    A great experience!
    I would like to have more people from TA in my leaderboards though, so please feel free to add me. Nick is in my signature

    Totally agree! This is the game I keep coming back to this week. Feels so great when you jump and are flying through the air.

    And I'm not MIA! Haha. I should be on the leaderboard somewhere. Probably low in the list =) My high score is only in the 60K range so far. Haven't managed to pass Region 2 yet.

    I've only been using the edges of the screen (turn sharper) and not the middle for turning. Anyone else?

    lol - sorry! Not used to that...

    Edges here - I didn't really notice a difference between edges and center, so I just do my turns in staccato bursts. Seems to work just fine... Portals are open to me as of this morning - will try to hunt one down in a bit when I'm done with work. And so far I find it easier on iPad than iPhone.
    *edit - just took a look - I'm already forced back in the 70's... I guess all the folks that've been playing this on PC have gotten the mobil version...

    I have never played this before and I find it pretty easy as runners go.

    Now level 21 - high score: 819,252

    Also made it to Region 3 and died after running out of solar energy. Everything was dark. Couldn't find the light. Slowing down... Slower... BOOM. Dead.

    I have the option of equipping a boost that lets you store 2 jumps. But I missed my magnet. It's really useful. You can even attract power ups while in the air.

    My 3rd tier mission is to do 20 barrel rolls in a single run. I never do anywhere near that many. And when I try to, I end up colliding with a mountain. I'll get it. I can do this.
     
  8. Omg people are too good at this game. I finally made it past region 2, even to region 4. Was really proud of myself. And then I look and I'm #144. :/

    Yesterday, I had this insane run where I jumped, landed on a dome that I used as a ramp to jump even higher, then hit another jump in the air, then I used my 2 stored jumps to get even more air time. I pretty much flew over an entire level. This game needs video sharing badly.

    WAS running fine on my 6plus running iOS 9. Not so much anymore. Gets stuck at the logo screen. Going to try a reinstall.

    I think it's actually getting hung up by Gamecenter bugging out. Not the game.
     
  13. I usually don't play when recording, but I was really happy that my best run so far happened to be while I was. :) Much better than my first video where I mostly just crashed.

    If i remember correctly the dev states in the Steam forum that it's yours to keep and play when you like. :)

    And thanks a lot Rigby for the heads up!!! And plenty of thanks to the dev for this kind offer!

    I really, really like the iOS version, so i'm glad for the Steam offer.

    I would kill to get my Apocolypse runs recorded. I have the #1 score for over all and today's daily. Both runs got crazy and intense at the end. Pulled some great recoveries.

    You can record your screen with quicktime. Plug your iPhone/iPad lightning cable into your mac, open QT, go to File > New Movie Recording, choose your device from the tiny caret next to the Record button (if it isn't already chosen for you). Make sure sound source is iPad/iPhone if you want sound as well. Record away. It's a bit laggy at times, but it works and it's free. I was using Reflector, but this seems to work just as well (I haven't tried the new version of Reflector - it seemed to have broken on iOS 8)

    I managed to get my best score AND get to the void level while trying it out (and managed to crash in a stupidly easy section... oh well...). @anotherkellydown was getting way too close :)

    oops, no YT account - is there a way to embed Vimeo on the forums?

    Don't worry, I'll be gettin' you AND Luciano over the weekend! Mwahahaha!!! Nice scores guys. =)

    Something really strange just happened!

    I was racing away like usual. Then, all of a sudden, I started seeing the names of every single one of my Game Center friends come overhead. Before you know it, I had sped clear past all of them! So weird!!! Did I break the game??? :D
