Shred! Extreme mountain biking (awesome game/app)

[ginger]

Brutal reviews on the app store. I've clocked Pumped about a thousand times, so I'll waste my $1.29 on it.

5 minutes later and I want my money back.

It's certainly isn't Pumped, is it?

Whenever I play it I seem to be getting a LOT of glitches, to the point of it not really being playable. I don't think the game is difficult because it is hard, more because it doesn't work properly. Does it seem like this to anyone else? From the replies in here it would seem not.

[MEAT]

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.

Flips don't seem to count towards points, can't clear any of the jumps consistently, etc...just seems rushed and the physics is turrrrible.

I'm on a 5S. The controls seem somewhat laggy a lot of the time. It said I was in cancan for a full run once and then still when I restarted. How far or how high you go don't really seem to relate to what you do with the controls, rather what the game feels like doing at the time. Tricks only count sometimes.

[MEAT]

Hmmm, its not great on an s5 is it....? I'll do some hassling.

I feel like I have finished it now and overall pretty meh.. It obviously entertained me enough to want to keep going and get all the levels unlocked but the controls do seem somewhat sporadic. It may be that I am not hitting the buttons accurately enough, but it certainly seemed like they just didn't respond a lot of the time.

It would be cool if runs still counted as finished however you cross the finish line. At the moment if you crash at high speed and slide across the line you get nothing, whereas in a real race that would obviously still count (and is kind of fun). I also feel like there should be bonus points for crossing the line mid trick/variation.

This was updated fairly regularly at launch but seems to have stagnated now. Had another little play yesterday and a few things stood out.

1. No updates for a while, UK bike park has been "coming soon" since launch.

2. There is definitely a bug where the forward back controls become unresponsive, was in one of the "slow-mo" sections when it happened and had time to see the button lit-up to indicate I was pressing it, but bike wasn't responding.

3. Cannot complete the "manual the final two log rides" on "gangsta lean" level. I have definitely done this, it has put up on screen "manual manual manual" etc but not credited it. Tried nose manualling too with similar lack of credit... not sure why this doesn't work but its frustrating.

4. Last level is a pig just to get through, when you "tweak" tricks you seem to jump less distance which seems strange and makes it super hard.

Good timing G... he's flat out on the uk levels now, but im off on holiday with him weekend after next, so ill bother him hard to sort all the issues in the existing ones too, 3-4 where both on my list, i can only get through the last level if i dont do any tricks, i dont know whats going on there.

As of yesterday its been announced its going #enduro for the next one...



Aiming to have it out or at least play testing, before christmas i think?

The riders based our mate steve, the most embarassingly 'duro guy you'll ever see.

My 2p would be that tilting forward or backwards on a jump to boost or racer would be a good addition. I find it difficult to clear all of the jumps.

Also I keep finding that the left arrow for table tops only gives me a nac nac.

Good game though.

I finally managed to "clear" the manual logs but it was by braking hard on the second rather than manualling.
Was disappointed that it got an update the other day and all that seemed to change was adding an advert for a Tshirt....

So the guy pretty much gave up on this then? Shame.

Boooo, I still want my $2.49 back.

[Sasha]

I would have wanted my money back even if it were free.
