egging – fixing crash or malfunctioning “again-button”

December 1, 2011 in Apples, egging

I’ve seen this behaviour too after updating to iOS 5 and newer. I’ve also seen similar malfunctions on many other apps after updating iOS. Seems the apples;-) messed around with something in the iOS. To fix it you can try 2 approaches. Method 1: Switch off your iOS device by holding lock-screen button for some seconds (a switch-off slider will be displayed). Then restart your device. If this doesn’t help. Use method 2: Delete the app, then re-download/re-install the app. It might be necessary to apply “method 1″ once more.

Sorry for this inconvenience.

Apple has an annoying bug in iTunes Connect and App Store that forces pre-rendered icons to gloss. Hope Steve Jobs puts as much attention on this as he does with the google icon and the yellow gradient

Our home! Sigh!
Home needs moon! Mission? Tilt & roll to catch the moon! Easy? Did you realize that egg shape?

Please, consider not to fall! Otherwise home might be swallowed by the singularity…
You need skill, focus and balance to be succesful. You could attribute earthing with “meditative”. Ambient sounds included.

While not falling, transform all objects in your path into gold. earthing’s physics is quite credible, you can even throw or bounce-up earth.

Game Center: Scores are compared to others while playing. Total score is increased by 1-3% with each achievement. Earn achievements for transforming all level objects into gold.

Cuurrently 45 levels! All levels are unlocked, all levels count.

Expect update-love! More diverse objects, structures and levels in the making!

Unity3D: automagic texture quality adapting for iDevices

March 29, 2011 in Unity3D

How to adjust texture quality or size or resolution according to different iDevices

adjust texture quality or size or resolution according to different iDevices

How to adjust texture quality or size or resolution according to different iDevices (iPod, Iphone, iPad etc.) automatically?
You can adjust this via the quality settings (Project settings > Quality) in Unity3D. It’s important that you use Mip Maps in the texture import settings!!! Import the best texture (max. 2048×2048), this will be used for the newest/best devices. Quality settings and Mip Maps will automatically downgrade your textures according to the older/slower devices depending on what you set in the quality settings in the editor.
Use this code somewhere during initialisation

Almost 400 000 500 000 Downloads! To celebrate this I did a major polishing. Actually the polishing was more of a ‘development from scratch’ ;-) . The game is free for quite a while. As an indy developer I hope it will pay off now by adding iAds. Thanks and enjoy egging 2.0!

egging V1.0: enter score bug

April 24, 2010 in egging, games

enter score bug

enter score bug


I could recreate this bug, but cannot explain why this exactly happens. This bug seems to be related to higher scores with at least 5 digits. Someone suspected this to be intended, but it’s not! I’m eager to give you pleasure and a nice user experience, unhappy bothered customers would simply stop playing, this is pretty sure not my intension. You love playing games, I love making games.

I also use third party software for the leaderboards and I decided to update this. Maybe an update will already fix it. But I have to approach this carefully, as I don’t want to corrupt the leaderboards. Please don’t forget, egging usually costs less than a cup of coffee and even is free for now, no ads inside! So please be fair!
