    wow the ai is actually really smart....if you tilt your device 90 degrees so that your character is going really fast the entire time, the ai will recognize you are trying to cheat and creates alot of the metal crates so that you die :)

    Mega Jump Update 6 Coming Real Soon!

    [​IMG]

    Hi Guys, here's the latest from our Blog on the next Mega Jump update :)

    We’re happy to announce that our next update to Mega Jump is coming real soon and it’s a huge one! The update is in the final testing phase and will be sent to Apple within the coming days.

    Here are some of the new features you can expect:

    Stage Selection
    It’s finally here! Unlock new stages when you reach them and use the Stage Selector to play them again at any time!

    Stage Difficulty
    We’ve worked hard to get a smoother progression in the stage difficulty as you journey further into the game. Discover all kinds of new features only found in the later stages with more hazards, enemies and obstacles, along with greater rewards!

    Three (3!) New Powerups
    Antigrav Boots: Give your little feet the power to run into the sky, control your jumps with a tap on the screen or double tap to cross the screen!
    Lucky Blast: Creates a lucky magic blast to transform all the items around you into huge rewards!
    Super Magnet: This one is irresistible. It’s one mega magnet that lets no coin escape!

    Save Star
    You asked and we listened. The Save Star allows you to come back from certain death. Collect Save Stars and use them in-game whenever you need to boost out of a difficult situation or as you’re falling to your doom. A single tap on the Save Star will bring you boosting right back into the game!

    New Coins
    To reward our hardcore adventurers as you progress deeper into the game, you will find coins of ever larger value. Look out for coins with 2x and 4x the value of regular coins scattered throughout the stages.

    New Block Types
    Bounce Blocks: Landing on these blocks will keep you bouncing around the screen. Navigate through fields of Bounce Blocks to get to your reward!
    Break Blocks: Jump on these blocks to break them open and discover what’s inside. Many of them are hiding precious items!
    Spike Blocks: These are dangerous. Steer clear of the fields of spike blocks, a keen eye will help you navigate through these hazards.

    A New Enemy
    He’s red, he’s big, and he’s got a temper. Avoid this mouthy monster or you’ll pay the price!

    2 New Characters
    Meet Koko and Chippy, the newest friends to join our space race. An adorable baby Koala and a wide eyed Chipmunk are looking for adventure!

    New Special Effects
    All of the powerups in Mega Jump now have new special effects to better show off the fantastic abilities your character has earned!

    New Coin and Block Patterns
    We’ve created dozens of new coin and block patterns for you to navigate. Discover ever more patterns and puzzles as you unlock later stages, from beautiful coin flowers to dastardly spike block tunnels!

    Look for this update coming soon to your iPhone and iPod touch!

    awesome incoming update!

    Just a thought... how bout a "sell back" button for things you have bought?
    (but you only get half of your coins back.)

    oh and is anyone getting lag when they touch the screen when your in balloon form?

    The update is free but I wonder if you might still need to "purchase" many of these new aspects to access them.

    The new powerups (super magnet, lucky blast and antigrav boots), the new characters and the save stars are all unlockable with Mega Points.

    Stages are unlocked when you reach them in the game. You can then start the game from any stage you have already reached. You can also unlock higher stages with Mega Points if you want to take a shortcut.

    Everything else in this update is included in the game, without needing to unlock it.

    By the way, the new blocks will also be themed based on the stage they appear in. Here are a few more features in the update:

    Full Support for Multitasking
    You'll never have to worry about your game being interrupted - the game will always pick up where you left off

    Speed Optimization
    We've done a bunch of work under the hood to improve performance, even on lower-end devices, so the game should be silky smooth even on 3G phones and iPod Touch.

    More Game
    We've broken up the stages so that instead of just 5, there are now 10 distinct stages to unlock. Each stage lasts as long as the previous version, but features more patterns and challenges.

    We're really looking forward to hearing what you guys think of the new update, and what you'd like to see next.
