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...
