    I think it's time for the dev to explain the name Soosiz, nothing in the game hints to the name, and it's awkward to try and pronounce at first glance. When I think of this game I think of a picture of the character, not the name.

    It's possible that some people are browsing past this game cause it gives off the vibe of some wierd Flash game if you don't look at the screenshots and videos. A catchier name undoubtedly would have helped.

    Words are not enough to describe how much we appreciate the work made by werner. The artwork is very beautiful and there is no doubt that it is improving the sales, especially now that Apple featured the game. Getting the huge banner on the front page was also something we would have never expected. Our sales in the Europe are now much higher than in the US. We can only hope that they will feature it in the US too in the upcoming weeks. :)

    The next update will contain just the new icon and a couple of bug fixes. It has been in review for about a week now, so it should be released pretty soon. As soon as it's gotten through, we will submit a new update which will add at least one more level for the hardcore fans who have collected all of the gold medals. It should keep you busy for a while. ;)

    1 level keeping you busy for a while. Something got to be big in that level.

    Hi all,

    On world 7 level three, I can't seem to jump on the little platforms that disapear quickly without dying. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it does not seem like i could jump much faster before they disappear. Am I missing something?

    thanks

    Quick taps of the finger is the key. Try keeping the right arrow held down and apply quick taps to the jump button to get through there. I'm on the same level, but I've put a hold on it to try to get all the blue coins in the first bonus level in world 7(very frustrating). :)

    Will the new update add the new logo in addition to the icon?

    You know I work in online marketing and things like colors and headlines make a big difference in sales. Check out www.whichtestwon.com for some ideas of what I'm talking about. :) .

    Thanks, I've give it a try. World 7 is feeling so much like a chore so far and I felt the same way about the waterworld. I'm not really enjoying it. We'll see how I feel when I get done with it though.

    Yeah I'm finding pretty much the same; a bit over the game, and I would agree it started with waterworld. Some of the level designs really feel like they're running out of ideas, and fair enough, but I think it will be a while after I finish it before I look at going back to get more golds. Haven't even bothered trying the blue coins levels since world 4.

    Wow, I thought it was just me, I feel like I'm going through the motions now to finish the game and these type of platformers are my favorite games.

    The update has just been approved so the gorgeous new icon should be available soon. :)

    The loading screen and the 'Soosiz' text in the main menu will be improved in the next version - if that's what you are referring to. We didn't have time to change them in this update because it had to submitted asap, so that the icons would match in iTunes and on the device. And there was also a pretty critical bug that had to be addressed.

    Thanks

    You're very welcome! :D Good to hear the update is finally submitted.

    Now, probably not the best thread to bump but I made a little Soosiz cartoon.

    Hope you're alright with me using your ™ to have fun...

    I don't know if you missed my last message just a while ago but the update has just been approved, which means it will be up within hours.

    Your cartoon is hilarious. :D I'd love to have that as a poster to hang on my wall.

    Splendid!

    Oh approved, I misread, that's a nice surprise! Looks great without the 'gloss'.

    Illustrator file for poster sent. :)

    Finally finished the last world, but I still need to unlock the last few blue coin levels. The uninspiring black and white graphics of the last world make it even harder IMO. It still held my attention for the most part, but I guess could have been a bit shorter. Should be fun going back to the colourful worlds to get a few more gold medals, and according to the stats section, 4 more secrets to boot.

    Good stuff, and nice new-coloured icon.

    This game is so well done and so fun. I am gradually progressing, being not very talented at this type of game and having limited time to devote to it, but I am progressing :). Enjoy every minute spent with the game due to the cute and buttery smooth graphics and the fun premise and level design. Awesome game worth 10X the price, IMHO.

    Word 7 Blue Coins II

    Does anyone have a particular strategy for getting all of the Blue Coins in World 7 Blue Coins II (Skipped Stones)? Has anyone gotten all of them?
