    Totally awesome game for 99¢! Great job, HTW guys. Even at $2.99 it would be worth it, but I wouldn't have take the chance on it then, to be honest. So thanks for the launch sale. I'm up to Lvl 26 so far, taking my time with the story while completing all the challenges. Love the soundtrack in the 20+ levels, really ups the tension and following the rhythm of the music and the timing of the sound effects really helps me get in the groove. I notice that if you time things correctly, they sound like part of the BGM. Very well done on that part. The way new mechanics are introduced and the pacing are both done very well. I don't agree at all that difficulty needs to be reduced. The checkpoint system is more than adequate to cater for 'casual' gamers. Can't wait to see what levels 30+ are like!

    So far, so good :)

    True, but I think of it as an endless runner since you do have the normal mode at the beginning, and because of the gameplay. This game is awesome, good replay value, good length, and good selection of game modes.

    I will try this tactic. I guess blue'd be my base color. Currently, I feel the game's screwing with my mind...color management is pretty tough here.

    Holiness, you're pretty good at controlling your mind I reckon. I'm now at Lvl 44, but I've only played all levels just the once. Will round replaying them after completing the full story. Otherwise it'd get too tedious for me. :)

    Great job exact-psience. I lack the mental fortitude that you possess so I'll only attempt getting PERFECT games until after I beat the final boss.

    Btw, did you get POLARA, the special object and FLAWLESS in one run? I'm guessing not...but who knows.

    I grew up on ridiculously hard NES games so I'm well used to repeating levels till you can '3-star' them, in modern terms. :)
     
  7. While I won't go this far cause I like the game, on the new ipad, the game doesn't look very good to me either, if you are going to make it $3, please make it ipad retina cause it doesn't quite look so great on my new ipad. Only real complaint.

    Otherwise, game is much funner than I thought from the youtube vids and such, can see why many like this game and SVs good review. The higher levels, do they have more colors? Cause that would be cool. Would be cool too if you could shoot colored shots too.

    Bought. Downloading now. Sanuku's video and the developer response sold me - game looks great and seems to have active/interested developers.

    Good luck, guys. =)

    What do you mean by that? Is 17 your highest number of deaths, or lowest?

    Lol I hated this game. I must be the only one, it just didn't click with me (and I like most runners).

    Only played first 10 levels but so far im loving. Controls are very simple but you still get great variety in each mission. Boss battle was nice touch too. Checkpoints makes sure you can enjoy it even if you casual gamer like me as i died 30 times already. For 99 cents its worth getting for anyone who likes endless runners.

    Yeah im finding the endless mode pretty brutal too at the moment, but its so much fun that I really dont mind, for sure one of my favorite runners of the year.

    It definitely will build your coordination over time, almost like drumming, you'll get into a rhythm...funny thing is I don't even pay attention anymore and die maybe twice a level now?

    KEEP CALM AND PLAY ON ;)

    I suck at this game. 90 deaths on level 26. LOL!

    I tried clearing apps and rebooting but so far the only way I can play is to turn wifi off. Not a huge problem but if there is a fix in the future that would be great.

    Ahhh sorry man, we've got another title called Kunundrum that is puzzley goodness. It's 160 levels, about 12-15 hours of gameplay for a buck!

    There's a lite version if you'd like to try it out.

    We'll try harder next time for ya :)
