    I finally escaped the cave! What an awesome game.

    I agree there should be some kind of speed run element. Maybe just a separate leaderboard tracking how long it takes to get to 1,000 meters or something.

    What would be REALLY cool is a whole time trial mode with stages that aren't random that you can try to fly through as fast as possible, and race against actual people or ghosts.

    There's just something really satisfying about zipping through the cave at breakneck speeds, barely in control.

    PS: My BSID is sweetdiss if anyone wants friends!

    Man @rbates + @Anotherkellydown - both your stats are untouchable! (at least by me :). I'm totally in the lead for number of deaths though... sigh.

    What are people's thoughts on upgrading the ships handling? I've maxed out most other things but still have these at just a couple pops each. I've gotten used to the handling and would hate to muck it up and not be able to go back.

    Then again... maybe I'm missing out by not fully upgrading it?

    Any comments? Thx

    I've also kept mine at 2 bars each with the same theory. Torque should make the ship react quicker to thrust inputs and I'd imagine the other ("n") would be max thrust. I think you're right....it would be an adjustment, but not sure if there's anything to gain....hmmm

    To the Devs - was reading the story about one of you (sorry, I didn't see a name just the pic and the story) going through chemo and radiation. I had a friend go through all of this too, so I'm rooting for u man! I hope these games' successes give you that push to say "hell yeah it was worth it" as you bust a Cpt. Morgan stance :)

    I would do it... but little increments, not all at once. I'm not sure I even noticed a difference, but that's probably a good thing...

    Same. I haven't upgraded and am a little afraid to since I like the feel of it.

    I haven't upgraded those either and I don't want to permanently mess up my upgrades.

    Would downgrading be a possibility in an update? An option to switch between unlocked upgrade levels? That would be perfect.

    Good advice, collider. Those were the last two stats I maxed out. At first I wished I could take it back but you get used to it after a while. Now I don't have to worry about upgrading anything and can buy all the juice I could ever need with the leftover cash from runs. Right now I've got close to 2,000 juice saved up. I use every boost available every run and can make it to space about 1 out of 3 runs.

    Pretty sure I saw this game on a Youtubers channel. Did the Youtube promotion help?

    I guess once u buttered up you unlock these extra coins. Also great idea to have a butterscotch ID list of the members here, though I've read that 50 is the max one can have.

    Any idea if there is a Speedrun update of sorts coming up? That would seriously kick ass!

    Btw, my id is Massulan in case someone wants to add me who hasn't already.

    Another suggestion, make the pause button hit box a bit bigger, sometimes I gots to scratch my nose, nomsayin'.

    Also regarding the butterscotch id's maybe list the Id and where u are from and what age you are, it can add to the competition if you are familiar with the person.

    Massulan, Belgium, '84. (Live in Indonesia though)

    I'm working my way up, just been going single file down the line for every upgrade and saving juice to do exactly what you're doing. The few times I maxed out my juice runs I did pretty ok (only half way up the boost levels), I figure once I'm maxed I'll have a fighting chance. I saw your stats on the friend page and got inspired :)

    I'll admit I was dubious about the signing up thing at first, but I actually love this system. If gamecentre was half as good as butterscotch system it'll be brilliant.

    I think this the first game I've come across that allows a way to gift iaps too.

    @ineptidude I've sent you a request under my name, I can't pm you until it's accepted so I'm prob too late but just wanted to say it's a very generous thing to do.

    I am getting minutely better at this each day….frustrating, but addictive at the same time.

    Awesome!

    I tried playing on my iPhone 5 today and I must say, I do much better in the iPad. I don't know if it's just because I'm not used to it on the smaller screen or what. I'll tell ya one thing, trying to fly that weaponless (yeah, not a real word, I know) escape pod around is a nightmare! Lol.

    I also really like the Butterscotch ID system. I got extra fuel for Flop Rocket by completing a goal in Roid Rampage. Pretty cool.

    By the way, it's a close fight between this and Prison Life RPG for game of the week. If you haven't voted yet, make sure you do before Friday morning!

    PS - In case you missed it, some of the TA crew met up with the BS brothers at GDC and posted a hillarious hands-on video of their upcoming survival/adventure game Crashlands.

    bloody autocorrect, it did that on a few names and thought I'd corrected them all, will fix it now, thanks.
