    Any news on the next update and fixes please? Not that any of us are bored yet, quite the opposite. Now where is my battery charger...

    More thoughts on my suggestion of having varying level heights, ramps and slopes would be to incorporate loop-the-loop sections either with or without walls!!!

    Custom discs please! =P

    Not different shapes, just different paint schemes and the option to use cropped photos from the iPhone library.

    Oooh, I like that! Maybe have a 'wall of fame' of sorts, where you can swipe through all the discs you've won and maybe even use their disc as well.

    Great game!

    I have to agree with Adams Immersive on the balance of going first. I think the faster power up helps but I think that all players should get the chance to play the same amount of turns. The ultimate winner should not just be the first to cross the line per se but the one who crosses and proceeds past the finish the farthest in the same turn. This should eliminate ties still but allow for the situation where the 2nd player isn't screwed when neck and neck with the 1st player at the very end. Many turn-based racing games follow this model and I think it is quite effective.

    Also, is the power up advantage cumulative with how far behind you are? For example, does 7th place acquire the power up faster than 3rd place? Or is it the same for all those not in first place? Does this change dynamically- if I was in 3rd place and pass 1st place in my turn, does my power up fill at the same rate for the entire turn even though I'm now technically in 1st place?

    Some other things I'd like to see have also been mentioned already: Some form of disc customization, more tracks, more obstacles (moving obstacles would be pretty fun), ability to switch sides of the power up button. I'd also like to see the place achievements of all the racers at the end of the race. It's great to know who won but if anyone is doing a league or campaign style race circuit, finding out who placed 2nd, 3rd, etc. is very useful (and fun to know as well).

    Lastly, I have a weird bug or error where I can't delete old (and completed) races I played over the net. I can delete Pass and Play games normally, just not previous games I played online.

    Thanks for a great game and I look forward to your updates.

    Another suggestion.

    Let's just say you have a race with 8 players. Can we get an update that enables all players to finish the race? Instead of the first player that crosses the finish line ending the race, others can still battle it out for other positions.

    Also, an option to accept/not accept a rematch. Players can just rematch someone at the end of a race and you have no choice but to either play or resign, giving that player an automatic win.

    Thanks

    Can't wait - any changes to even it up based on who went first to allow for a tie game etc?

    LOL I was on that ramp with my mate about to win the race and TWICE managed to fly between the finishing posts from there BUT didn't quite land on the track.

    Nice one!

    if it's just random players, then count me as dissapointed. i mean sure it's great for new players. but i'm playing enough games with wonderful people from here and boardgamegeek, that the feature doesn't matter as much for me.

    i hope at the very least there are some extra levels.
