    @tinchka Wow, I played 5 hours less than you but I have more than twice your coins. Also, your joker baron 4's timing of 144 minutes LOL!

    Bike Baron don´t start

    Bike Baron don´t start on my iPod 3rd gen.

    This is the second time, that BB don´t start. I see the start-picture and then he go back to the home-picture.

    The first time he don´t start I deleted BB, installed BB and started new.

    Now I don´t will loose my savegame.

    What is the solution?

    Fix for this bug is in the next update that will hopefully get approved within few days. In the meantime you can fixit by tapping on one of our level links on our site (thebikebaron.com) while in Safari on your device.

    3. yes, we will build whole new system for the track sharing and exploring, but this will take some time.

    This game is fantastic! I'm ranked about 94 now after just having completed Dragon teeth in 2 mins 8 seconds. Tried again and was prepped for beating the 1:30 time but made a stupid mistake and haven't been able to get past the teeth part the first time again this far.

    I'm having some extreme difficulty with two things though: joker cat3 takes like 15 tries to get across the bomb bridge and then I can never get past the second pyramid(at the end) because I get stuck between the first and second and then my head hits the first one.

    Also in care full of bears, how do you get the first coin?

    Thanks for a great game, looking forward to the next update!

    Staeit:
    The Joker Cat 3 will be adjusted in the upcoming patch (this week?). I suggest you skip it until then! :) As for "Care-full of Bears" the first coin is obtainable by leaning backwards while driving, the backwheel will kick you up just enough to snatch the coin with the front tire. Landing through the hole after that is a challenge but it usually "just happens right"

    Fleurs36:
    To get the second coin: After the checkpoint 1 there's this small jump to the larger hill. Don't jump the small one but just drive over it nice and slow, then drive backwards as much as possible (until the rear tire touches the highpart of the small jump). Start your acceleration from there. It might take a few tries but that's the sure way to get it

    Spidey:
    1. Do you mean the part with the small curvy teeth and with the hill up to the finish? I'll test around to see if its too difficult without it. I kinda prefer having the extreme levels really crazy but I'll see how it is :)

    4. We're definitely exploring the concept/idea of level contest. We had art contest for Minigore and it was a great success :cool:

    It's already possible to finish Joker Cat 3 without the level being adjusted in the upcoming patch, but it may be close to impossible to get 3 stars (<30 seconds) before then, at least on iPhone or Ipod touch.

    This may help if you want to pick get a star before the level is changed:
    Joker Cat 3 finished without crashing (zero restarts), ~87 seconds:

    That is it, i think i have achieved my potential with this game. All 3 stars except for Dragon teeth which i have only finished once in 26 minutes...
    An Joker Cat 3 doesnt like me, i have been pressing both directions down with all my might to get over the pyramids but it never seems to work...
    Could anyone explain the trick better?

    Ranked 195 tho, im quite happy with my performance :)

    My best on Joker Cat III at the moment is 47 seconds, don't think i could possibly beat that without the level being adjusted.

    This is my goto game when I get frustrated in BF3, it's easily the best type of these games I have played, reminds me of 1000 heroes, as it scratches that same itch. Thanks for the awesome game, I am almost done with the medium levels, and it's testing my skill already, don't think I will ever be as good as most people but it sure is fun trying.

    Hey, great game, but recently I downloaded a level using a link on the BB blog in Safari on my iPad, and once it finished downloading, the app crashed, and hasn't been able to load since. I have tried restarting my device. Any fixes you guys could think of? Or would I have to delete the game then re-install?

    BTW, is there an online save so that if I do have to delete it, I retrieve my progress?

    Not a big fan of the coin goal in this level at all. Just spent 45 minutes, 60% of the time smacking my head on the low ceiling, and maybe hitting the coin 1 in 100 times. Of those times, I made it through to the next part twice, and the first time I missed the second coin and exploded. Very frustrating level, seems to be pure luck and not really having anything to do with skill. Almost changed my 5 star rating to 2 stars cause of this, but I ended up getting the coin so I changed my mind :lol:

    Really looking forward to this update. All I need to do now is get 3 stars on Dragon's teeth (have gotten 2:08 and 2:00; and a few times I made it through the teeth and across the three trials at the end within like 1 minute - more than enough time to get up to the finish in 1:30, but I choked). I seem to hover at around a world rank of 95 or so. I'd really like to know how many stars George Stobart has gotten.

    I really think you guys should add into the game the ability to see where you stand as far as time to finish a level. I feel like I have some pretty decent times on some really hard levels, would like to see my overall rank on each level time-wise and maybe even have the ability to play against the ghost of the person with the record in that level.

    I completed all the levels (not counting all the joker levels) except the last extreme one. The one with the blades. How in the world do you get past those things???

    Also, are there any plans to add an in-game way to find and rate user created levels?

    Unfortunately 2nd gen is not powerful enough to run Bike Baron :( I tried many things to get it working there but no luck.

    Sorry for the inconvenience,but you stumbled upon a bug in the game.

    We found a way how to make the game run again. The game has built in system to start level automatically when you click on a level on our site from your device.

    To do this go to Safari on your iPhone/iPad/iPod and go to our site http://bikebaron.blogspot.com/ and then click on the first user level name you see. This should start the game.

    This bug will be also fixed in next update.

    Please let me know if the game works or still keeps crashing,
    Vlad

    What happened to the level code for the post on the bike baron blog yesterday. It said featured level-> way of sun, but there was no link to it?
