    Lol, there's gotta be a science to this game that I'm missing. I can't even hit 1000 meters and am averaging around 50 bananas per run. Someone needs to post a video of one of their runs so I can study them.

    The developer had a serious oversight when it comes to the tutorial, as he neglected to inform the player that you can swipe down when jumping in the treetops and on flowers to jump much, much higher, thus getting loads of bananas, especially in the treetops.

    Many players writing with woes of bad scores in this thread didn't know about it until reading it here.

    I have a bad run when I have less than 300 bananas now, I was in your shoes initially until I read about the swipe down move.

    Yeah, you're not the only one.
    The developer really ought to get the info into the game. I think a lot of people give up on the game fairly quickly when they can't seem to get anywhere and only get maybe 50 bananas in a run at most...

    Wow I didn't know that either! That should help a lot. I was still able to go ~8000m without that though so it is doable

    8000 Meters!
    Wauv...

    I'm just shy of 4000 Meters, I find the controls system inadequate when the game speed up... Most of my distance is covered via the treetops, up there it's almost too easy.

    Yeah treetops is the key it's very easy and now I'm up to 9000 so far with the high jump technique

    Made it to 12000 now! Up to 24th as of now. Thanks for sharing the jumping hint that really plays a big role
     
  10. Yeah I'm in the same boat... the trick is to get in the treetops for most of the end-game haha.

    Also, thanks everyone for posting about the swipe-down thing, I did not know about that... btw when I started I didn't even know how to get into the tree-top lol.

    Like someone already said, most of the achievements don't unlock correctly, for example:

    Use Power-Dash 200 times - I used it 362 times -> achievement is not unlocked
    Collect 200 Rainbowbananas - I've collected 214 -> not unlocked
    Buy 5 items in the shop - I bought way more then 5 items.
    Run into 50 bats - 61, not unlocked
    Run into 100 barrel - 510, not unlocked
    Run into 100 spiderwebs - 100, not unlocked
    Fly 50 times with the tukan - 70 times, not unlocked
    Jump on 250 flowers - 891, not unlocked

    My best is 2546. :( I'm feeling less than good at this lol. I can't stay in the tops for long early on, and it's harder for me to get up there once I've put on some speed. :( I'm working on it though.

    2546 is actually really good! The others are monsters! :)
    But they also take advantage of the swipe-down-to-jump-high method in treetops ^_^

    Watched TangentsLP video and I have to say that a swipe down tutorial is needed specially in treetops or when flowers are below... that increases your chances a lot, specially on collecting bananas. And one thing I learned is to hit those large boxes full of bananas :D

    Earlier today I have purchased the lvl 4 upgrade for the toucan and now the game starts with the tutorial and all progress is lost. That was it for me with this game...

    Working on a strategy...

    I go underground first, boar through and then come back up. I'm going fast enough by 1500 meters to hit those tree tops a little more reliably.

    Here's my new score!!

    Hm.. I was intrigued by the game when it was announced but ended up deciding not to buy it, but I wanted to congratulate the developer on making it to the coveted #1 spot on Top Paid Apps for the US! :D That's just awesome :cool:
