    Ok, I've gotten 59% through the stone hat level. Any tips? I use Gunny with the tripple barrel, I'm going to upgrade it to the 4 shot, maybe that will help.

    Have you beat all the normal levels (all except skull & rat)? You unlock them in the store after you complete the game

    Yeah, you definitely need all four shots. I don't think it's possible with only three.

    i would say so because it allows you to explore the levels and find all of the secrets without being chased by the ghost. Hes the only one i play with really. I suppose it comes down to how good you are because he will help the playes tht struggle a little.

    Man, I freakin spent like 45 minutes in bed last night trying to beat the stone hat and just couldn't do it, I would get to the spot where there's magma on the floor and ceiling and would die. Then, I get to work this morning and have to take a dump, pull out Hook Champ, beat it first try... :confused: :p

    So yeah I beat it, but my score is WAY below Kepa's developer score. I must be missing a ton of gems. I grab the 4 up top near the start, and then the two below the area where you can crash through the blocks. And of course the coins in the last corridor. Where am I missing some?

    Wow this kicks serious ass. I never gave much attention to it at first from screenshots, but after playing it it's one of my favorite games now. The retro style is done so well, and the dialogue is very amusing.

    I'm stuck at the gold bull idol. Any tips?

    I tried a few tricks to resolve any memory issues before playing Hook Champ but none of them worked. My device is freshly wiped so the memory usage should be pretty minimal anyway. Hope Rocketcat can rush out an urgent update to fix it like the Minigore team did when they messed up a release.

    i'd suggest it might be openfeint. turn off the alert notifications for the app and see if that helps a bit.

    These levels are so harsh, someone should put together a big mess of merged screenshots to map out the entire levels so we can see where everything is, so hard to navigate... Especially the second one, haven't unlocked the last two.

    I completed the second Hat level just by hooking randomly and firing off my rocket boots whenever I felt like I had no idea where to go. It's not the best way to complete the level, or the highest scoring, but it'll do if you just want to unlock the next level.

    Did you use Hookbot? That level is almost unplayable with anyone else.

    We're trying to pinpoint the problem still. What's really making things difficult is that not everyone is having this problem. Please send me a private message with as much detail about what level you're on, what character, when the lag started, what you're doing in the level, what hardware you're using, is it jailbroken, what OS you're using, and any other misc info if you're having lag issues. We're stumped for now.

    I usually do that level with Gunny, actually. Though Hookbot is the best character if you want all the loot. I was okay with having the bot be good at 2 levels out of 31.
