The ipad version coming out is slightly different, and with a different camera angle that will make it a lot easyer to control using the bigger device. also make sure you calibrate the device right, otherwise the ball will not respond correctly!
Bought the game today and it's really fun. Thanks for making it universal soon. It was one of the major factors in making the purchase.
Did I get it right ?? When I'm getting my new iPad I will play Hi Res Mad O Ball 3D on this device, with no additional Fee ?!?!? This is GREAT news! Not like other games, I don't want to mention which ones, which costs 4.99$ for iphone, and 7.99$ for the HD iPad version! What the heck!!! I think those will be titles not running on my iPad.. Thanks so much for this update!
We are planning an universal update for the lite as well, but it will take us sometimes before it comes out, we also have already planned further updates for the full version, so I don´t think you will get disappointed for $1.99!
I want to like it, but it's just too hard for me on iPad as it stands. Thinking about it. Device clutter is probably more of an issue than the $1.99....
well the only thing I can say in this case is, look at the pictures I posted and see the differences between them and the lite version you downloaded, also wait untill the update is actually approved by apple, and ask other members if they find it easyer to control, we certenally do
The iPad version looks much more "zoomed out" than the iPod version. I have played the iPod version on my iPad and I actually found it to control well and I enjoyed it. I did calibrate it and the game itself takes a certain touch and finesse. The HD version looks absolutely amazing, and I hope that update comes fast! Come on Apple!!!
I love your statement "What do you mean PEOPLE LIKE ME???" Hilarious. In the right setting, that could be a mess. (I'm just kidding by the way, sometimes it's hard to tell that in text) I hope that the update will work better for you. If you want, Follow up with me for a comparison of the two and I will let you know for sure if it's a lot different. I can tell by the screenshots it will be a lot different, but we will see if the gameplay is as well.
Developer's log - Mad O Ball Universal HD update - Easier Wider Better Hello TouchArcaders, we are so excited while waiting for the review, and I must say I'm a bit nervous as this is our first Universal Binary! I would like to anticipate some of the "What's new" for this release for TA forum readers eyes only New Calibration System At the end, after having bloated my negative opinion about having a more flexible calibration system, allowing playing in different positions, I convinced myself to implement it. So now the few guys who asked for this fix on some iTunes reviews, can now enjoy the game for longer, keeping changing position even while playing, and being able to re-calibrate with a simple touch on the "accelerometer radar" (a sound fx will notify the re-calibration done) I still insist and suggest everybody to play the game FLAT, as this gives you more chance to make an high score (IMO), but while testing the new system I must say that it was funny to be able to switch the position of the device more than once in the same race (level) with a simple touch. No doubts on the world unlocking mechanism anymore We found a funny review on iTunes (I laughed so much) which was complaining the full game was giving only the EAST world to play and willing a money refund! Then this guy realized and apologized, changing the review (Thanks you for updating the review, and for making us understand that it was not 100% clear!) This really put us in the position to change a bit the "World Choice" menu, so that is now more straight forward. Slightly wider camera angle The iphone/ipod version of the game will now result a bit easier to be played, as the camera angle is now a little bit wider on those devices too. This will make the game a bit easier probably, as you can see more of the track. iPad hardware makes the game so much faster and better Even with a much wider camera angle, the game on the iPad runs great. Loading times are 1/4 and with this angle and at that video resolution it gives the real impression on how the game should have been since the start! I let you discover this and the rest for yourself soon, I think the update will be avaiable monday or tuesday, as I don't think any review is going on in the weekend. Quick update on the Outerspace levels "expansion pack". We are designing this new set of levels, which will be available soon. Before to pop out this cherry though, we would like to see at least 1000 players having finished the whole game, so it will be really the good time to come out with this new update with 8 more levels to get. We opted for the in-app purchase way to go. Basically when you complete the game, you will be able to buy for 0.99$ the new 8 levels, and I'm telling you, will be definitively worth it! Enjoy!
not rejected, we are still "waiting for review" !! this is become quite frustrating, almost a week now..
We have now been approved, and the game is out on the appstore: itunes.apple.com/it/app/mad-o-ball-3d-fast-paced-rolling/id358777386?mt=8
