    This is great! So slick, and I love the improvements to Missions which make it more accessible.

    Is the mountain procedurally generated block by block with rules, or stitched together from pre-built sections?

    The only bit I do not like, minor complaint, is the control reversal. But that's just my preference.

    Great work!

    I kept wondering that about it being procedurally generated too. Especially since mine always started with sandwich and spike blocks

    If you play long enough, the block patterns are recognizable and they come up fairly often, almost like they are looped, but I don't think they are. In order to get further (to have the patterns change at the beginning of a run) you'll need to clear about 55-60 blocks on average, but it might be less? Sometimes it can be a tricky run and I've had to wait for some bubblegum and then rush through the hard sections.

    Yes, we made sections that are being randomly looped as you go. When you die you always get a second chance at the section you died at.

    Thanks so much everyone for loving the game. We have more characters and more missions on the way!

    DTM is great but my phone seems to heat up ever since I downloaded it. Is this a bug with the game that needs to be fixed?

    Like the game too much. I and my friend compared our score for breakfast and lunch on this weekend (and I lost all time, LOL).

    Congratulations for Umbrella for your new game. Think that it will be one of the best game of July. :)

    I'm surprised with the rarity of keys. I've played 1400 games and found 3.

    0 _ 0

    Edit: You can get keys through the lucky spin. Make that 4.

    Finished the missions! Haven't gotten all the secret characters yet...

    Is there an ETA on the update? Number of new missions/characters to expect?

    Thanks!

    We are uploading a new update tomorrow so we are hoping to have it on the store in the next week or so.
    We will have 15 new characters and 50 more missions in this next about.

    There will also be a couple of secret easter eggs in there :p

    Ok, great. Thanks for the info.

    - -

    Keys unlock treasure chests (new characters).
    Stars buy mission skips
    $0.99 buys 4 keys

    I'm not so sure. My high score on this is greater than Crossy Road. I think Crossy Road starts easier but ramps up harder later on. The difficulty level on this seems to be fairly static as you progress.

    Yes, but you get 5 points for each star, so the scoring is different with DTM.

    Great to GC friends, btw. Your DTM score is awesome.

    You can consumable stars for getting points, still try to figure it out what key does
