    Yup! We want pretty much everyone to be able to play our games, so we do our best to make the games scale really well from low end hardware to the top.

    Love the video! Looking forward to it.

    BTW, does the beaded guy have a name or not?

    Another question. I saw in the video something that said get coins. I'm guessing this is a store for coins for upgrades in the game. Is this true? From the video it doesn't look necessary as everything can be unlocked by playing the game.

    Looks AWESOME indeed!

    Is there a way to slow down like in Canabalt?

    Thanks! We are really pulling out all the stops for it, and it continues to get better every day!

    When you collect vehicles, the game slows down and gives you a good chance to breathe. Also the game doesn't just get faster forever, there is a maximum speed you can reach. After that the obstacles start getting more difficult, with harder laser patterns and the like.

    Is there any chance to get a preview version of Machinegun Jetpack? Its one of my most anticipated releases ever. I am a big fan of your games too and would be really happy if I could beta test your game. I would be happy if the developer replies.

    Hey, thanks for the interest! Sorry, but we have an extremely small and tight beta group for MGJP, mostly consisting of family and friends. Shoot me a PM though and I'll add your name into our pool that we draw from when we are looking for new testers. No guarantees tho, we have a lot of people in there!

    Around 6 weeks ish. We are getting there, but there is still some work to do! You guys should hear some more news soon, followed by a solid release date sometime in the future.

    That does look really cool... can't wait to get them all!

    You know a company's serious when they make different icons for their achievements :p

    (and lol at the classified ones)

    Edit: The designs remind me of the pins in TWEWY. (pretty much the most innovative ds game ever)
