    Solipskier, solipskier... how high you fly.
    Solipskier, solipskier...I wonder why?

    Is it the wind, is it the air?
    Is it the tricks you do up there?
    Is it the wind blowing through your hair?
    While jumping over canyons of despair?

    I draw your slopes, now tell me so.
    How far do you need to go?
    Is there no limit, is there no end?
    To the number of tunnels that you descend?

    Oh Solipskier, they just can't compete.
    Unicorns and businessmen hang their heads in defeat.
    As you leave behind your rainbow trails, so true
    Solipskier, this rhyme's dedicated to you

    :eek: Amazing!

    And yes, he needs no name, he's the solipskier, in a world inhabited only by himself, creating all he surveys. In such a world the creator needs no name as there are none to call him by it.

    Question, and sorry if this was already answered, but I've noticed that when you have to avoid the X Gates (the red ones), my score multiplier always goes back to one, is that right? I get a really good run going and when I avoid the red gate, it's reset and that doesn't seem fair.

    Has anyone else noticed this or am I just "handling" the X gates incorrectly?

    u should jump over them, or hit green gates very fast after the red ones.

    why is the topspeed leaderboard offline only? and why is my highest topspeed over 1,700 while my 2nd highest is only 158?

    Your multiplier drops if you don't earn points for a certain period of time.
    Sometimes you just get a bad randomization, try to do jump tricks while waiting for the next gate or tunnel.

    @Sticktron @eev - Thanks for your help on this! I think it was an issue of not earning points for a period of time that was doing it. I tried again and jump tricks seem to do it when there is a gap between good gates/tunnels.

    Thanks! :)

    This game is so damned addictive that I actually have to ration myself, allowing only three runs at a sitting....well,okay, maybe four, just one more.

    And I'm not even all that good at it. Yet.:)

    Those high-score tables are a bit bugged, that's why they're hidden like that. We're planning on fixing this in an update. :)

    I've gotta admit I didn't warm to this initially, but now, I'm excited to hear that updates are on the way.

    It's not feedback either. It's just information/updates of his app :p
