    Okay! Found a solution to the problem. If you rewind the games plays to one of your own turns, then! you can resign. Weird. Oh well at least now I can move on with my life and my puck! Still needs to be adressed!

    Random opponents auto-resign after 5 days of non-play and custom opponents auto-resign after 8 days of non-play. So those games won't fill up your list forever.

    This game has become my latest obsession. I bought the game a day or two before the sale, but I don't mind, it's worth paying extra for!

    Found a bug: When a player respawns on top of you, it kills the game. It says it's your turn, but there are no arrows to let you move.

    Can't wait to see what you guys do in the future! We'll be following closely!

    Those values for when the game auto resigns are way too long. They should be either voteable or just just set before a game is made as some option or something.

    Thanks for the support! About the bug, in some cases like this, it can take a while for the physics to come to rest, which must happen before the next turn can be played. When there are no arrows, that's what's happening even though it can be hard to see. So you may have to wait a little longer for it to finally come to rest, but it should eventually stop and allow you to play. We'll try to make improvements to this.

    JMarceLF and Pawtklok - we'll be studying the typical play patterns of people to try to optimize the auto-resign times for everyone. Believe it or not, there are some people that like to play pretty casually (once a day or even less), even though others (myself included) like to play at a more rapid pace. So we want to make sure to choose times that work for the most people without making game setup more complex. Thanks again for the feedback, we really appreciate it!

    Finally picked this up with the sale and addition of random games. And....I suck. Hopefully, I'll get better, but right now people are on second laps when I'm still on my first. Gotta figure out using power ups too.

    Anyway, if you don't want a challenge (or are just a newbie too), my nickname is awp69

    With a wife and two kids I may not always be able to take my turn as promptly as I'd like, but I will try to play as much as I can! Here's to getting better!

    Well, I might just add you later today! :) I picked up the game last night, and I can guarantee that I am going to suck. I tried playing a 2-player game by myself to get a feel for it, but that's it. I also have a wife and 1 kid, so I don't have much time myself, but like you said, I'll try to do what I can.

    EDIT: my nick is: mikeg123

    Not sure how much use I'll get out of the random online opponent feature but I'm glad the devs are still working on stuff.

    I would like to see the ability to delete completed online games implemented. I can delete all other complete games but just not old online ones. It happens on both my iPhone (3G) and iPad (both loaded with iOS 4.2).

    I like the random player order idea as I still feel there is a slight advantage to going first. And of course, new courses, new powers, new obstacles, and custom or new disc designs are always welcome!

    Welcome to the game awp69 and mikeg123, we hope you like it! There is a little bit of a learning curve getting the swipes down, but everyone picks it up really quickly. And like mikeg123 said, practicing against yourself in a pass-and-play game is really useful.

    spacemonkeymafia10, thanks for the feedback. The completed online game list will only keep the last 10 completed games, so don't worry about that list getting too big.

    After some more playing, I just wanted to say that -- despite my (hopefully constructive) critique above -- I really do enjoy the game very much.

    One thing I wonder about is, I think I was able to swipe-delete completed matches from the list at first, but now I can't anymore...? Why's that?

    And, let me say, while an auto-replay of your opponents' moves as soon as you re-enter the game is much needed, the manual replay button still is a great thing. So we'd need both. :)

    And one more suggestion: Maybe you can add on option for the speed of the transition animation from one player to the next, at least if you don't add a zoom out feature here. If that animation was just a little bit slower, maybe it would be much easier to not get lost in the map.

    ask_me, you can swipe-delete pass-and-play games at any time, but not online games. The completed online game list only stores your last 10 completed games.

    Thanks for your other feedback, we're definitely considering auto-replay and improvements to the zoomed out mode.

    Hi, first off I love the game!

    I'm just wondering if there is any way to turn on badges for the notification of game moves? I don't see it as an option in the notification settings?

    I'm definitely liking the game! :) I need a lot of practice, though. I have a couple of games going, and it is quite comical. But I see what you mean about a learning curve with the swipes. I keep going for a power swipe, and I completely flub the shot. :)

    The slower pace of asynchronous play is something I have to get used to, but I like the fact that I don't have to sit down and play games through in one sitting.
