    Bud is at number one, and based on his picture I wouldn't argue with him, you go Bud.

    50 missions completed, a highscore of over 200 and continuing to increase my average. :) Loving this game!

    Downloaded and knew almost immediately that this was a keeper. One paid and happy customer - this hits the sweet spot for being fast and simple and addictive. IMHO far better than Mr. Jump, which right now just feels frustrating to me, although perhaps it's a different genre.

    One request: could you please add a 'back' button to the theme select screen - scrolling all the way through then wanting to keep the original theme makes it a pain to get back. So far the only flaw I've seen.

    Thanks for the kind words! Good suggestion, we actually have that on Android (the standard Android back button), but forgot to create a "software button" for iOS, so we'll add that in our update.

    Wow, those scores are off the hook!

    Does anyone have a favorite shape? I like the pixel dots because they remind me of the 2600 Atari Asteroids. I also seem to get more perfect shots with this shape.

    Currently working on unlocking mission 100...

    My shape of choice was Heartbreaker for a long time and than I unlocked Bacteria which is my favorite ever since. There's still over 30 missions to accomplish for me, but I'm progressing;)

    Ooh, bacteria. That sounds awesome.

    Very clever avatar, btw.

    I just came to post this! I just unlocked it and it's awesome!

    I find myself more focused on completing missions rather than going for high scores. Gotta work on that :D

    I was doing that too until I realized there was an average score. Now I'm working on improving my average, but with close to 600 games completed it is slow going...

    Some of those fast moving shapes hurt my eyes. Does anyone else feel that eye strain? I probably shouldn't play more than 100 games a day, but I really want to unlock all of the shapes!

    We are working on an update which will have an option to turn off the bright flashes you get on perfect hits, so that should help with the eye strain :)
    Other improvements we have planned :

    - 50 new missions
    - 5 new themes
    - some optimizations
    - more stats (# of perfect hits etc)

    One small problem we have is that we assigned too many points to the current achievements, and you can't change that after going live, and we only have about 200 points left to give. There are two solutions, neither of which is ideal :

    - Add 100pt achievements per 50 missions from now on (which would give us the possibility to add 50 more missions later on).
    - Only give a little bit of points per 10 missions from now on

    Any preferences?
