    I beat it after an hour of grinding it out. Wow. I mean the jumps had to be pixel perfect.

    Honestly though, it feels so good now that I got the fruit trophy.

    @Nitrome will there be any prizes for those that beat it on the current build of the game? :)

    That was tough. I just beat it as well. Very satisfying :D

    Man, that question comes up a lot! Have you considered adding a sign pointing the second room or something?

    Having restarted my journey while at the same time keeping up with new levels, I decided to take a detour and take another stab at June 10. Finally managed to finish it with a fruit cup. Sure, there are a lot of swinging spiked balls at the end of the level, but none of the sections other than that very first part of checkpoint 4 are excessively difficult. Hell, even that part isn't really hard, but your timing has to be incredibly precise.

    @Metalcasket Well done going through that level again and good luck making it through all the levels again. I feel your pain btw losing all the levels....one of the test builds I had in the office wiped all of my progress and I had to do it all again about a week back!

    @Mr Benz I have thought about it but TBH we make probably 95 percent or more of the revenue from Ads which is pretty much in line with our other games. I thought there might have been a better value propersition with this game so we might have got more but it seems there is very little you can do to convince people to unlock premium if you make everything accessible for free. We may still do something but it's not high priority for now.

    @Everyone The latest update passed review so we should flick the switch on Monday! So look forward to the first of our planned new content very soon :)

    Very exciting! Is there a changelog i can find somewhere? Or do you all like surprises :)

    Yeah I think a large portion of people who play these types of games are fairly young or play the game inconsistently enough to the point where the ads don't bother them. We here at Toucharcade love premium games, but in reality we are just a minority. Please don't let us get in the way of good business decisions

    Hey @Nitrome I paid for the Premium IAP, and I would like to know if is there a way to make checkpoints automatic again? I hate the need to enter the door every single time. It meshes with my concentration and tempo, I really hate it. :(

    There's a bug in the current version. When the next update hits, you'll have an option to turn on/off auto-checkpoints. If you're keen on it now, go ahead, delete your game, lose all your progress and be an idiot like that metalcasket fellow. :p

    It's definitely stressful and I don't think I'll ever attempt it again. You don't realize just how long the levels are until you're playing them in succession. It's going well. If I continue at the rate at which I'm going, I'll be done by tomorrow evening. :)

    I have set myself dead on getting checkpoint Charlie from fhe very first level. I always mess up at the very end, the tippy top. I always overthink it. I blaze through the entire level in mere minutes... Then I sweat at the end. I know how to do it. I just over think it. Today will be the day.

    **** this damn game. Hahahahahahah I love it.

    By the way I'm old af and I paid for and love this game.

    I thought I was gonna get the ach. if I play and get fruit cup for 30 days. Is it that way (bugged like before) or do I have to play all of June levels to get it? If so eh.

    Update's out, folks! :D

    EDIT: Not sure what exactly I'm supposed to do to earn gifts. Must I start with a new level? Replaying completed levels seems to do nothing and nothing's been unlocked yet.

    I just beat the current level, since I hadn't played before the update. I unlocked 1 reward point for bronze, silver, gold, and fruit (4 total points). That got me to the gift, which unlocked the chameleon character. Not sure if random unlock.

    The selfie cam feature is stretched (squeezed?) on iPad mini.

    Right, that makes sense. Judging from your post and Nitrome's Twitter, since I had already completed June 13 before the update hit, my unlockables start tomorrow.

    Bug: Sometimes the pause button and the new camera button below it are unresponsive and the app needs to be killed and restarted.

    I can also confirm that beating previously unbeaten/unplayed levels in the same month does not unlock additional reward points. It seems that today's level is/was the first day to accumulate any points.

    Cups collected before the updates don't count. Sorry if that means you collected them in the day before the update came out but you will have to wait until tomorrow. This is unfortunate but I'm not sure there was a way we could have avoided this.

    The update has 43 things to collect including 10 new characters so get collecting :)

    Random unlocks, or are they ordered?

    I unlocked Lick yesterday and Yolk's selfie today ##
    I didn't try the selfie button yesterday. Not sure if I unlocked a certain pose(?)
    Either way I am happy to be rewarded with stuff as I have been getting fruit cup since day 1! #
