    Practice and luck, mainly :) And don’t hesitate to use a heart AND then a Final Blast, if you’re close to 5,000.

    Fly down the middle (top and bottom can trap you) and get in a mindset of pure survival, not going out of your way for coins or tokens. Get vehicles, though: they are like an extra life. Wear a bright-colored, big suit (like the piggy bank jetpack) that’s easy to see, but keep your eyes on the right side of the screen, not on Barry.

    I did all the achievements before there were gadgets, but some gadgets may help:

    * Ice and bouncing ball can gain you a little extra distance, kind of like a Final Blast (which you can best use at the END of the bouncing/ice sliding).

    * If missiles kill you a lot, there are gadgets to help.

    * Token Gift, Magnetic Tokens and especially Lucky Last all increase your odds of winning a Final Blast or extra life at the end.

    I think I might try the bouncy ball and Lucky Last, with a Final Blast and extra life purchased and ready to use as well (if you’ve gotten far enough to be worth spending them). First use the extra life: wait until after the ball breaks and you’re sliding to a stop, then come back to life. When you die again, wait again for the ball to break and you’re sliding to a stop, then use a Final Blast. After that, your token spins might get you even farther.

    for the lazy out there...cant wait for the update to drop, why has toucharcade not front paged this!

    ANOTHER HUGE UPDATE: FLASH THE DOG, DJ HEADPHONES WITH REMIXED THEME SONG, EVEN MORE GADGETS!

    Get ready for the newest member of the Barry Steakfries family... Flash the dog!

    Legitimate Research had no idea when they created the latest and greatest gadgets that one of them would turn out to be Barry's new best friend!

    Flash runs alongside, helping you by collecting coins, tokens and more! That is when he isn't busy jumping on scientists and sniffing the ground. Legitimate Research even modified Barry's vehicles to include Flash, such as a sidecar for the Bad As Hog, his own gravity suit and more.

    We also introduce the DJ headphones to the shop, which swaps the regular theme music to an intense techno remix!

    NEW GADGETS:

    Flash:
    Barry's best friend, Flash helps you collect coins and more!

    Dezapinator:
    Zappers are prone to failure and sometimes fizzle out.

    Turbo Boost:
    A crazy flying contraption that drops boost rings, flinging you forwards in a destructive explosion!

    NEW SHOP ITEMS:

    DJ Headphones:
    Slip on these bad boys and turn the volume up high!

    Love this update. The combo of the dog and headphones really helps breathe new life into the game.

    Glad you guys are digging it so far!

    We had HEAPS of fun making the trailer too. All of the dogs belong to Halfbrick employees (my awesome dog is in there), and we spent a whole day driving around to everyone's house and playing around with the dogs on camera.

    One of the dogs is actually named Flash as well, which is where we ended up getting Barry's dogs name from!

    Yeah I LOVE the new gadgets...thanks for all of the awesome updates, Muscat! Amazing how much content has been added since release; I still remember getting this game on day 1, when the app was still 99c. Never regretted that decision, and never will. Paying a buck to Halfbrick was the least I could do ;)
