    Just to let you guys know :) We're working on upgrading Daddy Was A Thief.
    There are new enemies, a lot of new different floors to explore, some new obstacles
    and even more exciting and explosive gameplay coming soon. Also bug fixes.

    Great news!
    Could i suggest you to clean up the leaderboards? It's not good to see at number one hacked scores like 9 millions and more. Thanks and keep up the good work!

    Update's out; it fleshes things out a bit more. Played til floor 300, and saw:

    -A few new floor arrangements (stools, small tables, washers stacked on dryers, etc...more opportunities for destruction).
    -New guy: TV watcher. Not sure if he can kill you or not, or if he can even affect you like the granny.
    -2 new obstacles that kill: a bomb, and a side-to-side moving laser which is tough.
    -Some floors are reinforced and require more than one jump when big; some of these floors have a one block 'weak spot' that you can still bust through in one jump.

    Very solid, if not completely spectacular, improvement. I like these devs a lot and am impressed with the speed of the update.

    Yeah... Loved this game before, but, like Crumble Zone, an update later and it feels more like a FULL game (if that makes sense...)

    Rebel Twins has very quickly become one of my favorite iOS Devs.

    If anywhere near as cool as this one, I guess I'm going to have to look Crumble Zone up. :)

    I prefer crumble zone to this actually...

    It's definitely one of my favorite iOS games...

    Just played it a bit, very snazzy hybrid of Asteroids and Missile Command in a weird way.

    Great game! Good concept for endless run type of game. BUT:
    1) too little upgrade, strictly speaking only have 3 upgrades in whole game
    2) no mini archievements to give bonus like other endless run game, e.g. 3 x mini archievements give extra coins or heart
    3) GC archievements are way too little, only 14 of them, add more to keep up the motivation to play again and again, suggested archievements can be something like "break 200 sofa"...

    After I played for a while (current level 22) I lose my motivation to continue to play, especially when I did all the upgrades, tried 5 x hearts single run, I can't find any more stuff I want to do or discover...

    Yeah it gets old rather quickly... Only 1 upgrade left and many coins to spend, just have to reach the rank to buy it. The game is sort of unique and fun nonetheless, but short.

    2 weeks after release I must say that this is a huge dissapointment. There is not much to do, I would like to see more upgradable power-ups, missions and more achievements. In the current version this game is not addictive at all.

    Does anyone know if you can stack consumable power ups?

    **edit**

    k... yeah - you can... playing a game now with 9 extra lives. =oP

    I know I'm gonna die before I can earn back all the currency I dumped into this one game, but whatever. =oP


    Ha... yup... lost 7 lives in about 6 seconds. Hit by a bullet - respawn on top of a missile - fall down onto a laser - respawn on another missile - fall down onto a bullet - fall down into the old guys remote ray - respawn on yet another missile. I had no control over any of it. I didn't swipe once during that whole death be to me section. Just bad luck I suppose? Or maybe the game is conspiring against me?!? Wound up earning 700 coins that game. Yippie... wasted 2,500 coins.


    Oh well...

    Ha yeah, a little frustrating. I still enjoy the game more than most, it seems.

    Given the much higher odds of a random, unavoidable death since the update, the coin doubler at 3000 coins is a guaranteed loss.

    nevermind...


    Thank you so so so so much for the update!!! I can't wait to unlock the new upgrades!

    ***

    Am I right in thinking that the two new upgrades (UFO and Jetpack) can be unlocked when you reach level 60?? If so, how do I unlock them? I'm a level 82 (and just leveled up from level 81 after updating) - and they haven't unlocked...
