    We've found the bug and we're working on a fix. Should be ready soon. We'll keep you updated here.

    It's a graphics/shader issue that's affecting certain devices.

    Hey, Fraoula! Just curious if I'm blind or stupid: How do I select the difficulty after the update? Can't seem to figure it out.

    Hi! You're neither blind nor stupid :D It's a new bug, introduced when we hurried to correct that previous crash-bug. We'll upload the fix soon.

    Hehehe. You need two cans of bug spray! I told you to buy two. You didn't listen and now look what happened one bug slipped through!

    I finally made it to 25 percent on the 6th level. You guys are sadists. This level is brutal lol

    Yeah, one bug out, one bug in :) We were in a real hurry to fix that crash, 1-star ratings were accumulating rapidly.

    But good news is that we're also implementing iCloud save along with this new bugfix.

    Congrats on 25%! Do you think 6th level is harder than the 5th? We've had a few people finish it on all difficulties soon after it became available.

    fraoula no! Damn Level 5's second and third part! I didn't throw my Air 2 because of Apple's GameCenter bug but I was gonna do it if I fail at Level 5 one more time. Seriously why you do this? ;(

    Finally I managed to pass level 5 and got second part of level 6 at my second try. That's right Billy. SECOND TRY! (Just teasing but I really hit the wall once, don't know how I did it)

    One last thing I have a secret that you want to know about Neon Drive. What have you got for me fraoula? ;)

    A secret? Can't wait for you to tell us more :D How about a Steam key once the PC/Mac version is out?

    The difficulties are missing after the addition of level six. I'm at 181% on level 1 and 100 on the remaining 5 and it's bothering me. AMAZING game though. Graphics pulled me in faster than the speed of the light. The trail lights are by far my favorite part.

    Whoa, wasn't expecting to see this go premium. Great job, fraoula...you don't see that happening much these days.

    Well, I would want that but I feel like a scammer already because I've downloaded Neon Drive when it first came out (free with ads) and I never paid for anything. Now it's premium so I need to buy at least PC version.

    But how about something special? Something like that is gonna shine on my 27" monitor and it's gonna be exclusive for me (at least for a while). That's right I'm talking about wallpaper. Because Neon Drive one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen.

    I'll send a PM later today.

    Thanks, we've mistakenly switched off the difficulties while working on a crash fix. We've corrected that but it will take time for Apple to approve. We can't ask them for an expedited review since it's not a game-breaking bug as the last one was. It should be available in a few days.

    Thanks! That's a great idea! We will render her in HD for Steam promo materials, might as well make a wallpaper ;)

    Yeah, it's rare these days :cool: We couldn't really make it premium back when it only had 3 levels. We'll see how it works out.

    Sure! We can make you a wallpaper of the Steam version of the city level with all the fancy effects turned on :cool: It's gonna be a timed-exclusive for you until launch.

    Or if you wish some other HD screenshot from the current iOS version?

    Totally awesome!! Does she have a name yet? If not, I have a few suggestions: :D

    * Sora-chan - sora as in "sky", could also be a reference/homage to Hajime Sorayama, whose work I believe was an inspiration for her design?

    * Mirai-chan - I really like the sound of "mirai", meaning "future" in Japanese. I would even suggest giving her a last name, as Kako Mirai, which would mean "Past Future" in allusion to the retro-futuristic nature of the game.

    * Hikari-chan - which means "light", also used in Japanese for technology like optical fiber and opto-magnetic disks.

    We just call her Robotess. Your suggestions are awesome! I really like the sound and meaning of Mirai-chan/Kako Mirai, but Sora-chan is also great as a respect for mr Sorayama. Yes, of course his '80s-iconic work was the basis for her design.

    Let's not rush with the decision :D Which one do you like best?

    Cool, I'm glad you liked the ideas! =]

    Well, I really really like Mirai. It sounds cute and it's meaningful. If you decide to go with the full name, we can still call her Mirai-chan for short, right? ;)

    You're right, Mirai sounds awesome. As for Sorayama, the reference should be obvious.

    She has a name then! Thanks! :D
