    And I thought my story about the now shamed Olympic mole was good!
    Holy crap your story had me on the edge of my seat right to the end...
    SOMEBODY call a movie producer NOW!!!!!
    And also contact the Pulitzer Prizes while we're at it! I think we have a winner here:)
    Just one question though... If Robomole digs mindlessly then does that mean all moles are mindless or just criminal moles?
    People playing this game need to know these things you know
    By the way I titled my mole "Steeroid"
    All those years of heavy steroid use coupled with high doses of masking fluids during Olympic and world championships have taken their toll on this once scrawny mole who had the misfortune of growing up in a dictatorship that controlled not only artists but athletes as well
    Steeroid was reckonized at a young age to have incredible digging skills mostly because other moles used to bully him
    After the state was done training and bulking him up he could dig 100,000 metric tons of earth in a day
    Because of a lack of Olympic games for moles they trained him in weight lifting
    He still currently holds seven world records in the fudged record books
    No one will ever forget when with their eyes glued to the tv it was revealed that Steeroid had really cheated and all his medals and records had to be exsponged!!
    Oh the shame of it...then came the trial and then the harsh conviction of twenty five years no less a day was handed down
    No one ever checked to verify the average life span of a mole
    Little did they know they really gave him a life sentence!!!!!
     
  2. Have to say, the more I play the game, the game gets funner to play. It works very well with tilt control on my iphone. Only improvements I would make are maybe adding a little more weird sound effects and some slight optimizations on character control on the new ipad.

    Out of all my endless runners, I do like this the best! Good job!

    I loved the tilt controls on this one (one of the rare games in which i thought tilt was implemented perfectly), but my tilt reactions cant beat my thumb reactions so i was better with touch controls.

    I got 20 of 22 achievements... And the last two are hidden... Anyone have any ideas what they are?

    I'm a little pressed for time today, but I just wanted to say I LOVE the stories you guys came up with for those characters :)

    4920m is a VERY good score, congrats :) Isn't it fun how crazy things get past 3000m?

    One of the hidden achievements is tied to Versus Mode. It is
    getting 100 Versus wins. We hid it because it was a pretty hard achievement, and we wanted it to feel like less of an obligation, though we still wanted to reward such a great accomplishment

    The last hidden achievement is, I'm sorry to say, a bug. There are actually only 21 achievements. This will be fixed in an update. Congrats on getting 20 achievements!

    Hey SV... I'll play you and intentionally lose 100 times to give you the achievement. But you'll have to do the same for me. :D

    100 times... That could get boring. LOL

    Looks like not many people are playing this, due to my inability to find a game online. If anyone wants to play me, add me on GC and mention Super Mole Escape. :)

    Quick heads up to those that haven't downloaded this yet. We've flipped the game to free this week as part of our holiday promotion (one AS game a week will go free between now and the end of the year).

    Good job! I hope this picks up some new users for you (I bought on day 1 anyway)... it's a hell of a polished and fun game!

    Definitely grab the game for free this week, everyone! :) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/super-mole-escape/id517069954?mt=8

    Thanks Baracus!

    For everyone out there who enjoys Versus mode: we should see an influx of players on the servers this week, so be sure to jump on and compete!
     
  13. Just found out about this game today, now that it's free I believe it's absolutely a must have. Really like the artwork, think it's really well designed, clean interface and the tilt controls are very responsive.
    I've always been a fan of endless games where you can get new upgrades as you go and I think this is one of the better ones! Big like from me :)

    Thanks MobileAppScout !

    Just a reminder to everyone: the game is free this week, and there are tons of people online playing Versus at the moment :)

    Spread the word if you can!

    Any chance this will be updated for iPhone 5?? (I'm also wondering about Bring Me Sandwiches! and Wispin... **crosses fingers**)

    wow... thank you for the quick response! BMS isn't that bad, especially since you can adjust the controls... guess I'll just have to get use to it.... hard to find top notch platformers that support the widescreen. =oP

    A hefty content update for the game will go live TONIGHT, and the game will be switching to free at that point as well! (Already has in some territories.)

    First of all - iPhone 5 support has been added (and it looks awesome on the wider screen)

    - New mode! Time Trial -
    Test your digging mettle on a fixed-course race against the clock in each of the 6 environment types. You have two speed burst power-ups to help you out; use them wisely.

    - New stage! Coal Factory -
    We've introduced a new level type into the mix—a coal factory with conveyor belts that can slow or speed your progress away from the warden.

    - New unlockable character! Gizmole -
    Once he gets going this speedy li'l clockwork mole can leave the warden in the dust with ease.

    - New power-up! Laser -
    Shoots ahead and behind your character to destroy rocks, stop the warden or obliterate foes.

    - New level layouts, achievements and leaderboards -
    We've added new paths and layouts to the mix of level segments you'll find in the game, and new leaderboards and Game Center achievements for the Time Trial mode.

    Very excited to see what people think of this; I'm really glad we could put together this kind of content update for everyone!
