    Anyone else have trouble on the 10th track of the Xmas Cup? If you passed it, what car did you use? The Racer bounces way too much. The Fruit Ninja car is a bit better, but I still haven't passed it yet.

    Loving these ideas...I had thought of something like a mini Nurburgring...

    maybe some F1 style cars too!

    World drive sounds really cool, but they'll have to make the map quite big otherwise it won't look very nice..

    ^ Why not tracks with multiple routes? That way you can have a big map without necessarily changing the short lap nature of play? They could even crisscross a bit or maybe you could affect other routes thru your actions eg flood a roadway or block it by setting a boulder rolling or something.

    Just wait, devs are aware of that issue, here's what they replied to me on twitter after my question about not saving game progress.

    Mini Motor Racing (and HD) Version 1.1.1 submitted to Apple

    Hi guys,

    Mini Motor Racing update 1.1.1 (for iPhone and iPad) has now been submitted to Apple for approval. We've extensively tested the game on all devices and iOS configurations and have the memory (read: crash) issue fixed. Here are the notes for the patch!

    • Crash fix for those affected
    • Increased width of 'Desert' track to help with late game progress
    • Increased width of 'Cliffs' track to help with late game progress
    • Race lines added to Ruins to make navigation easier
    • Added auto-flip orientation for all devices
    • Save checks added to ensure progress retention
    • Optimized in-game performance for older devices increasing frame rates and decreasing stuttering
    We are approaching Christmas so Apple is no doubt very busy with lots of reviews, but we hope for a speedy approval!

    - Ingmar

    Thanks for working so hard on updates!
    I just noticed something and I don't know if it's a bug or some sort of trap? After jumping I sometimes sink into the road and am respawned. Is that normal or not?
    Otherwise not complaints, excellent game in my opinion:)

    Hey there :) Well, it's not normal, but it's a known glitch. That's on our list to address in the next update (after the one we submitted to Apple today).

    I just can't wait till update comes to the store. So eager to play MMR, but cant do so because of a bug with save. Really hope this update fixes that issue. Thank you so much for your work!

    Hey JT, had a few wifi connection issues with the release version of the game (one player would drop their wifi every single time causing a dropout), and now with the 1.1.1 update the wifi option is not selectable (well its still a blue "clickable" button, but doesnt do anything when touched).
    Doesnt seem to be anything in this thread, any issues noted regarding that?

    The menus are still jerky. I also had a crash after the race I played straight after the update. I'll try to restart my iPod touch and see if it helped.

    Love the AI in this game.

    There are still a few kinks in the armor. I coulda sworn I lapped a racer, while in second place. It's happened a couple times, actually.

    Otherwise, the game hasn't chugged since I updated. It's smooth, but the AI makes me wanna pull my hair out at times; I'm talking Motorstorm AI here. But that's simply a matter of skill really.

    The game still needs nurturing, but it's a splendid package, nonetheless.
