Dang, can’t find a single one, after an hour. I’m starting to wonder if my version is old, or something :[

So, you have time to put a contest together but answering emails and support request… guess those are pretty low on your priority list. I understand, you have my money already, why waste your time.

Hello,
will there be a version of Star Walk for windows mobile? Astro Navigator II is not quite compareable to Star Walk as the graphics and the possibilities are are not nearly as good as in Star Walk.
If there are plans to port Star Walk, when can it be expected too arrive?

Thank you for your comment, Fasti!
We haven’t decided yet whether we’re going to make the updated version of AstroNavigator II that will be of the same UI and functionality as Star Walk.
If we finally decide to do that we’ll let you know!

I bet someone has done it by now.

Well, I gave up, as the hints were too nebulous — it was hard to know where to even begin, or what to do once you found something. The number of places to look in Star Walk is, well… astronomical.
By the way, if the hint “It gets up when it’s dark” was meant to refer to the Moon, as some think — well that’s just wrong, even if that’s the solution. The Moon gets up in the morning just as often as it gets up when it’s dark. So, I thought maybe it had something to do with the Sun, but there seems to be nothing about the Sun that’s secret or strange. Maybe it’s something else…
Oh, and the “piece of fruit” was the first thing I found, without any clues even, but it was like… ok… now what?
Sorry, I don’t mean to complain, but it seems more random than about solving a puzzle, or knowledge of the Universe.

First hint says where the most number of Easter eggs are. So you were to choose the moon and look for eggs there. Don’t forget about time machine feature in Star Walk.

Well, I imagine others found them all. It was easy to find them, but… the Moon doesn’t get up when it’s dark. The New Moon rises with the Sun, first thing in the morning! It then “gets up” 50 minutes later each day, until it eventually rises at sunset (halfway through a cycle). Then 2 weeks later it “gets up” with the Sun again!
So, it gets up when it is light just as often as when it’s dark…
Anyways, I still love Star Walk. Congrats to the winners.

Thanks, jimbo for explaining that:)
We took this riddle ‘It gets up when it’s dark’ because it’s a wellknown one. So people could guess where the eggs are.
I hope you’re not disappointed using Star Walk. Besides we’re about to release a new version of Star Walk with more features;)
