Hydrothermal for the iPad
Hydrothermal for the iPad
Liquid Defense is now available for the iPad. This is a port of the Mac version I wrote about six years ago, for about 80 hours of porting work it was definitely worth throwing on the iPad. Hydrothermal is a city simulator game where you create a space colony and ward off space invaders. You control every aspect of your city, from the basic layout to taxes and laws. I think the iPhone screen is too small to really play the game, so I didn't bother making a universal version. If the game does well enough the interface could be redone for the iPhone.
Feedback is welcome. If anyone has played GL Golf since the beginning they know that it has had over 60 feature adding updates over the years, most of which were suggested by users.

Unfortunately, it won't even open. No error messages, nothing. Two seconds, and back to the ipad's home screen. iOs 3.2.2.
Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Hum, did you try re-installing the app (delete then redownload) and restarting your iPad? I can't recreate the problem, sometimes these things happen though and usually a reinstall/restart fixes them

Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Nope. Same thing. Only now it takes little longer, maybe, 4-5 seconds (this, or I was misjudging earlier). And I'm not the only one - there is a review on the app page, and it is not me.
Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Are you running OS 4.2? My only guess could be that the game is timing out launching because of background tasks. The game loads a bunch of things at the start, and maybe on my development iPad it starts fine but on other iPads it is just a second to slow. Maybe try closing all other apps from the multitasking bar and launching?

3.2.2. No multitasking. (wow for answering on a holiday and happy belated thanksgiving!)
Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Thanks, happy belated thanksgiving too!
Can you upgrade your OS to version 4.2 and try? I don't have access to 3.2.2 to test, but I think the upgrade should fix the issue. I'm also trying to get crash logs from Apple, but they need a certain threshold of similar crashes before they will report them to me.

Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Hi thanks for the reply Jake.
The problem is the splash screen loads for about 5 seconds & then closes.
I'm using os 3.2.2 as I have issues with 4.2 & until the patches are out I have to wait.
I read that some are using 3.2.2 & have no problems so I thought I'd buy Hydrothermal.
Will remove it & reinstall when I get time today & post results here.
Thanks

Re: Hydrothermal for the iPad
Thanks for the report. I wish Apple would release the crash reports so I could pinpoint the issue. I'm going to try to get my iPad to crash on the splash screen today so that I can fix the bug, maybe I can flash down to 3.2.2 to try because its been working on my 4.2 device.

Hi,
uninstalled, redownloaded, rebooted & tried again. Same problem.
From what I read if you install os 4.2 you can't revert back to a previous os.
