we are updating the leaderboards! (you can go and check them out, upper right corner on this site)

however, we have also managed to insert a bug where you are ranked #1 (sweet!) no matter how you do on your level. However, you are not actually #1 (bummer.) but the ranking is just coming back wrong.

So, bask in the glory or always being #1 for another day or so while we fix it :-)

Great feedback, very helpful! The cannon is supposed to work from just inside the base… I think that when I changed the physics calc rate, that mustve messed that up. (and it is a pain to test :-)

gonna have to fix level 2 i guess, make the gap bigger and the snow easier to find :-)

Cheers!

Having a great time playing the beta and am getting some good reactions from my friends. I’ve seen them try some interesting things. In answer to your question about level 2 Little Jump, most people don’t look for the snow pile and it’s not too hard to fluke getting across the gap.

The good news first:

I’ve tested level 10 Clock — no issues with the sync of the centre piece and the corridor is a better size without being too wide.

Tested level 18 Infernal Machine — animations are finishing with no issues.

Tested level 12 Linking Rings — final animation is much improved and finishing this level is now fun. I liked the twist at the end.

The bad news:

The slider is much improved but will still jam every once in a while.

Intersection with boxes isn’t as reliable as before (or I never saw a bad case before). Most times the ball nudges a box and each object respects the others bounds. Other times the ball intersects halfway into a box. I’ve also had it pull the box along briefly.

In level 17 Fire Wheel the cannon has consistently shot the ball too far. I’ve made it to the cannon 3 times and tried different depths. Eg. half way up, one quarter & at the base. It’s over shot me each time. When playing b0.9.4, I found I had to be around a quarter of the way up to land in the right place. Sitting at the base meant falling short of the landing pad.

There’s also something else I’ve picked up in level 17. When you pause the game the animations continue to play. The result is that you don’t really get a pause if you’re on the wheel.

Overall looking very good and I’m enjoying the music this time round. It sets the mood for the levels and at times is in sync with your personal game play making the whole experience that much cooler.
