What sort of glitches? What are you playing it on?
I get that grey screen crash too G, he's looking into it.
Urban levels is an awesome idea too, you'll defos see this at some point, could be the theme for the 3rd level pack?
The camera views should improve on future levels, lessons have been learnt.

Hes looking into the glitch, is it on any specific track?
Also....
Walk through for those who suck:

« on: November 08, 2014, 02:10:35 AM »^^^ That's going to help.
More feedback, but only meant constructively, not simply whining.
Taken as such, cheers g.

1. Not being able to see where you are because of trees etc in the fore-ground is really annoying.
Where abouts? I used to find this too, but I think you'll find as you get better and go faster this will be less of an issue.
Quote
2. Still no idea how to do a specific trick, seems fairly random what I get, I assume this is down to angle or something but still need instructions.
During the game, hit the menu button, there's a trick list? I think there needs to be a tutorial stage to highlight this and force you to do some specific tricks...
Note you the area around the trick button is quite wide, so you if you're going for a diagonal, you dont need to press on the arrows, you can press around them.

3. Star collection is getting pretty tough now, would like to progress to new levels without having to bang away at the levels that are annoying.
Now hes got the menu thing is done, one of the aims (among about 100,000 others) is to get a load of youtube walk throughs of the levels, so you can see where you need to pump, brake, pedal etc, there will be a link to this from within the game. I was going to do this myself but screen capturing off an android turns out to be a real cunt. Ill have another crack at it this weekend....

4. I seem to get a weird braking effect sometimes when I am trying to pump. Holding pump downhill and yet am slowing down?!?! Particularly on the "shredder" level which I am finding horrible.
G.
The braking glitch was an issue about a month or so back, but should be fixed, are you sure its not your chubby fingers hitting the brake?
Shredders a bastard no doubt, but once you've figured it out, its easy. I guess you'll be having problems on the bombhole, try tapping the brake abs style 2-3 times on the flat bit after the tree stump, then brake hard as you land on the wooden drop, come to a complete stop, wheelie off the edge, pump into the bombhole, land on the step up. Should be able to get through it cleanly 50% of the time doing this.

Tilt now defaults to off, there's a sensitivity control for it when it is on and the all important 'duuuude' button.

Had any luck with getting the bikes on the plane for free this year? I called Monarch a couple of weeks ago to see if the offer was on again and they wouldn't confirm anything. The sales lady wasn't having any of it when I tried to get her to do it as a one off.
Nah but it was only 30 quid ish and that still makes them way cheaper than the alternatives, just need to be super careful with weights, because they absolutely reamed us for excess baggage last year. Probably mostly our fault for turning up about 30 secs before check in closed....

You need to have a crack on one G, they're far more than the sum of their parts, when compared to pretty much any trail bike. You have to totally reconfigure your idea of speed and whats possible, then ride like a total spazz to make them come to life. I couldn't go back to ridig dh exclusively like I did when I was a youth, but it's amazing to go out and smash a big bike about every so often.

Feedback appreciated all, apart from tom, you can suck a scabby dick.
G, true it is at more of a beta stage, but... 'Release early, update often' as they say, to his credit he's been banging out the updates probably every other day and working full time on various bug fixes and feedback hes had on levels.
Dont forget this is a guy who's quit his decidedly averagely job rendering pictures of electricity substations a few mths ago to work on this full time, therefore there was a big financial requirement to get this out asap and before he went broke. Until it was publicly released the testing team included me and another guy playing it on pcs occasionally while we should've been working, he didnt have the feedback and technical back up most other developers would've had behind them, yet considering this its rolled out without any real drama.
I know the tutorials arent descriptive enough, actually they probably are, but you need to be paying attention during the loading screens, which no one does, that needs fixing. Ernies a design and rendering guy, whos worked on this for a long time, so what seems obvious to him/us probably isnt to anyone else coming at it fresh or from pumped, if you've managed to miss the rotate arrows entirely then clearly they need more work...
Originally it was designed without the tilt function, you used the two left hand rotate arrows to do all the fore/aft weight shifting, the tilt thing was added to make it more familar to pumped users i guess, i dont use it and hate it personally, it doesnt suit the pace of the game and you cant make adjustments fast enough.
The uplift truck along with a bunch of other stuff is going in the next level pack, again 1 guy working on it, he had enough on his plate releasing something so much more complex than his previous daft smoking app. Hes done well enough financially out of the release to keep on working on it full time for the foreseeable future, so you can expect it to change/improve significantly.
Hes working on the menus at the moment, which are apparently a total cunt to deal with at his end, but when they're done he'll be back on the game play and rest of it, any feedback or suggestions on any aspect of it (ie a great big button to turn off the fucking "dyuuuude!"s) or ways of clarifying the tutorial would all be appreciated... from any of you.

« on: October 31, 2014, 12:38:15 AM »Not overly a fan. Hate games where tilting is the only option. Would rather be able to just use the on screen buttons.
I wish I could change the camera angle, makes tilting the phone a bit unintuitive...
G.
I barely use tilt function, use the lefthand buttons instead. It works well on some bits, but unlike pumped, you'll find yourself making a lot of small, quick adjustments, rather than just being smooth. Like I said, stick with it.... And cheers for investing.

What phone are you on G?
It is difficult and people do initially moan about the sensitivity of the controls, but persevere with it and in the later levels it all starts to make sense. I think he's got the difficulty to frustration ratio bang on personally, keeps you coming back to it.
New UK based levels due soon.

I've mentioned this before while my homey Ernie was developing it (formerly 'stoked'), but its been out for a while now and you may have missed it.

Get it downloaded and put your hand in your pocket and the pay for the 99p for the additional tracks you tight cunts, you can play the tutorial for free, but the proper tracks are way better.
Its hard and addictive, pro tips:
-Pedal to get off the line, you shouldnt have to do much more than that on most tracks.
-Hold pump for as long as possible before jumps, release it early, just before the lip.
-If you're going to overshoot a jump, hold pump in the air to squash it.
Thats about it.
If you find any bugs let me know.

I saw some HORRIBLE injuries back in the day when the og troy lee and bmx lids had retrofittable chin guards. They might as well not have been there, avoid them like ebola.
Modern TL lids have a nice big face hole, so they dont really obstruct your vision and vitally they look bad ass, but they wont take many knocks. If thats ok then go for it, if not look at a higher end carbon mx lid, you can pound your head off the floor all day long and they'll still protect you.

Another miserable fatty, I bought a fancy road bike last week with carbon fibres and 11 gears, ive been looking at it for like 10 days now and ive not lost any weight at all? Must be defective.
I was doing proper mtb rides 3-4 times a week through the summer, now the weathers turned in the last 2-3 weeks, ive wheeled my downhill bike out once and spent the rest of the time comfort eating. I've not rode my bmx since earlier in the year when i properly brained myself, i need to man up and get back on that through the week.
No real ailments, just the lack of motivation.
