    Hi All,

    thrilled to see that this thread is still active...Touch Arcade really does have a really good community!

    As many of you pointed out there was a bug that was causing the level to be incompleteable but it has now been fixed.

    To the person mentioning the os10 requirement. I know we had to bump the requirement to support stickers but I didn't think it was all the way to 10. Did this happen only on the last update? We will look into it and set it back down assuming its a mistake.

    Currently we're working on the next major update which will focus on adding new enemies and some new backgrounds. We also have a smaller update that should go out before that for a certain coming up soon that one might expect a game based on a callender to do somthing special for :)

    So nice to keep seeing the support from developers with this amazing game!

    Question: is anybody receiving the new characters after "Zweiclops"? Usually after receiving some selfies you get a new character as a reward. It's not being the case for me since two weeks, I keep receiving selfies (I have all of them except one) and none of the latest 8 new characters.

    Is anybody having this problem?

    Update regarding the os10. It was a mistake we made in the haste to fix the level that wasn't possible to complete. We should be able to put it back with another update. I think it was previously os8 so we should be able to put it back to that. Originally it was os7 I think but we had to raise to 8'to support Stickers.

    Not cool for iOS7 users... I was able to enjoy this game for a long time but not beeing able to have new updates and bug corrections makes me feels sad now that I know the reason : Stickers. Were they really that important and cool? And the worst part is that the game in the actual state (without iOS8 updates) is almost unplayable because of freezes and lag.
    Well, I hope Redungeon will still stay on iOS7, I'm curious to see these items in the teasing options and eventually other surprise updates too.

    Leap Day Daily Gift Problems

    Hey guys. I'm hoping somebody can help me out with this. I've been playing Leap Day for almost a week now. I've really enjoyed playing, but I'm not receiving my daily gifts for completing a level anymore. I received them the first two days I played, but nothing ever since then. My meter gets to 7/8 and I can't figure out how to get that last point. I collect every piece of fruit in the level and receive the fruit cup, so I can't figure out what I'm missing. I've attached a picture so you can hopefully understand better what I'm talking about. Thanks guys!

    @joshwhite83 wow that's strange. I have never heard of people having this problem. I will ask the programmers if they have any idea what's going on. My only thought is that your not completing the level while it is still today? You only get the points on 'todays' levels and not past ones. Your shot doesn't seem to indicate this but it's worth mentioning.

    Regarding os7 vs os8 support. In general we would only up the OS level in a game if we felt it had more benefit to the game than the negative of upping it. Statistically there are not many players playing Leap Day on os7 so we did not feel it would have a major impact. At the same time adding support for stickers gave us a reason to get a new feature from Apple which would drive new users to the app....that's very valuable to us and the more people we can keep playing the more we can support the app. More content for the app is good for all the users so it seems mostly a win win in our eyes.

    We also felt that Stickers could have a viral impact that would further support the game. People who have the app get the stickers and if they use them people they send them too that don't have the stickers have a small link under them to direct them to the App Store so they can download them if they want. If you download the stickers you also get the game which hopefully they would play leading to an organic new user.

    We also felt that the few os7 users could always upgrade to os8 and that the game does still function ieven if you don't update so we weren't totally locking people out of the game. We do feel bad that there will be some that didn't like the decision but sometimes you have to make tough choices. We did ultimately think this was the best choice for the game.

    Jumping Issue

    Am I the only one that's noticed that your double jumps don't get reset when you jump off a wall at the very instant you touch it? This glitch is very very very annoying.

    Glitchy Music

    I don't know if anyone has realized but in addition to the white blobs the music is glitchy as well. Periodically it will stutter for like a tenth of a second. It seems like a rushed update.

    The bug is fixed now everyone. It wasn't actually a bug. The version just got corrupted some how so we issues a fresh one.

    Nightmare over!

    Also following the small Halloween update, we're planning a big Xmas update....you should finally get some Snowy backgrounds which we have purposely been holding off on doing for this. There will be a range of other winter related things in there too :)

    Also to people who like all things Nitrome and not just Leap Day we are hoping to have two new games out before Xmas too!

    Don't know if this is worth 4 bucks.

    Is good indeed... but 4 bucks seems expensive to me.

    You don't have to pay anything to play it. I did after I found myself coming back to this time and time again. The devs keep updating it as well.

    One idea I've had: some sort of store to spend fruits in. I don't find myself too bothered to collect the fruits, but if they were a currency I could spend on cosmetics I would feel more reason to grab them!

    Too much ads to play without remove them.

    I'll try it 1 or 2 days more, then I'll decide if remove ads or uninstall.

    With this new update Leap Day just cemented its place as my platformer of the year. Seriously, endless fun. I just unlocked a blue bunny yesterday, don't know how many charaters are still hidden and suddenly, another update adds even more. Soooo good!
