    The times i've seen it handed out was directly from Halfbrick. The two I've seen handed out were for the first people to really play this game hardcore. I was close to being in the same bracket as them at the start but didn't quite make it :(

    The Golden Top Hat is a secret item which can only be gifted to players by Halfbrick. We've run competitions on Facebook and Twitter where that was the prize!

    Yep. Its begun. It's interesting, I don't think I would like the game so much if it weren't for the really interesting missions. If it had no missions I would delete it pretty quick. But, as it is with the awesome controls etc. I am playing quite a bit.

    Yep. That is EXACTLY what got me. When I first saw the Badges, I couldn't imagine anyone crazy or bored enough to complete the game.

    But then, I have NEVER seen the mastery of mission building that I found in JJ. They're all just difficult enough yet just easy enough. I shudder to think of how much time I've lost to this ridiculously simple game...;):D

    So how does anyone get 30,000? And is that the end of the game?

    Yea same here! I collected 69 coins and disn't win any spins I had and no achievement. All I got was 138 coins. I hate to say it bur Half-Brick dropped the ball here. And I think we're SOL PallaZ.

    Wow, you created an account to post about Halfbrick dropping the ball. Sad.

    Besides, 138 coins is not 69, last I checked. The achievement works if you get thr right amount of coins.

    I'd like to know too :rolleyes:

    Anyways, Halfbrick, this game seems to force you to die (yes, literally) after say 8-10km? You start going at insane speeds and your character cannot maneuver fast enough to avoid the zappers. I know this is a great game but its quite frustrating to not be able to survive long, even with Gravity Belt and Super Sneakers on.
    Another example of this is vehicles. Self-Explanatory. We all know you can't survive for long in vehicles.
    This then makes JJ a game of chance, especially with the 10+ spins you're going to get.

    Idk, just a thought.

    The trick, as far as I know, is to survive inside vihicles as long as possible. Mastering them allows you to fly pretty far, there is this guy really good with most vihicles, his best run was around 17000m.

    Was just curious to know if there are going to be any more limited run items or competitions, specifically on the PS VITA. Thanks.

    Didn't crash for me, iPod Touch 5, up to date.

    $5 for the new vehicle, and that's listed as an introductory price. I'm going to wait for some reactions on the board before I visit it; of course, if I count the hours I've put into this game in the past, I certainly owe them $5. I just haven't launched this in the past 6 months.

    Also, the very expensive 'random' outfits are puzzling.

    Wait 4 days to get it for free. That's what it says in my version.

    Great! Another great game ruined by in game ads, that you can't disable. Why not make this a feature if you are gonna plague the game with ads.

    Yes, isn't it a paid game? There shouldn't be any ads! At all!
