    Why is it so rampant in all the games? How are they hacking them in the first place. It's literally almost every major game.

    Crossy Roads got the Everyplay treatment. I hope this will get the tech so those of us that want to show off our skills can

    Low self esteem? Where there's a will, there's a way? Is it a jailbreak thing? I do find it interesting that a lot of the hacked scores are the exact same score. The highest hacked score is repeated in the top 41 scores and a ridiculous score too. 9 quintillion, really? Why stop there...

    I suspect it's just stupid hex editing or something like that that the cheaters are using. They are just finding the largest integer that the game will accept as a high score and entering it in to the string where the HS is recorded. It doesn't make any sense as there's no benefit to them that I can see. It's obviously a fake score so it's not like they get any glory from appearing to have mastered the game. At best they get the "glory" of being one of a few dozen or a few thousand people who have way too much free time and nothing better to do than screw up other peoples entertainment...I don't know why devs don't at least put a max score limit on the boards to eliminate the goofy scores.

    Not sure why the leaderboards can't be cleaned once a day. It can't take that much effort.

    Unfortunately it's a HUGE effort to clean out. Apple definitely don't make it easy :(

    It's something the team at Bandai Namco are looking into though, so stay tuned for some form of clean up at some stage!

    Yay for fixes!

    Cloud saves are on our "to look into" list... no eta at the moment, sorry.
    If we do add cloud saving, it'll likely be Manual push and pull. Too many horror stories of data stomps with auto cloud syncs :(

    Still addicted to this and play it daily.

    Will you fix the random crashes? Also my device (Mini 2) heats up too much while I play this, will there be any performance related improvements? The heating is really annoying.

    While the bugs the update intended to fix did work, they've introduced new ones. I've had ghosts sit there and I go right through them. I've had sound glitches where it constantly sounds like you are eating pellets even while viewing ads and upgrading power ups. The pellet chomping sound only stops after a new game is started.

    Just a bunch of small weird glitches that were NOT there before the update. I, however, have not had any crashes.

    Devs have others complained of the wrist bugs I've experienced?

    Also I really don't get people. Have you guys read the AppStore reviews? People are consistently saying they just wait forever to play. How terrible. It must be frustrating for the developers. I'd want to punch each one of them in the mouth lol. They can play non stop for as long as they want. They just won't get power ups without the credits. The game is totally fun even with just the power pellets. The Devs should put in an upgrade for the pellets that do increase their time and frequency of appearance. This would make the game more fun for those that don't want to pay.

    We have our next update already in the Apple review queue.

    That crash bug fix & lots of other fixes are in there :)

    No performance improvements on the way in the next update as the game is as optimised as it's going to get right now. Have you tried turning on conserve battery? That will drop the game to 30fps and help with heat.

    A future update will allow you to turn off the background particles and background flashing effects if you want, so that might also help.

    ThnX m'Lord! I wuz also a bit upset that those that complained to be "waiting forever" missed the very visible "Free Play no PU". You either support the Devs or be cool with the options of play they provide. Plus they are very generous with vid earnings to wind down the time once your skills are up. I used it to my advantage. I didn't think i could get very far w/o any PUs. It is very possible you can wit juz PPs. My load out to get the double =

    I really hope they include in future updates his Wife & Kid wit implementing Everyplay or Kamcord tech so we can have mo fun wit this great piece of Videogame history.

    Still giving this one-handed played pearl a go every day. Actually, everytime i have a sit-in ;)

    Yesterday i almost lost my two legs because i was s(h)itting for too long with my new record score of 35k. Considering those (still but always) hacked scores, i'm definitely under the best 1000 players out of 4.1 millions. Yes, i'm very proud.

    And thanks for the free 2048 coins, supplementary.
