    I just nailed a round of 1,157! Thanks for the encouragement earlier, Ben. Consider me entered. ;)

    I have to admit, though, the pop up ads are kind of obnoxious. The Bing one is borked. When it pops up, it turns my whole screen purple and takes forever to go away. While it's on the screen, you can't acknowledge any buttons either. It's going to turn a lot of people off. You may want to consider changing it or getting rid of it altogether. I'm just glad I've got the ad-free premium version. I've included a screenshot below to show you what I'm talking about.

    That score is one the highest ones out there right now!

    We agree with you guys on the ad. We never used ads before either, so this was our first venture in this. When we first put them in, those ones barely showed up, but then after we released it, we realized they were always showing up. Like drelbs said you can tap the side to bypass.

    We're sure this leaves negative impressions with people :(. And we're a bit embarrassed that it is pretty problematic now. Sorry everyone!

    But so you know, we've already fixed it .. it is just dependent on Apple now to approve it!

    I actually floated a test build of it to Devilishly Good. He would be able to confirm that craptastic ad has been adjusted (we moved it to the side where it seems to have no issues).

    ...yup, I can confirm that...the ads are no longer in the way at all so you can easily see your end of game stats

    ...another cool thing is a running ticker tape that shows the latest scores submitted...don't worry it's not on the actual gameplay screen so it's not in the way at all

    Sorry to bring it up again. I didn't realize that you addressed the ads earlier.

    Thanks for fixing it, though.

    No problem on both things. I think the way that ad was working before was not acceptable, so I can understand why people complained about it. and which is why we modified it. Completely fair to bring up!

    I regret that I can't get that update out there now so other people will have the fix!

    Good Score!!

    You're close. You've already qualified for the $10 gift card. Just remember to shoot more and watch for the special balls!

    Awesome Job!!

    Looks like people are starting to get some good scores! Nice!

    Have you figured out that filling that Power Ball meter in the top center screen with 3 Power Balls gets you X2 points for 10 seconds? The other key is learning how to work the Atom Ball to maximize your points! And as Hermanator says .. you gots to shoot fast! Good luck!

    We'll look in a way to try and get scores that don't post reposted. Maybe we'll wait for a server reply validating the score went thru, and if it didn't, we'll repost later.

    Sweet!

    Nice job! Glad to see you got there!

    I'll post what we got for people's scores soon! In the meantime ... there's still a couple more days left, so people can enter! It's free and with a few games, you should at least be able to hit the 500+ mark :D!
