Re: Epicycles 3

There's lots of different ways to play it but some ideas: (Don't read this unless you are stuck. You may well find your own superior methods and much of the fun is in exploring) 1. When you are in orbit around an attractor try to use the minimum thrust possible to get motes. Use lots of fast motion ...

Re: Can't get the Voyager or Fittest achievements

Got through Master of the Force last night (3rd pip on Epicycles forever took a few extended tries) and went back to the earlier Sentient levels and it did indeed grant those missing achievements when I completed them again. Never really much been into achievements and I read in an interview that He...

Re: Can't get the Voyager or Fittest achievements

Thanks Richard H. FYI, the shutdown crash has been fixed and will be rolled into an update in the near future. Dave Thanks, still playing an hour a day so the fix will be handy. Just wondering, it appears that the attractors are attracted to you on the chaotic levels but not on the orbital ones, wh...

Re: Suggestion: Replay feature! (after beating a level...)

Ah, ok, that's interesting. I guess I'm seeing similar behaviour from one run to the next on AI levels since I'm probably getting a relatively constant frame rate and only trying to apply pattern gameplay to the first 30 seconds or so. (Damn you "forever" Feraxes! :) ) In that case it soun...

Re: Smooth sailing until...

"I finally beated the game, after countless of hours (well, 26 actually)!!! ... Somehow I managed to get it just right. " Well done! Its one of those experiences that gradually seeps into your brain until, without knowing it, you just "grok" and things come together. Enjoy the bo...

Re: Can't get the Voyager or Fittest achievements

Done. Sent from richard@runswimfly.com. (Also included my log but with about 1MB of "WARNING: PlayBuffer: can't attach bufer to source: 1" cut out :) ) Though this one is pretty low priority if there are no other reports and the answer doesn't immediately leap out at you. I have been runni...

Can't get the Voyager or Fittest achievements

Not really concerned with the achievements (well, perhaps just a bit :) ) but just wondering if it is a bug. I'm a Graduate of the Osmos and I'm well into some of the Forever zones which prompted me to look at the achievements for the first time. It says I haven't completed all the Sentient zones bu...

Re: Suggestion: Replay feature! (after beating a level...)

The devs could correct me but I imagine the main difficulty would be the interface. Seems like a deterministic system (AI included) once you have the random seed. You would just need to record all the human control inputs. No rewind of course, unless it was in block jumps. Wonder how much memory it ...

Re: Smooth sailing until...

Just fired Osmos up again. There are some new "Forever" levels showing up now. Cool, have to see what they are about. Sorry!

Re: Smooth sailing until...

"Is there a way to unlock the bonus zones anyway? Maybe a cheat, or a savegame. " Bonus zones? Have I missed something? As far as I'm aware (and I'd be quite happy to be wrong and discover there is more new human generated content) the only thing you are missing by not completing this leve...
