Surprise! Well, we were surprised anyway. I am in the middle of getting ready for vacation and finishing assets for episode 22, Ooga Jump, figuring we had another few days till it was approved. Guess not! So, not to get cocky, maybe the Apple update slowdown was temporary after all.
In this update, I'm sure you've all noticed the bird and what happens when you poke it! It also seems to like fish. So how so you get the bird to pick up the pygmy? Well...like I said the bird likes fish!
There is also some new features to the underwater area. The ability to create a whirlpool and some added "life" to the background. This was just a little added touches and is NOT the last we'll do with the underwater area (update hint).
Another feature is that the achievements are now being recorded in Feint. And you can unlock achievement icons as you increase your best at coconut bounces, lightning zaps, etc. Oh, and don't forget the bird bombs!
The next update is called "Ooga Jump". I've designed the lion's share of the assets and Dave is programming it as I type. So I will let everyone know when it is submitted. Both Dave and I do have some vacation happening over the next week, but I'll try to keep the blog updated anyway!
Oh, and Dave already found a review of Flipping the Bird! Little blurry but quick turn around! Thanks Supermaynesam.
Supermaynesam has way too much time on his hands. I am amazed that he already made a review on the day that the update came out. I am very glad to hear that you guys are already working on the next update. :)
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for posting my longest comment ever. I am very grateful for that.
The Dodo was a bird which couldn't fly!! Everyone knows that...
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is the apple profile for PG the same? Any way, can you post the icon for Ooga Jump? I wonder what Ooga Jump is about? LOL JP Im glad you did something for doodle jump. Oh and Dave follows everyone on twitter that follows him but me (molebobby)! Oh yeah and I'm not gonna say FIRST COMMENT! Because it probably isn't! God, I hate it when people do it! It's really anyoing and no one cares you posted a comment before anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like shift.... am i right
ReplyDeleteFeint won't acknowledge the achievements I already had before this update so like the pygmie bowling and skewing achievements I got (I got 6 in each so I can't just get a better score) are unrecognized.is there any way you can fix that or am I gonna have to uninstall and re download the app... I would really rather not do the second suggestion because i have some pretty high scores.. But on another subject great update I can't put it down :)
ReplyDeletePuppylover #1,
ReplyDeletePlease read my new comment in the last article where you commented me.
I can't seem to unlock achievements on feint that i already unlocked.... is there a way to wipe my current score data so i can start again and unlock the achievements...
ReplyDeleteI hope that makes sense
Hey, guys, uh.. I have encountered an issue. How do you unlock the Feint achievements for previously reached records? I know, surpass them, right? Well, how do you surpass "Pygmies Skewered" and "Pygmies Bowled"? Help me! I want to be a God!
ReplyDeleteI had that two-fishing-pole slide glitch happen again today too.
What does the whirlpool do? All it does for me is spin the pygmies around...
Love the "Carried Away!"
Can't wait for Ooga Jump! Hope it'll be fun!
-dargshmargit
ashut up tekko at least its funny lol jk yea but its still LOL
ReplyDeletewhy was the double touch to move water removed? I thought that was great and it prevented a lot of accidental waves. I also second the comments about achievements I've already earned and can't get now.
ReplyDeleteif you throw the bird in the water and then quickly strike it with lightning, it is so cool . try it.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to be able to get the feint enbled achievments. After I do what it says nothing happens. Is this normal?
ReplyDeleteI love the app, but the new update is crashing on me. It never used to. How can I fix this? Do I have to download it again?
ReplyDeleteSUGGESTION READ! REALLY GOOD!
ReplyDeleteOkai, now that I have your attention, this is my crazy idea. You know how you can ressurect them islanders? Well, 1 out of 3 ressurections, instead of an islander falling from the sky, make it that a ZOMBIE pygmie comes out of the ground and kills the pygmies by like eating their heads or something. To kill it, just flick it, jaja xD
Well I hope you consider this.
First:
ReplyDelete"You KNOW you love pocket god"
Now: (In video)
"I KNOW you will enjoy this app."
I created a tsunami then create a whirlpool and skewered five pygmies. I got the achievments sparkly thing but then it took me to feint And asked if I wanted to post my achievment on facebook. I declined. When it took me back to the game there was a blank achievment sparkly thing in the middle of my. Screen. I didn't really mind since it made me feel good about myself but it became a bi. Of a hassle. It would be much appreciated if it were eliminate from this awesome app. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeletepesky bird stole my pigmy, i like this update very much lol, seen it suggested on here before. So ill sujest mine, i would like to be able to raise the pigmies much higher 'til they reach space where they would start to choke and turn blue then eventually pop. yay
ReplyDeletethe updait rocks, but...
ReplyDeleteI have to make NEW achevments for them to be recorded, I would be a dimi god in shark snaps, but I did it before the updait, so I have to beat that for it to be recorded... (that is HARD) so, I think if you can on the next updait, let it sync with your old records and stuff...
Feint won't acknowledge my acheivements! it stinks too because I'm a god in most of the things. Anything I can do?
