    I agree fully. Since I bought this game, it's been the one I've come back to most. I just wish there was a resume feature.

    I find it very simple to jump off branches. You can use the whole screen, not just the part from the branch. The only thing that could be improved would be to swipe from below the branch, but then your finger might go off the screen so in the end it's better this way.

    Yes, haven't played it in a few days but I'll start again tonight and send you a snapshot as soon as it happens.

    To the person above that says flicking the Trees is easy, well a few of us have complained about it so maybe it could be easier.

    What is wrong with the trees? All I do is pull in the oposite direction that I want to fling myself. The further I pull away from the tree the farther I go. You can also adjust if you want to be flung to the tree on the left or right.

    This game plays and looks amazing on the iPad. Definitely one of my better purchases lately

    Um, yes, multiplayer would be amazing. Ideas off the top of my head:

    1. HORSE - turn-based short-length (50-100m?) sections of varying difficulties to see who trips up first (or fifth if playing horse, I guess)
    2. Race to a set height
    3. Who can get the furthest in a set amount of time
    4. Survival - lots of beehives to keep people moving
    5. Vs. - maybe throw in a few vs. specific power ups that give you an advantage with the lead, i.e. speeds up enemies below, spawns an enemy at that location
    6. Co-op - i.e. tree branches that require 2 people to bend, the ability to slingshot the other player, ripe to pull the other player up to you, two-seater epic moustaches

    Clearly all very idealistic, although the horse game seems very possible and convenient (wouldn't need both people on their phone at the same time).

    Nonetheless, incredible game. Just got destroyed by a triple fireball.

    Great game.. keep updating with new enemies and powerups like in DoodleJump and this will stay atop the leader boards for a while to come

    I agree with a few of the posts on the past couple of pages. Add new stuff and this will constantly be played. Also, I'm all for a checkpoint system, perhaps you could lay down a checkpoint at a random interval and have one chance to make it past that area again after you die, i.e. A second chance.

    Finally broke 1k. This and Fruit Ninja are my two most played casual games atm.

    Ninja powers are to be feared.

    This sounds insane as I read it, but I've put in 10 hours into this game. And I still can't beat my initial score of 1722.

    Heh, I'm about to hit the 3 hour mark, and my high is 1824. Lately I can't get past 1200 or so... I really hope an update adds the option of beginning at a certain height once you've made it that high on your own. Being able to start at 1k (nightfall) or 1.5 (daybreak) would be amazing. I keep playing really sloppy because the first thousand feet are so easy.

    Exactly the same here mate. As I said earlier, it would be awesome to have a flag you can lay down and get one more shot starting from there once you die initially.

    Yeah I definitely didn't expect the background to turn into night. I think I died the first time from awe. My favorite power up has always been the one that transforms you into a stump.

    OK so I am completely loving this game! But there is just one problem that is really frustrating me. There are times when I climb too high on one side and my only option is to jump to the other side. And when I jump the only place I can land is in the purple sap. You should be able to touch a certain area and jump to that. I understand this would take some of the difficulty away, but I still think if you want to jump a shorter distance than you should be able to.

    These seem like great ideas. I hope a couple get implemented.

    Edit: I'm getting annoyed at how slow this game is.

    Are the 'This Week' and 'All Time' tabs under Stats broken? Right now I can only see the stats for today. Anyone else with the same issue?

    I was thinking, it would be awesome if we could get a powerup that throws shuriken at the devils, like a true ninja.

    My bad. Turned out that I wasn't signed into Plus+ today, weird.
