So these cypher mini games will be appearing semi-frequently then? I feel like even if it is a mobile game it still needs a good amount of user interaction. If you have at least 35-40% of the hacks go to the cypher mini game I can see it being engaging enough for continuous play and still be able to be played in a short time frame. If there is less than that I would assume most people would rather watch youtube videos or read reddit instead of watch a load screen for the same amount of time.
New UI is looking much better though, however I think only 1 of the icons shown actually makes sense. Training seems fine, it's obvious enough that it is a ribbon for completion, but the others seem misplaced. Attributes looking like a medal would make me believe I get a new attribute as medals are generally unique, rather than improving something I already posses. Modifications being an insect seems rather negative, using a parasite to make things better does not make much sense to me.
I like the faster paced music for the hacking as well, was needed to separate it from the rest of the game.
It will depend on upgrades as to the frequency of encrypted files, if you upgrade in one path, you might get more encrypted files, but I would like to have more than one mini game but i expect the mingame frequency to be around 33% so it would occur on average 1 in every 3 hacks, likewise the upgrades/job difficulty will depend on the upgrade path.
And remember it's a mobile game designed for iPhone, Android & Windows phone as the experience would not be a compelling in a desktop environment
Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.
With the icons, I agree, Attributes needs a better icon, the idea behind that one was like a war medal, Items will be a brain (i have to make a small brain icon, the word will also be Brains) and with modifications, the logic is that you are a hacker, using virus' malicious tools and such to obtain data from other computers, so they are bad for users, but good for hackers XD does that make sense, and do you have any ideas for icons, i'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thank's the only thing with the music is that it needs to fadeout when it changes.
