Sentinel 3: Homeworld – now for OSX on the Mac App Store!

[Caledai]

Overall it looks pretty good.

[b:jezb7q9l]A few points however – esp considering its ported across.[/b:jezb7q9l]

There needs to be an option to save the game on exit like the iPhone/iPad apps do, and then the option to resume or start a new level.

When on a computer is it possible to zoom in – and then move with the mouse cursor if you go to the edge of the screen – building in more computer centric controls in addition to the controls ported across

It doesn’t seem to handle tap to click as well – for instance after tapping to select a tower, I have to double tap to upgrade.
The gestures that work on the multi touch screen of the iPhone/iPad.

Not sure if the Feint/Game Centre frameworks have been updated to work on 10.6.6 – but there doesn’t appear to be any high scores, leaderboards, achievements etc that you would expect on the iPhone Apps.

Last option – and probably the hardest to achieve I guess – would be to consider sync’ing/backing up profiles across multiple devices. For instance I have all 3 sentinels on the iPhone, 3 and Space station on the iPad and now 3 on the computer.

Thanks for the feedback, Caledai. There’s a thread discussing zoom issues on OSX further down the forum – please add your thoughts if you’re having any problems. Unfortunately neither Openfeint nor Game Center work on OSX, and we’ve not heard anything about them being ported over in future, so global high scores and achievements are currently unavailable.

Hi thank you for your feedback!

I’m glad you are enjoying the game, there are no plans yet for a Sentinel 4, although we have just finished out add-on pack for the iPhone version which may arrive on the mac version at some point in the future.

I’ve been playing this on my Andoird and am addicted. Excellent game! On the Android, I’ve managed to unlock quite a lot of the weapons and upgrade my Commander. Is there any way to port those accomplishments to the OSX version or do I have to start from scratch again? Also, on the Android version, there’s an option to download everything unlocked for a small fee. Is that going to be available on OSX?

[Repair Drone]

Sorry, there’s no way of transferring unlocks or progress between different platforms. The OSX version is the base game, without in-app purchases, and we don’t have any update plans at the moment.

I just recently purchased the Mac version of Sentinel 3: Homeworld and am absolutely loving it! However, after finding out about the great additions that have been added to the iOS versions of the game, I was just wondering when the Mac version would be updated to include them. While the game is great as it is, it would be undoubtably even better if I could access that additional content on my Mac. If someone could let me know when this will happen, I’d be very grateful.

[Repair Drone]

Sorry, but we don’t have any firm plans to bring Campaign 2 and other updates to the Mac version of the game. We’d love to do so, of course, but we also have to keep an eye on whether the work will pay off, and unfortunately the Mac game has been nowhere near the seller that the iOS and Android versions have been, so a Campaign 2 update is fairly low priority.

Glad you’re otherwise enjoying the game!
