Q: Where's the demo?
We didn't have enough time to put one together for the
initial release and it's nontrivial to make it happen.
We don't expect to release a demo anytime soon. We
are focusing our efforts on a follow-on release to include
multiplayer.
Q: What happened to multiplayer support?
We decided to concentrate on releasing the single-player
game before turning our attention to mulitplayer. Networking
a game as fast-paced and intense as Xploids is a challenge
and we decided it would be best to release the game
in stages.
Q: Why can't I see the global high scores on my
device?
There is currently a bug in the Tapwave conduit that
prevents the global high scores from syncing to the
device. However, you can still view the high score at
my.tapwave.com or through the desktop app once you've
registered your device with Tapwave.
Q: Can I get Xploids on something other than Zodiac?
No. We're thrilled with the Tapwave platform and are
focusing on it exclusively. We may port to other platforms
someday as they begin to provide similar capabilities.
Q: How do you pronounce "Xploids"?
Internally we pronounce it, "z-ploy-d'z"
Q: Why can't I fire my bullets faster? (There seems
to be a delay)
Each gun is goverened (e.g. 3 or 10 shots per second
max depending on the power-up). Between each shot the
gun recharges before firing again. By holding down the
fire button, you will fire at the maximum possible rate.
Q: What happens at higher levels?
Space expands, the number of waypoints grow, waypoints
begin moving, enemy ships appear, enemy ships close
waypoints, enemy ships steal powerups, enemy ships respawn,
waypoints become solid.
Q: What are some good strategies?
See our section on strategies.
Q: What's next?
Xploids MP (Multiplayer). Playable Demo. Additional
games...
