    Played this for like a whole 2 minutes, and got double bananas! Well done!

    Cheers! There's an update coming soon with a few fixes. Any ideas or opinions about where we should focus our efforts with future updates?

    That's not a question I'd throw out anywhere, by the way, but we've had some genuinely constructive feedback from the TA forums for our previous game. I'd like to collect some more.

    Here are some thoughts about the game:
    1. I find the objects' hitbox seems glitched, sometimes I surely touched bananas or power ups, but they still there and I can't get them until I move again, weird.

    2. Maybe show the power up remaining status more obvious? it will help to play the game more strategic I think?

    3. Are there more characters and themes? about the character, not just a skin but have different attributes? like longer hand but spin slower, something like that.

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think there are a couple of accuracy issues to look at. We'll be getting an update out very soon. Point 2 is a good one, just need a not too intrusive way of representing the info. Point 3 would be an interesting direction for future updates. We find ourselves sort of agreeing with the TA chaps in the podcast that a faster play style might be fun. Something for us to argue about in the pub. Thanks for taking the time to respond, we appreciate the input.

    That wuz the only thing i could see making your game more fun. I noticed the swings would speed up the longer you hold. Mabey add on a third or fourth cycle. Thank you for not having such a punishing scroll. When our Monkeys miss a branch we still get a bit of chance to catch one if in our reach. ThnX

    Been upgrading like crazy and finally reached 1000m. Now I've unlocked all three environments for the endless mode!

    Thanks @Stuka_1919 @RossmanBrothersGames @7lilwhitewolf7 !

    I was barely lucky to break 50 at first too, but I've maxed out all but 2 powerups. The Miracle Bushes and Rocket Bushes are probably the most useful powerups. And they can all be upgraded a lot. :)

    Hey AKD...so happy to see you commenting on and enjoying an iOS game! I've been sleeping on this one and iOS games in general. No surprise to see you killing it. I'll have to pick this up soon.

    Loved Blokshot Revolution! #

    Dude! I'm so glad you're still here too! I was pretty upset with the GC Bug but I never stopped playing. I don't think that's possible! I thought this would be the thread to see you in.

    I've been playing a bunch of stuff... (Sorry for the off-topic). Train Conductor World, Tomb of the Mask, Don't Die Mr. Robot, King Rabbit, Doofus Drop, The East New World, BioBeasts, Tennis Champs Returns, KickHero, Super Arc Light, and of course Monkey Swingers :) There's more too...

    So something I've been meaning to ask for input on... What hats would you like to see added to Monkey Swingers?

    When we first decided to put hats in the game, I was super-excited about making a fez for the monkey to wear. I though it would be kinda funny the way it would implausibly sit on his head and not fall off as he spins around. Then somewhere along the way, I actually forgot to make a fez so there isn't one in the game. Well, that's something I fully intend to rectify in an upcoming update :D

    But anyway, does anyone have any hat styles they'd like to see in Monkey Swingers? We can make your dreams come true!
