    Sounds like great stuff, Kepa.

    Thanks for all the info and all the planned update content. This game truly rules.

    Looks like someone has used the glitch again as the #1 time for Golden Bull is.. 4.43 seconds.

    I think its totally impossible to get the crown. I've managed to get 30 global on one level, but NO way to get number 1. . . . . .

    So hard

    I managed a #17 Global the first time I reached #1 Local on Golden Skull... and without actually *trying* for speed I somehow managed a #3 Global (since pushed down at least to #10) on Golden Frog.

    its possible to still get a Crown, I got #2 Global on Silver Skull last night. If i can drop my time down like 2 seconds I think I could get #1. I haven't even beat the last level yet just been doing speed runs heh.

    So when the weekly high scores make getting crowns easier and the all time high scores give fancier crowns, will people who already have crowns for #1 global scores prior to the update to weekly automatically get fancy crowns or will they have to obtain an all time #1 global score again?

    Does anyone else find the length of the death really annoying? It feels just a little too long, is there any possibility of an option to turn it off? Or to choose the speed or something.

    Is anyone else curious as to how Ryan Petrich got a time of 1:04.17 on golden skull? I smell a rat.

    I can get #1 still on a couple of the early levels in my no-scores-uploaded dev version. Most of the levels now have basically been taking over by a handful of people refining their scores, competing with that tiny group of people until their scores are really high. It's pretty unlikely to get a crown now, I have to admit.

    They'll have to obtain an all time #1 score again. Good luck in advance! We'll probably put this in update 3, where there's at least a new level (and maybe new character) to help out with this.

    This is the first time I've heard this be suggested. We're probably going to shave off time the other way, by adding in an option for update 2 that lets you skip the level-intro dialogue. That should help with retry speeds. Oh, also helping with retry speeds: A Retry Level button in the pause menu.

    There's going to be a sale when the update hits. 1 dollar off, so the game will be 2 dollars for a short time. That's the lowest it's ever going to get, so hopefully this will help people that don't find 3 dollars affordable.

    Every once in awhile something like this happens. We investigate it, then we usually strike the person from the record.

    Someone asked above if we submitted the game yet. To reiterate, we submitted it to Apple. It's in their hands now as to when the update actually shows up on the App Store.

    This Ryan Petrich guy is obviously cheating:

    1st place Bronze Wimpy: 0:04.42(?!)
    1st place Silver Wimpy: 0:03.55(?!)
    1st place Stone Frog: 0:08.23
    1st place Bronze Frog: 1:20.88
    1st place Silver Frog: 2:04.27
    1st place Gold Frog: 2:09.65
    1st place Gold Skull: 1:04.17

    And where did he get that PIMP HAT!!

    Ha, that saves us having to actually investigate whether his scores were valid or not. We'll just ban him from the scoreboards.

    The PIMP HAT is in Update 1. It's a fairly easy unlock, actually.

    I think there may be a problem with my game, I can't connect to the high score boards anymore, it always says there is no connection, even when there is.

    I'm going to go try and find that mysterious pimp hat now...

    Isn't Ryan Petrich a fellow beta tester, and also a fairly well known iPhone app developer? Is he hacking or just using bugs?

    The beta of update 1 is great, can't wait for Apple to approve the full thing though.

    It's working fine for me... I'll check it out, though.

    We know how he's doing it, but the only recourse is really to just ban whoever does it.

    It's all in Apple's hands now, as to how fast they approve the update. I look forward to having people to send challenges to.
