    Hi,

    I had this on my buy list but have since decided not to get it, at least right now.

    After playing the flash version some and not needing the online leaderboard feature, just decided my money would be better spent elsewhere.

    The online version just got a little bit boring and if it is indeed pretty much the same game, this has limited replay value for me.

    Probably would buy if it went onsale but it sounds like this is not something that will occur, oh well.

    Until now, I have tried downloading the update for 30 times, even deleted the app several times. Nothing works! Sooooo annoying! :( Happening with many games. I want Canabalt!

    I laughed so much when it says "you ran XXXXm before knocking down a building" or the "missing another window"

    Got the "knocking down a building one." Got the "somehow hitting the edge of a billboard" one too. X-)

    Is there a way to disable vibrating?

    I sometimes like playing this game in quiet areas, but the vibration from my phone is really loud.

    That would be a good option to add in the next update.

    lol. It depends. Does the buyer like retro style games? Does the buyer already own Jet Car Stunts, Zen Bound, Soosiz, and Doodle Jump? If the answer is 'yes' to both questions, Canabalt 1.2 might be worth the purchase.

    You should be a politician... LOL! :)

    Still a pass for me...not my kind of game play although I love the graphics and the music. But I agree at LEAST it sounds like a finished game now.

    :D

    Oh, and add geoSpark and geoDefense Swarm to that list.

    Yeah, it feels more complete, and I don't regret my purchase as much now.

    Currently this is not available in our global options dialog, but will DEFINITELY be in the next update, we just totally overlooked it. Will be remedied soon!

    Please include the option of classic mode on the next update with online leaderboards for it, I don't like the look of something dropping from the sky and just ending your game. Seems very cheap to me and not in the spirit of the original.

    But... things did fall from the sky in the original? :confused: I really don't see how gameplay has significantly changed in this update.

    I also just scored #8 worldwide with 15k, beat that!

    I'm a building with no phone-signal so I can't test it for myself, but do the new leaderboards show where I am positioned globally (like pos. no. 17592nd probably!)...? Or does it only show the top players, or what?

    Looks like it only shows top players, which is a bit annoying.
