I just noticed a case where the gyro controls become inverted. It has to do with orientation lock. Before you load the game make sure orientation lock is off and the game will work in both landscape left and landscape right orientations. If you flip over to the other landscape and the screen flips you might have to click calibrate on the hud to reset the gyro. let me know if its inverted for you with orientation lock on and we will submit an update to fix. We are working on a big update now that will make Shooter's Alley a bit more "social" - Matt mehware
thats true but after a while it moves far away from the pins by itself and it hard to line them up again even after calibrate on ipad2
@m13, video isn't needed. I know what your talking about. where tilting up and down makes the cam go left and right. With orientation lock off try flipping the device over the other landscape. The screen will flip and hit calibrate. This should fix it. We are testing on all four devices right now to make sure this gets resolved in an update. What do you guys think of the game as a whole? Anything to improve on, anything you would like to see gameplay wise in an update? - Matt mehware
I did not expect this game to be this much fun. I've noticed that Game Center achievements will continue to show up even after you've already got it. For example, every time I get 3 strikes in a row, I unlock the Turkey achievement. Same for scoring over 250 points. Also, for some reason, I haven't unlocked the 50 and 100 point achievements. Shouldn't those be unlocked when I get the 250 point one? Regarding the crosshairs drifting to the side ... that's a bit annoying but having the Calibrate button on the side makes that a non-issue, really. Another thing that's a bit annoying is waiting for him to reload after every shot. What kind of guns are these that need reloading after every shot? I've already mentioned this, but can you guys remove the offensive language? I know it's probably not offensive to 99% of you, but I want my kids to be able to play this and, right now, they can't. One small tweak I would like to see if a quick 'restart' button. I know we can hit Main Menu and start over, but a restart button would be awesome ... especially since we're all trying to get perfect games and want to restart every time we don't get a strike. Thanks again for the contest. I wouldn't have played this game near this much so I would have missed out on a great game.
@burn, Thank's for the compliments. Here is the standings of the top three in the contest... dexter1984 - 268 points RaptorF35 - 268 points sekr3t - 264 points I'm really pleased with the scores. If anyone has a score higher than or equal to 264 please post and I'll check it on game center. We are looking into a gyroscope fix as far as inverted/drifting. Glad everyone is enjoying the game. - Matt mehware
Loving the game! It's one of those games you want to throw against the wall because you got 8 strikes and missed one pin on the 9th one!!! lol
@Burn, We are going too add a "reset" button in game so you can get back to the action quicker. It will reset the game in the current alley you picked. And so you your youngin's can play. We will have the ability to completely turn off shooter (the character that pops up in the top left TV). Thank's for the suggestions! PS - also thanks for picking out that achievement bug. Silly logic error. Shooter's Alley 1.0.1 has been submitted a few days ago with minor fixes. Shooter's Alley 1.0.2 will have gyroscope fix, reset button, and more options menu (to turn shooter off). Shooter's Alley 1.x.x will be a big update - Matt mehware
@Syyap, wow well done. I don't even know the trick, but I would keep it a secret til the contest is over . 289 is a fricken awesome score! - Matt mehware
Aaah, you beat me to it!! I had 10 strikes last night and left 1 behind on the 11th. Congrats on getting there first!!
@m13, sweet man. I woke up this morning and checked the leader boards and saw the score in the 300 club, way to go. I love that Shooter (the character in the TV) is closing his eyes in your screenshot LOL. He's probably in disbelief. Are you sure you didn't shake the device really hard to knock the pins down? JK, doing that is not an easter egg. I'm going to send you one of the gift cards today. Private Message me your name and iTunes e-mail, I'll send it through iTunes so you get it instantly, I think the iTunes store gift card works if your in the USA. If not then I think I have to generate it in the store's region your in. There will be two winners left in the contest Highest scores will take home the bacon! Keep it up guys and gals. - Matt mehware
I can verify that this does not work, despite how hard the device gets shaken. I'm almost certain that my iPad has Shaken iPad Syndrome now from all the abuse I've been giving it these past few days. lol
We are thinking of easter eggs to add, but don't want an unfair advantage for those who figure it out . If anyone has any gameplay ideas let me know. One update in the works is to add 3 mini games to add replay value. We have two of them speced out. If anyone has an idea for a bowling/shooting mini game post. It may make it in the game. Back on topic, keep up the high scores everyone, this is truly amazing. - Matt mehware
