    How many different bosses are in this game?

    Does the game backup save files? I.e. If I delete the game and reinstall on a new device or my iPad will I be able to pick up where I left off?

    I think I'm hooked lol. This game really captures the sci-fi vibe that I've always been familiar with. I hope they continue to add to this game. This game has a ton of potential.

    The update that just came out has been pending approval since at least Thursday. The issues and work that 10tons have put into a new update have all been post-release.

    Yikes! Looks like we'll be waiting at least another week or two if they plan on fixing the issues. I always put my phone to sleep after a few floors for a few minutes because of how hot it gets!

    I would love to see the game getting more and more audio-visual glitches after each playthrough. Like the game world slowly get destroyed by all this hacking. That would be so awesome.

    Then finally it makes your phone pull a Samsung in the ultimate expression of rogue permadeath.

    Has this update been submitted for review? I know the one that was made available today was the one you were waiting for last week. Thanks.

    Battery saving mode could be available tonight but it depends on if the review goes through immediately - might take longer also. Also we need to make sure we're not breaking anything.

    The update today improved some MFi stuff, it was submitted last week already.

    Do you know if the battery saving mode also reduces the heat while playing?

    Yes. The device heats up as it tries to deliver you 60 frames of gaming goodness. In normal mode the game uses all available processing power to do this. This is somewhat common in high end games but we understand why people might want less heat and power drain.

    In battery saving mode the game will "sleep" a lot more. This reduces the frame rate which requires less processing power which reduces battery drain and heat output. In battery saving mode you trade frame rate for decreased power consumption.

    We're also considering a "30 fps mode". We've learned that many similar games are hard limited to 30fps which works on higher end devices that can do stable 30fps with lot less effort than 60fps. Personally I'm more of a 60fps guy and don't mind the heat :) However, we can let people decide by implementing it as an option.

    Letting people decide with these options sounds like a great idea to me :)

    You guys must be master gamers or something. This seems plenty challenging. I still haven't beaten the second boss (damn robo-worm!), and I'm on asset #20. I keep this up, and we'll see what happens when you use all 100!

    Cool. I like having options myself. If I find it isn't quite as enjoyable in battery saving mode, might just have to put some kitchen mitts on while I play. ;) It's not scolding, of course, but annoying enough.

    We'll see. Thanks for addressing it!

    I really like the in-game music. Can you guys possibly add more music like it in future updates?

    Fwiw, I finally got past #2 on my fifth or sixth try. The next two were cakewalks in comparison. Still on that same run.
