    @ Caltab: That's a great idea, I think for the next "big" update, I will provide checkpoints so people don't have to start from the beginning.... I thought it might be too easy if I did that, but I'll take a poll and see what people say

    Thanks for your input, and for playing the game the first time, you did really well!

    I'll also try to add some more puzzle games in there as well! I'll be holding a contest for those of you who want to get creative and come up with your own minigames, and pick the top 3-5 and update it within 7 Second arcade, I will also include you in the credits!

    As for the high score, I've only beaten it 3 times myself :) I made it that difficult because the last tier of the mini-games can make you on edge!

    I'm submitting an update for a couple of minor bug fixes as well:

    The last mini-game, which is near impossible to unlock needs a shoot button, and one of the mini-games towards the end needs an instruction sheet, otherwise everything is working well from my end in testing!

    @ Rachel, next post I'll make an announcement on the $50 dollar itunes gift card :)

    As for the $50 dollar itunes contest, you can start doing marketing for the game now if you like!

    I will give everyone until next Friday to complete their marketing of the game.

    So this will include:

    1) Review the game on itunes

    2) Market the game any which way you like. You can get as creative as you want, and it can include: Videos, blogs, web reviews, tweets, facebook, posting screenshots with funny captions below, anything you like!

    You can also do more than one marketing tactic ie: tweet, plus facebook, or tweet plus video.

    I'll have everyone here take a vote on who's marketing they liked the best, who they thought was the most creative, and I will have the final say on the winner. :)

    Good luck!

    My opinion would actually change on checkpoints depending on the length of the game...if there aren't that many speed increases after the 40's I probably wouldn't say the checkpoints are necessary and agree it'd make the game to easy. Also, does the game end at a certain point or is it endless? If there is a finite end it would also impact m opinion on not have check points. Maybe you could have like an insane mode of the highest speed.

    Yes, if you were in the 40's, you were getting closer to the last part of the game.

    But I'll be adding many more mini-games, so at that point, I'd add checkpoints for people so they don't have to go back to the beginning :)

    Thanks for sending me one! This game is better than WW! It's like Twisted, Touched, and MegaMicroGame$ all in one! Joined the $50 contest! I made a poster and made 200 copies which I will hand out at school and my journalism team is allowing me to post it in the school newspaper! (I'm on the team, btw) Tomorrow I'm leaving a 5 star review!

    OK so here is the poster:

    My scanner isn't working!
    I would post the newspaper ad but I don't want to give away where I live and what school I go to!

    Wait, they aren't showing up! Crap! Link: http://img15.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc06719g.jpg

    Dodger123:

    I PM'd you, but you are welcome to use the main music track as it is royalty free :)

    Kevin Macleod is the artist, and you can check out his music at "Incompetech.com"

    Just look for kickshock, and I think it's under the "electronica" section :)

    Thanks for the marketing! We have 2 so far! :)

    Let me know if you need anymore help!

    Posted a 5 star review! IT'S OUT!!!!! My names something like either Doodlejumpingpocketgodder or pocketgoddingdoodlejumper (hard to remember)

    here's my review for the $25 thing and what I posted on iTunes:

    I would give this ten stars if possible! U play over 50 microgames each lasting 7 seconds! U have 4 lives! This is kinda like WW Twisted! mixed w Touched! mixed w MegaMicroGame$! Great game, gets insanely challenging! Remember, there's only 7 seconds, so it's blink and die! Buy now before the clock strikes 0 seconds!
