    Thank you for the PM. I some time aside right now to try and see if I can get a bit better using your suggestions. Plus I want to unlock some more characters! Let's see how it goes!

    Ok,

    I just got the same character 3 times in a row. Is there anyway you can please change that? I watched a bunch of ads for the coins even though I bought the coin tripler. Getting the exact same character 3 times in a row is a bit much. It was the Skrillex character. I got the dinosaur first and then the Skrillex character 3 times.

    I'm starting to get the controls a bit better. I'm getting there.

    This is a great little game with reasonable iaps, great gameplay and good controls. Ale times the controls are not that responsive and i got one freeze (music still playing) on the live iOS 10 build. Enyoing it so far.

    Glad to hear that you are getting better at it Billy! The mechanism for unlocking new character is randomized and we strongly believe that is for the best in the long term :)

    Thank you and see you on the leaderboards :)

    Thank you so much for the feedback! So far we did not have any crashes for the game reported through the system but we will check again! Thanks again, glad you are enjoying Disco Dave :)

    Cheers!

    This one is pretty fun! I have to hold my phone tilted to the left a bit or else the angle of the dance floor really screws me up, lol. I'm complete rubbish at this game so far, but I'm going to try to get the hang of it. Don't expect to see me on the leader boards, haha!

    Ok,

    So after playing and playing and playing and playing I got a little better but not much. Usually when I lose in a game I want to feel like it's my fault that I lost. That's not how I feel in this game. I feel I'm fighting the control scheme more than the game. Adjustments need to be made to it for it be fun yet challenging. For instance increase the time slightly you have to swipe.

    Secondly at this point I'm no longer watching ads. Normally in a crossy road style system there's a 40% chance you get a character and usually you do not get the same character multiple times in a row. Devs usually make sure that's coded in. I've watched so many ads that it ran out. I also paid for no ads. I shouldn't continue to get the same repeatedly multiple times in a row bam bam. Twice I've gotten a character 3 times in a row. So no more ads. It's not worth my time anymore. This needs to be adjusted.

    I really want to just flat out love the hell out of this game. There's so much that's really awesome about it. But the above two issues are pretty huge and really detract from the experience for me. I write this so the dev can understand from a player and fan perspective. I spent several hours dedicated playing. I paid the IAP's to show financial support and watched so many ads the ad network told me to go eff myself hehe. I really just want to enjoy the game more. Also remember video ads don't just take my time but also my data which is not unlimited. If I'm not getting a fair return then I won't waste my data.

    Late to comment as I've been playing this since release. I really like this. If you feel like you can't make it to that tile you need on time, just land on any old colored tile. Yes, it resets your combo, but it's better than the alternative. :)

    I'm close to breaking 1,000 points. That's my goal for now. Lots of nifty characters to unlock. @LordShad0wz - I wouldn't worry too much about the character collection (unless of course you really like collecting them) since they are all purely cosmetic. Hope you start kicking some serious disco butt!

    It's crazy that there's only one song but it keeps me pumped even after longer sessions. Wouldn't hurt to have a couple more tunes... Also, glad there is Game Center support for leaderboards, now we just need some achievements ;)

    Keep up the good work and congratulations on getting featured, Amused Sloth!

    Edit: a little potato chip grease (pizza works too) goes a long way towards lubing up that thumb :/
    Works great on SHMUPs as well. No joke.

    Hahahahahah! omg the trick with the grease really works!!! Just tried this out with some BBQ ribs and got to say I raised a few hundreds in the leaderboards!

    Thank you for the suggestions! We are definitely going to add lots of cool stuff in the game! Stay tuned ;)

    Sweet! :D

    Does the tempo increase as your combo multiplier goes up? It's probably just me getting more tense.

    It's the disco fever taking over!

    The music and the speed actually remain the same. The speed of the rotating character is increasing for every successful combo move. Probably that makes you think that the game and music are getting faster :)

    Ah, yes. The disco fever has definitely consumed me. That explains that! I liked your retweet of my "potato chip trick". :D

    Where did you get this information from? I have never heard it from any developer. They are almost always 100% RNG.

    Waiting for the review!!!

    Hi all,

    we have submitted an update to Apple and we are still waiting for the approval of the update (the probably are probably overwhelmed with the iOS 10 updates so we probably have to wait a bit more). But not worries there!

    When we get the green light I will post here what we have prepared for the game this week :)

    Up to what score is real on the leaderboards, I'm pretty sure I saw a 800k score as the highest.. My personal highest is 15k

    From the technical point of view even the 800k can be a real score! Even your score of 15k for my personally seems unreal!!! My max is 1920 points!!! You're good!
