Re: Secret Exit to release games for N900
 

What I have noticed because I have downloaded the game several times the last days cause of firmware flashes is this.

When you go to the Ovi store using the browser on the N900 and click download it seems that nothing happens, but in fact it downloads in the background just not displaying any progress. So when I and probably others click download again and again, the browsers download queue adds up downloads, it all goes slower and finally you get a out of space prompt because many folks don't have the browser cache set to Auto. The largest cache size before auto is 40MB and that's what get full. Set your browser cache to Auto, then try to download the game, then in your browser click on the top menu and select Downloads to see whats going on.

IMO Nokia Store refusing a card that works just fine in other places does more to help piracy than file sharing sites.

Do you plan on sharing the game through a site that actually has a decent payment system?

Here's a crazy thought: How about E-bay? Does it matter if it's not OVI store? Can't you just set up a PayPal account or something? They are yet to refuse a payment from me and I've now made payments on all non-iced-over continents.

Thoughts?

Re: Secret Exit to release games for N900
 

*boggle* there's a download limit? Ew. I bought Zen Bound on seeing all the reviews had 5 stars and I liked the look of it, and I do enjoy it.

But I'd be awfully annoyed if I had to reflash for some reason, maybe more than once, and then couldn't download the files that Ovi knows perfectly well I've paid for, without paying again.

I presume the link doesn't just lead to the file for saving because it shows as 14kb or something in the App Manager?

Re: Secret Exit to release games for N900
 

There's a fair chance it isn't Nokia blocking it, but the card company.
Give the card company a call and ask.

Re: Secret Exit to release games for N900
 

He's right. No excuse for piracy. If you really wanna buy you'll find a way (like use your friend's card and pay him back, lots of ways like that).
And I used to pirate a lot. No excuse, did it because I can - still do sometimes when I don't have money to pay for games but I never make excuses for it.

It's good to know your opinions. I'm still hoping the intended target of my question will answer.

Re: Secret Exit to release games for N900
 

Almost a zen-like feeling to sit and swipe around and around and around... I like it. It will make the commute much shorter (I'm sure I'll miss my station more than once :))

Installed on second try, the first time I used 2.5G and got 8% before I switched to wlan.

Overall, 4 stars.

Regards,
Henrik

any other game in the pipe from secret exit?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

It's great to see this finally come to fruition, and i hope to see more great games from Secret Exit. Congratulations on a great initial offering!

I have renamed the thread and am going to unstick it now that it has had good exposure. Please continue to use it to announce new titles and make other official posts

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Great game secret exit !
Hope there are coming many more of your games to the N900.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

I purchase zen bound. love the game and look forward to new ones :P

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

have you tried moving MicroB engine ? it will free about 13mb and probably download location will be moved to 2gb partition as well?


note: I'm not sure this works in PR 1.2 , maybe Nokia already optified MicroB?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

clicked it once and it did downloaded it in the background, installed it and then started it without any problems. it did run verry smouthley without any lagg ore bugg's. realy nice graphic and pritty fun. Hope for many byers so we get more games like this =)

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Thanks!

SPiN bugs were addressed and a new version submitted to Ovi QA. Here's hoping for a swift approval (will probably be a few days) :)

There was a question if we would make Zen Bound for N900 available via some other means than Ovi Store. The answer is no. While it might give us a couple of more sales from people who are currently experiencing problems with the Ovi Store, it would be the wrong message.

We want to support Nokia in the long-term. Customers with their devices need to have a simple way to discover games and buy them, and it's up to Nokia to make sure that Ovi Store is the place to go for all apps.

Setting up third-party shops for Maemo games would be harmful both ways: customers would have more difficulties finding apps, since you'd have to guess which website to go to, and developers would have to waste tremendous resources in marketing their website as a place to download games from.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Well, thanks anyway, appreciate the reply.

