wasn't being removed from my Gamecenter, even though it deserved to be for reasons thoroughly discussed in this thread (e.g. levels being modified in updates long after launch). It is very immersive, however, so much so that I almost forget that the outcome of any competition is meaningless. edit: Once you've read it, you can delete this post if you want on account of its size and irrelevance to the gameplay itself.
All the fervor and requiring videos etc are just one man's crusade. Others just compare their scores and enjoy the battle for the top positions just like in every other game with leaderboards..
We submitted xmas update to Apple! Should be out next week if things go well. Featuring Santa Pack, new ice material and couple of new levels, etc..
Guys I did it !!! Domotown - 33.856. Should make a video and share my tips. P.S.Motherland is also possible for 6 min. Just drop down at the first possible opportunity and drive to the end!
Good to know . Thx! What about iCloud support btw? Still can't play thia on my iPhone without starting all over again. Played on iPad so far.
The only reason I'm posting another Motherland video is that the most recent improvement of over a minute failed to change my composite score on GC .I blame 35.640 seconds of the following 06:35.640 Motherland run (Baron mode) on the gnawing reminder that there's a level flaw that may or may not be removed in the near future. I'm sure this run would have been under six minutes otherwise. Extreme level #4 "Motherland" completed in six and half minutes (06:35.640) on iPod Touch (Baron/Expert mode) http://youtu.be/3sCG4CQ4HpA
