    After many hours, I finally encountered three wooden ramps and passed the level 19 challenge. Accomplishing the two triple backflips in one run was a piece of cake after that!

    I felt the same as youÂ… until I got the challenge of hitting 3 llamas while flying. It's a nightmare!

    Anyone know what "Kiss the rail (grind last 4m)" means? I can't figure it out.

    Grind and don't jump, just let the player grind until the flag rope finishes. That one's easy to achieve ;)

    Hmm, I just tried that on several flag ropes and nothing happened. And I'm sure it was for over 4 meters.

    You're supposed to grind only the last 4 meters of a rope/roof. Or even less than that..

    I think my wing suit is bugged too.
    I did activate it some times but since then I've never been able to, no matter how long the scarf is.

    Weird thing....sometimes I see a BLACK icon on the left...notably when an elder is chasing me.

    What is it?

    Ahhhhh thanks!
    Looks like a shield with a downright arrow.

    LOL I even died several times trying to press it.

    I thought it was another version of the wing suit or something...since the wing suit white button doesn't appear anymore to me.

    Am I right you have to do tricks to activate the wing suit?

    no worries :)


    And yes you have to do tricks, although I can't work out what actually activates it, it seems a mixture of single tricks like a backflip and chains of trick are required.

    Hi guys, apologies for the delayed reply - it was my birthday at the weekend so took some much needed time away from the project to help clear my head.

    Firstly to address some known issues that are cropping up:

    1) Bugs related to sounds being disabled:

    As I mentioned before, disabling sounds (not music) from the in-game menu is causing a bunch of issues relating to trick scoring, goals unlocking (especially ones that require or end with a backflip), tutorial steps not completing and some cases where the player gets stuck on the snow or in a dip (you can tap to rotate, but the player never 'lands' and continues boarding).

    We'll be implementing a fix in the next update. In the meantime we recommend you play with the sounds on.

    If you experience any of the above bugs while sounds are enabled, please get in touch, as this means the issue might be more complex that it appears.

    2) The wingsuit bug:

    Several players are reporting issues with the wingsuit not enabling, despite being purchased and fully 'charged' by landing combos. In many cases this appears to be related to iCloud syncing (i.e. works on device the wingsuit was purchased, but not the synced device). I'm looking into finding a fix asap, but if you have any further information that could help, please get in touch.

    EDIT: I've now identified the bug - this should be fixed for the next update. Sorry about that folks!

    3) Backflip over a sleeping elder

    The detection logic for this goal appears to be a little flakey, sometimes working, sometimes not. We've had reports of people fixing the issue by switching characters, with the suggestion that it's only Maya who exhibits the bug. Again, any further information that could help, let us know.

    EDIT: This has also been identified/fixed, so be working much more reliably in the next update. In the meantime, approaching this goal with less speed will increase the chance of it registering.

    4) Stuck on the title screen

    There have been a few reports of players being unable to start the game, due to the UI not appearing with the "tap to start" message / button. This is perhaps one of the more worrying bugs, as no amount of resetting / reinstalling seems to fix it. Any details about this bug you might be able to share will prove vital in helping determine it's cause and implementing a fix.

    5) Goal difficulty

    We're also seeing a common theme among the goals that people are struggling to complete, due to the 'ideal conditions' not appearing frequently enough in a single run. These are mostly related to:

    - Triple backflips
    - Jumping off a wooden ramp onto a grind

    I have some very clear ideas about how we can address the balance of these goals in future updates, making them more fun for everyone - I hope it doesn't prove too frustrating for you in the meantime.

    All bug reports can be sent to [email protected], but apologies in advance if you don't receive a reply right away - we're a very small team and are completely inundated with requests, feedback and other correspondence at the moment.

    All the best and happy llama-catching!
    Harry

    Hi,

    Was just wondering if achievements are bugged or am I doing something wrong. I am lvl 10 now, but have 0 achievements. Even the one Rookie (beat 10 goals) which I am way over 10 goals by now is not registered.

    Any help, suggestions ?

    Thanks

    Do you have sounds disabled in the menu? If so it's a known bug with a fix coming soon. Enabling sounds in the meantime should prevent stuff like this happing.

    On the other hand, if sounds are enabled, I might need to ask a few further questions, if you'd be happy to help :)

    Now that you mention it, my wing suit stopped working as soon as I switched devices (but everything else is synced, money and all).

    Amazing game guys, congrats, I hope you will make a ton of money out of this.

    So I've unlocked Maya, Rookie achievement still locked. Is this supposed to work like this?

    I can cofirm this, just tried.

    Wing suit works perfect on iPad (where I've unlocked it) and doesn't work on iPhone (synced for everything else, the wing suit is displayed as unlocked).
