    Thanks Guise! There really is some catching to do with those top scores. :D

    Ah ok grits, that sounds reasonable. Playing on iPad i assume that it would be even bigger concern to some people, i'll take a look at it.

    That ball slipping out of the circle is completely intentional, i found that if you fall fast down to the circle, and have the gravity on already, you'll just slip fast through, but if you snap the gravity on closer to the middle of the circle it will more likely brake the player enough to hold on.
    So i thought it adds a bit more to the learning the technique type of playing. :)

    Ah yeah, that makes sense. Have you thought of expanding checkpoint mode? I could imagine some deviously difficult points.

    I think it was Slamraman that suggested a masochist mode for the game :D
    I have some great plans for adding more interactive difficult stuff, but still a bit unsure will i land those on the next "episode".
    Now i'm just trying to concentrate on the fixes for update.
    Many of them thanks to you. :)

    I only played a bit yesterday but noticed that checking the individual jump scores took me to Game Center, where the only leaderboards showing were for Checkpoint and Mini modes. Couldn't seem to access the new leaderboards straight from the GC app, either. I'll check again later today.

    I tried to check the codes for the Game Center stuff, but i really can't find anything wrong,
    or there's not much more for me to do since i can only open the leaderboards.
    Have to do a double check, if there could be something found.
    Thanks for letting me know!

    grits: serious competition is always welcome, nice to know that you spread the word. :)

    Wow I just got a really lucky shot on high jump. Don't think I'll ever be beating that but who knows. Maybe!

    Passed it :). I've adapted a new method but it's tricky, there's so many hidden goodies in this great game mechanic.
    Still trying to catch up in the diving and long jump though... This is getting harder and harder each new high score :)

    Riku: Regarding Game Center issues, I too have random issues with the new leaderboards (i.e. all but the first 2) and it started when I updated to IOS9. Basically they occasionally stop working: Entering them from within the game would crash, entering them from Game Center native app would show 'no data' and sometimes they just don't show at all, and then eventually they return to work, it's pretty random. It seems more like a GameCenter issue than yours especially since it has problems also in the game center app, so I am not sure what you can do since I don't even know how to reproduce it consistently...

    grits and maynoam, i thought i did pretty ok there but... Those are crazy!

    Glad you wrote such a precise explanation maynoam, it really helps a lot on solving the mystery!
    So far i made some checks/inits before loading leaderboards and initialising the Game Center,
    removed some unnecessary Game Center loads and made a "Sync Game Center" button to the intro screen.

    Maybe it really is Game Center's problem, but this way i get to sleep a bit easier. :D

    Next stop is to update all software in hopes for fixes and more iOS 9 friendly stuff.

    edit: Thanks grits for letting me know! I need to make a few tests now on my devices. Fingers crossed.

    Is it just a high score chaser? Or are there levels? And does it need wifi. Might buy

    There are three main modes. It's actually enough to keep you busy for a while. The main goal is to improve your skill along with your score. Both are very rewarding and easily worth $.99 haha

    Thers a mode with checkpoints, and the aim is to hit all the nodes. Then thers an endless mode, self-explanatory, the a third mode which you direct the ball in various directions to get the highest score. Thers also a cool little mini game. I've played offline so wifi not necessary.

    Easily worth the asking price.
