Oh, any one miss this?

The devs have already spoiled the new Teensie. He seems to be sporting an aviator outfit. Looks pretty spiffy!
All that leaves us is Globox's new look.

That Teensie costume looks really good!

Just played it.
Yup... this game is canon. Sure, it's an app, but it has enough ideas, story material and personality to not be considered a quick spin-off unlike Jungle/Fiesta Run. Well, at least in my opinion.

Also, we should start creating some articles for the Wiki... Anyone know the name of the pirate dude?

He is cleverly named... The Captain.

There's an achievement called "Gotta Hatch 'em All". Never thought I'd see the day of a Pokémon reference in a Rayman game.

That only makes me more mad that I can't play it!

To be fair, the Rayman franchise has never been the most clever with it's naming. Like, Mr.Skops is the most original name of the 6 bosses you face in the first Rayman

Oh God, one of the Incrediballs is named Selfi. :mefiant: Rayman, I know what you're trying to do and I appreciate it, but please stop.

Do we really need to have every time discussion about whats canon and non-canon?

Spiral already gave good solution regarding that. As for Adventures, it was featured on Rayman timeline that Ubisoft recently released but so were the other mobile games.

There's a whole family of creatures that are pink and girly named off of stereotypical valley girl names. I think it's hilarious.

Hello guys!
Sorry for my long absence... As you can probably guess, this has been a busy week.
According to Adventures, I am from France. Bonjour~
Oh! Chouette ! Je vais pouvoir te parler en français alors !
Seriously, this should be fixed tomorrow.
Also, %d is being printed instead of a number when I'm trying to access areas that haven't been unlocked, as seen below.
I didn't know about that, will report tomorrow.
Btw, does anyone know what buried treasures are? There's an achievement for that and I've completed the game and haven't found a single "buried treasure".
This one shouldn't have been implemented. It will be removed or replaced in an update.
Even though its optional though the micro transactions are optimal, there is a clear, almost pay 2 win advantage to using the creatures.
You can't buy food with gems, so it's not pay2win: ask your friends for food or watch a video!
Seems like it will get regular updates which is always nice
Yes! Next one is soon... Very soon :)
To be fair though this is all cosmetic bullshit, I still think £134 is WAY WAY too much and that price will only go up from here on out., but its not the end of the eorld, its not Dungeon keeper mobile, not yet.
You get a lot of gems without paying. Caneofpacci could tell you he managed to save more than 10000 of gems during the beta :)
Also, OCG, virtual joysticks suck. No game that had them are good. They flat out suck and I'm glad Adventures doesn't have that horrible control scheme.
That's exactly why the dev team choose the swipe system. They tried the virtual joysticks and thought it was a horrible experience.
You know I was playing the game fine up until I reached and finished two levels in Adventure 3 and now I can't do anything with the egg that's on the map or anything. I'm wondering if this file has anything to do with it.
I'm sorry about this. This issue is affecting around 5% of our users, and we have no idea why. It seems like the team found something though, I hope they will come up with a fix pretty soon!
No one wants to be friends with on Adventures. Still think this was a good idea, Devs?
Watch videos! Be my friend! I'll accept :D
I'll make my own then... The Barbara Lover Community... Yeah...
Count me in!
As for the limited sale that includes the skin of Assassin Ray and Barbara, it is until when? I might consider.
The starter pack is a limited 7 days (?) offer, and you can only get the AC costumes there.
Oi, I'm wondering if this game would get a Christmas update like Fiesta Run did and somewhat Jungle Run to an extent
Yes it will! With awesome costumes :D
I'm really enjoying this so far. Best mobile game I've ever played! :mrgreen:
Thank you thank you thank you <3

FYI, there are a lot of server issues today on iOS. We hope it to be fixed in a few hours.
You also might lose today's progress :(

Nice to see you again Ubi-Maya! It's a bummer that the servers are buggy today, but the game still looks like a blast to play! Maybe one day there will be a vita port? I'm behind in the smartphone times

Ah, that's why I can't hatch my golden egg today. Well, I hope the devs can fix this without too much trouble.

