As of today the updated version 1.0.2 of our retro-style arcade game Qake is available to download on the Apple App Store. The update contains major improvements, gameplay changes, additional features and bug fixes:
New localization: Korean
With the help of our good friend Yann Prell (@yannprell) who translated the game, we are now able to offer Qake with Korean localization! Therefore, if your device is set to prefer the Korean language, Qake will now be displayed with Korean texts.
New features
Highscore sharing
You are now able to share your latest highscores with your friends right out of the game. After earning a new highscore, you can press the share button and post your trophy (including a screenshot of your score) to various social networks such as Facebook and Twitter or send it as a text message or email to challenge and impress your friends and family!
In-game Tutorial
To facilitate easy adoption of Qake for new players, we have created a tutorial video introducing all major aspects and gameplay mechanics of Qake. Access it from the About screen in the game or on YouTube to get to know Qake.
Want to know even more about how Qake works and the entities that populate the game? Head over to our Blog and read about it's Game Entities and randomized level generator!
Reworked About screen
Apart from adding the new tutorial video, we have completely redesigned the About screen of our game. Feel free to rate, share and follow Qake on your favorite social networks right away!
Gameplay changes
Increased player movement speed
In reaction to your feedback (which we are very thankful for!) we have increased the movement speed of the player token significantly. This change on the one hand reduces game difficulty at lower levels while on the other hand facilitating a more rapid gameplay.
Increased game entity spawning rates
Based on your feedback we not only increased player movement speed, but also boosted the rate at which bombs and power ups spawn in the game. This change acts as somewhat of a countermeasure to the increased player speed, but also increases your chances to pick up precious power ups and earn the valued Collector and God Mode achievements.
Reworked in-game graphics
For your convenience and pleasure we reworked all in-game graphics to support the capabilities of all the latest iOS devices. While incorporating more detail for the newest high-end gear, we tried to preserve Qake's retro feel.
We love to get your feedback! Let us know how you like the new gameplay changes via Facebook, Twitter or the contact form!
Bug Fixes
Freeze on wakeup
Unfortunately, with the introduction of iOS 8, a small bug with severe implications managed to sneak it's way into our beloved game. This bug, which froze the game after wakeup from home screen, should now be fixed and not cause any more troubles.
