Spacerocked Glitch

Fri Apr 11, 2008 12:10 pm

Warning to those playing the new game Spacerocked:
If you complete all 3 levels of the game, you can score above 10000 points, which should give you 1000 NP (given the ratio and the 1000 NP game limit). However, I just received 1181 NP for my score. TNT has frozen users in the past for taking advantage of a glitch in a game, so I won't be sending in scores over 10000 points again until they respond to my bug report. I usually don't pay attention to the numbers on the score submission page -- I just glance to see that the color and shape are right and play again or close the window. It'd be easy for someone to overlook the glitch, so I thought I'd warn PPTers to be careful sending scores in the new game -- it'd be awful to lose your account over a few extra NP you accidentally got from a glitched game.

Because, of course, there aren't enough glitches as it is.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not good enough yet to get past the second level, so this isn't a threat for me personally, but you others - pay attention.

EDIT:
Apparently this glitch is all smoke and no fire. I scored a 10020, and was supposed to receive 1002 NP according to the glitch - however, I got only 1k.

I'm guessing there's some sort of little safety mechanism in the score-sending code that prevents you from getting more than 1k except for the featured game. Good to know.

I see what you mean, shapu. I just played again, and it said I received 1256NP, but my NP are only actually 1000NP more than they were before I played. I was doing my dailies during my other attempt, so I couldn't tell how much my NP actually increased during the game.

Well, if TNT takes 181 NP from me, whatever -- it was worth it to be extra-precautious. At least I know I can safely get 1k/day from the game!
