Tool got stuck - no new lines

[toronar]

Hello!

I encountered a strange bug while mining.
I moved some blocks and one tool got stuck - the toolblock couldn't be moved at all. It just kept going up as new lines were added. Once it reached the top, no new lines were added by the game any more.
In addition, every time I completed a combo, the combo-counter would go up.
The experiencebar was full after some combos, but I could keep mining without any problem - got some really nice resources in under 5 minutes of time

I could only add new lines by tilting the iPhone up and then down, every tilt would add around 3 lines of blocks.

After reaching 147 consecutive combos I pressed the home-button to return to the iPhone home screen. After I started AF again, it recognized that I had leveled up and I could play on without a hitch.

I tried to screenshot some combos, but I am not really fast enough to capture them. I just got this one (47x).



You can see the hammer tool which is stuck, it is a bit out of place and dark-grey in color:

Could you explain more of how the block got stuck?

what actions were you taking previous to the tool block being stuck?

I had this happen to me just now

I had a furie block and I slowly slid an earth block to make a line but changed my mind and moved it back. However the furie hammer animation happened, I guess it got close enough to trigger the animation but not close enough to make the line. The furie block stayed there and when it reached the top it had to stop and that's what's bothering me. oooh oobee doo...

I've seen a few blocks hidden like this. Sometimes if I make other moves, the screen with redraw them. Rotating left or right also seems to make the blocks appear for me. It's almost like they don't refresh on the screen until some additional animation triggers them.

It definitely happens more with bigger combos or tons of movement on the screen for me.]

Very cool you got the screenshots of it!

The same thing happened to me, it seemed to occur with a tool block (bomb) that was situated against another tool block and it exploded and then just reappeared as a solid block. I kept going and collected gems and resources. To bring in new lines i had to rotate ipod 180 degrees and i could collect resources, i kept the resources after but did not level up until i next went back into the mine(i did not mind this since i wasted so many resources on a magicbook and crashed like 3 times and lost level up). One major point is that the combos you get here is not saved in the largest combo your character has so it only seems like a bug that allows you to hoar resources. Unusual.
