Defensoid 1.08 Released

Fixed a bug introduced by fixing that other bug involving radiation towers...

A radiation tower in combination with a slowing tile would stop Oids completely.  Now the slowest an Oid can go is 25% of their movement speed.

Defensoid 1.07 Released

This release fixes a bug with radiation towers not working on higher end phones like the Droid 2 and HTC Incredible.

Additionally, Shieldoids are now immune to radiation damage (but will still be slowed) while still shielded.

All the work from my last post is still ongoing, no worries.  I apologize if this release got anyone too excited.

Back to work...

My goals for the next update:

1.  Global High Scores (full version only for now)

2.  More levels

3.  New Oids

4.  Some bug fixes

I plan to eventually (maybe not this update) make the free version ad supported, and include more levels for it.

I've been very busy with other projects the last couple of weeks, but hopefully I will be able to have an update within two weeks, other work permitting.

I've been thrilled with the response to the game thus far, and am overjoyed that so many people find it a good way to pass the time!

Defensoid 1.06 Released

In this update:

1. Two new levels in the full version! They are named "Launcher" and "Spearhead", and can be found near the bottom of the level list. It's my weekend gift to all of you.

2. Upon reaching zero lives, the game now ends.

3. Fixed a bug related to hitting the "home" button from the game over screen. Upon resuming the game, a player would incorrectly have full health and could keep playing.

4. Fixed a bug involving the infinite Oids setting that incorrectly ended resumed games prematurely.

5. Some basic Oid descriptions have been added to the instructions.

Note: Both versions are now 1.06 to keep version numbers consistent (and me sane). There was no version 1.05 of the free version as some might have noticed.

Defensoid 1.05 and Defensoid Lite 1.04

This update makes the hard difficulty harder!

Sorry for the double update, but I wasn't done with the level adjustments and wanted to release the crash fix ASAP.

Defensoid 1.04 Released

This update is for the full version only.

The only change made was to prevent force closures upon opening the game.

If the issue still isn't resolved for you after the update, please let me know. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem on my test device, but I'm fairly sure I found what was causing it.

Thank you for your patience.

Defensoid 1.03 Released

In this update:

1. Users of Android 2.2 now have the option of installing the game to their SD card.

2. Copy protection has been removed in favor of Google's new(ish) licensing scheme. The full version now requires two permissions to support this. The license permission allows the game to query the license server, and the "read phone state" permission allows the game to access your phone's IMEI number (a unique identifier for your phone).

3. Players can now see more information on the map choosing screen. The high scores will be pulled from your local scores. The three grey circles indicate (from left to right) if you have completed that level on easy, normal, or hard. The circle will light up in glorious purple when you complete the level on a difficulty (not infinite). The highest wave you've reached will also be displayed. Note: Because this information wasn't stored before, the only information that might be there is your high score. You will have to re-complete the level to get the circles to light up, or get max wave information.

4. Other minor bug fixes.

Please let me know if any issues arise. I've read about problems occuring with other applications when copy protection is removed. Hopefully this will be a smooth transition. If there are issues, please try reinstalling the game. Unfortunately, this causes all of your scores to be lost...but hey, you have to replay the levels anyway to light up the circles! But I do apologize in advance if there are issues.

Go defend!
