PSP Minis

   I found an annoying bug in the 'Tetroid' game from Grip Games' 5-In-1 Arcade Hits.

   I'm playing single player 'Tetroid' on the PSPgo and suddenly the ball gets stuck underneath four rows of bricks I was hoping to demolish by squeezing the ball in between the lowest row and bottom screen. Then the game just froze. I tried to turn the game off after a while (2 minutes), but it won't shut down. There's just a black screen with a buzzing sound whilst the background music from the game keeps playing. This has been going on for 30 minutes already. On a PSPgo it's not really possible to remove the battery in an easy way I suspect so now I'm looking at a PSPgo that is making annoying noises and can't be used until the battery runs dry.

   It's such a severe bug that I don't feel inclined to play the game again, at least not until this major bug has been fixed.

   I've played Tetroid and the only thing I noticed was the fact that I'm crap at it.
   Are you sure it's the game that is faulty, as almost all games freeze now and again.
   Did it happen more than once... if not then it's not a bug. ;)

   Haha yeah, that's what the procrastinator will have you know. :D

   Nah I know, sometimes it's just not possible to do anything about a bug if it cannot be re-produced. (I have experience working with smartphone and mobile game/application developers for some years).

   And in this case I cannot re-produce the bug (I tried on a PSP3000). But I'm still hoping GripGames will take heed. It seems there's a too big gap on some of the levels (unless it's on purpose, of course) between the lowest row and the bottom table (edge of screen).

   Hey guys,

   we have been whipping our testers and boiling them in a hot oil the whole day in order to motivate them to reproduce the bug, but so far we got nothing :-)
   Nevertheless, we will keep looking. Thanks for the report and sorry for the inconvenience. If we are able to fix this, we will announce the update.
   Unfortunately, minis games cannot be patched and a new version needs to be introduced and go through the QA, so it takes about two weeks.

   Hello and thanks for replying, Jakub. I have now played the game excessively on all our PSPs (PSPgo, 2000 + 3000) and the game keeps running flawlessly on all devices. I'm now convinced it's the PSPgo that caused the game to freeze.

   Sorry for any inconvenience this topic may have caused. Unfortunately I can't delete it although I think it would be the proper thing to do out of respect for Grip Games and their great '5 in 1 Arcade Hits' title (on of my favourite games).
