    I get the same home screen app icon. iPhone 6 Plus. Can't upload a picture for reason though. I keep getting an error.

    I just sent you a pm with a Dropbox link of the image. I can't post images from the TouchArcade app.

    Does jumping use energy?

    Ooh ya it does. Big Time. And when you get them, double jump and wall jump use even more energy. So you have to play a very careful game of not just jumping like crazy.

    PRO TIP: If you are just trying to get gold for a new upgrade it is wise to jump to get as many coins as you can. But if you are trying to beat a level don't jump unless you absolutely have to.

    The green icon is the default Gamemaker Studio icon, I am guessing the Feb forgot to include some assets for certain device sizes.

    It would be great to have a faster summary screen after a run (or tap to speed up), so you can get into another run as quickly as possible.

    Aside from that, really enjoying this, and a pleasantly unique approach to auto-runner!

    Having a lot of fun with this. Unique gameplay and love that there are different ways you can play a level....either trying to just speed through or going for coins knowing you may have to play it again.

    Looking forward to finding some of the other abilities, looking at you Double Jump, so I can go back and play earlier levels.

    I wasn't thrilled with this at first. But slowly building up your character which builds the gameplay/visuals/assets at the same time is kind of a unique concept. I think it has finally clicked with me and I am liking it now.

    This game has massive potential but boy is it rough around the edges currently. Crab enemies get stuck in the environment and wiggle crazily. There appears to be no way to pause the game and quit, unless I'm missing something. The menus are very ugly. Etc. still, I've been playing this pretty consistently all day.

    I'm really loving this game. It has such an addictive replayability. The muted ambient soundtrack is beautiful. This is my current obsession.

    Fixed

    Hey folks I released an update with very minor changes. One of them was the green icon that you all found. Can anyone verify it was fixed?

    Great game for the first half of it, unfortunately I'm not a hardcore platformers fan so that was it for me; after one hour of struggle on a particular level (7-8) without being able to pass it, I gave up. At that point it didn't matter how many upgrades I made, armor and spike boots doesn't help and energy (all max lvl) is consumed too fast to stand a chance, all those upgrades they don't protect my poor zombie king by the hell it's coming for him :)
    I don't regret playing it (for the time my poor skills allowed me to), and I think this is one of the best platformers on the AppStore.
    IMO, everyone who loves this kind of games should give it a try
