    Nice update guys! Think my fave outfit is the one in the keep-fit gear, as I think the Ninja is a bit dark :) It'd be nice to have them as unlockables (maybe for getting all medals in a world, for example?)..

    Are there medals to unlock with the QR levels by the way? And when you unlock one does it appear within the menus? I've not managed to snare any yet so I'm not sure how it'll work.

    Really impressed with the way you can click a barcode and the game launches; have no idea how it works but it's very clever!

    Can we form a list of all QR levels here? Think I've only played the TouchGen one so far so I'll start the list :)

    Ugh, I didn't much care for the last icon but this one even worse imo.

    I'd like to see a close-up shot of Mos jumping for the icon. Retro icons are the best.

    The update is great. The new icon is horrible. Looks like a cheap MS Paint pic for a cheap amateur flash game. Please bring back the old one. Or a similar one.

    I like the new icon. your personal robot has clearly never used MS Paint, which I suppose is quite lucky in a way ;)

    I also liked the old icon for the retro look. Either is good for me :)

    I don't care for the icon either but the update has improved this game so much. I guess I can forgive Nick.:D

    The new icon is 'meh'. I like the old one more.

    You will be adding more Mos's in the future right? *cough*homer*cough*

    :D

    I hate to point out the glaringly obvious (lies; actually, I love it) but you really should be calling these Mostumes.

    Fantastic game, btw.

    Hi buddy, they're both listed on the Physmo site, on the left hand side. Don't know if there are any others though. Completed the TouchGen one, but there don't seem to be any medals available which is a bit of a shame? Here's the link anyway :)

    I'm thinking the lean away from pop culture and recognisable characters was probably intentional.

    Good to see the purple gym gear though, thanks Physmo :)

    Nick said they wanted to keep in with the Mos theme for the first update, but that they were likely to open it up a bit more depending on feedback. So there! :p

    Okie dokie, sorry it took a while but finally got around to making a video of 2-5. Not my best run ever, but it shows you the path I take and is a sub 24 second run.
