Version 2.3 is now available with various small fixes and an extended demo version.
The fixes include:
- After viewing the website and then exiting the browser, the game reloads instead of going back to the game info page
- Intermittent freezing after talking to Gunnar should be fixed
- The default scaling mode is now "Integer" which the OUYA people requested to keep the game within the title safe zone. You can change it in "Options" from the main menu.
- All of the language translations are now up to date - a few new strings were untranslated in 2.2.
- EDIT: Another fix was it won't seemingly charge you twice (it never really did charge you but it looked like it)
- Possibly a few other minor ones
The demo now allows you to play an extra "dungeon" where you were cut off before. This should give you a better idea about the game.
Begin unrelated stuff: The game went back down into Sandbox. Does anyone know if that's normal when updating a game?
Thanks!

I talked to someone at OUYA and he said it might just be that the servers aren't updated yet? I don't know yet. But if updating a game can drop it into Sandbox, I would be very wary and unlikely to do updates.Originally Posted by watson387
Strange #2 in sandbox nowstill over 60 likes is awesome
Ok, so I'm not the only one seeing it there. Someone from OUYA said it might be a regional problem, but we're in different countries you and I.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say going back down into sandbox probably didn't have anything to do with your update and probably had something to do with their servers. From what I read, the sandbox is based on a dynamic ranking system, so it's not unlikely that your ranking could fall slightly, which put you back into the sandbox. It's based not only on downloads and thumbs up, but also the % of people who buy it and how long each person actually plays it. I'm sure it'll pop back out soon and stay out of there.
I doubt that, it was one of the top games in Escape Artists so it wouldn't drop enough to fall past 20 games that were behind it.
I'm really not impressed with OUYA right now. On my first day with decent placement, I'm back where I started, and even if they fix it tomorrow (they stopped emailing me today), that's 1 day, the most important day, I missed out on.
I would definitely guess its a problem on the Ouya server side, but my guess would be the jump out of the sandbox was the error rather than the jump back in. I know that's a crappy thing to hear (and probably worse for me to say) but you would have to have some very, very impressive O-rank metrics to be beating Filepwn and Freedom Fall right now(#2 and #3 in the escapees). They are ranked 67 and 68 overall at the moment. I'm not trying to take a shot at you but that would be where my money is at.
Honestly though, for the moment, leading the sandbox is good visibility for your app and you already have my money.
still once a app gets out of sandbox, its kind of a let down to see it fall back in
I agree. Its a crushing blow. Nostalgia just made it out of the sandbox last week and it would have hurt to see it fall back in, but my sales definitely benefited from being at the top of that section so its not all bad news.
