    Yeah, a big salute...but clearly the psychedelic colors and the white noise have rendered him a gibbering mad man. :p

    Hi. Just signed up to say Monkey Labour is one of my favourite things, so I was very excited to find this new game from you guys. And I love it! I like the sound too. I sort of love/hate the instant addiction... :D

    Anyway, thank you for another great game.

    That sir, I am. :)

    But then again, if I wouldn't be, I couldn't beat Nightmare under 23 seconds:



    Personal record is 12, but that's not caught on tape (or the leaderboards either, since it was during the final testing). Another guy in the team got almost to 10 though!

    ...

    As for you, Mr. Jabsticks, hat off and kudos! You're one of only two people in the world who scored higher than me on Monkey Labour. I think it's only fair you beat me in Dream of Pixels as well.

    Behold, Mister Jabsticks enters the room!

    Ladies and Gentleman!

    Give it up for - Mister Jabsticks - the owner of the #1 spot of the Monkey Labour All Time Leaderboard!

    Yes, he even beat all of us, developers, to the point, we just gave up in tears, while swearing at our devices! (And went on to make Dream of Pixels. ;) )

    11.388 points, ladies and gentleman - eleven thousand three hundred and eighty eight points!

    We bow down to you, sir.

    Thanks, and you even signed up for this - thanks a lot! :D

    No, sir! Thank YOU!

    I'd say I'm impressed but it would require me to first pick my jaw off the floor! :eek:

    Loving this little game. I find it easier on phone over the iPad, but totally addictive on both.

    Just managed 11.61 on Nightmare mode :D

    Damn iOS notifications when you're playing and on a good run though! lol

    Interesting, we found it a bit easier on the iPad while testing!

    Whoa! That is the Top All Time Nightmare wake up time! Congratulations, sir, you have just caused more headaches for us as we try to maintain our top scores! :D

    Indeed. :p But, hey, guys, we figured out an interim "solution":

    FIRST, complete all the achievements
    SECOND, turn off the internet connection.

    :D

    This is a very interesting puzzle game. The graphics is nice and the graphics and sound matches pretty well. :)

    It's impossible not to like this game. It's a great interpretation of a classic game and freshens up a stale formula. Deffinately a must get

    Just find I'm quicker around the screen and visually take everything easier as well, especially when trying to save a game in trouble.

    Top spot didn't last for long lol :D

    Now to try and clear all the achievements.

    :D Thanks! We passed 100 ratings now. Still a perfect 5-star!

    Thanks!

    Thank you! :D

    Hehe, practice? :)
    23 is pretty good, btw! Most people hardly get past 10 lines. :p :D

    I've completed 59/60 puzzles, but my score on the leaderboard is only 56. :( Also, if someone can help me out with the solution to 'Apple' before I smash something, that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    I will try my best! I have a very long commute so this game will surely be a very big part of it.

    And @DawnOfPlay, thank you for the kind words. I wouldn't have spent so much time with the game if you didn't make it brilliant.

    But as for this game! When I posted yesterday I'd only played for maybe two hours. Now I'm well and truly addicted. Fantastic job, guys!

    ---

    Actually now that I think of it, I have a question. When I used to play Monkey Labour on my commute, whenever I got a high score I had to pause the game and wait till I got back home to the wifi, just so the score could be uploaded. I assume it wasn't storing highscores and uploading them next time Game Centre was available (though maybe I was doing it wrong).

    So I'm wondering if it's the same with Dream of Pixels? Do you have to be connected at the time, for scores to upload to Game Centre? Or does the game store them and upload once you get back online?

    I love this game! My girlfriend, apparently, does too. I just wanted to show her the game really quickly and haven't seen my iPad since ;)
    She's currently place 28 in the global leaderboards :D

    You created a masterpiece guys!
