Hey Jake,

Sorry to be here posting bad news. :\

BUT I`ve downloaded your game and played it also sufficient to get a score of 4450 points. :slight_smile: BUT is here that the problem started to show…

So as soon as I got around 4000 points and I was still doing very nice in the game (I was with 2 Bob`s) and was with my lifebar full yet soon the game started to be getting SLOW and it got to completely FREEZE my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) and only pressing the HOME button and “killing” your app from the taskbar that I became able again to run it. :\

After that the game runs again but still freeze as soon as you go more far into it.

*Developer Thought Momment*:
As I see it looks like that you`re not cleaning something else from the texture memory of the iDevice and so it just “increases” its size until to finish frozen. Also looks like you built this game using the Storyboard API, if so, did you take care of its cleaning memory, removing timers, etc? Maybe am wrong but I think that if you do use it, you should take care of the right ways of cleaning your memory. Just my opinion btw. Sorry for this info.
Looking forward your success.
Cheers,
Rodrigo.

PS2: Below is a BAD photo I took with other mobile to try to show you where exactly I got your game frozen in my iPhone 4.

@RSCdev, thanks for comment
we used a Director module and we checked a memory usage from time to time to see if there’s memory leak, but it seems that bug got there sometime and we didnt notice it, i’ll try to fix it in update

but bugs aside, did you liked the game?

great to hear, we will try to bring update soon) [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 20070 reply_id: 78409[/import]

@Darkconsoles, sincer:

I liked the game as much as I would try to have the Highest score there and was exactly it I was going to try. :slight_smile:

BTW I love ACTION game (as yours - when you cannot even think about something else!). That`s good IMO!

EDIT: Ahh, I missed exactly it too: the score being saved into the app! It is important for me and in my opinion as well as it get the player to try to beat his own score and so plays more your game. :]

EDIT2: AHHH, I LOVE THE MULTI-TOUCH`s way to play as well!
Cheers,

#10

tell us, what you’d like to see in update, beside fixing nasty bug? [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 20070 reply_id: 78413[/import]

#11

OK, since you open the “features request” channel (lol), lets go:

1)Be able to save my score;

2)Missing a PAUSE button when into playing session;

3)Eventually missing the traditional OF & GC online score.
***The order goes from the more important to the less important IMO only!***

PS: Sure the bug is the more important but above I did not consider the bug itself as I know you guys will catch it up! :]
Cheers,
Rodrigo. [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 20070 reply_id: 78415[/import]

#12

hmm… your highscore should be saving as it is now and remain between sessions [import]uid: 16142 topic_id: 20070 reply_id: 78416[/import]

#13

Yeah! Sorry about that Darkconsoles! Youre right. Its keeping there between sessions.

So forget about the first item I said above.
Thanks,
