    A leaderboard entry for "overall time in world 1 (2,3,...)" would be a nice addition, too. Levels that were not played yet could count as 99.99s

    Good idea! Yet only qualify after completing all levels...

    YEs, that has to be included. Just to see it would be very cool. I guess I'd be like 9th


    hey! Touch Controls are live

    Kris has nice ideas going for endless but the system can't run them yet.

    When using touch controls you cannot release the accelerate "button" without losing control, can you?

    Exactly you release left button and the plane stabilizes horizontal and slows down.

    And we're aiming for the "real" update in three weeks from now:
    endless, global leaderboard, and all the other suggestions taken from here that make it to v1.1

    Great! Thank you!!!

    Another question: you obviously made small changes on track 2-6 between v1.0 and v1.03. Did you touch other tracks, too?

    Great work devs! Loved artstyle, musics and your humour taste :)

    Now waiting for those updates. Also can you add options to hangar? Than maybe customize pigeon ha? Hehe.

    Hey cy@n, I can´t find those changes. I compared v1.02 to current live v1.03. Tomorrow I'll compare current version against v1.0
    No changes were made to the tracks on purpose and although we've been careful to keep the new endless code separated from the stage design code, "things" might have happened. A little.


    There's nothing to spend the surplus coins on right now, so yes, more items must be added. .

    I was quite sure i couldn't go straight in level 2-6 without steering until the drones appear in v1.00 in contrast to v1.03...

    A bit late to the party with this, but I downloaded it a couple of days ago and I'm having a lot of fun. I can't quite get near the scores of cy@n and Cowboy.Henk but I've managed to get in or very near the top 10 on almost every level.

    I think I was 153rd on Game Center to complete the game. It's quite interesting to see the total number of people who've completed each level, especially when you can see a big drop from one level to the next and you know you're in for a challenge!

    Also, you've got to love a game where you can get the 25th-fastest score in the world and it's still only enough for second place against the AI (9.71s on 5-7)!

    Hey Mr. Bez!
    That’s a level we could never get 1st place in. In the end we just had to slow the pigeons down until we could.
    It’s great to see the rankings three weeks in. We knew it would just look too cool once a lot of people played it.
    So glad you liked the game!

    Strategy for level 5-7 for instance: Use all the boost as early as possible after the start then try to (re)gain boost from the leader after going up and use it to go straight through the second last rock at the bottom ... this should give you a 9.5x at least

    The main trick is to boost the pigeon to full speed asap after the start. Booster is on, when the pigeon turns white. The rest is steering and lots of trial and error. See you soon on top of the leaderboard mr_bez! :)

    And the next question: Do have 5-3 and 5-7 the same level design?

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'd figured this out myself eventually. Still can't quite touch you on most levels, but I did get to number one on two of them (I forget which ones)!
