Wow - i'm pleased when i scrape over 600. I'm on C-45 and i'm struggling. How you get a score in the 800s I have no idea. Well done, feller.
Well that's me got three stars on all the challenge levels. I'll try and beat the times when iCade is added. Excellent work everyone - best 69p I've spent in a long time. Can't believe the controls are so tight on a touchscreen platformer. Beautiful.
I got all stars in the game the day after I bought it. I guess some of the Hook Champ skills apply to this game as well =) I'll see if I can get any top 10 runs later.
Thanks for the post! We enjoyed reading your iTunes review the other day. Did you go by xzamplezz in HC? Because I can't say I remember seeing your name. Yeah, no nightmare levels. Not sure if we are going to be adding a specific set of "hard" levels, but who knows. We like to think the Challenge levels are fairly challenging to most, and by reading some of the comments, I think they are. But I understand the desire for harder levels. I was hopeful they'd add nightmare++ levels to HC.
Just hit the top 5 in challenge mode That is harder than a bag of hard things Time for sleep no doubt I'll be passed ... Bring it on.
There's a very hard trick I use. On the section where you touch the two statues, drop right, then left, then right again (near the beginning), if you touch the two statues then head left, you'll shave possibly .6 seconds off. You have to get there extremely fast, touch the two statues quickly, and try to avoid the platform moving across, the lower platform, then master the rest of the level. I could probably shave .3 seconds off but it would be extremely difficult and time consuming. Good luck =P.
I was just asking someone else about this in a PM, but I figured I would throw it out to the general public. For any iCade owners out there, how would you like to see the 8 iCade buttons configured for Mikey Shorts? The current scheme is: Top: jump, slide, nothing, pause/resume Bottom: slide, jump, nothing, retry Of course the iCade controller only works when playing a level (sorry, no menu navigation support).
Yeah, my name was xzample. I was top 5 in a few levels. I know what you're saying, but the players who believe those levels are hard aren't exactly experienced with platformers. It's a much more rewarding feeling beating something that is challenging. It's all right, though. I'll be happy with any new levels.

Personally, I much prefer to play with the bottom row when there are only two buttons, but having slide to the left of jump just sounds wrong to me, so I'd prefer it if the rows were switched (if you want them to be different at all). I'd also prefer it if the slide and jumps buttons were further apart (so jump bottom left, slide bottom right), but that's not very important. Could you also support joystick down for slide? Whatever setup you decide on, I am so glad that you're going to support iCade! I started playing this on my iPad but I just don't do platformers well on iPad, even when the controls are adjustable and as good as in Mikey Shorts, apparently. Have been playing on iPhone now and that's much better, but iCade seems just perfect. With that in mind, I read that you were considering iCloud, and that would be awesome.
I bought this last night and it is indeed fun, though I think all the glowing reviews are pretty over the top. It's a very simple game. The controls also aren't perfect. I sometimes try to slide and don't slide. I'm not sure if it's because I'm missing the button or if it's because I don't think you can press slide if you are in the air (I'm not sure about that - maybe it's just that I'm missing the button). But I do like the game and all the costumes, so don't get me wrong.
They aren't over the top. It's simplicity executed brilliantly. You cannot slide in the air. You must've missed the button. You can go into options and move the buttons to your preferred position.
