    yeah but it wouldn't be much fun if the hearts were too easy to get, would it?

    Yeah it's amazing if you play it correctly.

    That's the tactic I employ now as well. But it's still my least favorite weapon in the game.

    THe other ones aren't that good either...the pacifier only has 6 ammo and the electric shock one is the only other good one.

    I was writing the script for Age of Zombies and needed to come up with the main character (as they character they had in that particular build was simply a faceless dude).

    I remember a George Carlin comedy routine where he was talking about badass male names. Chuck Steak. Biff Webster etc. So I used Barry, my middle name and the name of the legendary Barry Burton from Resident Evil, and Steakfries because it sounded manly. I don't know about in the US, but in Australia we actually have things called steakfries - basically just large, flat fries with crispy batter, usually served with steak.

    And that's the story!

    Really digging your new game, Halfbrick, updates and such will make this legendary for sure. It gets really fun and intense past 4000 and has become my new favorite quick-play game :)

    I hope I'm not repeating other suggestions too much, but I certainly have a couple. First off is the occasional iffy heart placement, but that's been brought up. Also, I've had a few issues with the jump button not responding, like a couple other TA members. I'm not sure if I was stuck in lag from shooting or what, but there's been more than a dozen times when I pressed the button in the correct spot only to plummet to my doom

    Finally, as an iPhone 4 owner, I feel obligated to ask for full retina support. The game looks and runs amazing as is, but I'm just in love with the high res display. And I guess I can reiterate the "more weapons more environments" but that's kinda obvious.

    Anyway really good stuff, I hope Monster Dash climbs even higher in the charts!

    Hey guys!

    Thanks for all the feedback! We have now submitted the first update to Apple, and we think its pretty badass :D

    A lot of you guys have mentioned the trappy style of heart placement, and we have addressed that... you shouldn't find yourself perfectly lined up, falling down a hole any more. Woo!

    We also fixed all the achievements you guys pointed that were broken, thanks for giving us the heads up on that stuff.

    There were plenty of other bits and pieces fixed as well... but then there is the main event...

    You guys will just have to wait and see what is in the box :D

    Finally I'll have all the achievements :D (except for that monster lover one. That one is really really tough. Just died on 1897 yesterday trying for that >.< )

    Yeah, Monster Lover is the hardest achievement in the game for my money. Extremely satisfying when you get it though, plus it has my favourite achievement icon :)

    Is a power-up in the box? Such as being a Monster that won't get hurt when meets monsters?
