    I don't know how, but this is awesome - if it has anything to do with anyone here, thanks :)

    I noticed that earlier and it made me smile. Well done. :)

    I'd say it's well deserved for how you've supported Jack B. Nimble with updates since launch. I think the game has around 3 times the content it had at launch, with more on the way. Great stuff. I've rated the game 5 stars on App Store and kindly remind others to update their ratings/reviews as they effectively are reset with each update.

    Nice to see a supportive dev getting their due credit from the store! It's nice coming back to the thread to see what niblets keep getting dropped too. Good stuff.

    And dang Andy!!!! Nice scoreboard.

    There's going to be a wee secret character in the next update...

    Regarding Jack, work is coming along - the water level and one of the new characters are close to completed, and I know Barry is making a new track for the water level at the moment :)

    Here's a mockup of the new character screen, and also a teaser for one of the new characters in the next update, "Jill"!

    Dude, I simply cannot commend you enough for fleshing this bad little boy out so much. In its current state, Jack B. Nimble's already one of the best runners on the App Store (I'll say it again...this is right up there with Canabalt) and you're just taking it to awesome new heights.

    This game certainly takes one back to the early days. Love the art style and basic mechanics which is really all you need.

    Hey guys, thanks for the kind words - you're making me feel that all of this is worth it.

    Here's a bit of progress - as you can see, the new menu is working now... (excuse the mouse, I had to record on PC).

    If any of you feel like helping out, I could do with some app reviews - your honest opinions of course :D

    Oh, and if you have any feedback and feature requests, I'd be happy to take them into account in the next update :)

    Thank you so much!
    I went to your Twitter link and was surprized to see that a code you posted a day ago was still working!
    I redeemed the one staring with KWF (I think)

    Cute game. Fun pixel madness!
    I like this runner. I would have apreciated some instructions or reason for the whip. My daughter watched and I complained about it and she said... " maybe the light posts?" LOL

    Love that the weather can be turned off! It,s a good time waster and even better high score chaser.

    Thanks again for the code!

    I am so sorry, but Apple/itunes will not allow someone to leave a review/feedback if they have used a promo code.

    Otherwise.... Glowing 5 star review!

    Haha, I didn't know this! Well glad you enjoyed it anyway - the update shouldn't take too long, I'm still working on the new level and working on some performance fixes.

    Be sure to tell your friends ;)

    The 4.0 update should be out towards the end of the month - until then here's Jill in action :)
