A Gaming Diary
Str8ts (iPhone)
So, I was getting addicted to this. It’s a wonderful puzzle. However, I got a phone call while solving a puzzle. When I went back to the game, it crashed when trying to go to my last game. I could play all difficulties except the easiest, which is where I really need to be right now. In the end, I had to reset my data and start over from the beginning. (You can’t choose puzzles to play, you have to do them in order in each difficulty.)
A pretty fatal flaw, really, so before I went to bed I pouted on the Touch Arcade forums and sent an email to the developer. I woke up this morning to find two responses, one private message on the forum and one email, explaining that I’d been sent a private message and going into more detail about the problem, which seems to be very rare – and which only occurs on a few of the early levels, even then. The developers are apparently fixing things and hope to have an update sent off to Apple forthwith. Now that’s service.
Bad bug, yes, but great service, brilliant game. As Meat Loaf said, two out of three ain’t bad. In this case, I’d go further and say that it’s really rather good. I’ll carry on playing, at any rate.
