I thought that was possible with muting the sound (we hope to support muting just the BGM later on in an update)? Or is there some other way that people are used to that we're unaware of?
I couldn't get the mute sound to work with my own music. Maybe I wasn't doing it right but I was running MOG in the background (which supports iOS4 multitasking music streaming, etc.) Also, I don't want to mute the entire game since I think the wind and skiing sounds are awesome. I just want to mute the (sweet) metal soundtrack.
I don't have the game sadly but I have been playing a lot o a friends iphone. If music is running before you launch solipskier then the music will continue to play but so will the BGM. I died on purpose to mute the game which let me listen to the music but also muted the SFX
Ok, cool. Yea, we're gonna try and work on a way to fix your settings so that the music in game is muted but the SFX stick around. Thanks for the feedback and clarifying. Much appreciated.

Awesome score! Did you notice a few days ago that someone had 2 billion, but it has since disappeared. Guessing it was the devs just testing the scoreboard?
Same here bro. I'm at something like 6.5M. I've hardly played though. Not got enough time for anything.
I've cleared 10 mil seemingly randomly on the flash game (haven't plunged for the iPhone version yet). I'm still not totally sure on how your speed works or exactly how you lose your bonus (sometimes I seem to slow down almost randomly and go back to 1X). I'm still really on the fence about this game. I enjoy the flash version, but without some kind of leaderboard implementation, I'm not sure about the app version. It's not so much a question of price (though I can't say that doesn't factor in to not just clicking "buy" on impulse - something I likely would have already done at a lower price point), but I already have a fair amount of "high score" chaser apps, and I just can't see it having much longevity without a dedicated leaderboard.
While I can't claim it is the case here but I think a lot of developers are hesitant to spend a whole lot of time on leaderboards at the moment with this Game Center thing looming over the horizon. Why put a bunch of effort into a snazzy Open Feint/Plus+/Agon integration only to scrap it once this Game Center thing hits the scene, or worse yet, what if this Game Center ends up being an over hyped piece of crud and they then need to switch back to something else. So I think a lot of leaderboard plans are sort of on hold these days...but maybe this dev actually just has no plans to do one period, I have no clue.
Good point, I kind of forgot that was on the horizon. Well, will be keeping my eye on this one regardless.
