    As a total old school gamer I was initially torn on this game as I'm not a fan of auto runners at all. Congrats and thank you for creating a premium game! I've read through the forum thread and love to hear that you keep your coins allowing you to progress with potentially buying different items or weapons so you don't feel stuck but potentially incentivized when frustrated. A nice twist on rogue like games which aren't a genre I like as I fear no lrugress etc...

    After hearing this hits the top list list like the Dust game it makes me think that I'd actually enjoy this game after all. I also now better understand how this being an auto runner might be required based on all the action going on etc... While still torn as again auto runner makes me nervous as well as a significant backlog of games...

    The biggest challenge of getting old is the lack of game time due to challenges and opportunities life throws at you!

    Congrats again and I'll likely lick this amazing looking game up in the future.,

    The more i play this game the more i love it. I really do not mind the difficulty i love replaying the levels the graphics are so crisp. Every level is an amazing work of art.

    As you said, I'm no real big fan of auto runners either but I have to say that it is very befitting to this particular game and I think it actually lends to the fun. Your prime focus being jumping and blowing the shyt outta stuff. Great game.

    This game is awesome!!! Can't say enough good about it, almost like the Rayman auto runners on crack!!! Bonus that we get to keep our coins even if we didn't finish the level...

    Just one major complaint, we NEED iCloud! I'd love to not have two game saves #

    Help I'm having a hard time figuring this out

    (Don't shoot at those damn nibbles and score 2200 points while completing level 1-7)

    What do I do???

    Figured it out only use dash on the nibbles.... You can shoot the crates...

    You get points for:
    Killing nibbles(you can use only dash)
    Destroing things(boxes. Shoot them)
    That's it.
    And look for the signs on the levels. You have to follow the signs with medal(crown) to get more points!

    To the devs
    Some achievements are like that : Destroy 14 boxes in level 1-1 or kill 7 nibbles in level 1-2 etc. I believe you should add the word "At least"?
    Was trying to shoot or kill or destroy exactly the number which was mentioned and this is a fast paced game so counting is....you know who counts in games like these, these days? ## I am trying to kill the baddies stare at the beautiful scenery at the background and count at the same time.
    Of course it may not be a major problem cause when you shoot or kill or destroy the required number of boxes nibbles etc a message with yellow letters pops up in the screen indicating you completed the achievement.

    Whew...at least the crown on 3-8, but still missing two stars. If the beautiful look of a movie star should determine this level's difficulty...
    Gollum

    1 star missing now

    I'm SO CLOSE to beat last boss....
    Hurricane is too far away, so I developed a new way to beat the boss...that I will disclose after I beat it :p

    I can now consistently arrive with 5 hearts to
    third (last?) stage where you have to destroy a big wooden box and the boss deploy the huge iron balls but there I seem to have too little firepower

    So good.

    And I did it!!!!!

    Woooooooooah.........what a ride!!!!!

    I do not know if it's easier with hurricane, which I do not have yet....but last boss is BRUTAL.

    For the curious....I beat the boss with 5 hearts too....(I played so many times last level I know every inch of the stages)

    I used
    Shedder and doom, I found the grenades much more effective against the boss, especially first 2 stages, even if surviving the parts between the boss encounters is way more difficult.

    What an outstanding game, congrats to the devs.

    CONGRATS!!!

    Interesting 2nd weapon choice as well. Though i don't really like it (played like 15 min), i can see the impact of it.

    Oh, and don't fall in the same moody two ios days hole as i did, lol.

    OH MY GOD you are hardcore.
    I have killed the boss with different weapons. And your choise of heavy weapon is like THE MOST HARDCORE, except the shotgun with wich you just can't kill him:)
    Anyway, congratulations!

    Well for some reason I found using doom MUCH easier than using disruptor.
    With disruptor I needed at least 4 phases for the first boss weapon...and I saw second one like 2 times.
    With doom I can reach final boss stage almost always and then it takes time, but even if you make a mistake (not too many) you re gain hearts sometimes.
    The biggest problem, once you know all boss timings (after 1000000000 times they are impressed in my memory for eternity), is surviving the normal monster stages in between without losing hearts.

    Anyway, it was freaking epic.

    Well....some hours later I'm already in a black hole mood of game withdrawal:)
    I have yet to unlock hurricane (for some reason I hit a wall with more stars or crowns) but completing the levels and the boss was the big push.
    I hope Nerfgame will put out something new soon.
    Maybe a notch less difficult.

    Would love a sequel, or something similar in a more serious scifi setting, or something more free form....or...well...anything, they earned my trust forever now.

    So I finished the game with almost all stages, except the last 3, three starred and with all gold coins. (And to think I was complaining about having to tap all the time to shoot, lol)

    Well it seems I am the 3rd person to finish it but how many have gotten almost all the 3 stars and coins? I guess I may be the only one. I am Hardcore lol.

    The Hurricane is a game changer for the boss fight ( let me not spoil anything, y'all would find out yourselves).

    Luckily I got the Hurricane while at the middle of world 3 so I was already decked out, going into the boss fight stage.

    Dev, is it me or is the Boss stage unique in setup (not spoiling anything here for anyone).

    Anyway, the game was so worth it.

    Tip for beginners: Try as much as possible to 3 star any stage you have started before moving onwards as you may have to learn the pattern all over if you return later which may be more frustrating.

    Again whatever you do, make sure you get the required score for each stage as it helps you unlock things the fastest.

    Finally, I will like to say that those 2 socks are really suspect lol.

    Oh again, with the Hurricane, I beat the boss in 4 attempts and always knocking him off on the first 2 platforms with the 3rd platform just being a free run for me.

    Yes, Boss stage is unique in setup:)

    And OH MAN YOU ARE HARDCORE!
    Even not everyone in our studio has got all stars and all medals for all levels! (Well, that is because of the progress reset's we are making all the time, but still)

    It's a pitty that you haven't posted your progress as you've got it. That's impressive)

    Yes I will post my score as soon as I have a stable Internet connection. Unfortunately I am running 64kb on my iPad now.

    Honestly, after playing this game, I am scared of platformers and Nibbles for ever. The Nibbles sneak attacks are the highlight.

    This game is tough but in the most impressive way ever.

    Love it so much.
