Aurora Feint II: Tower Puzzles

[Danielle Cassley]

Hello All,

If you like the Alchemy Tower puzzles and want to play more of them we just released a strategy building game called Aurora Feint II: Tower Puzzles. It's only 99 cents and will be moving to 1.99 after the holidays (USD). Its hours of fun and totally addicting.

It is great for the more casual player and the extremely hardcore. Casual players will enjoy the pace and trying to beat the game. The more hardcore players will enjoy learning the ins and outs of chaining and instapoping that they can use while battling in the Arena.

Does this game have new material?

[ifrit10]

Shouldn't you be trying to expand the current Aurora Feint II The Arena before giving us an extra game which probably some of the top players haven't completed in the current one because there is no need to?/b]

[Danielle Cassley]

Tower Puzzles has no character and is meant for the more casual player looking to avoid the character progression as well as the more hardcore player looking for some strategy on chaining and instapopping.

There are 37 puzzles in the style of the ones from the alchemy tower. Most of the puzzles are new (the early teach you to play ones may overlap).

.....and downloaded. Love the new UX decisions, guys. Also the new brighter artwork is classy

Quick thought: It would be an interesting move to actually bring in some elements across all of your games. For example, chat as global to build community across your entire brand rather than in a game-by-game walled garden fashion.

It would also be cool to give some perks to people who buy other games in the series. I haven't seen this done yet with iphone apps, but it's a cool idea that would probably encourage some of the harder core players to expand out into the other games. Maybe this is more the concept of a global profile with achievements from everywhere.

You may already be thinking this for AF iii tho

Cheers!

Bought this yesterday & I've done up to the 'expert' levels. A really good spin-off from the original game.

Also, as an avid fan of the Aurora Feint series, I agree with Lena on the subject of 'loyalty perks'. I've all the games so far & it would be greatly appreciated to see an extrabit for those of us hardcore AF gamers

I played up to the Hard puzzles, but then had to sync with my PC to get some new songs. When I started playing again, I no longer had "resume game" as an option and had to start over. Is this a feature or a bug?

I'm having the same problem as cjivan, except I've had it three times now, which has brought me to my wit's end. Each time I make it to Hard, at some point (I suspect it's just when I press the Home button: I'd gotten into the habit of going back to Menu to try to preserve my progress) I lose "resume game". And it's really annoying to have to do the same 20 levels over and over again -- with all their transitions and animations and slow level changes -- just so I can get back to level 25 which just hours ago had me stumped.

Touch 2nd gen. So far I've lost progress once, after getting to floor 16. I've been in and out of the game several times, some times pressing Menu before quitting, some times pressing Home. Most recently I've got to floor 23 and did a sync, and while my Touch is still charging I've verified my progress is still there. So as far as I can tell it feels random from my perspective, which means I don't know how to work around it and if it happens again that will be very annoying.

Aside from that, I'm enjoying it. Really nice polish, great value. One thing that stumped me for a while was the tutorial that said tilting the device was 1 move. I took that to mean tilting 90 degrees then returning to vertical was 1 move, but it's not, it's 2 moves. I didn't realize you could tilt, then continue to do moves, then tilt back, until I spent far too long on some puzzle before realizing that.

I lost my progress after a sync as well. Rather annoying, I hope it's a bug.

Otherwise good game for .99 cents, the tower puzzles are the best part of AF.

This happened a second time. It has nothing to do with syncs. I went in and out of the game several times last night and the last thing I ran was either this game or Safari, then I put it down for the night and the first thing I ran today was this game, and the save progress was lost. If there isn't news of a coming patch very soon it's getting 1-star on iTunes.

So ifrit10's suggestion isn't far off.... shouldn't you be trying to fix the issues across all Aurora Feint games rather than handing out new ones? Looks like this thread filled up quick with people who can't play.

For .99 this game is still good. But the problem is you lose saved progress. I can play the game fine, i just have to keep replying the same levels to reach the ones I haven't done yet everytime I lose progress.

I wouldn't mind as much if had at least saved that I finished Easy and Medium and would only have to start from the first Hard floor, but it's started from Floor 1 everytime.

[Jason Citron]

The lost progress issue is most certainly a bug. We're looking into what the cause may be. I've heard from some that if you reboot your phone the game will save properly from that point forward. We're hoping to have an update out in the next week or so that fixes this.

Thanks for bearing with us! We're all working like mad over here!
