    Same here as I get older some games seem to get harder if they require too many quick movements.

    Looking forward to the update

    Just a quick update. We've added checkpoints! (For free)

    We've also tested the insane difficulty modes. Finished Level 4 on insane after 647 attempts :D

    The update is coming soon, it's pending Apple review.


    Can you guess which '80s movie inspired Level_5? :D

    Cool, Blade Runner!

    So you do take inspiration from movies.. Level 3 reminded a lot of TRON!

    Yes, Blade Runner :)

    We're inspired by everything '80s. In this section of the level even the music is reminiscent of Vangelis's work for the movie.

    Gotta say I like the game, but that top down perspective shift in the first track is awful. It's undoubtably been said before, but the sudden change is very jarring and worst of all, the car doesn't feel anywhere near as responsive as the normal behind the car camera.

    I can easily get to that part, but it just feels wrong. I know it sounds whiny (and I don't intend it to) but it's the main thing stopping me from removing those ads. Does this happen again in the other levels?

    It does not happen in any other level. I have them all.

    As Billy said, it doesn't happen in other current levels. Something similar does happen in new Level4.

    We've heard your feedback regarding that dreaded top-down. It's much easier in the update. No obstacles, just a few cars here and there. All the obstacles remained unchanged on hard and insane difficulty levels.

    You'll also have a checkpoint right before the topdown shift.

    The code for car controls doesn't change, only perspective. If you follow the music, it's quite easy. Try to relax and listen to the music, or just wait for the update :) should be out soon.

    Thank you Billy! Much appreciated.


     
  19. nice update! I like the car rocking back and forth as you change lanes, and the obstacles sitting up a little higher was a great idea

    Thanks. Yes, we got some feedback on the car behavior earlier, that it was "lifeless". Definitely was :)
