    No worries! I am programmed not to be insulted. :)
    Your feedback is great! :)

    Yes, my computer generated voice does crackle sometimes... dodgy digital vocal chords! :(

    Funny how my words of encouragement make you feel so hostile :eek:
    I'll try to :Dsugar-coat:D them more in our update - maybe that will help! ;)

    Remember... if at first you don't succeed... Try, try again! :)

    Hi.
    At least you have a sence of humour. I said most things in jest (except the crackling part).
    Thanks for a great game. :)

    Timely comment!

    I'm working on the Game Center integration right now and I'm interested to see what you guys would like in there. For leaderboards we are thinking a total for each world and also an overall total score.

    If you have any ideas for achievements you'd like to see it would be great if you could post them here now so I can get them in this next update. Cheers!

    Level 2-4, lightning bolt HELP pls?

    On level 2-4, on the last lightning bolt/ fly part, my character hits the lightning bolt, starts to fly, but stops before I reach the next platform with no available powerups in the area. Have tried jumping later etc. and I still fail.
    Any advice or hints much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Hey cabdog!

    Yes, That is a sneaky level...

    HINT: Unfortunately, the easy way won't get you there. ;)

    ADVICE: At the second platform jump to the lightning bolt... jump but don't
    fly until you are level with the lower line of gems.

    FURTHER ADVICE: Don't over-use your lightning bolt boost, you want to keep
    a bit in reserve to make the last stretch.
    If all goes well - you should just make it!

    Good Luck!

    Be sure to post back here if you manage to make it! :D

    The guys at ezone are currently working on a awesome update... so any feedback is much appreciated! :)

    I've got the feeling that sometimes when I fail and try the same level again it changes and sometimes it doesn't. Is that true? Can you explain how it works (is there a system behind these changes)?

    That is true!

    Every odd numbered level is randomly generated from a list of platforms. So every time you play the order of platforms (and which platforms appear) changes. Also the gap between platforms is randomized, and there is some randomness as to which power-ups/gems appear at a location.

    Every even numbered level (the ones with the wind turbines at the start) are set levels that don't change (although there is still some randomness to the powerups).

    Thanks for buying the game, and I hope you are enjoying it - Cheers!

    I don't think you'll be disappointed if you grab it! We are almost ready to submit the first update, and there are tons of new features:

    - Game Center achievements and leaderboards
    - Boss battles!
    - New powerups and objects
    - Faster paced: objects and items are introduced more rapidly, so the earlier levels will challenge you more
    - New characters

    From gameplay video I don't think I'd be into the "one touch" controls. Any plans on adding a control stick or direction pad? I'm sure developer would have more of a hit with that addition.

    Behind you!
    What would be the point? It's an endless runner-like platformer. That's the way the game plays, it's not meant to be like other platformers. If only one button is needed, why add others?

    agreed... it looks like a full-on 3D version of that 1-Bit Ninja game that's coming out soon... no need for controls... just a jump button.

    With clever, yet challenging level design, big bold colourful graphics and savagely addicting gameplay, Diversion is a genuine 'must have' title for any platform/puzzle fan.

    However, it should be noted that as a high score chaser, Diversions lack of Game Centre integration borders on criminal.

    But even this huge oversight cannot dampen Diversions charm, making it one of the easiest recommendations on the entire App Store.

    PS, no framerate issues here!

    Level 2-4 too hard!

    OK, I've tried level 2-4 about a bajillion times, and several even with these tips here, but I can't finish it, so I'm giving up. Please make this level easier in a future update because now it's just too hard for such a relatively low level.

    :(

    Great to see the continued support. The game already had a staggering amount of content (I have yet to unlock the third world) and it now looks like I'll be starting over again (gladly)!

    Demolishing Dash has come and gone from my device, but this is still a go-to game when I have only a few minutes to spare.

    grabbed this one right before the update... I'm REALLY enjoying it!! Just saw the first mini-boss... GREAT stuff!!! Looks like there's TONS of content, like zero said... =oP

    I'm only on stage 1-16... and feel like I've just scratched the surface of this one. =oD
