    Guess you never saw my bad Photoshops with the shopkeeper as the main character. Great minds eh?

    nope, could you repost them?
    however, as a character, I think that he now has enough backstory or motivation to want to get the idols

    jake: for adventure
    gunny: cash
    HB: programmed to
    zelle: hired by gunny


    shopkeeper: he seems to know quite a lot about the ancients, and has expressed an interest in wanting to use his inventions in the caves, hookbot worked well didn't he? why won't his other inventions?
    maybe he is a descendent of the ancients? he knew about the never seen before golden idol and has a map leading to a pocket dimention that the ancients presumably built.

    maybe gunny could look after the shop when he is in the tombs?

    (in fact, the shopkeeper, rocketcat, and wallmaster are the only characters with speaking parts that are not playable...)


    kepa, as a tribute to qpawn, do you think you could put him in as a playable character or give him a speaking part? (maybe he could run the shop instead of the shopkeeper when the shopkeeper is gone?)

    I think his motivation should be the perverse pleasure he derives from skimming very, very close to the lava. He looks like the type.

    they are good photoshops!
    it looks like he really is there :p

    well, it would explain why he stocks hotpants...


    (anyone agree that qpawn should be a character or at least have a cameo?)

    Two thing I noticed about this image:

    1. It couldn't have been taken directly from his phone - that's impossible and would have most likely been caught by someone at Apple.

    2. The image is in .jpg format, though all iPhone screenshots use .png. That makes it more likely that it was altered on Photoshop rather than being just a screenshot from the game.

    Also, since the file uploader qpawn used supports .png images, why would he take the trouble of resaving it as a .jpg?

    Wow! Why didn't I buy this game earlier, It is amazing! Simple graphics, but damn amazing. Controls weren't hard to get used to either.

    Update 3.5 consuming all time. We're making inroads to the performance bug. It's super annoying.

    Can't do a mapmaker for Hook Champ, sadly. There's several reasons for this, but I guess the simplest one is that we should probably stop adding HUGE new features because it hurts us to do so. Hell, I seem to recall that Rope N Fly made a sequel to even just add OpenFeint support.

    That said, we're totally going to spend one more update putting in a huge new feature (The Dueling System revamp for Challenges).

    That used to happen to me; especially on Stone Bull. One thing I did (and still do at times) is save a rocket boost. Then I just fire the boots right at the end to make sure I don't fall in.

    The first bull level sucks! Got to 99% complete 4 times... I have 2 or 3 rocket boosts and can hit the lava once and be saved... Can't do it :S

    Finally beat it, got the top local score also :p

    Okay so I recently got this and have been trying to rank on the leaderboards. I off and on checked this thread for news for a while and I think I read something about the leaderboards resetting weekly on mondays? Something like that. Perhaps I am mad. Just curious because I have a hard time believing there are only 3 people in Phoenix metro area playing this game.

    These lava levels ruined the game in my opinion, impossible :S. I guess I get to nervous of falling in and fall in anyway... The levels are sooo long to, just got to 97% complete on the 3rd volcano one. ARGH!
