1.61
2015-10-15
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
1.61:
- Fixed bug with the new update where Rotation Sensitivity settings didn't work
*Bug fix poem*
No matter what the rate,
You wanted it to go.
The Pivvot ball would rotate,
At just one speed, you know.
1.60:
- Looper mode is now free for everyone! Go do some loops.
- Fixed bug where music would no longer play on some devices
- Removed Kamcord recording because they're shutting down
- I launched a new game called Piloteer. It's a crazy jetpack simulator! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/piloteer/id932248553?mt=8
Update Poem:
In Pivvot's older version,
Some people had no tunes.
I fixed it in this update, but,
I blame that darn blood moon.

I. Am. So. Sorry.
I know there was a terrible crashing bug in 1.55 and I've been stressing out trying to figure out what was causing it. I *think* I've solved it. I ended up being able to reproduce a crash on one of my iPads and I fixed it. So hopefully that was the only crash. If you update to this version and are *still* getting a crash, please reach out to me at
[email protected] or on twitter at @wtrebella with info!
Sorry again!!
A poem:
Holy cow I feel so bad.
What has gotten into me?
Promise I will try my best,
For I have not forsaken thee
Special bonus guest poem by user Diflachebeh who was kind enough to leave Pivvot a five-star review even though he/she was getting the one-star-deserving crash bug:
"It's mad fun but as soon as you open the app. It crashes. But not to worry as they will fix it as always and give us a poem. Probably something like.
The game is fun.
Even with bugs.
Now it should run.
Now I give you hugs."
Diflachebeh, I applaud you for such a glorious poem and generous review.

Fixed: Bug where turning device upside down would result in many on-screen buttons not working
Fixed: Bug where sometimes it would get stuck in a weird portrait orientation
Poem:
Turn it upside down.
Turn it on its side.
Doesn't matter now!
So take it for a ride.

• OpenKit is closing down in September, so I took it out. Now Pivvot is just pure GameCenter all the way!
• Your old scores should remain in GameCenter just fine as long as you logged in with GameCenter through OpenKit before.
Poem:
This update's kinda boring.
I know it's not too cool.
But it was necessary.
I swear I'm not a fool.

LOOPER IMPROVEMENTS
• Looper is way more skill-based and less unpredictable (and hopefully more fun).
• The "cogs" always aim towards the middle now, and there aren't any TOTALLY RANDOM DEATH COGS that come out of nowhere.
• There is a better wave-based points system included now: every five completed loops, another "cog" will be added (as before), but now your per-loop score is now dependent on which wave you're on.
• Now there is a little arpeggiated chord sound effect when you complete a wave.
• There is now a little floating score label thing that pops up whenever you complete a loop, indicating how much you just earned. Spiffy!
BUG FIXES
• Fixed bug where some people were unable to buy Looper.
• Fixed bug where touching the right side of the screen caused the player to jitter counterclockwise for a second before going clockwise.
• Fixed bug where holding the right side of the screen and then tapping the left side would get you stuck in a counterclockwise rotation.
• The title page should now return to the correct game mode when you leave and come back.
LOOPER LIMERICK
I once made a game mode called Looper.
While fun, it contained some bad bloopers.
But it has been changed,
Some things rearranged,
And now it is quite super duper.

BUG FIXES
• Fixed issue of scores not submitting to Game Center
• Fixed issue of the Daily Challenge acting fickle with when it allowed you to play it
• I also just became aware of the iOS 7.1 crashing issue and I will be submitting a new update very soon to fix that!
BUG POEM
Sorry for the issues
I know they made you cry
But throw away those tissues
And to the bugs, say "Bye!"

UPDATE POEM ABOUT PIVVOT ICON:
Christmas-time is over
So red and green looks weird
Because of that I've changed it back
To how it once appeared

A BAD BAD BUG:
This update is a hotfix for the terrible bug that prevented your high score from going up in endless and berserk modes. Plus, you weren't able to unlock new modes because of it!
A BUGFIX POEM:
This bug has caused some problems.
This bug has brought me stress.
This bug was crazy horrible.
I'm sure you're not impressed.
_____________________________________________
1.30:
FEATURES/CHANGES:
• Christmas icon!
• Huge performance boosts for the new iPad Mini Retina and iPad Air
• Put Kamcord back in for replays. I think its performance is better and it makes sharing easier.
• Brought iPad Berserk mode back to its original (slightly easier) zoom level
BUG FIXES:
• You can now listen to iPod music while playing Pivvot. Glad you appreciate all the time I put into the soundtrack! ;)
• Game no longer crashes when you reach 1,000 seconds in Berserk mode (Yeah I know it's insane. Someone actually got to 1,000 in Berserk mode. I can't fathom it.)
• Preventing a leaderboard crash on iOS 5.
A HOLIDAY POEM:
Pivvot is Santa's favorite game.
He plays it all the time.
Berserk Mode is his claim to fame.
His skills are just sublime.

ADDITIONS/CHANGES
• Added numbers to the sensitivity and volume sliders in Settings. Now you'll be able to know exactly what your favorite Sensitivity number is.
• Made Berserk a bit more zoomed out on the iPhone and a bit more zoomed in on the iPad. Hopefully this will make inter-device leaderboards a bit more fair.
BUG FIXES
• Fixed bug in Voyage modes that would maintain your death count even after you beat the mode (now it goes back to 0 when you do)
• Fixed some issues with OpenKit, Facebook, and GameCenter logins
• OpenKit login shouldn't pop up every time if you don't login
• Fixed some performance issues (if you still see problems, make sure you turn off Replays in Settings)
• Made the Everyplay button in Settings show Pivvot replays instead of ALL game replays
• Fixed the "More Games" and "Buy Soundtrack" links to hopefully not get as many iTunes errors
• I think I've fixed most of the crashes but you may still see some crashing on iOS 5.1. I've pinpointed the problem but it's going to take me a bit of time to solve. Until then, try booting up the app in airplane mode.
A POEM
Bugs bugs, everywhere.
What have I become?
My game was full of awful code.
At least I've fixed it some.

Pivvot 1.11 Update:
BUGS
• Hotfix update to turn off glossiness on icon that I accidentally enabled in the last update
• I'm so so very sorry about the crashes and performance issues. I'm working very hard to figure out why it's happening. Until then, try turning on Airplane mode before you open Pivvot and it should work!

I want to give you all bear hugs
