    Actually, Bullseye just takes a little planning.

    Try gauging how much you continue after you die when you walk into a bottom zapper. Not very much - yet the amount you continue when flying varies so much.

    Get about 170 or 180 metres and start walking - perhaps you can hit a bottom zapper around 190 or so - a few metres will take you very close to 200. Experiment a little with a little bit of height before you hit that zapper, and I think you will get it with a few more tries.

    I spent about 30 minutes on Bullseye last night. I figured that if you pass the first zapper at 120-130 (based off the first coin pattern), you have a chance. You have to hit the third zapper about one body length above the bottom zapper, traveling upwards. That's how I did it at least. :)

    This is the ONLY game that isn't in a folder on my iPod touch and just got my 9th medal about 30 hours in.

    If you STILL haven't got this game even after all the glowing reviews, get it....NOW!

    Bullseye in one attempt! I was just lucky to get a bottom zaaper at around 193m, and hitting it running on the ground put me at 200.

    Only need Angry Wings achievement now... The randomness of this achievement is quite frustrating :)

    It would be cool if the developers could improve the graphics in the rank tab and also making the stash fullscreen in the iPad version.Also more clothes and gear would be very appreciated because what is available now it just not enough but I like the amount of jetpacks.Also please add the Jetpack magnet upgrade it would be very useful.I bought the counterfeit machine to support you! Hope the second update will add cool features and don't forget about new missions cause the recent ones are getting repetitive and boring.

    Your link is bad. Save the image to your computer and then save it to your albums here on TA. Then click on the image in the albums and it will give you a link to the photo. Then use that link.

    I would LOVE to see what it looks like (cuz at this rate it will take me until next year to get it - playing 24 hours a day!)

    Here,
    Everytime I uploaded it, it would show for me then disappear.

    Yes! Got Germophobe on attempt 2. I didn't even use a Head Start! Talk about lucky...
    1 more achievement. Any advice on Angry Wings? Let's hope my luck is as good as the other achievements :D

    I've been playing this for about 10 hours and I have to say I totally fell in love with...initially. Beautifully polished and generally great fun.

    I have to say I find the game very frustratingly difficult, in particular the way it throws unavoidable zappers in you path.

    All my higher scores were achieved by the path being randomly easier one time rather than another. Since I paid for IAP I also have been getting much higher scores than before...

    The whole experience has just left me a little empty and it's rare that I play a game that doesn't seem to have an obvious skill curve to master.

    It's a good app but not for me...way too random and unfair to players who don't buy IAP :)

    If you get it as your first vehicle, ditch it asap and try to make a long run, to get as many vehicles as you can. If you get another vehicle ditch it asap as well to maximize the change of getting another vehicle. :)

    Is it just me, or is that trailer art awesome? Halfbrick should use the artstyle and make a Barry Steakfries, or should I say, a BS television show. I'd watch it. :)

    I can't believe this is true. How does the game become easier because of the IAP? You think HB would make the game easier as soon as you buy an IAP? I dont believe that :)

    Just curious... but why exactly does Barry shoot innocent scientists on the "Bad As Hog"? What dad they ever to do him?! Or does he just enjoy killing people... kinda like a homicidal maniac?
