Upcoming Update 3 Feature List

Update 3 features that we're working on:

1. New level set! The theme: Outer Space. The gameplay gimmick: Brutal Difficulty. Three levels of you dying, then one level of us expressing our condolences for your dying so much.

2. Best ghost run is saved, even if you have ghosts temporarily turned off!

3. Huge revamp to the challenge system, in which it becomes both back-and-forth and lives based. We think that the result will be so good that it will become the gold standard.

4. Lite update, so it will fully support OpenFeint and ghost races and so on.

5. Revamp to how the rope upgrades work. In short, the beginning rope will be much longer and the final rope will be about the same. This is to help with the learning curve for completely new players.

6. New DLC character, if the first DLC character was well-received.

7. New hats for all old and new characters.

8. OpenFeint 2.4!

9. Various new feature requests from the TouchArcade forum, blog comments, emails, and the app store reviewers.

10. More stuff that I'm probably forgetting right now.


We'll announce when the above is submitted. Enjoy Update 2 in the meantime.

Hey guys. Just wanted to say that I love the game and I've been recommending it to everybody I know. Thanks for your continued updates. I bought the DLC character, but if you're going to include 10k gold's worth of new content to buy then we really need more levels to earn it!

I know you're working on some, and I'm eagerly awaiting them. Thanks again.

George.

I agree with Mr. Gavin! The game just gets better and better. I bought Sammichbot as well, and the new dialogues that unlocked for him (it?) were hilarious, and the new hats/coats/upgrades keep the replay value nice and high.

I love Absolutely everything about this game. I will buy any DLC you come up with. U like pizzarolls, I like hook champ, even trade. Now I listened to the podcast with toucharcade. Super excited about John Gore, but I gotta say, I WANT MY INVINCIBLE SHOPKEEPER!!! I love that guy. I will buy anything you make, keep up the good work.

Loving Hook Champ! Just got the credits rolling today after beating Golden Bull, and you land two more maps on me!? Amazing! I've almost beaten all the original five tomb developer scores too :)

What I find could do with improvement is the shop. One little scroll area for so many things, and it's not easy to see what I have yet to buy. It's especially bad now with the hookbot specific stuff in there. I think it would be best if (like the hats) only the current character's items are available. So when I have Jake selected, I don't see any Gunny or Hookbot upgrades. Also, maybe tabs or something to group things together, like "Equipment Upgrades", "Character Upgrades", "Tomb Maps", "Costumes" and the all-important "Hats".

Another idea could be to include more info on how certain hats were unlocked... for example, I'm not sure which hat was unlocked for beating 18 developer scores...?

Another one is what if I want to go back and try some of the harder levels with less stronger equipment? I might just want to turn off the loot vacuum and hook upgrades or something to get access to elite hats or to x1.5 or x2 my coin haul or something like that... to spend on hats, of course.
