    definitely! i was not too impressed with the flash version (before buying the idevice version), so i was kinda skeptical about purchasing it. but now, i cant stop playing and it has become one of my favorites.:p

    Ok, the game over music. Listen to the beginning of this song. They're so similar!

    P.S.
    The song I linked to isn't PG-rated :p

    The song that plays as you ski sounds like Avenged Sevenfold or something.

    Dear God, no. :( If anything, it's more like something Yngwie Malmsteen would play.

    It is great! But if u are still hesitating, there is a free flash version (link in the review article) that is the EXACT same gameplay, just on a computer. However, just so you know, it is easier and more fun to play with a touchscreen.

    I think I'll be picking this up, but the $3 price scared me (could've sworn it was $1 when I checked before :p). Had a quick question, though: Are you able to play your own music in the background?

    Hi, Greg.

    In the Flash version of Solipskier, I see that there are a few achievements to unlock (on Kongregate). Is there any way those achievements can be added to the iPhone/iPad version of the game?

    Really loving this game!

    How to play as much as I've learned:

    Get as much speed up as you can and try not to miss any yellow gates, if you are going to miss and/or have high multiplier do a massive jump for extra score, this will also temporarily stop your multiplier from depleting.

    If you go through a gate in the air u get a speed and multiplier boost, u can do this by just cutting off the road a split second before the gate appears (20-30 metres away, depending on speed), or doing a really gentle jump to reach the higher gates.

    64 million is my best so far!

    I love the music so much, that it's quite annoying when you lose your headphones...
