    Just went back to this after completing Agent Dash 100%.

    Is it just me? Or is the camera a little too static now? I dont remember it being this static before, and it just feels odd.

    Also, was the view this far away from your character or did Agent Dash spoil me with up-close-views?

    If you already closed all apps you're not using; try rebooting your phone.

    As of late I've noticed that my phone has been suffering from low ram even when nothing is running, causing apps to crash. Rebooting fixes that.

    That sounds very strange, I don't I've heard of that bug before. Could you please PM me with all the information you have, and I'll have our support team take a look at it.

    Have 120,000 coins waiting for the new update to buy some new characters!

    Hope there is some new levels/gameplay/missions as Agent Dash, Pitfall, and even Mole Escape has gotten a little boring

    Hi everyone! Just to give you a heads up, the new update has been submitted for Apple approval and will be along shortly.

    New Missions
    We've created a new mission structure for everyone that's reached x30 in multiplier, so now you'll always have a challenge at hand.

    New Characters
    Added 5 new cool characters to unlock pushing the total to 15.

    New Segment
    You'll encounter the dangerous mountain cliff along the way.

    New Rewards
    Daily Challenge and Mystery Boxes has been improved, and we've added a special Super Mystery Box that can only be collected by completing the new missions.

    I hope you enjoy and thanks for all the love and feedback!

    Loving the update

    Things I love:
    -Silky smooth controls
    -New characters
    -Missions setup
    -Prizes explanation
    -Super mystery box
    -Level design changes (cant really say I saw 'new' levels)

    Things I hate:
    -IAP focused purchases such as, 4500 Mission Skips, characters costing 350,000 and 950,000
    -Ads, ads, ads! I feel you on making money but come on and the worst part about it is I sometimes hit them by accident and it takes forever to open up the app store and come back into the game itself
    -IAP for coin packs of $50 and $100, crazy!

    Things that should change:
    -Coin Doubler Price: $5 COME ON!!!!! Haha im not cheap but thats alot of money for doubling coins. $1 maybe $2 maybe a huge stretch at $3 but $5 thats a bit much. Bought coin doublers in Shufflepuck Cantina and Mole Escape and both were $1.99. So think about this Kiloo!

    Keep up the great work one of the best games on iOS

    Yeah, I basically have to open the game and let it run for about 3-5 minutes untouched so it can download/login to everything. If I try to play while it's doing these things it freezes, lags, or just plain crashes. I close apps and restart before playing and it makes no difference. Once I get it running smoothly it's amazing but you'd think after a few updates this would be smoothed out. Still more playable than the first release though.

    I have a suggestion, I've seen a few other apps do this... How about making the game login to Facebook, Game Center, download assets, etc. during the loading screen in the beginning? Basically, don't let the game go to the main menu until it finishes everything it needs to do. It seems like the game struggles to multitask and I don't mind waiting a couple minutes for the game to get itself together.

    Thanks for the update Kiloo! Loving it! I mean IAP is there and has gone pretty pricey. I do feel a slight nudge towards IAP. But I've noticed I've been picking up A LOT more coins per run now. You don't have to run too far to run into strings of coins. I feel it's definitely balanced out on the currency.

    Haven't experienced any significant lag. After letting it sign into Gamecenter, it runs just fine.

    Is it just me or is the game a little more zoomed out? Maybe I had just not noticed before but I feel I'm appreciating the scenery more. Seeing more of it. Like the tunnels. Hmm.

    I was reading on your Facebook page how some ungrateful and impatient people threaten to delete the app (oh no!) for dumb reasons regarding the content released in the updates . I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to provide us with more free content! :) This game remains my favorite since I put it on my device!

    Please make a ginger character! Pretty please. Tasha looks a lot like Tricky.

    GC still causes the game to freeze and crash. :(
    So, I cannot do the daily mission b/c I can only play without an internet connection.

    I do like the new backgrounds, and I think we're starting in randomize spots now. I seem to see a lesser frequency of powerups though.

    I haven't ran into any magnets, jetpacks, 2x multipliers, or sneakers.

    Still a crashfest, unless I let it load as suggested by CecilMcW00t above, but 3 minutes to start a game is unacceptable.

    Subway surfers has always been on my top 5 runners, but experiencing this issue will definitely affect my opinion towards it, and i may have to delete it eventually.

    Thank you. All the old achievements are working fine now. Some of the new ones are a bit screwy. I know I should have unlocked a few that are not updating. also when I unlocked the tag Robot I got the achievement for unlocking Brody. I haven't bought Brody yet.

    Definitely less power ups

    Like the new level designs

    Anyone else think the coin doubler should be $2 not $5, maybe an in game coin magnet for $5 that lasts forever?

    Ok, I think I found a bug. It has happened to me three times already. I grab the jet pack power up and when it runs out it drops me on top of a bunch of trees or a tunnel section. So I run on top of the tunnel section for a second or two then fall off and hit a wall immediately. I was about to break 1 million when it happened the first time. :(

    Has this happened to anyone else?

    Thank you everyone for your feedback. I'm glad you are enjoying the update so far, and will take time to go through your remarks.

    Just as a general info, we are trying hard to optimize the loading of the app at the moment. With Facebook and Game Center it can vary greatly how much strain is put on memory and performance. However, we are aware that the current results are by no means optimal and we'll get it improved for the next update launching in october.
