I hate the controls, sometimes when i try to kick a bug, i jump instead. When picking up and acorn i kick it. I have been playing for 40 minutes on level one. I need to stop for a bit but there is no save button!!!! This really bothers me. I am waiting for an update with better controls and a save button, then i will be satisfied with this game Ok, so i am on level one right now trying to find the 4th mouse trap so i can go through one of the gates.

This button basically reset the virtucal on the fly. Quite cool once you realizewhat it is there for. Anyonecfigure out the berry squish thing on level 2? use the neutral button to stop on a dime, if you hold and tilt you can do a full 360 degree turn.

It takes you to the developers website where they have posted a strategy guide complete with common questions, maps, and tips. The control is a bit difficult. Definitely turn down the sensitivity all the way. I am curious to see another control scheme like a vitual analog stick ( see jirbo break). The jirbo break control is only side to side so granted a 3d game would be a bit more complicated but I love it in jirbo break and it automatically pauses if you slip off the control area. I think it could work. If you are having trouble clearing a certain stage go to the help menu.

However, I have just removed this from my Touch. The controls are far too infuriating. In the toy room level I was often pushing toy blocks instead of what I actually wanted to do which was jump on the thing! Then I spent 30 minutes playing that level, only to get stuck trying to find a jigsaw piece at the end. But you can't save mid-level to carry on after a rest, so I thought 'sod it' and took it off. I can't remember a game that has p***ed me off as much as this one! Got over the ball problem- just jump on it. However, I have just removed this from my Touch. The controls are far too infuriating.

I have posted a thread in the forum about it. I am assuming you use the ball- but how do you roll the ball? The game is still frustrating to play for me- sometimes he'll walk nice and slowly like I want him to, and other times he'll run around like a headless chicken, leaving you running around in circles trying to pick up an object until you resort to pressing the button to stand still. Almost tempted to remove this app until an update improves control! So glad it was cheap. I too am having trouble trying to find out how to squash the berries.

You will then free the mouse. Try and find all of them for bonus points (you'll see a tally on the left side of the screen).

(my decision to wait for a line rider price drop seems even more justifiable now lol) haven't gotten past the first level either. don't know what to do with the mouse traps!

Completely fully featured, beautiful game. It absolutely needs an auto save during game play no matter where you are though. I have ended up doing the first level three times now. 2.99 is a steal for this game. Completely fully featured, beautiful game.
