    Does anyone know how to get the achievement Germaphobe? I have to Fly at least 2000M with the traditional jetpack, the Top hat and the classy suit. I already flew more than 2000M with this costumes but still cant get this. Anyone knows how to get this?

    That's not Germaphobe, you described the Class Act achievement.
    (Fly 1KM, sporting the Top Hat, Classy Suit and Traditional Jetpack)

    To get Germaphobe you need to fly 2KM without touching coins, scientists or tokens. (And by extension vehicles, though they aren't specifically mentioned)

    Oh thanks. I tried this like 200 times :D. Then the german translation is just not correct. The description of the german version say: Fly 2 KM with top hat, classy suit and traditional jetpack.

    This is perhaps the best game I've played since the French removed the monarchy from it's shores.

    Love this game. Just finished all the missions.

    I found a little spelling error though. After reclaiming the "unique token" the text says: "You will receive a badge at the AND of the next game" or something like that. The "and" should be "end" I think :)

    My friend has a crappy ass android phone and wants to know if you will bring this game to the android platform as well. Any plans for that?

    Definately something wrong with coin stash on older devices (at least on my iPod Touch 2G). Just finished a couple of games and had around 1,200 coins. I waited until after the slot machine spin. And went to the main screen that told me how many coins I had, etc.

    Then I quit the game via the home button, figuring that if I got to that summary screen/menu that it should have saved by that point. Went back in and was at 596 coins.

    Going to have to do some experimentation to see how to get around this. I also know that I surely didn't get more than 600 coins in my last game so that means it doesn't even save properly between games (although the coin total on the screen goes up, it's not saving that progress to my device, it seems).

    Very frustrating.

    EDIT: Just tried exiting mid-game and surprisingly, it "resumes" your game where you left off BUT THE COINS ARE STILL GONE from your previous run. Looks like until this is fixed the only thing I can do is play for sessions that are long enough to earn enough coins to purchase what I want (the purchases don't go away, although setting them to "equipped" sometimes does).

    Hope this gets fixed as it's ruining my experience for what should be an excellent game.

    I too am having issues with losing coins. I am on a 2nd Generation iPod Touch. The funny thing is that instead of just losing coins, sometimes, the game buys things for me. Once it was a jetpack, and a few times it was headstarts, or blasts.

    One question I beat the game and got the emblem when I started over. The badge says "65 Great Badge of Inspiration" Does that number mean anything, or is that just the name?

    It's like a Pokedex number for your badge.

    Anyone know if the badge you get is purely random?

    So, now that we know that the jetpacks aren't purely cosmetic, any opinions as to which is best? Loving the look of the rainbow jetpack and also really like the bubblegun, but finding it hard to notice any differences between them.

    I know the dev said that the steam one was suppose to handle differently, but I didn't really notice anything different to it. If there is a difference, it's pretty darn subtle. It might be nice if some of them had more substantially different characteristics. Or maybe it wouldn't be good. Not really sure. The game is fun as is. I like setting those scientists on fire with the classic. ;) Sorry, scientists everywhere. :)

    Has anyone experienced crashes while playing? I've run into quite a few and it seems that they always happen after a game in which I've completed a mission, also erasing any progress earned in that game. I'm playing on an iPhone 4 with the latest version of iOS, BTW.

    I've noticed that the bubble one has a little slow acceleration than the default. Also, the "classic" jetpack has really good vertical movement, so it's useful for dodging things.

    Props to HB for bringing us (IMO) the best endless running game! I can't stop playing it!

    To devs if you check the thread :
    When you pause the game and then want to resume it, you need to tap twice, one time to resume and another one to restart the jetpack to fly again. It would be great to fix this to one tap in a future update ;)

    I noticed a mistake in the text translation of the mission where you need to touch 50 red lights, dunno for the other languages but in French, the mission says to touch the lights in ONE game, which is false, i did it with several retries, and i don't think touching 50 light is possible :)

    I apologize if all of this has already been posted.
