    Dude the revelation for me was finding there are alternative methods. I hated the controls but I changed them form the slider to the up down buttons and then switched the up down buttons from the right to the left of the screen.

    This literally changed the game for me, I kept dying when the movement buttons were on the right cos I couldn't see what was coming up in front of me. As soon as I changed I have breezed to level 16 and completed all challenges easy as pie!!!

    (Ps. To do this as the game begins, hold down the shoot button and swipe it accross to the other side of the screen.)

    Dead Ahead version 1.0.1 is now being approved by Apple.
    It will have a clear option to change controls.

    Awesome! Aside from telling how far we are into the objectives and the clear option change controls, could you tell us if there is something else?

    I definitely need some tips for this. I'm at rank 10 and finding the objectives really difficult. Where the heck is the super boss?

    If anyone can help me out in general, like best way to get big combos and stuff, that'd be really helpful...

    Super boss is the dark grey variant of the hulking green zombie that chases you down every 1-2km. It spawns randomly once you hit level 10, so you should come across him very soon.

    The grenade launcher with double reload speed helps me get the big combos done, timing each shot with running over zombies between reloads.

    Like Smartbomb says, Super Boss should be 1 mile into a level.

    To get the 100 kill combos and such you need an upgraded vehicle like the dirt bike for example, and a good weapon like the heavy pistol, and maybe the super boss chasing you for a while, he is helpful for the combo thing, kills a lot of zombies on the way and makes it easier. I also did it on the second map, not the third one, easier to navigate there through the cars. And I have never purchased a consumable item too.

    The basic is an upgraded dirt bike, that helped me a lot with the tough objectives.

    Thanks for the answer... Good to know about it. Hope for many updates :)

    It should have been by design, also looking into the bug with daily challenge award per rank.

    Having restarted the game by wiping my data off the device, I noticed one of the early objectives being odd.

    There's a rank 7 objective to shoot 50 zombies with any pistol. Either the wording is off or there's a bug that only allows this to be completed with the heavy pistol. I tried with the first two pistols and they didn't do enough damage to kill zombies. However in one run I had over 500 zombies killed so I'm sure I would have shot 50 zombies. I was able to complete this finally with the heavy pistol, either because the objective actually wants me to kill 50 zombies or the first two pistols don't register for this objective.

    Also about the screamer/banshee is there an acknowledgement on this being a bug? I'm playing this on an ipad touch (5th gen?). I should also be on iOS 5 since I haven't applied the latest update.

    Any news on further updates? (Other than the one that's already been submitted). Like others I've finished all there is to do & need some more Dead Ahead action!

    Buying Vera the Shooter has already proven most helpful!

    I don't usually make IAPs, but on games I'm really enjoying I don't mind one bit!

    Looking forward to the update!

    I bought Vera too & the Akira bike, thought it best to give the developers some money for this awesome game...
    Roll on the next updates!

    That good bro, maybe you like run 1 gear on dirt bike :D. Personally like sidecar too, imagine when you run it with very high speed and hit zombies, owh, very happily.

    Hey DigY. I'm hoping this is part of the update, and if not it is something that should be implemented.

    Progression in the missions. After each run, I'd love to know how far I actually got in each mission. I'm stuck on a "run over 200 with the quad" mission. And I have NO idea how close I am to getting it. So knowing how well I did after each run would be greatly helpful in perhaps trying a new strategy.

    Great game in any case, and looking forward to the update!

    EDIT: LAWLZ. As soon as I post this, the update is pushed to the app store. Notes simply read: "Bug fixes & gameplay enhancements." Sounds solid.

    So you can flip the controls now. It shows you that you can flip them mid-run which is interesting. But if you want to do that before getting into the game (since I don't see how flipping mid game is helpful), just go into the settings on the main screen and tap the top button to switch from right to left hand.

    Great!, "running" to download it. Such an awesome, innovative and fresh endless runner <3

    Edit: It crashes while on wifi, without it runs fine (iOS7 only maybe?). Before the update it runned fine. :O

    Edit2: Not only on wifi but also on EDGE and 3G

    Last Edit: Its safe while not connected to the internet and or airplane mode. But remember I'm on iOS7, maybe for iOS6 works normally.

    After updating and making 3 or 4 runs, can't say I've experienced any crashes yet.
