I'm working case 03-01 entitled 'Tilt!' and in one corner (the upper corner near the dancing game or whatever it is where feet are used) I can't search on two of the tiles, which means I'm not going to have a 100% search when I'm done with that location. I checked all the other tiles and I can search those its just the two in the upper portion to the right I guess you could say of the body and to the left of where 'Nick' stands.

I am really enjoying this game and have several friends addicted as well..we think you should be able to gift energy to your friends. Also, I am stuck at the moment..gone as far as I can but the next location is still locked. Sure hope I haven't wasted my time or money.
I noticed that as well when I played that case, but apparently they aren't really searchable tiles because when I clicked all of the rest of them I got my 100% search bonus.Originally posted by jknancy09:

I agree with everything NikkiD72 said 4 replies above mine.
Okay, if they aren't searchable I won't worry about it, but if they aren't suppose to be searchable they shouldn't be 'tiles' they should just be spaces.

Unfortunately, I got to the end of that scene and I'm at 98% and I've searched every other tile in the scene so I CAN'T get my 100% bonus. How you did it I don't know but I don't think its very fair that I searched the ENTIRE scene and except for those TWO tiles that I obviously can't search I won't get my bonus.
I also still don't like that the energy takes three times as long to renew, even if it increases more with each level.

I am going to compound what others have said. The increase to the regeneration time making it threefold was a huge mistake in customer satisfaction. Regardless of giving an additional 20 points on it, that's ridiculous. A 20% bonus to subset a 300% deficit?? Come on guys, work the numbers. Before the update I would have been able to process 16 regular tiles(100 energy points), depleting my full energy, but it would be full again within 50 minutes so I could play again and search another 16 regular tiles. 32 tiles searched in 2 hours.
Now, I can search 19 regular tiles, but it takes 3 hours to refill before I can search another 19 tiles, so that's 38 tiles in 6 hours. It's just not right guys it really isn't. Ways around this? Reduce the time back down to 45 seconds, or put in more xp per tile as a reward to enable faster levelling up (something I am sure you don't want to speed up, as it's not in your best interests to have people level too fast and then be sat with nothing to do) or reduce the amount of energy searching uses up. Which I think would be the best option, as it will allow people to play for longer at a time and make the gap inbetween not so unbearable.

Also, minigame seems a bit of a gip, 3 matches = medium coffee. 4 matches = medium coffee. I would have thought that there would be a slight increase there based on the difficulty of making 4 matches in 10 seconds. I can't imagine how anybody would manage to get more.

The regeneration time in this game is excessive, given the energy costs of the tiles. I literally play for about 3-4 minutes and then have to wait several hours before I can play again. I really like the game, but I am frustrated by how little time I actually get to play it.
I love this game, but I do agree with the others that the energy refill is too slow. My last 3 cases have all been one star because of the time it takes to wait for energy refills to finish searching. Also, I don't know if it's just me but with the mini game, sometimes I have to click a square multiple times before it 'lights up' so I can match. This makes it difficult to get more than a few matches or to get anything more than 4 matches.
I realize the game is still in beta, but that might be something to work on before the full version release.
