    Could you update via iTunes on the PC and then install to your device?

    I almost purchased last week when the thread was resurrected, but I passed when I saw it was iPhone only, now it's universal I've picked up and can't wait to play.

    Are you on ios7?

    I didn't have it on my device and when I downloaded it from iCloud it was still old version but as soon as it finished the download button changed to Update.

    Try staying in AppStore screen until it downloads and see if you get the Update button.

    Anyway plays great on my iPad!

    Really enjoying this, plays brilliantly n my iPad mini, I occasionally miss the jump button and fall down the hole and die but it's not causing too many problems at the moment.

    What a fantastic surprise! I never thought I'll see this great game tailored to the newest iDevices. The game just got some love it really deserved. Thank you very much to the devs for this update!

    BTW, I just downloaded the update like 30 minutes ago from the U.S AppStore.

    WOOHOO!!! I was finally able to download it. I had to sign out of my account in the AppStore, reboot my device, sign back in, sign out, reboot, then sign in, and I was able to download it then. i'm really starting to hate iOS 7...

    Anyway, I just finished the first water level... and OMG. I'm completely blown away (again). It's also great to see others enjoying the game as well. This has always been in my top 3 platformers on the iOS, and going through it again with my MOGA controller is fantastic.

    Thank you so so so so so much for the update, Chris!

    Time to replay this beautiful game. I still love the art style so much. Recently I have been thinking that this is the iOS game I would want to play most of all on my Nintendo 3DS. Just imagine how amazing the 3D would be!

    Seeing an update to this game was a nice surprise. I like nice things. Thank you! :)

    Yeah, the more I play, the more changes I'm seeing, and the updated graphics are just... outstanding. I really can't put into words how much I love the graphics + animations, and all the interactions with the animals that you've added... sitting on that ledge with the... rabbit, I think? Whatever animal it was, it was just... so freak'n charming and is just a great example of how much love has gone into this game.

    Look at me... gettin all gushy over Miss Claire Garden again... =oD

    I guess this is one I missed during my 2 1/2 year absence from iOS gaming, looks like I'll be picking this up. :D

    Since people are flipping over this update, thought I'd throw a bone to traditional platform lovers to check out Bloo Kid 2. I wasn't a huge fan of the original but the sequel ranks up there with this, Pizza Boy and Frogtto as my favorite traditional platformers on the App Store.

    With so much focus on hardcore speed platformers on iOS in recent years, it's refreshing to see this update and Bloo Kid 2 breathe some new life into the genre.

    So... I just reached the 50 Feather mark... and OMG. The new stages are... incredible. Actually... everything about the game is just... incredible! lol

    For anyone who's thinking that the pace is a little slow... later on in the game, during the intense platforming areas (of which there are a lot), you'll be pretty grateful that little Miss Claire's speed isn't ramped up.

    Anyway... just so happy to be playing through this again. Thank you so much, Chris. The amount of work you've put into this just blows my mind.

    And now to hook my phone back into my MOGA and get back into MCG! =oD

    Really glad to finally discover this. Would never have glanced at it without TA. Even if I'd stumbled upon it, I'd have looked at the icon and assumed it was a Toca game or something.

    Have beaten the final level, but have a lot of feathers still to get. Surprised how tough it gets.

    Can anyone tell me what level to find the
    banana gloves
    in? I know syntheticvoid posted it early in the thread (a few years ago!) but it seems that the level numbers have changed since then.

    Cheers. I'd spotted that area on my first play through but hadn't reached it yet. I seem to have all the treasures now, so I know that any areas I can't reach mean I just need to think a bit harder. :)

    I just read your review on the AppStore, Syntheticvoid!
    This is the first time, including "pro" review, that I read a review that understands (and explains...) the gameplay of Miss Claire Garden! Thanks...
    (Thank you to TheFrost , too, for his review)

    Maybe that review can be posted here. I have the Dutch AppStore so I can not see it and I am curious

    It was published? WOW, they almost never do. Glad it went through.

    SyntheticVoid is pretty much the guy to trust around here. One of the handful of TA who never fails and its always on the spot. If anyone trusts him, get Miss Claire Garden, and if you don't, buy it and start doing it. For real.
