What level, Scooty?

 

[Scootyb]

Scooty, 1436 on Level 10.

But at the moment, I'm in disbelief.

I hit 1433 on Level 1, with a 559 in Hangtime for sitting on someone's head. Shat myself at that. Then got a 700, and I decided to count the rough scores in my head.

L1: 1400
L2: 700
L3: 1000
L4: 1100
L5: 1000
L6: 700
L7: 1000
L8: 1000
L9: 1100
L10: 1000

Ended up with 9042 for this, and I tended to round down, too - pretty sure those were 750-760 odd scores at Levels 2 and 6.

Sure the addition's all good, Mick? Almost danced with joy when I somehow plucked the last mark...upside down. After missing two dots. Thought I was on the verge of five figures.

Also managed another 8800 before that, up to level 9. Maybe the scores aren't including level 10?

(If this random guess is true, I got 1098 on Level 10, which means my best is 10140. )

In an earlier post someone said that level 10 wasn't added up correctly I believe.

I'll have a look at this, thanks guys...those are some amazing scores!

I'm finishing off the first update today. Some fixes include:

* Crash bug for devices running OS3.x is fixed
* Option to turn on or off Gamecenter leaderboards
* Slightly faster loading times

And I'll look into that level 10 addition bug too.

Thanks for all your feedback guys, its really appreciated.

And btw, Specky is now in the top 10 for all paid apps on the Australian app store! We've nearly overtaken Angry Birds

 

[micksolo]

Ok just confirmed that level 10 addition is not adding to the total score, thanks for letting me know and I'll fix that in the next update.

So, everyone...

I'm the first person to hit 10000.

Well done Mick. Great App. Was it just you working on it, or a couple of guys in a Dev team?

WOW that is huge!! I've never got close to that. You must have jumped off the screen, done a double flip and got knocked forward a mile!

 

[micksolo]

By the way, if you haven't done already would you all mind leaving a review on the iTunes app store? Every bit helps

 

[Scootyb]

oh man, i'd love to see a replay of that!

BTW the update is out today! you might find you're able to get slightly bigger style scores as something changed in the engine and I had to re-work how style score is calculate. If there's any problems let me know.

The main thing fixed in the update is the annoying gamecenter popups, especially the authentication complete message. You will also be prompted to log in or log out of gamecenter at the start of the game too.

just stumbled across this by accident the other day.

ive been missing out. still cant get past level 7. havin fun but!!

 

[Seppo]

Just got 1116 on level 1 with 400 hangtime and style points as my guy landed vertically on the front guy and stood there a bit before I managed a somersault forward!

Still can't get past level 7 with the guy spoiling from the front. Do I need a jump power higher than 6 to complete? Struggling to get >300 hangtime on lvl4...

 

[Eth]

Still stuffing up level 10 with the jumps. Either go straight up or straight into the pack while swiping at the same angle. Has happened now on level 7, too.

Not sure if it's a game issue or what...

 

[Scootyb]

Jumpin like nicnat on crack cos im up to jump level 14

 

[Quivorir]

I swear the game ended at 10 for me...even though the menu said I have been to level 12 :s

 

[Eth]

There are two types of levels - the different stages of packs to take a specky over in-game, and the jump level you see at the main menu. The second one doesn't influence the first.

 

[micksolo]

Thats the jump level, each time you complete an objective your jump level increases by 1 and your player will jump a bit higher.
