Re: blindfold racer, new game for ios.
Well I've finally tried this one out.
I rather like the mix of music and the idea behind the game, though I do wish you could skip some of the voice sequences sinse while I understand the game was aimed at kids having to be constantly told in a very breezy tone "you didn't hit any animals" was getting a bit irritating when I wanted to see the next level.
on the other hand I love the mix of music in the game used as indicators, (nice to drive along to everything from Baroque classical guitar to string quartet, and electronica, that definitely suits my own eclectic taste).
The one major problem I'm having however is controlling the dam car and I suspect this is due to how I'm holding the Iphone sinse the instructions I didn't particularly find specific on how to hold the thing.
I tried holding the phone perpendicula to the floor as usual and then rotating my hands downwards, so that the angle of the phone as compared to t he floor and ceiling increased as I turned, that did nothing, I then tried rotating my hands on the horizontal plane, keeping the phone screen upwards but rotating so that the home button on the right moved towards or away from me, like rotating a disk, that didn't seem to work either.
The only way I could get the dam rotation to work was holding the phone on edge at 90 degrees with the screen facing me and rotating like a real steering wheel in a car. the problem however is that though this works fine some of the time, at other points (I suspect when the phone isn't exactly in the right position), for some weerd reason the controls would not work at all and my car would just helplessly roll on in one direction and boing off fences! .
That is why my scores on levels range from absolutely perfect, to a zero (or at least as close to zero as you seem to be a ble to get in the game.
I hope my explanation of what I tried here makes sense.
I suspect I'm doing something wrong with holding tthe thing, I admit spacial coordination is not my strong point, so I'd appreciate knowing exactly how I should be holding and rotating the phone sinse the tutorial just said "have the home button on the right and rotate" which didn't particularly help much given I've not played any rotational games before.
I also would love to see this game updated to work with the gyroscope the way papasangre2 didd, sinse physically turning my body to steer the car (or even better using my swivvle chair), would be rather good fun and also make considderably more sense to me.
Sinse however it doesn't have a gyro mode and we're left with rotation I'd appreciate some explanation as to what exactly I'm doing wrong here
