Those are the instructions. You get the same on iPod or iPhone.

hmm, not seeing that, maybe it is on i phone and not droid version?
when i start it up, i get play now, select level, something that
sounds like start marathon, but nothing about instructions or tutorials.
when i start level one, it says find the fertilizer by tapping
the sound that is playing now.
so after 5 minutes of randomly moving around the screen, i found
the sound and tapped it, having had no clue what i was doing or why.
so you guys that have played this, any tips or know of anywhere i
can find instructions?
the fact that the developer has not even basic instructions on
their web site blows me away frankly.
i don't really get how a developer can spend countless hours
working on a game, then just throw in instructions as an afterthought.
check out Grey Matter's block party, the instructions are clear,
laid out well and easy to navigate.
compare that to castaways, jeremy knows i love his stuff, and
castaways so far has my vote for game of the year, but he also
knows i think his instructions are terrible, and a real turnoff for
a person just picking up the game.
as i've mentioned before, i've reccomended castaways to several
folks at blind adrenaline that i know to be fairly avid audio
gamers, only one of which ended up giving it an honest try because
they weren't clear on how the game worked, etc. remember, the vast
vast majority of audio gamers are not on this list, and do not get
all the information that jeremy and others have posted about the
game, a great deal of which i have found vital to playing it and
understanding it enough to play well.
this is a key element, and i think its a real tragedy when a good
game doesn't get a fair shot because the instructions aren't
complete or clear enough.
whew, anyhow, didn't mean to get on a rant there, just an aspect
of a lot of games i don't understand at all.
anyhow, stem stumpers has gotten good reviews, and i'd love to
check it out, but totally baffled as to how to even get going with it.
any info appreciated.
thanks,
che

Subject: [Audyssey] Stem stumper for smart phones
hey all, i purchased the game stem stumper for my android phone today
to help support development of audio games on smart phones in a small
way, as we have very few audio games so far.
anyhow, the reviews i have read of it say its great, but i cannot find
instructions on how it is played, or what the goal is or much else.
anybody out there played this either on iPhone or droid and can give
some info, or maybe a site where instructions can be found?
i searched for a solid ten minutes today, but came up empty handed,
the developers site doesn't seem to have instructions either, if they
do they seem to be well hidden.
thanks for any info.
