    I stopped at 37 yesterday and moved up to 45 today, but was hoping to get a little higher. This game wears me out after awhile. It tethers me to it and I can't escape from it until I'm bleary eyed and my fingers hurt! I'm weak, I think I forgot to eat. See this is what happens when you make the game one touch to replay...they even took it one step further by having the game running in the background and you have to jump in like it's Double Dutch Jump Rope to get started. Clever, but too tempting!

    Twitch games, man. You think you're done with them and then Break Liner happens.

    AKD, Do you have a different GC account for your phone?
    I think Cloudpuff would put a nice dent in this...

    That was great! :D

    I love reading well-written posts, etc and there are so many good writers here on the forums, including you.

    I have the same GC name (AnotherkellydwN) but recently updated to iOS10. From what I've been reading in the forums there's no way to add friends or get friend requests, which makes sense since they've nixed the app. It just seems like I'm (we're) still missing something though. Let's hope so...

    Cloudpuff hadn't been playing much when I had GC but yeah, I actually thought of that too.

    Sorry for going completely off-topic there. Lol

    I must say this is a truly fun game, when I get some more $ on my account I will definitely be buying the ad removal. Everyone should be playing this. The game is fun and addicting, and it is FREE.

    Alright AKD, I went from 49 to 61 today. That's enough for now! Looks like you got some catching up to do. I've got a decent strategy going, which has been making things easier. I've been taking more risks at the front end of each level by cutting at least twice on the longer lines, and twice always before an oncoming sideways redline to avoid those. Once I get my shield mid-level I play a little more conservative and am also willing to blow my shield on a tight spot. From there, I play shield-less and try to cut my way through the last lines I have before leveling up.

    Edit: One more thing. I've noticed that you can cut a line, if you hit the exact center where the redline comes out of the mainline. It's tricky to pull off, but I've done it a bunch of times so I can't tell if this is a part of fair game play or an unusual bug? Has anyone else been able to do this?

    paulkane, I'm using just about the same strategy as yours, and I've gotten to 72 with it (there's a new cheater now, at 150). I've also noticed the 'miracle' breaks at the orange corners, though I wasn't sure they were right at the corners. However, I just did it again now, and it was definitely at a corner. It does seem like a bug.

    I noticed the corner thing too. Doesn't bother me but it's good you thought to mention that.

    Also use pretty much the the same strategy as you, PK, but I'll try being a bit more aggressive. Give you and Klaorman something to do :p

    By the way, this is totally a "Mike Meade Game". ;)

    I was happy just to make it to 25!!!

    Then the other lines showed up. I didn't see that coming. The game really does get better and better.

    Just played my personal records 84 and then 85 in one single flight. Just thinking about being able to reach 169 makes me nervous :D I love this game. One record at a time :)
     
  11. Thanks for the kind comments everyone!
    FYI we've partnered wit Ketchapp to publish the game, so they are going to bring the game to a wider audience. It was very much a heart vs. brain decision for us, we really price our independence, but our priorities right now is to survive as a developer.
    We've got a nice update on the way with more ships & the introduction of gold lines.

    Hopefully we'll get the opportunity to tweak game-play in coming updates, we've got a few ideas for new game mode we'd love to try out.

    Cheers,
    Mamau Games

    So, will the app be re-released under this publisher? You deserve a broad audience. Regarding twitch games, it's my personal GOTY.

    Best Ketchapp game I've played so far!
    I have a low frustration threshold, but this fits comfortably within it.

    Great new stuff to unlock, keeps me coming back for more!

    Lots of ads now but I guess that'll give people mote incentive to get the ad remover.

    Yay, more motivation to keep playing, but the highscores are messed up now.

    I normally do not keep ANY Ketchapp games on my iPhone. But since I already paid for no ads and I only have to see the one screen with the Ketchapp logo I'll keep this one. But only this one.

    I was enjoying the game till the Ketchapp update. There are so many ads now it's destroyed the flow of the game. The banner ad at the bottom is particularly badly located. I like to pay for freemium ad-removal because I enjoy a game not out of frustration at having the game interrupted all-the-time. I know this was a heart/head decision for you guys. I do appreciate that.
     
  19. @Konch I feel your pain. Hopefully we'll make enough to keep the next game independent. Meanwhile, I'll see what we can do about that banner.

    Thanks for your feedback, have a nice weekend!

    I noticed the file size has shot up a lot. I think the base size is like 140mb or something? I swear the original was under 50mb. Not sure why it's so big. And to make matters worse, this game has a common "bug" many ad focused games have which is that after every ad is seen, the app downloads the ad permanently inside the app so the file size continues to blow up. My app was nearing 300mb :/
