    This is actually some of the stuff still on the "TODO" list (mainly from the tech side of things rather than tracks/art), if there is something missing that you think should be on there, let me know :)

    Can I quickly ask, who plays with tilt, and if so, what could be improved about it, is it good/bad out of the box.

    I made the game with "buttons" in mind, but some people still cannot get their head around using anything other than tilt, so I've made the choice to show a dialog at the start which asks you to select your control type. I'd "hidden" it away because I believe that it still plays better with buttons and I would rather people try them first.

    However as I'm no tilt ninja, I could be completely wrong on this one so i need to know peoples opinions!

    Thanks

    Ste

    ( Multiplayer update going live next Thursday BTW :) )

    I pretty much play ALL my racing games with tilt..(what is wrong with me!)# I have to say this feels pretty good really, I actually haven't played with buttons since you released the tilt option, so I can't compare at the moment(I'll have to do a run with buttons). I do sometimes get a sense of the handling being a bit skatey, but I'm not sure if that's related to tilt or not.

    Cheers GPS. I've spent a bit of time refining it and made it better (or at least it feels better to me!)

    I just find that I cannot get anywhere near my top times with tilt. But the more I play the better I get. It's quite a learning curve!

    Sounds good BM, looking forward to the update.

    I can't stand tilt control myself however well they are implemented. I just get into a groove with the buttons and I'm good.

    So given an option on first play, you would click buttons over tilt anyway?

    Looking forward to trying it out! The buttons are a real learning curve for me, I find I am way smoother with tilt.

    Thanks, I guess because I've never really got on with tilt, I am just worried that "unhiding" the option when you first boot and allowing users to choose from the off may result in more people playing with tilt and not trying buttons, and because I have a less fun experience, I assume that they will also have a less fun experience. I guess this is not going to be the case though, as probably quite a few people use tilt!

    (I'm actually making it choosable to avoid the negative reviews I get where people instantly slam it because of the buttons, and they assume it doesn't have tilt!)

    From what I can tell from the forums, most people will always choose buttons over tilt.. I think having the option is great, seeing there is a choice allows you to choose your favorite but let's you know there's options

    Agreed, All this is simply to try and avoid the negative reviews where people are struggling to find the scrolling in the options menu. I need to make the options a bit clearer and bigger for the next one :)

    Try playing Real Racing 3 with any control other than tilt and see how far that gets you.

    Button tap control or game controller in Real Racing 3 is nearly impossible but both actually work well in Rush Rally 2.

    Keep your eyes peeled on the app store tomorrow, the multiplayer update is going live midnight tonight (UK time)! (Hopefully it'll get a front page feature too if we're lucky!)

    hey Brown, i've just updated it but the sound doesn't work anymore, and also blows out all iOS sounds even if it's no longer running on background... i'm on iOS 7, is it maybe the cause?

    Madness, I've not got that here. I made one change to the audio stuff to "fix" some of those running in background issues i had with later ios versions. There will be another update pushed through in the coming days so don't worry, you won't have to wait too long for another set of fixes.

    No problems, if you have an issue then someone else will also have it!
