    Hello again,

    we have been working on the lag issue which was a much bigger thing we thought and was caused by multiple things. But it seems to be working fine now, so we are including the fixes to next update that will be sent to review hopefully today.

    We are also doing some fixes for the maps as there seems to be few easy (and boring) ways to gain good scores. And because there was also this bug that caused extra seconds for every minute you gained, we are now thinking of reseting the leaderboards.

    How do you feel about these things? Is it ok to do slight redesign to the maps? The Game Center leaderboard reset should be a good thing as it makes competition fair to everyone starting from the new update.

    No problems here.

    Besides wanting to drive my muscle car in the cemetary, i just have one nitpicking little wish. Call your game PAKO, simple as this.

    Left a five star review in my store (twice) but it doesn't show up, still. Pretty screwed lately.

    Reset the Leaderboards once a week. Also, I *beg* the Dev to put the 'running clock' at the top center of the screen - there is just no way to keep an eye on it while playing on an iPad.

    Just made 2:06 minutes with muscle car, showing 3:26 on GC, lol.

    I rather have the time down between my thumbs and that bar on top as a little sight addition to the screen. Reading some ratings in the app store, this would be very welcomed.

    Edit: erh...no bar on top of course, just more sight

    I agree with these changes, it was quite easy, and boring, to find a line on some of the maps (looking at you Mall and Suburbia!) to get very high scores, actually could play these maps forever in essence. Hopefully such exploits can be removed and most definitely leaderboards should be reset.

    Another idea would be to play a sound when the player beats their best score.

    Or even better, play a sound for the 5 seconds before their best score, so they get excited about staying alive long enough to beat their best score.

    Update live now

    Hello, its been a while but now the latest update is here.

    So What's New in Version 1.02?

    + improved performance
    + fixed Game Center related bug
    + added option to use dynamic shadows
    + added social media links
    + minor bug fixes
    + minor graphic improvements
    + improved playability
    + new screenshots

    So if you go to settings screen you can toggle on shadows, which are nice but require a bit faster device. There you can also find links to fb and twitter cause we need followers. And also a link to AppStore cause we need ratings too ;)

    And yes, we are going to reset the leaderboards soon.

    Yes... Unless you've implemented the option to race with any car on any map for greater challenges ;)
