6 star ratings

[ahaha.wav]

Loving the game, but I really feel like there has to be something I'm missing with 6 star ratings as I haven't managed to land a single one so far even with a bunch of retries. My last five star run of Underground Station was 16 mins with 98.95% accuracy, 0 deaths, 0 bottles, 6 perfect combos, 3/3 artifacts and 6/6 critters. Really not sure what I'm doing wrong here as I feel like I'd really be struggling to do much better. The endscreens could maybe do with a clearer indication of where points are being lost.

I'd also maybe suggest an option to skip tutorials/cutscenes on repeat playthroughs as it makes for faster runs when trying for 6 stars.

Hi there

Thank you for taking the time to report this. I think there is a bug with the stats here.

I will be looking into it as a priority this week. I appreciate this is very frustrating for people trying to get the high scores. It should be patched in the next few days.

Re: tutorial/cutscene skip - I understand the request. We have to be very careful with any implementation here due to the dialogue choices and recording game progress for players. If we do introduce this it won't be in the very near future as I am focussing on technical/gameplay issues reported. You are well within the time goal for the area.

Thank you

Tom

Thanks for the clarification, appreciate you taking the time to respond to individual issues!

The cutscenes are a relatively minor issue so it absolutely makes sense to make other things your priority. As far as I'm concerned you've hit it out of the park in terms of quality, especially for a smaller dev team. Looking forward to seeing what else you produce in the future.

So I just loaded a save prior to the train sequence, deliberately died once, then drank a bottle of water and continued as usual and it resulted in a 6 star rating. I saw your post on another thread and think you're right in that it's an issue with having 0 deaths/0 bottles. 1 bottle and 0 deaths also resulted in 5 stars.
