To avoid possible misunderstanings and anxiety among our players, we would like to announce that PlayStation®Network service will be briefly discontinued for the maintenance reasons soon.

First maintenance will start 2013-05-14  at 02:00 and end 2013-05-14 at 04:00, affecting all regions, with about 10 minutes of downtime in the process.

Second maintenance will be underway next week, starting 2013-05-20 at 02:00 and ending 2013-05-20 at 07:00. It will also affect all regions, and expected downtime is 120 minutes.

We would like to join Sony in their apologies for the inconvinience this may cause. Thank you for playing.

Rejoice, Treasures of Montezume Blitz player around the world!

Our latest update, 1.80, is now available in Playstation Network Store both in Europe and Americas. It’s been a long time up to this point, and long since we released the last update, but we sure hope it was worth the wait.

As usual, we’ll be glad to hear and take into consideration any feedback that might follow.

And, taking the opporutnity to say it, it’s a pleasure to make games for such devoted players as you. Thank you for your support, it really kept us going.

Enjoy!

Good news everyone,

We are happy to announce that Treasures of Montezuma update 1.80 has passed the quality assurance testing at Sony and is scheduled for release in the next PSN Store update, i.e. next week, both in Europe and America.

Hope you’ll have fun playing it. Stay tuned for further news!

This night the Treasures of Motezuma Blitz server was undergoing an emergency maintenance and, therefore, may have been partially unavailable.

We apologize for the inconvinience caused.

Right now the game server is back online for all users and fully functional. Please restart the game to get your tournament rewards and daily minigames.

Good news everyone! We have been waiting for a while to share with you the list of features for the upcoming update, and now it is ready. Hopefully, everbody will find a good share of things to like about it. Enjoy and keep coming back to the blog for news!

Main update features:

• Scratchcard will now wield higher winnings more often and, in addition to that, show what was hidden below the other squares which remained unscratched!
• Easier process of levelling up for new players with a little bit more crystals for smoother ride up.
• The flow of time will become more forgiving, with time bonuses being added instantly, and game being paused when no moves remain and the board shuffles.
• From now on, you can switch the gravity off when you don’t want it to meddle with your game while commuting, and switch it back on when you need it.
• Totems now work much faster - the next one activates right after you use the previous one.
• New Ziggurat notifications are now removed from LiveArea, keeping it clean for posting new personal score records.
• Never stop the combo: if the timer runs out, you will be allowed to finish the current combo before counting up the game results.
• Stack up crystals to get the multiplier twice as high as it was before.
• More strategic options thanks to updated features of Crystal Score, Color Discard and Score Frenzy bonuses and Yellow Totem.

Lesser update features:

• Game texts will be updated to reflect all the game concepts, both new and old, better, including ‘near’ sharing details, new bonus functions and a few fixes to translations.
• Expert Treasurers will now see if their hoards exceed 10 million crystals.
• Levelling up with bonus XP boost bug is now fixed, giving the full advantage of double XP.
• Round time is now shown as it should, with maximum available time cap taken into consideration.

Treasures of Montezuma Blitz team wishes all of our players the best of luck in this New Year. Hope it is treating you really well so far, and will continue this way.

We, on our part, will try to make it the best for you - and a new update, where most of your wishes you left for us here were taken into consideration, is already underway.

The exact date yet remains to be known, but it’s not far now - stay tuned!

And, once again - best wishes of the season to you!

The exploit, used for recent cheat endeavours, was located and closed on the server side of the game. No more cheaters coming from this direction.

Please let us know if you experienced any inconviniences related to the server update, and happy playing!

Thanks for all the feedback regarding all the other possible exploits, we’ll investigate it and close the most troublesome and the most disrupting ones.

Yesterday we came across an unfortunate incident, with user IDs

apparently belonging to the same person, achieved incredubly high scores through cheating, using a possible exploit that is now being fixed. Those user ID were banned. Please, play fair, and if you find any possible wormholes, let us know instead of cheating. Thank you!

Thank you for all the valuable feedback you provided. We’ll now close the survey and start processing it. Most interesting, valuable, and demanded features are most likely to make it to the update.

Once again, thank you for all the support, and for playing the game, making it better.

As most of our players who read this blog are well aware, we’re currently in the middle of preparing the next update for the game. Over the last months, thanks to you, we have accumulated a large feedback of features and fixes, but we’re still greedy for more - we aspire to make the game near-perfect this time, so it could be enjoyed in the best way possible, by as many people as possible.

And thus, the days of  active player feedback collection are declared on this blog. Please feel free to leave your comments on the game, however impossible they may sound. Both new features or fixes of old ones are welcome. Don’t be afraid to repeat what you posted previously - you’ll let us know that the request is still wanted.

Please post your ideas as the first-level comments, and use level two to back up somebody else’s idea.

Thank you for your support, it’s a pleasure doing games for you - and with you.
