[tes753]

That would be AWESOME! Thanks for contributing!

o,k, But I must warn you, It is really blurry and there are only cerent times that you will know what is going on if you have not played it before.

[tes753]

That's ok. (I own the app BTW) It would be better than nothing.

o.k, here is part 1/3

Weasel, can you sticky this? Just a suggestion.

Is it just me or do the graphics look rather bad?

[tes753]

If the graphics were better, the game would be even more laggy and more battery wasting.

Here's the feedback from the Dutch jury.

• Can you please get rid of the cloud overlapping the design the moment it is determined the solution is correct? If you go for the champion trophy you cannot see what happens any more! You could make the cloud transparent at least.
• If a failure happens in the connection while logging in, the username+password are forgotten. Quite irritating, the iPhone isn't good for entering text. At all.
• With more than a few saved designs getting the list of your designs gets very very slow
• With more than a few saved designs deleting a saved design is very slow
• Please add delete-more-in-one-go
• The level name should remain visible with a saved design. If you want to see other people's solutions and you've forgotten the level name, you're stuck.
• Quite often an uploaded design is not visible in the list of user solutions for that level. Not later, and not after a few tries saving the design with a different name.
• If you save a design with an existing name, FC tells you it already exists, then crashes on Cancel.
• If you save a design, it is not in the list of your designs immediately after saving: you first need to reload the list of your designs. (Which is pretty slow if you have more than a few!)
• Wooden rods are not always as strong as you'd think. Sometimes wheels simply sink through like the wood is quite rotten. Often a reload of the design fixes that.
• Sometimes FC crashes if a stick at the end of another stick is resized to a very very small size. Perhaps a div by 0 error somewhere ;-)

Excellent points, These could be worked on

[tes753]

Good points. I was wondering with the new iPhone 3.0 OS and SDK, if there will be any new added features to the app such as peer to peer or in-app purchases (please don't do this one ) The iPod Touch 2 gen. will be getting bluetooth for the P2P. Just wondering.

[squrl]

Um... Yeah theres a big problem it is crashing every minute when i turn it on soo does anyone else have this problem???

[squrl]

Lol i found 4 balls easy but yeah the physics are alot different when the. Catopults dont need to be nearly as strong

I was really looking forward to this game on the ipod as all i do is go on fc on the pc but it is fulled with bugs, first you cant tell whoch design/level you have uploaded and if you try and upload it again then the game just crashes and also if you have more than 100 designs and want to look at them, the screen just freezes. overall it just compleatly spoils the game and glad that i only paid the £1.79 intorductory price.

And another bit of feedback: it seems that once a level is done being created in the editor, that it cannot be re-edited again. I find this dissapointing because sometimes levels need a tiny tweak to make them perfect, or have an overlooked flaw that needs changed. Unless I overlooked something I think adding in a re-edit feature would be great.

Um. This is fairly embarrasing but: oops

It is being corrected. Updates take a couple days to get through apple's goons though.

Apple's store management is kinda strange behaving. The update rolls out to different territories at different times and they take up to a week to approve any patches.

Ok, it's been almost 3 months. What happened to this update?

Yeah, where's that update?!?

bump for response

[tiggerthecharle]

If I but the app for my ipod touch will i get access to the levels online?

[tes753]

No, the physics are totally different on both platforms, so you won't be able to view PC levels on the iPod Touch or vice versa. You will, however, be able to play other iPhone/iPod Touch users' levels on your iPod Touch.

thanks
