Amazing Alex This game is not recognized by Game Center issue

As you know Rovio published new game. It is called Amazing Alex. It's a puzzle game. The goal is to get object A and put at the place B. You have different items at your disposal.  The reason I am writing this article is the Error message that prevents people playing the game. When you install the game you get the nagging popup saying "The game is not recognized by Game Center." I am sure that Rovio is working on the fix to this but if you are looking on a quick workaround you are at the right place. View the solution by clicking Read more below...


UPDATE: This bug was fixed. Be sure to update your game and everything should be fine!
Here is the old solution to the problem that doesn't exist anymore :)
If you are among the people affected by the Game Center issue you should reboot your iPhone after the installation. Killing the game from the task switcher also helps most of the times.  I have noticed some areas from the game trigger the popup every time. My levels is such place so I think I will avoid it for now.

Since you are already here look around my blog. You will find some fun tutorials for beginners who want to learn develop apps for Symbian and N8 using QT. I am preparing some new tutorials so stay tuned.

Amazing Alex pre - Review


All in all this it is a fun little game. It cost only $0.99 and knowing Rovio there will be lots of additional levels in the future upgrades. Rovio will probably fix this issue in a day or two, so just be patient. The game play itself is interesting. You have lot of different items at your disposal. There are few types of balls like football, tennis, billiards, bowling balls. There are also balloons, scissors, books, bookshelves, springs, boxing gloves, ropes, buckets, baskets and tons of other cool items.  Every level has a different goal. Some of the goals are:
- pop all the balloons
- have to save all the balloons
- get the books/balls inside the basket
- knock down boxes and other stuff
Also during the game you can collect the stars. There are 3 stars on every level. They are optional, but since there are no scores inside the game you will want to collect all the stars :) Also it is a challenge. The game play relies deeply on physics. At the begging the puzzles are easy and straight forward, and after playing a while they become harder. The game also comes with it's very own level editor. You can create new levels and share them with your friend or the world.
The only complaint besides the bug is that there is no lovable character here. The birds and pigs in Angry birds look funny and they produce funny noises. In cut the rope there is OmNom with lovable face gestures. You don't even see the Alex in this game so it is kind of hard to connect to him. after playing a while you completely forget that Alex even exists.
All in all I think the game is fun and entertaining. 99 cents well spent :)

This is just a small number of items you can use in the game
