    Amazing game by Collin, we were hoping for a feature and had interest, but unfortunately it's very competitive right now with dev houses gearing up for Christmas.

    Regardless, it's a fantastic game and were very excited to work with Collin and company. It embodies exactly what I wanted to be created with Buildbox: Really unique indie style games with heart.

    Darthy is really good @Collin Wade Thiessen. I may play again tonight until I pass out from my long day - it is that good!

    I can't thank community enough for all the support. Thank you Trey and the BBP crew for all the hard work that went into getting Darthy to store.

    Congratulations! The controls are great and the game play is very creative! Just a heads up, I played it for about ten minutes and made it to the 2nd rocket area (after about 6 ads) but the game crashed on a death during the 2nd rocket area (after "Hey Darthy Get Rent")

    [​IMG]

    i was able to boot it back up and continue from the checkpoint but then it crashed at the end of that scene right after I broke through the wall:

    Hopefully the Buildbox team can see what the problem is and use the information to make BB super stable. Let me know if you want me to email these crash reports

    @Collin Wade Thiessen I have been playing on iPad 2 with no crashes, FYI. The dash and jump buttons on the right side of the screen are perhaps slightly too far apart (on the iPad), but I have managed to get pretty far in the game without too much trouble.

    @Jamie Hard to get it just perfect for ipod/ipad/iphone. When it is perfect on ipad it is too close for iphone ipod so you have to find the best for both. Thanks for letting me know about no crashes. It is really hit or miss and can't pinpoint what it is yet.

    if I had to guess it's something trying to be accessed in memory that is not there

    It may also help to know what version of the operating system you are running. Is it 8.4 or 9.0 or?

    I have ios 9.1. But I don't think this matters. I think it's some glitch when physic objects do something they actually cant. Can you reproduce the crash?
