Plunderland Update 1.0.1
We have been having awesome success with Plunderland on the AppStore, thanks for all your support so far. Today we're officially announcing the 1.0.1 update for Plunderland, it's only a 0.1 release, but it packs a punch.
If you've just joined us at JohnnyTwoShoes after buying Plunderland, you're probably starting to realise that we genuinely do listen to our players and our fans. So, this update truly addresses some of the biggest gripes you all had with the game.
For the list-o-phobes, look away now:
- Updated the cannon controls, now it's a lot easier to grab when the camera zooms out and also, context sensitive around certain areas.
- The pause menu now shows you how much gold you've made so far in the current level and lets you toggle the audio on and off.
- We tweaked the price of items in the shipyard and let you start off with a couple more items unlocked.
- The crows nest works properly on 'Sheffield' ship.
- The survival mode is now unlocked by default so you can jump right into the mayhem without having to play through all 3 campaigns. Each survival mode unlocks as you beat the previous difficulty.
- The credits screen now works too, most of you probably haven't got there yet but it's pretty cool. The music was performed especially by Josh.
- We've tweaked some of the expert scores too, some were nearly impossible.
- You'll be glad to know that the evasive final cod-piece on the serpent level can now be found! It was probably in a cloud before, outrageous. Even I couldn't find it.
- Performance tweaks, including much better handling of low-memory situations -- this effectively completely gets rid of the "black screen" bug people have been reporting. It's all gooooood now.
- And the biggest of all? Full support for OS3.0 and upwards, we know not all of you have iOS4.0 and it wasn't even intended but we re-wrote ALL the menus so you could get into this. That means it will also run on iPads (in the iPhone simulation mode)
If that's not proof that we listen, I don't know what is. A lot of you have been asking for an iPad specific version, more news on that soon and also, we know a lot of you are asking for more levels. We will be bringing some FREE new campaigns to Plunderland and a ton of other awesome stuff.
The update is about to be submitted to Apple after a bit more testing, we don't want you guys to freak out if we forgot to include a play button.