I've already solved the friends issue, Mya. I've made like 5 friends. (I only added people who were playing as Barbara/the other Princesses). Another thing was the food, I guess you could only buy food in the Beta because you didn't have the friend option available. I now have to use my creatures more wisely now.

So there is going to be a Christmas Update? Hopefully that means festive levels and costumes (for Barbara) :v

One more thing, y'all won't get a cent outta me! Unless! You guys make more Barbara costumes. Then you'll definitely get more money from me.

P.S Restience to the Barbara Lovers Community is futile. All will love Barbara. It is inevitable.

Nice to have you back! I got stuck in Adventure 2 for a while (after completing Adventure 3 it sent me there and the ship didn't appear), but since then the ship has appeared so I can move on. Give my thanks to Ubisoft for making what has turned out to actually be a good game in a sea of cash-grab titles that are ruining most of my other favourite franchises. I am so glad that this title didn't turn out to be that (yeah, there's microtransactions but they don't seem necessary to enjoy the game, whereas in other titles even with microtransactions, it isn't enjoyable *cough* sonic runners *cough*).

Totally agree. While it is free and I had my doubts it is very well made with clever level design and great remixes of the themes from Legends! And even though the game kind of forces you to replay levels it does it in a good way making it still feel rewarding and making the game last even longer then it would have otherwise!

Myaaa :bad:

Also, it seems that Adventures is the 4th most download app of Apple store at the moment (it's been more downloaded than Facebook recently!)
Could this popularity lead to a new 3D Rayman Game?

Man, I wish this game wasn't more free to play garbage, it seems like everything is some scheme to get me to buy something or other. And if it's not, just like every other free to play game it's a grind.

I've played about 45 levels so far and they all seem handicapped as well, nothing clever like Legends or Origins. They are all way too easy to keep you going in the game so you keep buying more potions or tickets or whatever else. Then they'll do the same old diminishing returns where the levels are near impossible without paying or using the in game currency, just like all games of this ilk. (I used to work at a bad company doing Facebook games like this, I have no patience.)

Then watching ads, come on. I would like to earn all of those costumes but it seems like there's not enough gems to go around, they are all recycled anyway from Legends and preorder bonuses for the most part anyway. You can't recollect gems when replaying levels and I'm guessing there's no huge bonuses to rack up the way Fiesta Run did with lums. Do these developers seriously want me to spend $30-40 of my own money on skins?

Why not just charge up front like Rayman Jungle Run or Fiesta Run? Those games were great (despite the bad free to play update Christmas levels added to Fiesta later). When you have great games like Monument Valley and Lara Croft Go coming out with up front costs and reasonable DLC/skin prices, there's no excuse for Rayman Adventures to take this old school Facebook approach. Speaking of, I did everything in that Rabbids Invasion game on Facebook if I recall and it never wanted this much money.

For the record I spent $5 on the starter pack and it seems to be a rather pointless waste of my money. if they had charged the usual $5 up front and locked the skins behind another $5, I'd be up for that completely. But then they would have had to design levels that were actually good and not easy instant gratification for the delayed gratification stunt all free to play games do later. And since most people don't pay for free to play games and instead it always relies on the "whales" who are people with addictive personalities who can't control themselves and their spending, I never understand how any of this truly makes business sense. I mean it really doesn't because almost all free to play games go out of business quickly unless they have a big hit. I suppose that Ubisoft cash subsidizes this.

I know Ubisoft loves adding microtransactions even to their behemoth Assassin's Creed titles, but I was hoping Rayman would be safe. Maybe it's time to retire Rayman, I don't really like what Ubisoft has become in the last decade. And since Beyond Good and Evil 2 isn't coming out, I'd rather not pay for any more Ubisoft games.

This is the first time I've been disappointed in Michel Ancel as a developer. I excepted more of Ubisoft Montpellier after the amazing Rayman Legends and Valiant Hearts.
