    Yup. I always keep the gold on every vehicle becuse I prefer it to the actual color (not by a lot, but they're so shiny :D :p)

    Cool idea Ashflow! 'Soda' is an American term. In Australia we use 'Soft Drink' or 'Fizzy Drink' They could do lemonade jetpack or any of the famous brands of drinks too.

    Can you have both a golden and magnet at the same time, or do you have to switch between the two after you bought them?

    I'd personally just like a new level with new obstacles, purely cosmetic jetpacks feel kind of lame IMO, as it is still exactly the same thing. Not complaining at all just an idea, I definitely got more entertainment from this than a lot of more expensive games. I just wish it had more to it, and I think a new level as an IAP would hit the spot.

    I found something with this new update. Sometimes coins would appear so close to a zapper and I would die getting the coins. Never happened in 1.0, where there would be no obstacles slightly before and after a row of coins. Is this deliberate/bug?

    Ah. Thanks for enlightening me :)

    And about the coin/zapper overlap thing: that's happened a few times to me as well. Not often, but I do feel cheated when it happens...

    I also had the teleporter explode yesterday into a giant white block for a few seconds.

    Also, Mode Suggestion!:
    Vehicle Joyride- Pick your favorite vehicle and get as far as possible. This mode would become increasingly useful as a practice ground for new vehicles as they're added, since the chance of getting them would be less an less, and it'd provide a nice sidegame that could have it's own leaderboards for each vehicle.

    (Dang, the longer I think about it, the more awesome it sounds...)

    This is a fantastic idea and I support it 100%. Maybe even allow people to buy the ability for ~10,000 coins each or whatever, as not to detract from the whole Jetpack Joyride concept.

    As with the suggestion of vehicles, perhaps you guys should consider the mechanics of a vehicle rather than their aesthetics.

    It's easy to suggest something random that you think may look sweet, but I'm not sure it's the right approach. For example, how would a go-kart differ from the current Badass Hog, or a helicopter from the Profit Bird?

    Can someone please confirm re: the syncing feature? Do the achievements, gold and unlocks not get synced across devices via GC/OF?

    I have one GC account set up on both my iPad 2 (where i've completed all achievements and unlocked everything) and an iPhone 4 where i'd like to start playing, but can't get it to sync.

    I am getting *so* hacked off with 'Germaphobe'. I'm getting to 2,000 M pretty much every go now, but pretty much every go I'm faced with a choose between dying and collecting something, forced onto the floor (full of scientists, natch), or ambushed by THE F***ING SPIN TOKENS!!! :)

    Seriously, I hate those things. They seek me out. If I had a pound for every time I'd been stuck in between lasers with one of those things coming - and knowing exactly what was gonna happen - I'd have enough for a good bottle of whisky.

    Surely sooner or later I'm gonna catch a break with this achievement? I know I'm not very good, but surely my luck must change sometime...? :)

    And the worst thing, as someone said before about 'Bullseye', is that it stops you actually playing the game. You're not even building up funds 'cause you have to actually avoid the coins.

    I must have tried for 'Germaphobe' about 25-30 times now. I think I'll give it another 20, and by then I'll either have got it or deleted the game. Seriously, this random bag of nonsense is in real danger of wiping out all the goodwill I have for this title...

    (And, also, is it my imagination or are there *loads* more coins since the update? Great news for cash-flow, not great if you have to avoid them... :))

    ETA: I've just noticed that the placement of scientists at the start, when you crash through the wall, is random. Sometimes they're right next to the wall - so close that the opening animation runs you through them before you can lift off. Please tell me that isn't why I failed the runs where I thought I'd got the achievement...

    I got Germaphobe yesterday after only one try (I tried a couple times another day). I used a fast start thingy, and just stayed at the top while that was going. Also I unequipped all the vehicle magnets, though that didn't end up mattering as I didn't accidentally hit any vehicles. I hit a zapper at around 1950 m and then fell, just missing a scientist before crossing 2000. :) That was the last achievement for me.
