    Several hours spent with the game and I have to say it's absolutely amazing - a console-like experience (with a very Nintendo feel) that just oozes quality.

    Thanks for the developers for such a great game and for the prompt update!

    Funny you should say that. I totally get an old school SEGA vibe from the game.

    Has anyone reached the final battle? Maybe I just suck but I'm finding it impossible. I must have attempted it over 30 times and I'm ready to give up now through frustration.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the game though, until I got to this point.

    Wind Power

    After loving and finding all collectibles in world one, the wind power is proving increasingly frustrating. For one, it's not unusual for the game to confuse use of wind with simply using the screen to move around. Second, and maybe I'm just an idiot, but I've tried for 30 minutes to use the wind in the first level of the second world to open the very first gate. It simply spins, resets, and doesn't open the gate. I'm assuming it isn't spinning enough, but I'm doing exactly as the sign indicates. Any advice?

    Do you mean the spinning blue propellers? You will have to use the wind power 3 times in succession to activate them before they reset.

    If someone commented on this already and I missed then apologies..... How come when you die and then restart at a checkpoint, all the items you found are gone? Like if I had fount the H,E, and R in HEROKI, even though I restart at the checkpoint, I have to go back and find them all.

    Other than that, this is an unbelievable game. Definitely not a "pick up and play" for 5 min type of game and there are not enough good things I can say about how much I have been enjoying.

    You can buy the safe from the shop and it will save all the collectibles you have found even if you die or quit the level before completion.

    Allow me clear a few struggles here :)

    Power of Wind
    To activate the wind-switches: It's best you draw loops over the propeller. You can draw multiple loops before the meter runs out -- so you don't have to draw straight lines only :)

    Collectibles
    Hmm that's interessting. All the collectibles should be saved by a checkpoint no matter if you got the safe or not - Good find! I'll pass this along the team as a bug. We'll fix this in the updated version. For now, it's best to buy the safe to bypass this bug. *EDIT* @Jpgold: I just tested this on my iPhone 6 and it seems to be working fine here. In what level did this occur and on what device are you playing?

    Final Battle:
    Here are some tips as I don't want to spoil too much:
    - Make sure you are prepared with power-ups in your inventory, shield, pies etc. Do not use the boxes as an attack as Vapor will easily dodge those.
    - During his smok attack, make sure you use the power of wind quickly and dodge his attacks. Strike when he's vulnerable after his attack
    - Study his pattern carefully, you'll win.. for sure! ;)

    I've been doing all that. The problem is that
    he keeps killing me while I am attempting to catch, throw, eat the pie. It seems unfair that he can attack while struggling to get more health.

    That's a good point. Perhaps we can tweak the difficulty a bit if more people are having the same problem.

    Perhaps this might help you regarding Vapor's pattern:

    Stage 1:
    1. Single Dash attack - Attack when he's vulnerable with the Bash or Dash attack.
    2. Smog + Dash - Quickly swipe away the gas, dodge his dash attack and attack his vulnerable state described above.
    3. Single charge Ball attack - Dodge this attack just before he fires his shot.
    Stage 2:
    1. 3x Dash attack - Attack when he laughs with the Bash or Dash attack.
    2. Smog + 3x Dash attack - Quickly swipe away the gas with the power of wind, dodge his multiple dash attacks and attack when he laughs
    3. Tripple charge ball attack - Dodge this salvo just before he fires his shots and keep dodging.

    The reason why we made the endbattle quite challenging is because we wanted to make it real rewarding once you've defeated him. Again, I'm pretty confident you will!

    I can get past stage 1 without too much trouble but stage 2 is where I have a problem. there's just too much going on while attempting to eat the pie, and something kills me every time.

    I'll have another attempt tonight to see if I can do it. :)

    I urge anyone that is loving this game to go to the AppStore and rate it accordingly. There is too many of "those" people giving it a 1 star score just because it won't start on their device. Currently it is sitting there with a score of 2 and half stars which is just a gross injustice. Cmon people go and give it what it deserves!!

    I wouldn't worry about that for too long. It's already at 3 and a half stars for all versions and 4 stars for this current one. :) The thing I don't get is...are there seriously that many people with iPad minis in the States that were trying to play Heroki? o_O You're right though, I absolutely despise those 1 star reviews.

    I'm loving this game so far. But every time I open it I begin from the tutorial. I even completed the tutorial, got into the first quest and went to the main menu and enabled iCloud saving.

    Any suggestions?

    This is a great game that is insanely polished. Damn.
    Can anyone confirm if you play as the green guy? I swear in a trailer it looked so.
