    That part gave me trouble every single run (if I got that far). Luckily, there are some collapsing blocks in the lava to give you some help.

    Maps

    I think you guys could seriously make some money selling 2-packs of maps for $1 each. Maybe you could even make the overworld map scroll over to reveal them. I could consider them a great deal, and so would most other people.

    As long as they're challenging enough, of course. Maybe you should make "adventure" map packs which adds maps with story elements, and add "challenge" map packs which add maps that are extremely challenging like the Skull map. I'd get both anyways, but this would appeal the most to both types of consumers.

    As each day goes by it will be harder and harder for me to get the crown.

    I should just give up now. :(

    Ultimate ultimate victory.

    By the way, I thought there was a hat for getting #1 for all the local scores for all of the levels? I'm pretty sure I've done that, but I don't see any new hats.

    Scratch that, I found which map I didn't have a #1 local score for, and beat it. Getting 24 #1 local high scores gets you the fiesta cap. I'll stick with my skull cap, thanks.

    Yeah, if you beat the Gold Skull map, the skull cap is unlocked. It only costs 1g!

    Any tips on getting over the local 7500 highscore on golden skull? Is it hidden coins gems or just speed?

    Yeah, there are 5 dastardly hidden gems in the map (and two less hidden gems). Brentwombie describes them here:

    "4. Towards the end, after 2 sets of 4 hanging skulls, there is a very long gap. If you wait till you are about to hit the magma after the first jump, then use a rocket boost, you can grab 5 jewels."

    The description is a bit confusing, but I figured out what he was talking about with some trial and error.

    Towards the end of the map, after the first and second places that require rocket boots (the long stretches of magma with an arc of coins and a gem), and after the "chimney," there's a place where you need to use your hook to climb an ascending ceiling (rather than the usual stalactites). There's a bunch of hanging skulls here - maybe 5 or 6, I forget. Once you reach this point, let yourself drop down, using your rocket boots right before you hit the magma. There should be 5 bonus gems here.

    Those are the dastardly gems. In addition to that, there are two less hidden gems right before the very end of the map. When you reach the section with the really thick wall, you can use your rocket boots to boost up and grab two gems. However, I don't think there's a way to get these gems AND the five dastardly gems, as both require an extra rocket boots boost, and there are three mandatory boot jumps already.

    I hope this helps! Good luck! Just don't beat my #1 score! :p

    Yesterday i finally got the Crown :p I played the Bronze Wimpy Level.

    BTW, "qpawn" is taking the leadearboards very seriously! And of course he must be an excellent player (as he is the first in almost every level).

    I beat his score just before i went to sleep (like midnight here in Brazil), and when i woke up (6:00am) he had already beaten my score again :p He must watch the leaderboards very often :p

    For me it's over, i just wanted the crown and got it! Looking his score (just 1 point ahead of me), i believe it isnt near the ideal / perfect score... when i was playing there was room for improvement, even if when i got the top score.

    All the praise for Hook Champ has already been stated. But the last level for the Bull Idol was a thing of beauty. That level's design is SOO well made..I played it hundreds of times (with fully upgraded rope/hook) without beating it. What's even crazier is that I never got tired or truly frustrated, the game gives you all the fair and balanced odds required, it comes down to 'skill' - precision and timing!

    Just wanted to add my praise of the game to the thread here, infact it motivated me to join the forums since I usually spend most of my time moderating other forums :p

    The games difficulty is a thing of beauty for me. I'm up to the Golden Skull level but even then that was kind of a fluke. On Silver Skull, I kept accidently rocketboosting up to the top of the screen but I was able to run over the top and shotgun the ghost until I dropped down at the magma bit. xD
    The level design is absolutely amazing and really I can't wait for more content. This game is worth a hell of a lot more than the Ā£0.59 I paid :p

    There is one bug that I don't think has been shown or mentioned in the thread, there was one level that when I was retrying, I was able to hook before lifting the treasure...sounds weird, I know...anyways, screenshot's provided.

    I think it was the copper skull level, can't remember :\

    It's just a pity that I'll never be able to get a crown since the level of play on the online leaderboards is just mindblowing... so in reference to that, will the scoreboards ever be reset?

    Hey Kepa,

    I don't know how the system is set up, but what are the chances of some sort of "friend" list / tab for the high scores? With all these high rollers like McChikun, sometimes it's fun just to be able to track a couple friends for some friendly competition without having to worry about being the best, around.

    Are scores even tracked beyond 20? I thought at some point it told me I was #34 on the global list one some level.

    That said, there are tons of better ways to spend time continuing supporting the game. I look forward to seeing how you push the levels and be more creative!
