Achivements and Leaderboards

[m4xc4v413r4]

Why don't we have achivements and leaderboards? I think that's a must on any steam game :/

[Corinarh]

yeah i also noticed that

[JooN]

There is both actually. Go into stats, you'll see your awards, and go into replays > internet you'll get the leaderboard.

There are no steam achievement, but who cares ?

Using the Steam leaderboards and achievements actually became a pretty tough technical hurdle for the game. I'm still looking into it, but for now there's the entirety of http://share.offspringfling.com that can be used.

I miss the days when people played games for fun, and not to show off their achievements on Steam.

It's not about showing off, it's about having more objectives...
Back then the objective was finishing the game... that's not enough these days, that's too easy, now we need to have more objectives, like trying to make all the achievements and trying to beat someone else's time.

Thank you for your reply. Never tought the actual dev would reply :)
It's good to know that you are trying to do it. I don't doubt that it isn't as straight forward as we must think.

Thank you for the amazingly fun game.

I think this game has plenty of that within the game. There are plenty of objectives to complete, and plenty of times to beat. Unless you have beaten 100% of the dveloper times and beaten the game 100%, then there are plenty of things left to do without needing to go achievement hunting. Now, If you HAVE done all of those things, then you should go make some youtube tutorials for the rest of us mere mortals. Regardless, I don't think completing this game 100% can be qualified as "too easy"

I agree with this.

Well there seems to be achievements now.

Indeed! I just released a new build for PC that implements Steam achievements. They're triggered during the level select screen, so all you have to do is boot up the game and you'll get some achievements if you've been playing already.

Thanks Kyle! You're a class act.

They don't appear to be unlocking, at least not on my end. Have none at all, cleared 20 levels so far so I should be seeing at least the one to clear a level and some increase on the counters having earned blue and gold flowers.

Glad to see achievements added though!

Hey ladynadiad, achievements didn't work for me too but today game downloaded 20MB patch and it started to work properly.

[kpulv]

Yeah, there's an updated build that Steam needs to update before you'll be unlocking any achievements. I think you can force it to check for an update if you try to verify the local game data.

Yep, that did work. Weird, normally Steam is good about updating when they come out as long as I'm not playing the game, and even then once I exit the game then.
