Thank you, @Paul_G. The Loading screen uses timer only when there’s nothing else that should happen before the scene changes to the next scene.

I’ve encountered a bug. While the Game was running and no shot was left, I clicked on the screen and it asked me to end game and skip the 10 second countdown. But then some Beetles were still moving in the background and I scored enough points to earn a Bonus Shot, so I clicked “no” to continue game. Then I wasn’t able to touch anything. I couldn’t abort game but I couldn’t shoot either. [import]uid: 98393 topic_id: 29257 reply_id: 120986[/import]

Hey, @Paul_G, thanks for the report. This is the first bug that’s been reported since the game has been released. I’m glad to know you enjoy the game enough to encounter this. I’d say it’s darn rare to have this come up (and not at all easy to quickly reproduce this experience.)

Anyhow, if you still remember, will you let me know:

  1. What was the countdown state when you tapped the screen to bring up the popup window that asks if you want to skip countdown – was it closer to 10 or closer to 1?

  2. Was the bonus shot awarded? (i.e., did you see one of the shot slot change back to gold on screen?)

Thanks again.

I like the game, too! How does the Loading Screen work? Is it a timer?
