    Great game, I've played most levels dozens of times but still it's hard to get a flawless or every letter. But it's a lot of fun :) and I reached 2.400m in the endless mode, a few days ago I never thought I would make it past the 1.500m :D

  5. Just read the TA review, wow, they were fast on getting the review. And it was great review and spoke highly of the game, so that is cool. Glad I changed my vote from crazy taxi to your game, cause your game is very good, and I hope you have good luck with future sales. Congrats.

    Hey thanks bud :) Yeah this is a whirlwind of good tidings. Although we picked tonight as the night to switch the Limited Time pricing...I hope that doesn't upset people :S

    It was funny because as I was announcing the week long sale being over, one of my partners messages me that TA put out review up hahaha Fingers crossed :)

    Though, and don't forget, you can get Kunundrum for free for a limited time, just as a YAY WE DID IT celebration hahaha :D

    Congrats to the devs on the really excellent TA review, although I think the game deserves at least 5 stars. I hope the sales numbers reward you guys and we can see more quality games from you.

    Don't let the positive response from the gaming media (everyone's giving this game 4/5 and above) get to your head. Continue churning out top quality games. So long you guys stay clean of IAPs, you can count me in as a customer :)

    Hopefully your next games has a cool gameplay mechanic, and builds on better visuals.

    Well deserved GotW winner here. Never felt compelled to vote on anything until now. Been playing so much going for all the letters and specials, not to mention trying for flawless as well, that I've all but worn the fingerprints off my two thumbs. :)

    It seems to be absolutely impossible to get the Special in this screenshot!
    What am I missing?

    Btw, it took some doing to capture this shot while playing on my iPad.
    My reflexes have certainly been heightened by this game.. :)
    Of course, I did die...

    It's on level 36.

    You jump when you're blue (so upside down), go through the last bomb and then switch gravity immediately

    Holy Smoke!
    That's tricky. :eek:

    I'll give that a spin.
    Thank you very much for the heads up. Or, heads down, in this case... :D

    EDIT:
    Made it through. Easy, when you know the trick... :)
    Thanks again.

    Dude, go get it already!!! Many of us who got it for $0.99 will attest to the fact that the game is easily worth three times that amount.

    Defred is right.
    Buy the game, you won't regret it, I all but guarantee it.

    The Dev warned us in advance of the price increase, he also did so in the comment section on the review on the main page of TA.

    He did the right thing, instead of charging full price from his early adopters, only to lower the price after a couple of days, he did the opposite.

    I'm sure your both right about the game. I'm just not going to rush out and get a $15 iTunes card for a $3 purchase. I'm one of those that no longer ties a credit card to my accounts after the play station fiasco. Sry wasn't trying to take the conversation here, was just bumbed to find that waiting for the review meant I will now have to wait for a price drop after missing the price increase deadline.

    You seriously pin your buy/no buy of a game on TA reviews? I mean, seriously, the review is all but one man's opinion on games. I've seen those crazy guys give 5 stars for a game that imho deserves no more than say, 4. And I've also seen them give 2 stars for a game that at least deserves 3.5.

    Moral of the story, TA reviews are unimportant in making an informed decision on buying or not. Worse still if you actually look at their ratings, which are mostly terrible. You have the forums here, where tens of gamers share their impression. Surely that's worth more than one man's opinions.

    ^ True. TA reviews arent meant to be THE rating for the game, but rather it's good to know of another point of view on how a game fares.

    If you waited for TA's review to buy the game, you deserve the higher price. :D

    Im sure TA is busy in their everyday TA and real lives, so you musnt wait for a certain somebody's review to buy or not buy a game. That's why there are forums, so you get the down and dirty in a more timely manner. Sure, TA's review may differ from the majority on forums, but in the forums, you should be able to see the pros and cons of a game to help you decide already.

    If you were following the game on the forums, you could even prevent missing sales like the current one. :)
