Which quest are you looking for? If it's the hitchhiker that's not a quest, you buy it for 100 utopium from the gene bank. I've only got 191 of the professions so I could be talking out my rear end, though.

If you can see it but it won't let you activate it then I don't know what to tell you.

Thank you! We tried to tune the game that it isn't that hard to crawl through with 1 and 2 stars, but we wanted it to be fun for hard core players to go for the 3 star prizes.

Do you find going for 3 stars good hard or too hard?

It's not too bad. Kinda how Angry Birds you need to find the precise angle to shoot the one bird you can use to get high enough of a score. Seeing the battles happen and getting a feel of where you weapons will hit then stopping and making a quick change is fast and painless enough that I don't even process "I'm doing the same poo poo over and over and over again".


iron_weasel posted:

This is my opinion but why does the icon need to have the title in it when you get to see the title right under it? You can go for a more eye-popping icon of the little dude or closer view of the ship with everyone in it. And "rigotnautsipad"? Really? It's an iPad only title! If it's installed you can assume that it's on an iPad. Capitalize that poo poo "Rigonauts" or even "Rigonauts HD" (should you ever make an iPhone version) would look better.

Cytus is pretty good. You hit dots that appear in time with a bar that sweeps up and down the screen.
There's also DDR Dance Wars but it has an annoying stamina timer that limits the amount of missions and battles you can do per day, which are required to unlock new songs.
Symphonica is fun if you're into classical music. It has a story and unique control scheme.
If you're made of money, check out Theatrythem. You can unlock everything for the low, low price of $150.

Nothing has topped DJ Max for me yet. I've been playing it pretty consistently since it came out and haven't gotten bored of it yet. Gotta keep improving my high scores.

I can't blame you for that, but malicious people ruin things for everyone. For every good reason a developer would have for changing things like this, another would use it to pull a bait and switch scam app like they used to do with changing screenshots and descriptions after it was approved.

Might & Magic, Duels of Champions is a really well fleshed out card game. Better than the Order and Chaos one. Also it has a PC version with shared accounts so that's cool.

I worry about the IAP pack buying. But if there is a PC version with shared accounts, then i'll reinstall it. Do I have to play other people or can I just play the AI like I can in the DOTA-like Order and Chaos?

I know why they do it. But I have been making games longer than their was an iOS App Store so I feel resentful about being treated untrustworthy.

My other bit of fun, is that some changes on Apple's end is allowing people to buy our game on the iPad 1s which we meant to lock out. Now I am getting angry folks who are mad they can't play the game I didn't mean to sell them. This isn't going to help our review scores.

I trust you!

Also - if it comes up, being rotation aware is always a good thing. I'm not even talking horizontal vs vertical, I just want to be able to play with the volume buttons on the top.

And since I'm whining - after the first few levels I wish it'd stop building my vehicle for me, I replace and move the struts and wheels - stop making me work so hard!

Sometimes I think I should be able to group move things - but I don't see how that'd work with the interface.

Sooo, $2 well spent - I hope this does well, it's a lot of fun.

That is a good point, we might try to slip that in an update.

That one is interesting. We used to keep ship designs, but players would get less inclined to make changes if their new design wasn't working (basically, they were happy to add to the ship, but less willing to delete). By clearing the ship at the start of every level it alleviated this problem. However, didn't help players who realized the base ship was kind of lame.

Doesn't fix the problem, but at least you know the reason.

You can move or rotate all the things that are linked together. Use the two buttons in the lower middle of the dingus.

Rigonauts HD Technical Note
If you are within site of this forum please be away for two tech issues:
1. This game was not made or tested with iPad 1 but a recent change in Apple land meant that iPad 1 users can buy the game. Please avoid.
2. The game is a bit resource intensive. If you find it kicking you out try rebooting the device and running without other apps in the background.
