    Hi jbsib, my new score is now 32220, but I am playing 14 hours now on the game, you need to put some time in, and eventually you will get better.

    First I went for the coins so full circle and full circle 2 and so on, but this is getting you nowhere, it's all about smashing the balls in a row, first you get one hit than double and triple and than the voice says smashing and another smash and you get smashing 1 and so on and with smashing in a row you get the big points, with my latest highscore I got a 35+ combo smash.

    Good luck in trying and see you on the Leaderboard.

    Another tip: I do always a double tap when making a smash, so hit the ball and tap fast back to the other side and so on, so always double tap to attack, but there are other strategies as well, this game looks simple but it has so many ways to play it, it's one of the best, maybe the best twitch game out there, well for me it is.

    Don't worry, I doubt I'll ever catch up to your score. So you can always brag you're better than the guy who made it :)

    So I saw the write up. Congratulations for getting Touch Arcades game of the week. I decided to download the game and wow I am glad I did. What a fantastic game. It's really fun jumping back and forth smashing those circles!

    The only thing I would ask is would it be possible to move the play/replay button lower on the screen. Having to reach all the way up to the center of the screen has been difficult and since you die so often I'm forced to use both hands.

    But other than this it's a perfect game. I paid to remove the ads. It's really a perfect mobile game. The controls are perfect. Lots of replayability. Premium IAP. It deserves 5 stars. You are under charging for the game. It's worth more. Really well done!

    You'd have liked the early prototype, it didn't have a play button or menu at all, so it just dropped another player ball right after dying. I kinda miss this version, but it was too hard to get any work done.

    On a more serious note, this functionality is a good idea, and I'm stealing it. (Though I won't be moving the button itself, that stays in the center.) I/we just need to think of a good way to make it obvious, without changing the esthetic of the menu.

    Had the distinct pleasure to beta this and I must say that it has turned out to be a stellar high score chaser, even though I don't have GC. Kudos to the team, great work. Fun and addictive, what more does one need.

    If this game didn't get the GOTW press, I never would have picked it up. Great stuff!

    I just reach an avarage of 500 points, but I don't want to brag about it he he, just letting you know.

    My longest game was 3 minutes.

    Played 16 hours now and got a total of 60.000 jumps.

    I also made 15.000 laps, so as you can see I make 4 times more jumps than that I make laps, that makes me a jumper not a lapper.

    And I played 1886 games in total.

    For future updates,

    Would it be possible to add cosmetics? Maybe different circles you could buy? Both your circle and enemy circles.

    It would add even more longevity to the game. People like myself love this sort of thing.

    Also to make things more crazy and interesting why not have different modes, such as in one mode the main ring stretches getting bigger and smaller as you play. It would get nuts and intense and really make you think and react.

    What do you devs think? What does everyone think?

    I really recommend everyone purchase the no ads IAP. This game is absolutely worth that price. It was easily one of my best purchases this week.

    My high is 793 so far. In that run all I did was let the ball roll, jumping as little as possible, only when necessary. I haven't been able to beat that first score, but I definitely get higher scores with that approach as opposed to jumping around a lot.

    This is an awesome game. It does however ride a super thin line between "one more try" and throwing your device at the wall. lol