ReplyDeletei cant get my previously earned achievements on fient can you fix this plz. thanks
ReplyDeleteThat's weird it came out already. Apple must have gotten their act together. Few problems i hope you fix: You can't seem to get achievments in feint unless you haven't already gotten them in game. Also you need a new god type FIRE and maybe BIRD and also a new sacrifice: Whirlpool then Skewer
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion for Pocket God:
ReplyDeleteIn the toolbar, when the moon is out, you can turn on a little "moon meter". You can change it from new moon to crescent to gibbous to full. This doesn't do much unless the moon is full. THEN...
A WEREWOLF SHOWS UP! This wolf will hop onto the island, bite a Pygmy, and leave. The Pygmy will turn into a werewolf pygmy thing, and bite others. This will either kill them or turn them into werewolves (you can choose which Pygmy has which effect in the Pygmy Profile thingy).
Now for the fun parts. When the sun or sunrise is turned on, the Pygmy returns to normal, but looks...hairier (wolfier?). And if you do the typhoon when the Pygmy is a werewolf, the Pygmy will die, b/c water kills werewolves.
And best of all, if there is a vampire and a werewolf on the island, they will fight each other and one will get killed (also random.)
I sadly won't have an iPod Touch until my b-day in September, but the first app I'll buy will be POCKET GOD! (I've played it on a friend's iPod Touch.)
Hey i found an annoying glitch... if you have a record higher then a archievement then it doesnt update -.- any ideaqs on fixing it?
ReplyDeleteThe feint function for achievements won't show up on things I've already gotten the max for like bowling so I can't get those achievements to register. I'm assuming that the feint achievements are linked to the pocket god achievement pop-up. Is there anyway to fix this because I cannot get that pop up anymore to get my feint achievement. If this is a possibility it would also be cool to have a pop up saying you tied your high score because the achieement animations can be interesting and it could solve the problem with feint.
ReplyDeleteBug: you only can post your achievements if you are online AND you set an new personal record, so if you can't go higher with your pers record then it wil not be posted online whats pretty annoying.
ReplyDeleteBig Shark!
ReplyDeleteHi Bolt Creative! I wras thinking if you could make a survey about the next updates. We could chose the next update by voting and make another contest about making a Pocket God Wallpaper!
Hey, how about an update where you customize one pygmy as yourself (hair color, gender, etc.) and then you could share it with your friends through Feint and collect other people's pygmies. I think it would be uber-cool if my idea was even thought about, let alone created!
ReplyDeleteI can't unlock achievments in feint that i alredy unlocked in previus episodes!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd when i'm in the under water land and trying to get out it just creats the underwater swirle thing
wherever i touching on the screen =(
fix it
yea and I did notice a bug
that there is two dishing rods
stuck on the screen sometimes
and the graphics is also running a bit slower on my ipod touch 1G
fix it!!!!!!
Hi Bolt Creative ! What an Incredible Update ! O.o ! I can't realize that! I really Like the Dodo, he's so cool ! I have an Idea : It would be great if you can take the Dodo accross the Shark..And He would eat It ! :D Also..I cant wait for -Ooga Jump !- (Ooga is the King of Pygmies for everyone who don't know!) :P Also..Talk more about the Alien and The Red Dot ! Im so Excited about That ! And please..Yes Please.. Give Huts and Clothes for Pygmies, everyone talk About that !
ReplyDelete- Nick Roy, Super Fan !
I think you should check if we got an OpenFient achievement every time we do something instead of only if we beat our previous score... Presently, if you want to unlock the open feint achievements, you have to beat your local score first and then all the achievements will unlock that should. Can we change this for the next update so we can get achievements without having to beat our old scores?
ReplyDeleteLOL! "So not to get COCKY" jajajaj xD
ReplyDeleteSorry.. ahahah :P Cocky...
I think there should be an update where you can customize one pygmy as yourself (hair style, hair color, gender, etc.) and share with your friends through Feint. Then you could look through all your friends and collect their pygmies.
ReplyDeleteFeint did get better after this update. Did anyone figure out how to make the bird pick up the pygmy?
ReplyDeleteH bolt creative, this update is awsome and the best you have done in some time so if i may i will make a big suggestion for the "Red planet" update so that it ends being a cool update.
ReplyDeleteFirst, at night you could touch the red dot many times(like the moon and the bat) and an alien spaceship would appear and suck the pygmies into it. Then they appear in a reddish landscape with no water, no sun or moon, space instead of sky with a mini version of the earth and a hole in one side of the landscape were pigmies dont walk. You could pick up pygmies and throw them into the hole, also you could touch the hole many times and a giant alien would come out of it and eat the pygmies one by one(like momma Rex) and the only way to kill it is to throw it back into the hole. When distance flicking pygmies, they appear in the space background floating and exploding for the lack of air pressure.
Finally, to go back to earth just touch it 3 times and the spaceship appears and takes them back to Island Oog. Thanks for reading and I hope you take it in count.
Ps:The idea of making variesties of pygmies isnt good, its just too stupid too do genders and hairstyles and all that junk, they wouldnt be pygmies anymore.
Ps2:itechnoguy the bird eats the fish so get a fish, put a pygmy near it and BINGO! the Dodo takes the pygmy.
