Comments on: 'Dizzy Bee 2' Coming Soon http://toucharcade.com/2008/12/07/dizzy-bee-2-coming-soon/ ... keeping in touch with the latest in iPhone gaming Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Eskimo27 http://toucharcade.com/2008/12/07/dizzy-bee-2-coming-soon/#comment-8125 Eskimo27 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:20:15 +0000 http://toucharcade.com/?p=1233#comment-8125 Hey, guys. I'd like to apologize about the lost save data. The app store launch was pretty rocky. The OS was doing a lot of funky things then: crashing on launch, refusing to launch at all, deleting the game and reinstalling when you would update instead of keeping the saved data. Dizzy Bee 2 was built with firmware 2.2, so I'm hoping it's much more stable. Just to be safe I still recommend backing up occasionally. Did anyone experience lost save data that wasn't related to an update or the app not launching properly? I believe it was all early OS difficulties, but let me know if that's not the case. Controls: I was hoping everyone would play Dizzy Bee holding the phone/ipod more vertically, and turn it like a car steering wheel rotates, and a lot of people do. But I think there are many more that don't, so in Dizzy Bee 2 the first thing I did was take out the minimum gravity rule, so if you hold it flat the guys won't move at all. The game plays quite differently. I can't wait to hear opinions! I've heard some people saying they're still getting the triangle (dreaded 'too-flat') warning. If you are, keep holding it flat, and touch "stop saying" and the triangle should go away too. Difficulty: I grew up on NES era games - Ghosts 'n Goblins, Prince of Persia, Mega Man. Because of that I tend to make games much harder than I probably should. Believe it or not I was really trying to make Dizzy Bee an easy/medium game (well the first ocean anyway!) But I realize I've got a way to go, so in Dizzy Bee 2 there is an easy mode (starts off super easy). Please give that a go if you felt Dizzy Bee was on the hard side. Ooops that post got long quickly! Can't wait to hear some feedback! Thanks for playing! Hey, guys. I'd like to apologize about the lost save data. The app store launch was pretty rocky.

Some I got when free have now been priced, but I'm getting this one at launch. Simply clean and very fun. Next on my list are Cromag Rally and Enigmo. Need For Speed too if it ever comes out. What a great gaming system this has become. Bought the first one soon as I could, and to date it's the only app I've paid for.

I agree with the sentiment about losing my game save data, but I saw it more as an excuse to keep playing than a detriment (glass half full)!
