Congrats! All the best to your project!

However, there appears to be a slight problem with your announcement, that is according to Rovio Peter left the company some 3 years ago…

[MicroMax]

I don’t think anybody will ever shoot quite like Tom at least not in Space. Will miss his special humour and sometimes undecipherable stRATs.

In case you ever wondered what @Rat9 stands for this is a quote from one of our discussions: ‘Rare Alien Talent from planet 9’

Edit: The quote may not be the whole truth or it may be possibly one of several truths about the matter. To whom it may concern the conversation can be read here about half page down:

@smwforever45
Well, Germany being the latest World Cup winners I just thought there might very well be such a department in the police force ;-)

Not to speak of what´s been going on in Fifa lately…

[MicroMax]

“Stupid football” @smwforever45, really? Shouldn´t you beware of the ‘fußball polizei’ :^D

Otoh some time next week I may understand…

[MicroMax]

Football say you @smwforever45, where? I definitely have to get there soon…

[MicroMax]

Thanks @smwforever45 for an idea of the required 3* score. Actually 523800 was enough and 364k was not. Lvl 8 so far the only one out of 12 that required a kind of plan to reach 3*.

@pampeans I have been wishing for a slomo replay button on several AB games for a long time but never as much as now to be able make any kind of sense of what is happening in Action.

[MicroMax]

How many points @smwforever45 to 3* lvl 8?

[MicroMax]

Confused is putting it mildly @pampeans. I recall complaining about the AB2 scoring but this game is raising it to a whole new level… and I really tried to 3* level 8 in vain whereas every other of the first 10 levels 3 starred at first run?!

[MicroMax]

Hi @kedik22,
I am certainly agreeing that Rovio has a lot of room for improvement. Probably all of us wish that Rovio could be a better company in a number ways and try to push them towards improvements whenever possible.

[MicroMax]

Aren´t you being a bit harsh @kedik22? After all Rovio is only acting like 99% of companies do. Otoh @bankler – a member of the AB2 dev team – is in direct contact with users, something 99% of companies will (90% probably have strict rules against) never do. My respect to @bankler even though I have issues with AB2 and have effectively stopped playing it several months ago in favor of older AB-games. Wish other teams in Rovio had there own ‘banklers’.

[MicroMax]

The votes from Finland (no, not Rovio, that wouldn’t be proper):

The common attribute of my choices is their remarkable loyalty to the nick they represent.

Windwalker – since I nominated this, I never had any doubt of the excellence
Solitaire – if I had water resistant tablet and did live in Iceland, I would probably have done that already
Jlz-666 – black cat with red on shoulder and with expressive tail, need I say more

Ty for all your effort @e-star and Merry Xmas Everybody!

[MicroMax]

@mvnla2, @kedik22, @sutekh137 and anyone else it may concern, please read @bankler comments. Short story: bug found, fix in next update, not cumulative score.

[MicroMax]

Wouldn´t be so sure @mvnla2. Saw the (potentially) fixed arena listing already 2 days ago, then list full of ‘unknowns’ again yesterday. It´s anybodys quess what tomorrow will bring ;-)

[MicroMax]

And the Arena still uses cumulative score to determine the final result.

My extensive experience with client/server and database systems allows me to speculate that this must be a fairly simple bug on the server side not requiring new version of the app (client in IT-speak). @bankler do, please, remind those who should be concerned, whenever possible, that this should have been fixed already.

[MicroMax]

@burbman, @pjng disappearing cards happens almost every time in the last room of level 35. I am trying to record a video of that level, so I have played it guite a lot lately.

[MicroMax]

Well @sweetp, you could after doing one of the following: root, install 3rd party Lollipop or get new device. I took the 3rd option in february. My fairly decent 8″ LG cost only 130€ and migration from 3 year old Samsung was much easier than the thread on the subject lets one to believe.

[MicroMax]

To be exact @sweetp, I have Az Screen Recorder – No root by Hecorat.

[MicroMax]

Hi @sweetp, AzSR does not share by it shelf, but it will invoke all suitable apps for that, for instance Youtube-app, if it is installed. I use VidTrim for trimming (AzSR after small payment would handle this too) and Youtube for upload.

[MicroMax]

Thanks for the info @gladvold! Everyplay worked pretty well for me while it lasted. However it was never available even for nearly every android device.

My current solution is Az Screen Recorder. It is only available for Android 5+ aka Lollipop but it works for any app including all AB-games. I do have problems occasionally with Lollipop being overly eager to free memory, since my device has only 1GB ram.

There is a nice example of what you can do with AzSR in AB2-forum courtesy of @scott-katz:

[MicroMax]

Thanks @cranky knew I was forgetting something! Added #7 to original message.

[MicroMax]

Thanks @bankler for confirming what I kind of new. Of course you follow every source of information relevant to your games ;-) sometimes it’s just difficult to tell at this end of line. So anything you can communicate here is certainly appreciated.

I should point out that I mostly love the game visuals&mechanics and so very much would love to be proven wrong in what I speculated about the current state of Rovio.

In my point of you view the good thing about decisions is that they can be changed, if/when the deciders have what it takes to admit that they were misguided.

[MicroMax]

Well @baddy2004, that I would understand, if the gems were bird shaped ;-)

[MicroMax]

Hi @e-star, did promise to keep my eyes open, so here is my 1st nomination: @windwalker. The avatar is not cute/colorful nor bird/pig but it certainly portrays a windwalker artistically. The bigger the version the more it pleases my eye.

[MicroMax]

Well done @mvnla2! I have no need to delete SPOP but I am hopeless on these timeout levels and cannot get past 22 even with the great videos @mighty-red-1 provided. I am also refusing to pay real money for f2p games and right now daily challenges and mirror worlds are so very much more rewarding than grinding a single level on spop.

[MicroMax]

Just finished 5 levels. While it is not physics based like AB games, can see myself enjoying this kind of challenges as well.
