Burn The Rope Gets Its First Update: Burns More, Burns Better, And Burns Into Game Center
January 14, 2011
As noted in our review, posted just two days ago, Big Blue Bubble had been hard at work and already submitted the first update to Burn the Rope. Today is the day, and Burn the Rope has been updated with more levels, more flame, better controls, Game Center, and more.
Burn the Rope v1.1 seems to cover the major gripes our review team encountered. I didn't play v1.0, so I can't compare, but turning corners does seem fairly fluid. To be a bit more specific, the flame burns long enough for you to notice that the corner hasn't been reached; providing enough time to turn back temporarily. On some occasions, the flame may even work its way around the corner without turning back.
Big Blue Bubble did indeed integrate Game Center features. There are seven leaderboards, a complete high score and one for each stage, and 30 achievements, with a total of 600 points, to earn your way through.
Additionally, Burn the Rope now offers 16 more levels, three new flame types, iPod music access, and some level tweaks, plus the normal maintenance fixes.
Burn the Rope v1.1 currently sports a four-and-a-half-star rating, up one full star from the original release. If that weren't enough, the improvements continue to move on as Burn the Rope v1.2 is already under construction, and set to include:
• Retina display support
• Improved graphics and sound
• full level re-design
• 16 new levels
• more insects!
Burn the Rope is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later. You can get your copy of Burn the Rope in the App Store for $.99, 50% off of the regular price, up until v1.2 becomes available.
