    I lost all hope! I thought I was AMAZING when I surpassed 25 mil, UNBEATABLE when I passed 75 mil, but now, I'm here sitting in awe looking at the video and have concluded, I SUCK TOO!

    Do you mean one run for 17 minutes? :eek:

    Yep...you're right. Just under 3 minutes. 2:53
    Sometimes you get just get a good run & get into the zone. It's all about keeping that combo going;)

    But damn...My measly 175M is only 1895 on the leaderboards. Those scores are just insane!

    My only gripe is not having a pause button...Otherwise fantastic game!

    Okay. Just saw your post from a few months ago about pause option..
    Ehem, why cant you just add a pause button on the top left corner of the screen? I have 2 hands and I only use one finger of my right hand to play this game. I have quite a few fingers free on my left hand to hit that pause button.

    Why are/were you even thinking about double tapping as a pause option? That'd mess up this game for sure but what I dont understand is why were you even considering that as option when adding a pause button on top left would've worked way pretty much perfectly :confused:

    I dont play games coz it has gamecenter. I play them if and only if they are fun. If a fun game has GC then even better. I can certainly live without GC though. But a mobile game without a pause button is just plain dumb IMHO. I stopped playing it coz of pause. No point in wasting 10 minutes on it when I know I'll have to end the game as soon as I get a call or need to do anything else I need to attend.

    I seriously cant believe they didnt add something as simple as pause for so long.

    I played recently a game (forgot which one) that pauses, when you tilt the device in a spec direction, that would be an option for this one.

    we'll think about pause some more. Game center is certainly in the air, but i don't want to let you guys down. :)

    i feel like pause is against the spirit of the game. each session should take 1-2 minutes on average and to pause during that heart-pumping speed stuff feels a bit artificial.

    still thinking about it though, thanks for your continued support and suggestions.

    Now that is one reason I can understand even if I dont agree with. What left me confused was how difficult can it be to add a small pause button. But if guys dont want to add it, then I cant really do much about it other than requesting you to re-consider it.

    Complaining? And 'so much'? Read them again.

    whats the average score for two minutes, just out of interest?

    i agree with your 'speed rush' point though

    Without pause button that means I can't play this game while waiting for bus as I risk either losing the game or missing the bus.
