Polarity was the first game I purchased on my OUYA (First completed too, since I liked it so much), and it's still there. I eagerly await more levels, hopefully with some more challenging ones like the last few mixed in! Oh, and of course more data collections to do!
The only downside I can see to this game is that it lacks the urge to keep on getting on once you've completed every level and collected every piece of data, just like any other puzzle game. Maybe hiding the data better and slightly increasing the amount required to unlock the next level (I never realized that they were even required for anything besides the last "level" until I accidentally deleted my save and had to go back through) would help?
I eagerly await anymore updates that you conceive, The_Craig!
BTW I seem to have the reccuring issue that after playing a level it will tell me i dont have the full version and ask me to purchase it. Then i go to the ouya home and launch the game and it knows i have paid for it. Just thought u might want to see if its the ouyas fault or your games.
It would be great if the free portion was more than just the tutorial. It's kind of a kick to the face to pick up 3 "level unlock" items, only to find out that the levels weren't actually unlocked. There was no real indication that the levels I unlocked were not really unlocked unless I paid, which left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
looking forward to playing this one after reading reviews and watching videos. Is the new update coming before August 5th? Thats when i get to play it.
This game was great. It was the first game I bought and was really fun on the first playthrough. The controls were bad and I still loved it. Playing on the latest update is even better :)
@Astroking112 Thanks! The unlocks are actually pretty tough. Not many people collect all the fragments on their first run. Maybe you were just extra exploratory?
@N3mo Yeah I know what you're saying but I feel the first level gives you a good taste of what the entire game is like, as for the unlockables in the tutorial, there's maybe something I can do about that, we'll see.
@pixeldriver The DRM patch will probably be live by then, more levels are less likely.
@MalReynolds Always nice to hear somebody enjoyed your game, are the controls fixed for you in the most recent update?
Polarity is first game I bought intentionally for my Ouya. (I accidentally bought FFIII when I was trying to figure out how much it cost - ouch!) Polarity is a good game somewhat hampered by occasional lag/stuttering - not sure if it's software or hardware problem though to be honest. I also wish I could "run" just a bit faster in the game! Looking forward to any future updates that will make the game better. Great work so far.
Well, I did go refuse to move on to the next level until I had found all three data fragments, but I only ever had to repeat a level twice. I don't know, some were pretty well hidden (I got lucky in finding the one hidden to the left just before the level ends my second time), but a few seem to just be out in the open. I guess that I am paranoid in that game, though, as every time I started a level the first thing I did was turn around and make sure there was nothing behind me.
Maybe there could be a second type of collectible, one that is much rarer (There could be only one in a level, to keep things neat) after Story 02?
Just updated the game yesterday and it's working much better for me now - no lag! Great work! The only thing I noticed is that restarting a level seems to mute the sound? Not a major deal but maybe something to fix with a future update ;-)
I bought Polarity on the 20th of July and now after the update the game thinks that I don't bought the game and that i should rebuy the game Here is the Receipt No. 80545561914
Nope didn't do a thing, it's most likely Ouyas servers were having a moment, once it's been activated after the update you shouldn't need to connect to them again.
Ok I just finished the game and really enjoyed it! Initially I was disappointed with the Ouya but Polarity is the first exclusive game I've seen that shows that there is hope as long as good games are available. Well done The_Craig! I hope it sells well and you find the time to add more levels!
