Flashback 1.2 and LITE editon on the way

posted by Stuart * 33 comments

We’ve submitted a minor update for Flashback in addition to a LITE version that allows you to play all the way though the first level.  We want to thank everyone for the reviews and the constructive feedback - we’ve certainly been listening.  Anything we’ve missed for 1.2 we’ll try to put into a 1.3 update.

Flashback Player for iPhone 1.2 will add

  • Confirmation when overwriting an existing save game
  • Ability to enter level access codes

For those of you who choose to upgrade to the full version, you’ll be able to transfer your save games from the LITE edition and continue where you left off.  Therefore, don’t delete the LITE version until you’ve transferred those save games.  Bring up the control menu in the LITE edition, and tap button labelled ‘Transfer Games’ above the save games list.  If you’ve purchased and installed the full version, it will automatically launch with your save games transferred.  The process will overwrite any existing slots, so only do it once!

For those that are interested, the level-access passwords are:

Thanks for the update. It’s always good to see developers taking feedback into consideration. I made a few suggestions in my review on AppStore today. Please consider those points as well for 1.3. Cheers.

@cornelius,

It was your review that prompted me to update my post and add the ‘thanks for the feedback and we’ll try to get more in 1.3’.  I certainly extend the thanks to all the reviewers; however, yours happened to stand out today.

Cheers and again, thanks to all who post feedback.

@cornelius,

Great input´s on AppStore!! TNX! - We could certainly use your inputs to our next game (hitting appstore within a few weeks) too. If you think it could be fun, drop me your email in the support form smile

Any way you could also remove the diagonal direction from the D-pad?, it’s uneccesary & just makes the game more difficult to control. Also is it possible to fade out the onscreen controls when there is a cutscene & from the intro? It would just add to the overall polish of the game.
Good job on the updates & your dedication to making this game better!



Commented 04.06.2009 By Stuart

@P.Moon - great comments.  We’ll definitely consider those for 1.3.  In addition, our ‘big’ feature for 1.3 will be a user-customizable control layout for full-screen mode.  You will be able to place the primary buttons and use the joystick the best way that suits you.

How the hell does Conrad reach the first ledge on level 2?!



Commented 17.06.2009 By Mike

Just press A + left direction, and then Conrad starts to run. Release the joypad, but still hold button A, and he will reach the ledge

Hi - first of all: I really love the game, thanks for bringing this to the iPhone !

But unfortunately, after switching to a new iPhone 3G S, I am not able to LOAD a saved game.
The complete menu-bar (Load, Save, etc.) under the saved-games entries is gone…

It worked on my old 1st Gen iPhone, even under OS 3.0, but on the new iPhone, it don’t.

Can you fix this, please ?!



Commented 22.06.2009 By Stuart

We’re very sorry to hear it is broken - I have a 3Gs and can duplicate the issue.  Still working fine on 3G as you reported.  We’ll post an update ASAP.

Cheers,

Stuart

ITs the same for me, I was really enjoying playing this again on my ipod touch, now i’ve got the 3GS i’m a bit frustrated i cant load my save games… A fix asap would be much great, Cheers!

is it possible in your next revision to change the joystick to an easier method when in the items screen. For example a on-screen d-pad?

Just beat the iPhone version of Flashback.  It took me back many years.  I absolutely love this game.

Are there plans to correct the sound issues when picking up objects, and or using recharge stations and the such?  Also, does the game have music during the credits?  If so, the music is not audible.  It wold be great to have these minor glitches fixed in a version 1.4 release.

Thank you for releasing this amazing game for the iPhone, and for listening to user comments.

Hi,

I have a question: how to pass the fourth mission (generator repair) in New Washington? When I’m coming to the generator’s terminal and trying to use Terminal Card on it, Conrad just repeatedly turns and nothing happens. I’ve tried all three points where “TERMINAL” shows up (pressing A shows “There’s a place for the card”). Am I doing something wrong?

My configuration: iPhone 3GS, Flashback 1.3

And some bugreports:

1. iPhone configmation dialogs and keyboard (while entering password) don’t rotate with the screen (so they are upturned when I’m holding iPhone with it’s button to the left).

2. On menu screen buttons Save/Load/Help/Info don’t press when I’m tapping just a bit below them - only if I’m tapping a bit above them whick is risky to mix with a slot checking.

3. Save and load modes aren’t distinguished enough: slot screen looks the same and only small button position in the bottom of the screen shows what’s currently happening. OK, there’s also two more indicators - words “SAVE” / “LOAD” at the top of the screen and confirmation dialog (experienced users don’t read them). This leads to mistakes since you often forget what action (save or load) you made last and what screen is active now.

Suggestion: don’t make two screens - make a single save/load screen with save and load buttons on each slot line. User will quickly remember that “Save” is on the left and “Load” is on the right and number of mistakes will significantly reduce.

4. Load doesn’t immediately load game if it’s called from continue screen - it requires first to show misleading video and only then shows loaded game.

5. In menu text/slots area taking less than half of the screen. In the same time there’s a lot of empty fields on the screen. The number of empty (or contaning just graphic elements like screw heads) fields can be reduced and button layout can be optimized to make content box larger.

One more thing: button “Menu >“ is misleading since it doesn’t look like button and its arrow points onto the text/slots box, so it’s hard to understand how to close the menu. Better to replace it with the cross (X) to make it clearer that you can close menu by pressing here.

6. Glow effect while pressing buttons isn’t enough to see that button is pressed because finger hides it. The same is for joystic. For example, it’s hard to understand if i’m pressing the wrong direction (up-left instead of up or such) or Conrad cannot make the move. Apple usually uses bubbles above the control to show what you’ve just pressed. Probably something like this should be used here.

7. Info doesn’t contain version number.

It was exactly 1 year and 1 week 70-680 exam  ago that Brian and myself first connected via 70-536 latest dumps
