    I checked it on my ipod touch with iOS 6 and my short name is already sink_or_swim, not sure why it's not showing on the leaderboards.

    It works for me on iOS 7

    You need to go into the settings on ios7 scroll down to gamecentre then profile, then sign in and you can change nickname from there.

    I think if you turn the public profile off then it won't show your real name, laser can you confirm, does my real name show?

    Joe Blogs? oO that's not me :D

    I just want sink_or_swim to be the name that is visible on the gc-leaderboards. For example.. I see your real name on the leaderboards and not cloudpuff

    @Lazer_Cat I see your real name on the leaderboards also

    Urrrgh cant stand these types of games. I tried Super Hexagon as i heard so many people raving about it but i found it so frustrating. Problem is with sooo many iOS games out there, released every week and also amount of games i have on my device, if i get frustrated by a game quickly then its so easy to give up and switch to something else

    I see your real name

    What do you guys see on mine? Can't find me?
    I'm way at the bottom of every game you own.

    It should say "jeremicci" or "lazerkatttt".

    I think I figured it out
    In GC it lists your "Nickname" to everyone besides your GC friends.
    To your friends, it lists your name. This is my theory anyway.

    Thank you sir

    Try groove vortex, it is much easier, and better ipad retina graphics and better suited for for casual play. I am liking it alot now, it just released this weekend.

    Also Duet game if you don't have it.

    I felt the exact same way about SH. Don't give up on the genre, though. I hated SH, but Duet and Boson X are two of my favorites.

    It says your "real name" is lazercat and on my friend list you show up as your real name.

    Yeah. So I think my theory is correct.
    It only shows your name to friends (still, that's not ideal).

    Never realised that before, hope none of you are loons, lol, yeah I would rather cloudpuff shows up, it's easier to remember who is who. Hmmmm, maybe making a separate Apple ID for gamecentre would work but seems like bit of a faff.

    Yeah I think your theory is correct, but if you have public profile on then I could recommend you to someone else and they would see your real name etc, that's what I think the text under the settings mean.

    So if you guys picked up Catch.22 today, if you could leave your honest impressions on the C.22 thread I'd really appreciate it.

    Also, again...is anyone using the game on ios7?

    Back to the thread:
    I feel the need to mention a couple of the forefathers of the genre, so here's the obligatory Impossible Game, and Cannabalt reference.

    Edit: here's another one that may be worth a shot. 8-Bit HD. There's a lite version for you guys to try out.
