    Alright now lets leave reviews on the Appstore, beyond the forum here - the world has yet to be inspired :)

    If your wanting to see some gameplay, here's a video I just made. It's definitely different, which is good! Not to mention the world is HUGE. Can't wait to explore it all.

    Many moons ago, there was a game called "Free Willi" on flash. You might still find it in cyberspace somewhere. This is very reminiscent of that game. I played Willi for Hours grabbing "cabbages" and not getting crushed by stones. I am really thrilled to find this. Not because of reliving days past, but because it's on my phone. I may double dip to get it for my iPad also.

    Great job, guys!

    No issues on an iPhone 6 with 9.2, just in case anyone was wondering.

    EDIT: Ooh, couple of things. Firstly, I LOVE how the app is named Cap'n Cowboy on our devices, rather than a bunch of ugly ellipses showing up. Awesome attention to detail. :) Secondly, it's worth noting that the game doesn't respect the iPhone's mute switch. Could something be done about this?

    Got it, like the visuals, not diggin the conttrols and really hating that the boulders can fall sideways randomly.

    The physics is based on the presence of support. A Boulder is round and can't stand by itself ontop of another Boulder thus will fall over to the side if space is available.

    About the Mute-button, I'll look into that. I do have an onscreen MUTE-button in 1.2, if you want to listen to other stuff while playing. But there should be something fancy to catch if the user turn of the actual mute button as well. :)

    However, this iOS 8 seem to be an issue.
    I can only guarantee support for it to run with the latest version of any operating system on any available device since I can't really backroll the OS on my own device. But I'll look into that as well. It does work on iOS 7 for the iPhone4 so it seems strange.

    Now it's morning here in Sweden and it's time to run and buy some milk for the coffee. Hurray!

    Haha, while Quantum Sheep is TouchArcade's resident tea developer, I could totally imagine you being the coffee developer. Enjoy it. :)

    Oh, and of course thanks for looking into the mute issue.

    I love this so far. It's going to be even more fantastic once the next update hits for universal support.

    I agree the trailer is great and the game looks good too. But I need some more feedback on the actual game before I plunk down my cash. I might crack before it happens, but I'm hoping some gracious TA'ers will leave more imps on this game.

    Well I'm loving it. I've played for a couple of hours (conservative estimate), visited maybe 30% of the map and collected just over 600 gems. I love the fact that I keep discovering new ways to get around the map and new ways to interact with things around me.

    My only problem is that I've managed to block off one end of a passageway I was in and only discovered four screens later that the passageway is ultimately a dead end! It seems that my only option is to start again from the beginning. :(

    Hi, I'm Fredrik, level designer on Captain Cowboy.

    mr_bez: There are two solutions to your problem of being stuck!

    1. Always carry a Snorkhog! Yes, that's right. They're not dangerous. :)
    2. In the upcoming version 1.2, you'll be able to "Re-enter" the maze without losing your progress.

    I've heard some people collecting them in the prison cages at the space station since it's accessible from almost all the busstops!

    Thanks. I was going to suggest a Re-enter button! I had discovered the Snorkhog trick, but I assume you can only carry one and I'd already used mine.

    They seem to be quite rare in the wild and there seems to be a disproportionate number in the cells. Is that some sort of social commentary?! :)
