[Audyssey] Blindfold Breakout questions

2015-12-08 Thread dark 
Hi. 

I've  just tried this out. I did mean to earlier, but my life has been sort of 
a bit hechtic of late, however as I'd like to see if I can do my usual december 
the 24th audiogames.net database upgrade, (plus I have lots of long journies 
ahead), I thought I'd give this a go. 

As to the game itself, I'm really  liking how the ball moves and bounces 
around, actually a lot like the original, particularly getting the ball into 
the back corner to do the multiple brick bouncee of doom! 


Definitely a great remake of a classic. 

However, I do have a couple of questions. 

The first is as regards calibration. I'm not sure if I moved my arm around 
enough during the tutorial, is there a way to repeat calibration or do I need 
to repeat the tutorial level? 

Secondly, about these coins.  
I'd be quite happy to pay for the game, say by buying the extra modes out 
right, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the coin system. 

I don't know! how much I'll play the game, however 14 dollars does seem a bit 
much for unlimited play. ON the other hand, if I say paid just the one dollar 
for the 40 coins, the potential to runout is there. 

Are these coins usable in multiple blindfold games on the same device? I do 
mean to try the other blindfold games and obviously there are both other arcade 
games and games like poker that require coins to bet with. I'd be far more 
comfortable paying 14 usd if it got me unlimited plays on several arcade titles 
and/or some poker money. 

The add videos thing is okay as an idea, however my problem is that once the 
add video finishes I have problems getting back to the game, sinse the back 
button on the video's final screen is not labeled, (I believe it's at the top 
right hand corner but am not %100 sure on this, and the usual back scrub 
gesture doesn't work). 

Indeed, the last game I tried the add videos thing for (actually Turf wars), I 
ended up having to close and reopen the ap after each video, however when I 
tried this in Breakout I didn't get the blindfold.  

Of course, all of the coins thing is a sideline to the game, which i definitely 
like so far and expect I will like even more when I've tried some of the 
whackier modes. 

All the best, 

Dark.

Thanks for checking out the game.

Calibration - I think you swipe down with 3 fingers.  Let me know if you 
have problems.


Videos should work; there's a limit to the number of videos per day and 
videos if they are available (that's controlled by an algorithm from the 
advertiser, not from us).


Coins are on a per game basis.  That's what supports the development of 
the games.

How to recalibrate the motion is mentioned in the user's guide, although it 
has been so long since I've done it, I don't recall exactly what it is.  It 
may be either a two or three finger swipe down.


As for the coins, they are only for Breakout.  The ability to use them for 
other games would vastly cut down on the available money for the developer 
to continue supporting and creating games.

2015-12-09 Thread dark 

Hi charlse.

I did read the user's guide but I'll check again in case I missed the info 
on recalibration.


As to coins, yes, obviously the developer gets more money if people have to 
pay the full 14 usd to play whenever they want, I just wondered if there was 
more to the system, sinse 14 usd seems quite expensive for an arcade game, 
good game though it is, indeed I'd be happier paying for extra modes or 
levels or in game options streight off than effectively a pay for each game 
model, though fortunately I have found the back button on the videos so I 
can get cash when finished.


Beware the grue!

Oh, no complaints on quality, I'm just not %100 sure on the payment model, 
but it's certainly not going to stop me from playing and enjoying the game.


The only thing I slightly miss in the game are having power ups to change 
your bat length or the ball speed happening at random. I know these are in 
settings, and you can even set to increase bat size when you hit the back 
wall (which is a rather cool option), however having some randomly occurring 
conditions or maybe falling items to grab would be cool.
