    That bug reminds me of the early days of Super Meat Boy where if you rapidly switched characters at the right time, the timer would get stuck at 0, making A+ times much easier to get. Good to know so I can avoid doing it, thanks.

    Awesome you guys all seem to dig the game! Glad to see that most of you are into the fact that it isnt just a direct copy of Flappy Bird's gameplay. Since the response has been far greater than we thought, I think we will release a quick update to add an iAP to remove ads and if all goes well, maybe even add in the multiplayer. We just have to see if we can address some lag issues that are going to come with the control scheme and the online matches. Local multiplayer should be silky smooth though ;)

    Gold stared every course. I'll still pay for the ad removal though, when it's available. Also, I second the request for SS1 courses!

    Wow nice work! iAP is enroute. We also got a first draft of the multiplayer working. Still some work to do but it is already crazy fun.

    A little taste of the multiplayer mode on the Vine! https://twitter.com/noodlecakegames/status/449295872837185536

    It's looking like Badland. :D

    Super fun game. I love the clever take on the "Flappy" clones out there.

    Looking forward to getting all golds!

    I third this. Usually everyone is saying hopeing for game centre achievements and I'm just like meh I hope it's fun. But with this, me and my friend are always playing together, so I wish it would keep out person bests on game centre or something, but it does have 279 levels so that would be kinda hard

    Yeah I was thinking about this. Maybe find some way calculate score behind the scenes and make a numerical value for Game Center. I have seen something like that before.

    Like, give every course a score value. Every time you finish a course with less flaps, the score for that course increases. So every unplayed course would be worth 0 points, but once you play it and use less flaps than the "target" the score value starts to increase for that course. You would then add that score to the total for all courses. The player wouldn't see this, but when they check the leaderboard they would see a score. You could call the leaderboard something silly if you wanted to like, "Flappy Prowess". lol

    They get 100 leaderboards. If they really wanted to, they could have a board for each world that totaled the high score of each level in that world. Of course, I'd rather see it per-level, but they couldn't do that through Game Center.

    Noodlecake, that multiplayer clip looks amazing.

    Finally (and desperately): I have gold starred every level up to Factory-3, but I can't even get the silver on F-3. Anybody have tips? In the meantime, I'll keep plugging away at it.

    Edit: Of course I'd score gold just a few tries after asking for help. Never mind :)

    I agree, minty 4 can't be done in 8 to get a gold star.

    Yea that was our bad. We put in the wrong Flap count for that one. However some people have still managed to get it. How is beyond us lol The update coming soon will fix this.

    5 flaps to the right wall, rebound and 4 flaps to get the -5 token and land on the bottom sticky ball (4 flaps).
    2 flaps to get through the portal and onto the top sticky ball (6 flaps).
    2 flaps to get over the hump (JUST), fall down the chute and rebound to hole out (8 flaps).

    The first part is easy, the next 2 are very difficult and it's crucial where you land on the bottom sticky ball because it has a slightly higher point that makes all the difference.

    A number of SSG2 forum members have done it (unfortunately I'm not one of them yet!)

    I just did it in 8, if I knew how to post videos I would show you

    Go on to YouTube and search 'flappy golf ML4' it shows how to get to the hole in 8 flaps but unfortunately I could record it going in

    Ryan, six seconds of footage isn't enough to know whether multiplayer is a race or if it's still golf (lowest flap counts win), but it looks like a blast. Either way, you guys should consider a speed mode where you go for the fastest completion instead of the most efficient. It leads to a completely different playstyle that could be a blast in both single- and multi-player. It sort of loses its golfiness, but just trying it on a several levels when I'm struggling to get gold has been pretty fun. This could be taken all the way to adding par time in addition to par flaps on each level. I imagine it would be impossible in most, if not all, levels to get both pars in a single run.

    Anyway, back to playing. I just reached Minty Land.

    sweet music!

    Is anyone else enjoying the music as much as I am?

    I still can't believe how many courses there are in this game...
