    Have you guys ever thought about adding in new characters to play as? Such as hookbot- immunity to spikes but a slower punch due to his added weight

    The thought just came to me and I had to spit it out, even though it would probably unbalance the whole game

    Quick question for Madgarden/Kepa: are there only 9 random IAP prizes, or is the pool of possibilities larger? I hope it's the former, because the latter would make it impossible to unlock all the swanky new hats, and that would be sad. I only have the Officer's Cap so far (thanks to the Coin Doubler), but I'm looking forward to seeing what the others are.

    Kind of wish there was a way to get the "special prizes". Maybe like 1,000,000 coins a piece?

    I'm buying the coin doubler, and the $1.99 coin pack, but to buy 9 IAP's is kinda crazy.

    There's 9 total. 1 face item, 2 hair items, 6 hats. We may add a few more per update, though.

    Also, when you get an Ultra Hat, it can take on the appearance of any bonus hat you have unlocked. This includes the Mystery Item hats.

    I don't think we'll do this. We mostly did it this way because people wanted a way to pay us, without buying coins. So we did the Mystery Items and the Donate button and to a lesser extent, the Punchos Doubler.

    Kepa, is there any way you guys could implement a specific restore button for the Madgarden/Rocketcat hats (EDIT: cats? >_>) in a future update? Is that even possible? I mean what happens if I move on to a new device or (not gonna happen) delete Punch Quest? Those hats are gone for good? :/

    Puncho/XP doubler....so brilliant. :)

    My gnomey's level was reset with the update, the doubler IAP should get me leveling up much quicker now. Regardless, it might be something that might need to get checked out. :)

    Thanks again guys. Sweet update!

    The doubler shouldn't double the gnome XP... just his coins.

    Metalcasket: We're working on a way for us to just restore hats via support email. Until then, the only way to restore those hats is by iCloud sync.

    Sounds good to me. Definitely not in a hurry. *scratches beard* Hmmm...maybe I should look into finally using iCloud. >_>

    This game needs real (!) iCloud support.

    May I don't get it. Both iPad and iPhone are really far from being synced. May I am wrong …

    Thanks for the update ,but I think you got the rotation part wrong ! ,I meant that I couldn't play in landscape while the autorotation was disabled in iOS itself !!
    Which hasn't changed in this update

    Excellent Old-School Arcade Platformer meets Endless Runner on crack. There's 3 skills you can equip at a time, & a cool upgrade system where you can buy keys that unlock branching paths and some whacky goodness. You can also customize your hero with entertaining hats.

    The game isn't IAP heavy either; you can buy coins which are earned through gameplay. There's also no ads, which is refreshing for a free game this good.

    Download it! Like a Baus! #

    I have a suggestion also: make the "compact bar" the default in options instead of the expanded one - the big meter seems too distracting.

    So basically to get the bonuses we would be looking at $9 just if we donated? I don't think it would be an issue if it wasn't always screaming in our face whenever we go in to buy a new hat or such, something that is a regular occurrence once you've maxed everything else out.

    Also, how can we get the other hat, the Madragen (sp?) now that it's been removed? I was going to get that by purchasing the doubler, but when I updated, that hat was removed. Is that just one of the "Mystery" items? If so, that's a darn shame :(

    I would really like to see some new moves added in, and maybe a few variations to the quests. So far I've probably given close to $10 to this game, because of your hard work, because of your past commitment... But I am starting to get worried how much money this will eat up in the long run =\. I don't want it to be "THAT" kind of game.

    And for those that have had their gnome levels reset, the fact that they've kind of gotten dismissed and unanswered is a bit sad..

    The iCloud sync should only sync items you've bought in iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch devices, not quests, Punchos, or options. This means that your hats, faces, cosmetic items, boosts (?), and upgrades should go through iCloud via Key-Value Storage.

    Many other apps operate in this way. While I'd love ALL apps to use iCloud storage, it has some flaws. For one, devs don't have iCloud sync everything because it's easier for values to get mixed up by hacking or just bad data, so they only sync certain items (Fieldrunners 2: Sync only mission progress, not scores or money). Additionally, some apps just outright fail to sync with iCloud (Zombieville 2: Stopped syncing with iCloud for some unknown reason).

    We can probably make the banners less common, the more things you buy. Though then not sure what to do about people that want to see how many things they have left to unlock... maybe if the banners were in the same spot, but less eye catching if you bought something already?

    Can't get the hat anymore, but we're going to add a way for us to gift the hats to people if they lose them or feel that they missed them unjustly.

    Yeah, we're going to add new moves and quests.

    We have nothing in place to restore gnome levels, we didn't know it was going to be this common due to game deletion/reinstalls with this update. We can see if we can add that to iCloud support, but we're adding more to iCloud support slowly and cautiously. But yeah, we're not responding much to it because there's not much to say besides "sorry, we can't do anything there".

    Glad to report that I no longer have some of the issues that I've had in the past. Set the highest score for today as of this post, and 4th overall. Glad to see another leaderboard category being added, too.
