    It is recommended to have/get and use when needed :
    - head start (optional)
    - quick revive
    - final blast
    - tokens
    - luck :)

    So I just absolutely demolished my old high score of about 3,800. I now sit at number fifteen on the leader board at 6,922. Man that was a crazy run! No head start either.

    SIDENOTE: I'm also having some of my achievements not unlocking in Game Center. More specifically: Toastie, Fuzzy Locks, and James Who? have not unlocked on Game Center. I haven't earned Angry Wings yet so I don't know if that one will have an issue as well.

    The rainbow jetpack benefit!

    I know what's the rainbow jet pack benefit. I guess you all still don't know. When using rainbow jetpack, those scientist won't run away from you!

    love the game I recently lost 11 thousand coins when the game crashed bummer. im currently like 32 on the ranking with 6500 XD

    just purchased the coin counterfeiter i figured after 5 hours of playing you earned another dollar and now I can pick up the golden vehicles easier. although I probably should have done this before i bought all the jetpacks

    Great game. I've played it pretty much non stop since I picked it up an hour after being released on the app store, and it's the first thing I do when I wake up and roll over in bed and pick up my iPad.

    I've got two suggestions for the devs:

    I think the gravity suit is a tad bit slow. The responsiveness isn't quite on par with the great control of the other vehicles. I consistently groan when I get the gravity suit because I never get as far as I do with the others. I think making the turns just a bit faster would improve it alot.

    I think it would be nice to have a countdown after un-pausing the game. Lightly darken the screen with the countdown before jumping right back in. I find that I usually crash pretty quickly after unpausing and I think this would help.

    Other then that, fantastic job! I've already purchased everything and have gotten all of the achievements, so now I just save to get utilities to max my high score. I'm eagerly waiting the next update!

    Holy shit I'd absolutely love a three second countdown or so after unpausing.

    +1 to this idea!

    Also what will Halfbrick work on next? Maybe a re-make of Fruit Ninja? Or another Barry Steakfries game? I thought a space invaders or what I would call Steak vs Fries would be cool :p The Steaks could be the invaders and Barry could be shooting fires.

    Barry Steakfries in Steak vs Fries :cool:

    Although to prevent people from exploiting the pause functionality to take a second or slow the game down when the going gets tough they could make it like Doodle Jump and only allow the game to be paused 3 times? After that you don't get any count down?

    Mm-hmm, given how short the average session is, I'd be surprised if most people legitimately needed to pause the game twice in one run, let alone three or four times.

    This game is seriously fantastic! I'm number 8 on the best distance leaderboards (used to be #4). One major problem though. I went to play the game today and all of my coins are gone! I looked and I still have my progress but all unlocks and coins are gone (also, many game centers achievements haven't unlocked for some reason). Huge bummer, if they can't fix this I'm going to like the game a whole lot less.

    The obstacle that is on the bottom...?


    Start a new game. Don't tap the screen and watch Barry faceplant into the first thing that comes his way. Press "Play again", repeat three times total.

    Hmm, now people with newer devices and IOS 4.3 also have problems with coins disappearing? That's a bit scary, hope there is a fix soon.

    I just had such a great run, got two blasts in the spin machine and then ended at 4998 meters, 2 meters before the 5k achievement. Oh well. Immediately bought the final blasts and the second chance upgrades.

    I bought the counterfeit machine at the end of the first time through the missions. I am almost a second time through, and I have all the coins I want. I bought all but 2 jetpacks, the expensive clothes necessary for an achievement, one golden vehicle, and I still had money left for the three second chances and final blasts. I think that that says enough about consumable IAPs being completely unnessary here. I also think that in practice you don't use those after-death upgrades a lot, at least I only use them if I am in the neighbourhood of my best time, so they actually last quite a while I think.

    One tiny complaint is the sound of the rainbow jetpack (which is otherwise so awesome!). Anyone else dislikes that? It is so annoying to me that I turn sound effects off, but that's a shame because I do like the other sounds.
