    I like the light-hearted casualness of the game already. Sometimes I jump in quickly to unlock characters and other times it's a long session trying to beat my previous score.
    Most often it's just a short playthrough.
    Why not have a hardcore unlock mode for players like @frisbee10461, that way both types of players could be happy? ^^

    I like Frisbee10461 and Lilyx suggestions... I'm more into completing the 53 characters (still no f@ck1ng white sheep... :(), but getting the chance of unlocking it if I reach 500 or 1000 would be great...

    Kiwi is now my fav. Have all 53 but adding the sheep that bleat and follow you is gold. Easily best game of the year for me in quick to play category.

    I have 52. I've given up on getting the white sheep in this release, so I'm collecting coins for the next update. One thing I've noticed is the coin prices I'm getting are rather low lately. In the last two weeks, the maximum coins achieved were 220, and only once.

    Hang in there. Build up the coins and take a run at it and you'll get the white sheep. Yes coins are lowest but I got a 600+ one yesterday out of the blue. I have over 7000 coins ready for the first new batch. Though my little Kiwi is hard to beat.

    Hello, all! I know i am in the minority, as this game won a game of the year nomination, but I think the focus of the game should be on playing the game, and not on merely collecting characters.

    For weeks now, I was at the 52/53 character level (only missing the big fat pig), but after a while, the game seemed to me more about acquiring that last coveted character than about playing the actual game. When you strip away the bells and whistles, and focus simply on the gameplay, what you are really left with is a Frogger clone.

    Perhaps if the devs focus on enhancing the game itself, I will come back. For now, this game is deleted from my iPad.

    The kiwi is the same, but there are sheep in the scenery looking at you… and obstructing your path! :D

    I'm so excited for the next update. I've been saving my coins which has been hard since I haven't unlocked all of the characters. Any word on when the update might hit?

    Sorry. Back! Have been "heads down" on this new update. It was submitted to Apple last night. We have to push this one through quickly due to a server issue, so it could be very soon. Fingers crossed.

    Re: the articles that have been popping up. Andy and I are really excited that not only are people loving the game, it's being downloaded by a LOT of people and many people are watching ads and buying characters.

    Hopefully this inspires more developers to take a chance on "free" games the next time they make something. We're doing a talk at GDC that will attempt to dissect the game and how/why it worked.

    In Spain too! I had 7200 coins saved for this moment. Already spent all… only missing 3 purchasable characters and all except 1 of the achievable-only characters (I got the psico-koala bear when it jumped from a rock to kill me :D). Btw, I love the 2 new sceneries I've seen atm: the desert and the raining scenery. Very cool. Oh, and… I won the platypus!!!! :D :D :D
