can you play monopoly with the bugs? I saw a monopoly bord in the background of I think the last screenshot! Or do you atleast get cash for walking over start?
that video looks freakin epic. one thing i'm not sure about is the whole 'defend you stash' thing. i like to roam freely in my dual stick shooter, worrying about nothing but shooting the baddies!
Thanks for the feedback so far Valid concern, and one we considered very early on. That being said, we have spent a lot of effort getting the balance just right so you aren't glued to your food stash defending -- the mix of exploration and defense is part of what we think makes Bug Heroes so great. First of all there are 2 classes of enemies, those that attack your hero, and those that eat your food. Some waves are pure defense, others pure offense, and still others a mix. The beauty (and where there is lots of room for strategy) is that you can focus on a good defense, and hardly ever have to retreat to your base to defend (except on the all out defense waves), or you can gear up your heroes to the extreme and actively use them as your defense. We also have long range turrets which can support your hero almost anywhere on the map. There is a really cool variety in how you can choose to play! Another thing that allow us to try to get it right for everyone is that each level has its own set of enemies and a "style" to it. Some environments are heavily focused on defense, others not so much, others are a mix. Finally we have a completely separate mode called "Coliseum mode" where it becomes more like a traditional endless survival game. Choose 1 hero and fight to the death. No food stash, no turrets, just all out killing (of course with leveling up and equipping your hero with stuff) As for release date... don't want anything to come back and bite us so no comment quite yet. We are very close to beta though.
I know there will be beta testing soon but when exactly can we send the applications? I am very excited and want to get into this sorry if I am being a little overboard with this.
We're just glad to see people excited about the game! Don't worry we'll post a big announcement here when we start taking beta applications.
Haha, for you? I think we can make that happen For those who haven't seen the trailer yet and are too lazy to browse backwards Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Yes its got retina display support We also have an effects setting and other scalable options so that it will be fully playable on lower generation devices (we are testing on a regular iPhone 3G running at a solid frame rate right now).
That's cool I have 2 iPods 4th gen and 1st gen. I can't find my 1st gen so it doesnt matter though. When is your excpected release date I won't get mad if it diesnt come out that day!
Well, like I said we're entering beta soon, and it will really depend on how long that takes Hopefully we've done a good enough job up front to not require that many changes.
