    Yeah well as I said before, just because there's a problem doesn't mean you should be directing all this hate at the developers. They did test the game and they are trying to fix it. Being mean isn't gonna help at all.

    I've restarted it.. yes...

    The Game is pretty cool, but there are imho still a few game elements missing which really would improve the game, like combos for example.

    but its really great already, so don't miss it :)

    I'm sure the updates are coming ;-)

    **EDIT**

    Strange... after a few retrys with deactivating and activating the facebook connect feature, now the game is working as expected ... :-D
    woohoooo...

    myabe just a co-incidence, but it started working after I played the gravity mode the first time...

    Hi all

    Sorry about the inconvenience caused by the crashing online high score. At the moment it looks like the crash only happens on iPhone 3GS.

    We did not get any crashlogs till now but it seems that the game crashes while synchronizing the high scores. The workaround is to disable the online ranking in the game.

    At the moment we are trying to solve the problem, it would help us a lot if we get some crashlogs to nail down the bug.

    Please send your crash logs to [email protected].

    I already changed my plans for the weekend :)
    We are keeping you in the loop...

    I'm using an unjailbroken 3G iPhone with the latest (3.1) os.

    I have restarted.

    Game always crashes when accessing anything network related and also crashes very frequently (evert five games or so) during play.

    I'm based in the uk (if that matters!).

    I'm going to stop playing now and wait for a fix - yes, I'm disappointed however what I've seen of this game is astounding. It's addictive, slick and perfect for the idevice. I hope these teething issues don't hamper sales. Deserves to do well.

    [edit] turned off online mode and no in game crashes so far - so looks like it IS online access breaking it even during a game. Not just 3gs though - I have just a 3g... But if you guys want to ship me a 3gs to test with, feel free ;-)

    Cheers

    Just when it started to frustrate me more than anything, I managed to get 27 as my highscore. Nice :)
    I agree with the multipliers by the way. Would be nice if you could get a better score that way.

    If it helps with the crash, the game plays flawlessly on the 3GS, until you visit the high score area the first time, then it crashes out each time.

    Other than that high score crashing bug, don't change anything about this game. The gameplay mechanics are superb and the game is silky smooth. I love the fact that after playing pure for a whole day, my high score is 10 and I am proud of that score so far.

    I don't want bonus points for combos or power ups or any of the other nonsense that so many people think a game needs. I hit a 5 explosion combo and the woo wo hoo woo was plenty for me.

    It really does have that compelling, just one more game aspect to it - especially when my average score is usually about 3.

    Really? I would change all sorts of things; the scoring is too low and multipiers would help, it's too hard too control the scale of a ball, swipe to shoot might be a preferable shooting method (although you would lose the timing element), and bounces of your shot past the line should not be an end-game condition, the ball itself should.

    Or you could just leave it as-is and lower the price to $1 and no one would mind.

    Don't get me wrong, the graphics and polish are amazing, even down to the animated company logo. That's why I was somewhat surprised that the gameplay wasn't addictive, because the devs obviously have good attention to detail.

    I am afraid that's not the case. After I activated the facebook-connection, the game crashes every time I finish. I own a 3G 16GB which is not jailbroken. I really love it and I hope you can fix the problem and let me know how to work around this. It's just no fun having to restart the game every time I finish.

    And yes: I did a reboot and de- and re-installed the game.

    *sigh*

    At the moment the only workaround i know of is to play in offline mode, to disable online high scores go to the settings screen -> online wizard -> no

    Perhaps disabling only the facebook-connection works too, we have not found the cause of the crash yet. Let me know if disabling facebook works for you.

    Does it matter if the online connection is over the mobile network or WLAN?

    Awesome! That's great news!

    Ever since I turned off net access, this hasn't crashed once and I've been playing it absolutely SOLID! Whoever said this isn't addicting... it really, really is. I agree with whoever said don't change a thing... who cares if the scoring is low? It's just that... a score... multiply it by a million if a bigger number makes you feel better though ;-)

    LOVE this. An absolute gem.

    Jamie.
