    OK thanks for the clarification!
    I'm struggling to test the fix - as it turned out both Testflight and Apple prerelease builds work only with sandbox GC accounts. Topping up a sandbox account with friends is a real pain, we might resort to try fix it without testing. :/

    Awesome endless runner

    Really enjoying this. Maxed out all there is to upgrade. Level 34 atm.

    I thought I'd had enough of endless runners. This proves me wrong. The drunk driver and especially the red lane really lift the game above other lane-changers. The daytona setting fits the genre well too.

    Only one idea for improvement: move the pause button to the right. On straights the button is obstructing the view in the distance, on the top-right of the screen this will never be the case.

    Oh, also the missions sometimes seem a bit simple. Well into the game it's a bit weird getting missions that require no effort ('hit one drunk', 'drive for 5000 yards')..

    Fun racing game where switching lanes is the most important.
    The further you go into the game the more cars and speed there is.
    It can get quite challenging.
    Took me a bit to get used to the controls because they seemed a little over sensitive to me.
    I realized that a quick tap is better then a quick press.

    Cars can be upgraded with in game earned currency. And; I like that there are missions or goals to accomplish.

    So far, coins earned are reasonable.

    Good time waster when you feel like playing with cars....

    Racing and endless runner, two of my favorite game genres! Can't wait for this to launch worldwide! 8)

    Glad you liked it!
    That pause button also bugged us. It was tempting to move it a bit right as you suggested, but finally we moved it to the bottom to keep the screen symmetric. :) Coming in the release build!
    Reporting your note with the mission to those who set it up like that, it's strange indeed.

    Just unlocked the last car :D I'll only be using it to earn more credits to max out the stock car tho as I'm not a fan of the F1 car.

    To whoever send me the Tier 1 Challenge:
    I´ll take care of that as soon as GameCenter doesn´t crash my app.
    But you can keep practicing in the meantime ;)

    Yup, gonna be fun trying to get past that highscore of yours. :)

    And Devs, may i repeat myself but seeing and beating a friends score during a race would be really nice once the GameCenter bug is squashed.

    Once you have GC working it works like that!

    Good news: Apple accepted the latest update just in time for the release day, so we can now submit the GC-fix update.

    Lot's of GC friends cause two issues, first lag, which is noticeable once you have over 20-30 friends and starts getting annoying over 60-70 friends. This one is fixed.
    The other, crashing over 300 friends is PROBABLY also fixed, could not test (our boosted up GC account now sports 90 friends). Trying to boost even more so we can see if the crash is still there.

    Thanks for all you feedback - and patience!

    App Price

    Replying a question from the other thread about how much will the app cost.

    Well initial price depends on Apple.
    At the moment it's set up tier 1 (USD 1). However, if Apple is NOT featuring it on release day we'll change it to Free really quick AND submit an update same day that brings higher in-game prices, in-apps, video ads and offer walls- all the things we dislike but help us stay in business.

    If the game is featured for a week but quickly starts dropping off charts after then the same protocol applies.

    If we are forced to go Free, those who already got the game at full price then eventually upgrading will get a pile of in-game money on update. That pile compensates for the higher prices.

    So thank you in advance to anyone supporting us early with $1!
    To those who get angry seeing an app they just spent for becomes free, you were told the plan.

    Please understand.

    Now take this as constructive criticism from someone who spends a fair bit in the App Store on a regular bases, in my opinion this seems like the type of game that will do better as a free game with higher in game prices, it only took me a few days to unlock all the cars and now most of them are upgraded, paint jobs unlocked etc,
    I really hope it all goes well for you which ever way it's priced as I look forward to more content :D
    Maybe even if it was free you could do special cars that you could only buy with real cash?
    do you think a first person would would be possible?

    I understand your position.
    It would be really a pity if you have to go that way as the game feels perfectly balanced right now.
    But please, for the sake of competition, don't let people continue a run with money or a video add.
