Game works well, congrats. Startup screen was awful long though. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 8436 reply_id: 30239[/import]

Thanks! :slight_smile:

What device/OS are you running it on? The startup screen for me lasts about 1.5 seconds.

iPhone 3Gs, iOS 4.3.1

First play it took probably around 7 seconds to startup. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 8436 reply_id: 30246[/import]

Ouch! Okay, thanks for the info. I just “bought” it new on my iPad2 and it took at least 3-4 seconds the first time, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Subsequent launches were much faster.

I wonder if connecting to Flurry and OpenFeint and stuff just takes a toll? Not sure when that all happens during the launch process.

Downloaded and gave you 5 stars. Also clicked on the ads a few times :slight_smile:

Not a show stopper but if you go into the level select list and scroll to the bottom then back up, when you press the back button it just sits on a black screen. If you press back again it then finally goes back to the main menu. First time I did that I was sitting at the black screen for a while because I put my phone down and didn’t realize. Using an iPhone 4. Great job. Can’t wait to see the code. [import]uid: 31262 topic_id: 8436 reply_id: 30312[/import]

Thanks for the 5 stars! And don’t get too aggressive on the ad-clicking - if they spot something that looks like click-fraud they can cancel my account. :slight_smile:

And THANKS for the bug report – I saw that happen once and couldn’t repeat it – I didn’t know you had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list for it to happen. Yeah, not a show stopper, but annoying enough to fix. I’ll get that in the next update.

Thanks! Graphics are a combination of PlanetCute from LostGarden.com (also seen in Walkabout) and art from Dwayne Ferguson, DIEHARD Studio Entertainment.

This is cool – was just browsing the App Store and I see my game on the front page of iPad Puzzles (and iPad Family) in New and Noteworthy!

So cool to just stumble across that! :slight_smile:
