    i thikn this game is AWEOME.
    love halfbrick
    things i would love to see areeeeee
    changing controls so tapping either side of the screen (not little buttons wich i keep missing) to jump and shoot
    new enemies such as werewolves as everybody has already mentioned
    personally i dont love the sprite style i think the art for the ads and stuff for the game are btter i would love those graphics somehow in game but thats just me illkeep playing regardless

    I got two achievements, Monster Rush (Run 2km in a single run) and Monster Run (Run 5km in a single run), but not Monster Sprint (Run 1km in a single run). Is it a known problem?

    That would probably be the worst idea... I mean at least start realigning the characters and levels wrote a powerup

    That is one of the best ideas i have seen for retina updates so far, the game stays under 20mb and you can still download the retina update from within the game, genius!

    There really is no excuse now not adding retina support as it won't affect the 20mb limit doing it venans way.

    I finally bit the bullet and got this. It's AWESOME, is all I can say. It's Canabalt but with even more.

    Two suggestions to improve it-- please make a tap on the center of the screen pause (or at least offer the option). It can be a bit of a stretch to tap on that icon in the top left. Also, it would be great if you could include an option to have a 1-3 second pause after you unpause the game, so you can get your hands into position to play. I've seen this in other games and it is really useful.

    Great game. Looking forward to updates.

    But with even less: you can't slow down the pace.

    That's what I love about Canabalt. You have more control.

    I too find it really awkward to press the pause button. How about being able to tap a large portion of the top of the screen to pause, like this;

    [​IMG]

    There's still plenty of room to be able to shoot or jump comfortably.

    I'd like a short pause after you unpause the game as well.


    EDIT:

    I'm not saying either of the games are better or worse, but I don't quite think Canabalt has 'more'.

    I mean, in MD, there's a variety of monsters, landscapes and weapons; each of which vary the style of gameplay.

    Canabalt has a 3 colour pallete, a jump ability and a slow down feature.

    yeah, you can get as many as you can, no limit. I've had 7.

    But of course you can only get one per level, so you have to go pretty far without losing any, and actually get the hearts in each level. Not easy to do.