I'll try again at some point, maybe they fixed it.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

just buyed, really really cool game. I use a virtual credit card

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

I wish I had a virtual credit card. Mine takes money out of my account

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Rotfl

I need one of those, also :D

Thanks for sticking with us and releasing the game.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

I no longer feel dizzy when playing this game - it requires getting used to, but it happens almost instantly.

Amazing game and unique experience - that's without a shadow of a doubt!

Thanks again, hope to see some other great games from Secret Exit at Ovi Store soon! *thinks of Stair Dismount and SPiN*

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Sometime the SFX it's silent.. the music plays but not the SFX.
Uninstalled a theme and it worked again... but after a while it stopped again.. what could it be?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Zen Bound is strangely addicting. I wrap up a couple of blocks, quit for a while, then find myself wanting to go wrap up more. :D

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Seriously just an awesome game. One of the first things I purchased when I got my n900 yesterday. It's that game that is so visually spectacular that you use it to demo your n900 to friends/family/techies alike.
Brilliant Secret Exit.
+1 give you all my $$$ for more like this.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Actually paid for this game twice due to an installation issue(my fault for removing it from the "My Stuff" list in Ovi the first time), but what an awesome game! I just hope I don't run of blocks any time soon lol

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

SPiN has passed Ovi QA and should be available as soon as the process allows.

For those who are unfamiliar with the game, here's a gameplay video from the iPhone version:
SPiN Gameplay on YouTube

In many ways, it's exactly the game Zen Bound is not: It's fast-paced, high-score oriented, hyper-kinetic and cheery.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Spin looks kind of hard to handle w/o multitouch...

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

SPiN on iPhone uses a two-finger gesture for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. On the N900 the same is accomplished with a quick swipe up or down near the edges of the screen.

Here's a screen grab from the game, the loading screen with the control scheme.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Are there no performance implications for such an action?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Hi Frand,

Thank you to you and to all your colleagues at Secret Exit for porting Zen Bound - I bought it today and even though I have only played it briefly, I know already that I'm going to love it.

Thank you for taking the risk and supporting the N900 :)

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Two weeks since Zen Bound appeared to ovi. Dare to share some numbers?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

SPiN has entered the Ovi store! Gotta try it out... It's also a bit cheaper than Zen Bound.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

On zenbound, the accelormeter on my phone isn't working with it, initially it was, and everything was great, then the game started crashing a couple of times (before even opening), now it opens, and i can start playing, and can spin the .... wooden objects, but turning the phone doesn't move the rope at all...

Maybe a redownload will help.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Have you tried rebooting? I've had the accelerometers just stop working once or twice now, and a reboot fixed them.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

trying to download spin at the moment but nothing is happening payment went through but when i click download nothing happens. ive tried waiting ages like i had to with zen bound but its just doing nothing

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

I'll buy this game later. Looks pretty good.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Just a side question:

If I buy a paid app from the store and for some reason I reflash my device, do I need to pay for the app again, or will Ovi remember what I bought on my account?

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

ovi store will remember. you can also download the .deb file to your PC to backup it, since the amount of downloads is limited.
just change your user agent on your pc to the one from the N900 (if necessary at all) and download it there.

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

Are there any alternative ways to purchase the games? Yesterday I decided to give the OVI store another try (I want ZEN Bound so much, I was going to even risk everything by using that faulty store :P ), but then had to realise that they only accept credit cards.

Any way to purchase the games through a fully functional shop that also allows for other payment methods (PayPal, invoice, advance payment)? :(

zen bound game play issues
 

love this game, finally a quality app I didn't regret paying for. sometimes the game controls become unresponsive, not the touch input, but the popup menu items.
if I complete an object and then return to it none of the game options function, such as "restart" or "exit", and the "X" in the upper right corner doesn't quit the game. the only way to quit the game at this point is to minimize it with the keyboard and tap the "x"

Re: Secret Exit's official N900 games thread
 

just purchase spin, highly addictive fast pace action love it
