Nice looking game! I love what you did with the title incorporating it in a neon sign as part of the start animation. And the "slomo", great job!
Just a head up, this is ad-supported right? No ad is showing on me. It says fetching ads but no ads appear, just to let you know. I'm using Nexus 7 by the way.
@yattamove could be something to do with how chartboost handles timeouts. I've run it on a nexus7 as well, and i've noticed if it cant connect after a few attempts it seems to stop trying for a fixed duration. They always come back though.
@marcgreiff
Yup. I see that in my games as well. It seems Chartboost has a timeout before serving another ad after the first one. I guess your game is hard that I die before I make you money. Hahaha!
pHghost is correct! it's a one scene game. Technically, there are loading wheels when the pause scene/show advertisement is called but I hid them with the black "fetch ad" banner at the bottom and a transparent loading wheel.
Originally, I had two power ups in the game, a jet pack and a speed boost, but took them out last minute because I wanted a really distilled, mono-focused experience such as in flappy bird, timberman, etc--just tapping and timing. I really did like the jet pack though, might save it for the eventual reskin of the game.
Tip: for those looking to hide the loading wheel such as I did, make sure your actor is at least 44x44px.
I really like the way you did your ads. I may do the same on a game. I like how it flows. Enjoying the game BTW.
@marcgreiff Great game and I read that you won GOTM also, well deserved
Read the interview and reacted over " I’m especially excited for the new lua free engine"
That is a dead project (dead since over a year from what I've read). Dead in the form that the GS team abandoned that idea and instead focused on optimizing the current lua engine.
@onelasttime thanks for the heads up, what country are you in if you don't mind me asking? Could be related? Your the first person to report a problem with game center, hopefully its just an isolated incident.
@MarcMySalad really? Well that's a little disappointing to hear . looks like I've been away from the GS community a little too long! Well, at any rate, I am really pleased with the performance gains made with the engine, lua based or not.
@pHghost that is very true! Perhaps I tapped into in larger conspiracy at work here?

Turkey.I think this is not a general problem.I'm just getting this warning in your app.
@marcgreiff yes, when CodeWizard went aboard he brought with him super elite haxor LUA skills, or something along those lines, and realized that the current engine could be improved in big ways via LUA and thus the lua free engine was killed off. There are discussions where the GS team basically said so themselves.
First off, the graphics are not sharp, but slightly blurred. I think it might have to do with checking RI (I usually advise not checking it, as it doesn't work flawlessly).
Secondly, in the new version, the black "fetching ad" corner is too small and the loading square peeks over the top of it.

Looks like a great game! Just sad he'll be doing a lot less running with abdominal cancer

@yattamove what country are you in? Ads showing up for me.
@pHghost
You're right! Maybe Apple just got more ads to show than Google. It showed 2 now.

Well, they didn't contradict him in the interview.

@onelasttime are you by chance signed into a sandbox account or have sandbox enabled in game center?
@marcgreiff yes, when CodeWizard went aboard he brought with him super elite haxor LUA skills, or something along those lines, and realized that the current engine could be improved in big ways via LUA and thus the lua free engine was killed off.

when sandbox enabled,I can look leaderboard otherwise same error.this application is not....

Edit...after I loaded the game it says Game Center not supported...and then it tried to fetch an ad for about 3 mins and I gave up.

I am having some issues with the latest version.
First off, the graphics are not sharp, but slightly blurred. I think it might have to do with checking RI (I usually advise not checking it, as it doesn't work flawlessly).
Secondly, in the new version, the black "fetching ad" corner is too small and the loading square peeks over the top of it.
@pHghost, could you upload me a screenshot of the fetching ad issue?
Game Center fixed....turns out I missed the enable Game Center button in ITC. So it should work in the next update, 1.2.1.
Played this game last night and its great. The look, controls, animations are perfect.
