    Update didn’t fix the issue. I still have 2 different profiles in my iphone and my ipad.

    It seens gamecenter is only used for achievements and leaderboarda. No sync progression across devices.

    What a shame. Uninstalled it.

    The same crashing issue experienced before rolling after the update.

    The update worked for me and I can play now.

    However, after 30 minutes or so, I don't see where the fun is supposed to be?

    Roll down fruit, upgrade tree or buy new one, roll some more, rinse and repeat. Is that all it is?
    I don't want to be a hater, it just seems to be more of the same?

    Or am I missing something?
    "Collecting" fruit is not enough to keep me playing.

    I see where you are coming from, but for me this type of game is perfect for short-burst play sessions. Perhaps your mistake is playing it for 30 mins straight ;).

    I do have to say, though, that i’m actually enjoying the gameplay, not just the collection aspect. There is some skill involved in getting a long run — not just avoiding obstacles, but taking advantage of the environment to get a leg up. And the art is delightful. For me, sometimes that’s enough to keep me playing.

    I had full expectations on this game. But the release seems to be rushed. Despite being released like 2 months later.

    - No gamecenter progression saving, which is essential. You change your phone, you switch to ipad, you lose all progress.
    - Really poorly optimized, it has several ‘hic ups’ that affects gameplay. In lower end devices such as ipad mini 4 its pretty noticiable.
    - Full of bugs and crashes

    Its a shame, as the game mechanics are quite fun, but im really surprised Noodlecake Studios published a game with these major flaws from the beginning.
