Approved - Fishing Paradise 3D

Ok so this is a non BT app but still would not have happened if it wasn't for BT. This game is the result of 18 months blood, sweat and tears... and then a few more tears! If you have a spare 5 mins please play, rate and review my new fishing game, its totally cross platform so you can play on Facebook and pick up where you left off on your iPhone... don't worry it's on Droid too :) iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fishing-paradise-3d/id595361386?ls=1&mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.promedia.fishingparadise Facebook https://apps.facebook.com/fishing_paradise/SocialFishing_0.php?fb_source=timeline

Awesome expansive game with gorgeous graphics. Amazing stuff. Just a small issue on Android, when I enter as a guest (haven't tried through fb) I can't find an option to quit the game, if it's there it's not intuitive. The 'sign out' option in the menu goes back to the login screen but my device back button remains disabled. (HTC One X - ics 4.1.0). I'll leave 5 stars once I can quit the game! btw, my first catch was 2oz! lol! **Edit** Had to reboot device to quit game

Thanks @raveyd appreciate your kind words, you are correct re: expansive, this release is just the start I have some killer new features in the pipeline! interesting, I thought the ability to quit an application was done via handset button? I will look into it, actually my brother has reported a couple minor bugs with the HTC One (Android platform has been a nightmare!) 2oz!? lol its a start keep playing theres some monters in there!

Managed to leave 5 stars! Yeah, my handset button is disabled from the loading screen onwards - can't imagine the android problems you must have faced. Gotta say, the fishing scene is amazing, almost like a video. Will be trying for a bigger catch later! lol

haha! Now I feel stupid! Just tried the home button, works fine. Funny, years of hitting the back button has lead to home button blindness..

Got me a big un! 8oz :( Man, I wish I could make apps like this! This is really an incredible piece of work you have here..I was playing it and kust kept noticing small details that are actually pretty ingenious. For instance, being rewarded with coins for sharing on Facebook..nice! Did you have a team working on this or is it all you? hope it makes you a cool million

How is this game made, I guess with Unity 3D? Did you build/designed it on your own? Kick ass nice graphics! Vidal

Wow, very impressed, I'd have to get some designers if I wanted to even think of trying something like that. And of course some more experience. Truly inspiring

Hey Walms, Wouldn't call this a bug, but it should be minor to fix. Running Note 2. When I start the game the splash is small, only after Facebook logs in does the screen stretch, also happens when you minimize the game and open it again it shows the small image. So if my noobness doesn't send me astray it's just a case of loading the correct size splash before you try to log into the fb. Abrie

@Icion & @mysps thanks for reporting the small splash you see is displayed when the Unity game engine is loading, the image is designed to be compatible with all possible Android devices so the image is default 320x280px. Your devices have high res screens :) After game engine has loaded the package is launched with optimised splash screen :)

My main problem I'm having is getting stuck in with a ENORMOUS fish, and at 80% it throws the loading screen to connect to facebook and I am thrown out of the lake are back to the main area. Is it required to have a always on connection to Fb?

yes although it shouldn't throw you out of the game, it should display a "re-establish network connection" popup with a retry button. It needs a data connection because of cross platform compatibility, otherwise if you purchased shiners on your iPhone for example they would not display on Facebook. It should be able to go short periods without a connection to account for temp drop in signal. What do you mean by 80%? do you mean 80% of the way to landing the fish. Thanks for reporting these issues we are treating this version as a public beta so your comments are much appreciated

Yes,sorry, busy landing fishes is when it normally throws me to the main area. The system shouldn't be able to log a person on at several different locations. I mean I believe it should work fine when you have access to wifi 24/7, but where I come from people shy away from always on connections. But that is just my 2 cents.

does it ask you to try and re-establish a connection or does the game just quit back to the main area? whats 3G coverage like in SA? I know you have big fish down there! thanks

I normally have H+, data is still relatively expensive only wifi belongs at home :). 3G Coverage is not bad which made me wonder why it reconnects. It doesn't so me anything, the fb guest icon pops up with loading screen and then sends you back to main area. Yeah, I go fly fishing every December in the mountains. Love it

Hey Walms, Found another issue, when in a competition and your rod brakes for the first time it carries on with competitions. I bought 2 new reels. (accidently double-tapped) anyway, after the comp your tutorial came up on fixing, not sure if it would've been different if it wasn't in a competition. I'll stop bug testing and just enjoy the game if you want :)
