    Can confirm 6+ graphics are better.

    Uploading samples to IMGUR...

    Previous version

    New version

    Overall, things are less blurry, pixels are nice and crisp now! :)

    Thanks for the update. The newer graphics is sharp and the field of view is more zoomed out which makes the game slightly easier in the early stages in terms of exploration. It almost feels like I'm cheating..at least compared to the view before, but I'm loving it!

    Edit: Just did a speed run and was so close to escaping. Passed the last set of gates, but just needed extra 0.5 second of fuel. Momentum couldn't let me escape. Talk about a tense moment! It was going to be my first escape too. Time to try again later. ;-)

    Won't allow me to leave review in AppStore since update. This game looks freaking amazing on my iPhone 6 , I'm guessing the update changed the colors or something . Looks sharp and polished

    This is horse caca! Love this game!!! One request... Can you PLEASE relocate the QUIT button on the Pause menu. I have accidentally hit it 1/2 a dozen times and the biggest problem is you lose what you picked up durning that session. Very frustrating!

    Agree :D

    Btw: what a big difference of the viewable area between iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 :eek: (comparing our screenshots)

    Thanks for the feedback on the updated version everybody! Good to hear it's now looking better even on the 6+. And no, colors didn't change, maybe they are looking different now the game isn't upscaled anymore. Larger viewable area was the only way to adapt to the different screen sizes, but I think the effect on the gameplay is not too big.

    And yeah, those 3 lasers have already made my beta testers mad :D But you _can_ get past -- there is no obstacle in the game that is impossible. We proved that before release!

    As for the quit button: That is something I haven't heard before, but i can change it easily. Probably placing it at the top of the screen should reduce the probability of hitting it by accident. Will put that on my list :)

    Cheers, Jan

    The 3 lasers may be possible if you are relaxed at the start of a new mission but its hard if you are playing for 15minutes and you are getting closer to your highscore :cool:

    The exit-button-accident just happened to me for ONE time. Since then i am very careful resuming a game ...
    Button on top sounds clever. I was thinking of a dialog box ("sure?") before your suggestion.

    Great game anyways, Jan!

    Bug?

    It now happened twice to me, that I upgraded either fuel or large crystals and the next time I played, it was back to before the upgrade.

    Not a big problem, since the money also was back to before and it was just a matter of upgrading again. The second time it happened yesterday, with the current version.

    Maybe it did not save properly, because I usually quit playing after the upgrade?

    Hey stooney, yeah, sounds like you quit faster than it could save :)
    Not sure if anything can be done about it, but thanks for the info, I can look into it now. At least you don't lose stuff, so it's not a serious issue.
    Cheers, Jan

    Be sure to find all treasures!
    You can earn up to 2100 points for collecting all parts of a set (depends on the number of parts you have to collect).
    Congrats for reaching the top , btw!

    The score of a run massivly depends on how many luminum crystals and treasures are distributed over the caves. Usually i restart when stage 1 ends with less than 2K ... 2.5K or more is a nice start (2880 is the highest score i experienced so far).
    The most important thing are many treasures (that give lots of bonus), so 3 or more treasures in stage 1 can make a start with a lower score worth to be continued
