AndrewEH1 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Doesn't f**king work.... Good concept but they didn't really polish it before publishing it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) So unless there's only like 2 people playing this game, the likelihood of getting to the prize is close to none? Can't see the appeal of this to be honest. But from a different standpoint, it seems like a really clever concept. Would the final message be something along the lines of "you have no life?" edit: Worth a watch, it's mentioned in the article.

Revolver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yeah man, I downloaded because I was curious but I've only managed to actually play it once, for a few seconds. Now all I get is error connecting to server. This is some high quality shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 So all that happens is you have to tap your screen ~60 billiion times to get to the end? Sounds like a great way to file a repetitive strain lawsuit against the company to me... Just watched a bit of that vid- christ this seems pointless.

JT! Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 It's mass multiplayer, so everyone is chipping away at the same cube. You can only do one layer at a time. You get bonus coins if you are the last one to clear a layer which you can buy powerups with. You also get coins for dozens of other reasons. I think the concept is amazing.

Revolver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Poor execution though. For a mmo game, you need a good, reliable server. I am sad because I will never find out what's in the cube, because it doesn't f**king work. Edited November 10, 2012 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Interesting concept, but chipping a block is not the most exiting thing to work towards to. But still interesting to see that alot of people are curious enough to play it, despite how boring it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Can't even get into the f**king game, says 'joining' after the introduction, for like 10 minutes. Tried it 3 times now, none worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 they were expecting around 10,000 players, however it has exploded into the 100,000's and all the servers died. They have opened up a paypal to ask for donations to get it running again. So unless there's only like 2 people playing this game, the likelihood of getting to the prize is close to none? Can't see the appeal of this to be honest. The appeal is similar to that of the lottery. also it's free so it's not like you have anything to lose.

LukasMcNeal Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 If they are appealing for money the prize is unlikely to be money then, unless they intentionally done it to make some sort of prize fund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 If they are appealing for money the prize is unlikely to be money then, unless they intentionally done it to make some sort of prize fund? It's been said in the link I posted that the prize is not a large sum of cash, nor is it a joke video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I deleted it. The prize may not be a joke, but the reliability is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) I deleted it. The prize may not be a joke, but the reliability is. oh snap he went there! I think the issue lies that they weren't expecting it to get as big as it has and now everything's shit the bed. I read that the guy behind it has made lots of unkept promises so i'm not really surprised. I think with the yogscast making a video on it, it got very popular because of this. EDIT:just read that they're updating it tomorrow to solve the server crashes *apparently* Edited November 11, 2012 by DrStix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Peter Molyneux is famous for not delivering on promises, or in other words, being disappointing. Which this is, so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I downloaded it again. I thoroughly enjoyed graffiti-ing and counter-graffiti-ing the fresh layer. I'll post up the results later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Try deleting it and reinstalling it. Lol, some poor girl wrote her name so I changed it. Where it says 'shit is poop' someone wrote 'hi lucy' and I changed it. I'd argue that there isn't time to come up with intellectual humour and execute it so I just went with this. I've got another one but it's more graphic so I'm leaving it out. Edited November 14, 2012 by Revolver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
