    I thought it lists, supports retina display on the page.


    I love playing this on the iPad....amazing.

    Agreed. Especially rushing through a couple of tunnels, pulling off a jump straight after, and that music just egging you on and on and on...

    If ataloss and wolf recommend, I'm going to have to buy into this.

    I just tried the flash version and can't stop playing it. This game is INCREDIBLE.
     
  9. No, doesn't actually say anything at all about what it supports. It's only known that it's universal because of the + displayed on the app's page.

    I must be reading it wrong then. It says what's new in 1.1 and OS4 and retina support are listed.
     
  11. Doh! Okay, I can't see that part 'cos I'm just relying on the page Apple brings up when you click on an iTunes link. (I'm at work, no iTunes installed, so I can only see that page.) That would explain it.

    Retina support = win, so I'ma buy this.

    Didn't even realise it had retina support, which makes the wait for install even more annoying.

    lol... the whole extra 30 secs to sync...

    Hahaha! I don't sync my phone very much these days. The sync usually takes about 20 minutes with installing updates and the dozen or 2 that I buy each week. :(

  16. Okay, so this wasn't quite what I was expecting -- it really is a mashup between Canabalt and Line Rider, with more of the former than the latter. That said though it's actually pretty good. Very well executed with some cool features that keep you wanting to play again, which is more than I can say for pretty well all of the Canabalt clones. Nice. I'd say it's probably priced right around where it's worth, too.

    This game, and Mikengreg in general, rule so hard it makes my face invert.

    Wow, face invert... Not a good selling point! ;D

    Just tried it and it's an absolute blast. I can't give the experience justice with any wording. It's just like a symphony coming together.

    Agreed, they know their games...and then if it wins you over, Sammysin, I can't even pretend to fight it.

    Okay, I have to ask, are those gates somewhat randomly placed? :rolleyes:

    Don't fight it my friend! Just let it absorb you.


    Definitely random as far as I can tell. I've only had 3 attempts, but each one has been vastly different. So much is going on, I can't help but think a tutorial or information page would be helpful!
