Samsung A900 w/ Sprint
Attack Paddle no longer loads for me. I got up to 400+ balls and 30 launch balls.
I then found Attack Breaker Pro and started over. I'm up to 311 balls and 27 launch balls. It still works, but takes nearly five minutes for the game to load.
Could these issues be due to the ads? I understand why you have ads and I have no problem with it. But, if they are messing with the functionality of the game, is there an alternative?

Actually the ads shouldn't have anything to do with the loading times. If the game is simply taking longer and longer to load, than it's likely the filesystem on the phone. It's probably getting fragmented, and unfortunately there's no way to de-frag a phone like you can on a computer. I have found this to be an issue on my 'Origami Flower' games as well. It's not really a game problem, it's just that after loading/saving the same data hundreds or thousands of times, the phone's seem to start having trouble. Also, the current versions of my games that are being distributed by greystripe and all it's partners are actually the WRONG versions. It's really annoying, but if you go to download 'Attack Breaker Pro' from gamejump.com, or 00adam.mobi, you actually get 'Attack Paddle v1.0.2' or something like that. Same with '3D Attack Chopper' 1 or 2, you get the OLDEST versions instead of the newest ones. I have complained to greystripe a few times now, so hopefully it'll get fixed soon. Sorry about the problems any of you guys are experiencing because of these dirtro issues and/or game slowdowns. It looks to be completely out of my control at the moment.  |

Actually, what might be useful is the version number of 'Attack Breaker Pro' that you have. I don't think I display it anywhere in-game, but on most phones you can highlight a game and chose 'details' or 'info' and it'll tell you the game size, version etc.
Again, I am truely sorry about these problems.

Darn, I didn't know about fragmentation with cell phones. That makes sense now.
I've got v1.2.4

Glad you like my games. Well, the fragmentation is a bit of speculation on my part, but I have found that deleting and re-installing solves all slow-downs that I have come across. I'm just glad I have made some games that people play long enough to notice problems like this.

You guys check out my 00adam.mobi site yet? I would love some feedback. Is that for mobile phones only? It does not open with Firefox or IE. Works on my cell, though. Looks good. Loads fast. Not cluttered. I like. |

Yeah, every .mobi address is for mobile's only. I have 00adam.com pointing to this messageboard at the moment, but I will eventually get around to making a standard site.
