    There a glitch in the game. Sometimes you get "stuck" on unbreakable obstacles like in the gemland, or in the t-rex jaw. Happened more than once which leads me to believe it is a valid glitch.

    I even got stuck in the T-Rex jaw, got caught by the sheriff because of this, spun on the wheel to get a pardon, and just got stuck on the jaw still.

    EDIT: 9k more and ive maxed out Moldar's stats... Then to save up for his secondary costume!

    Those are the game's mechanics. You're supposed to avoid them, and they're supposed to slow you down (stick you)... =oP

    I understand how it's supposed to work, but in these "occurrences" you can never get away from them ever. It also defeats the purpose of auto-pardons and pardons because the sheriff lets you go, but you cant leave the point you are on. You accelerate downward, and there ware walls on your left and right, and youre there forever.

    Oh well.. i guess until someone else complains about this, it stays as just something annoying, rather than a glitch then.

    EDIT: It might also be worth mentioning that this started happening when i upgraded moldar's speed and acceleration a bit, but not sure at what level they were at when it started happening. Im thinking maybe more downward momentum prevents you from "bouncing" so you can leap over those small walls beside your character.

    Ah, sorry... didn't mean to... belittle your knowledge. Really shoulda checked who was posting before I responded... =oP

    Anywho... haven't run into this issue... but I had no problems after upgrading any of Moldar's stats.

    But I hope it gets worked out for ya... I know how frustrating it can be having an issue like that in a great game... =o(

    I'm not sure when we get stuck in these traps whether extreme tilting releases your mole
    I know it hasn't worked for me...I've been done in by wrong choices but it's the games' fun factor and upgrade system that keeps me saying one more time.....
    ps: hope my "noobness" is not too obvious that it turns off some of ya....never thought when I joined touch arcade that there might be a priority for some over others....:)

    Looks a bit like Diggin' Dogs. Is it along the same lines?

    nah... not really. you're constantly moving, at times, at fairly high speeds.... and with a lot more hazards and power-ups... and flash, and style... =oP

    The closest thing to this is Duckers, but honestly...there's really nothing that even compares to this in the genre. It's phenomenal.

    Tried the game, didn't like it. Got disconnected 3 times in multiplayer before I say fug it and deleted.

    Then again, I don't like endless runners with an upgrade system and IAP.

    Captain Antarctica has to be the closest. Top to Bottom runner, same mechanics that increase speed, same tilt and swipe controls.

    But one is endless, the other one is more focused on sort of boss fights.

    Both games are almost similar but with great differences in the way they are played, and both are top notch in my opinion. Super Mole Escape just got insta-love from TA because of Adult Swim and Grumpyface on the helm.

    Just want to mention that we're taking notes on various bugs and glitches, and following all of that very closely. Thanks to everyone taking the time to mention that stuff! When we can, we will update again fixing as much as possible, though the next update will probably be at least a week away.

    Anyway, I'm also writing up a 'tips and strategies' article today, so look forward to that :)

    Does anyone have a favorite character yet? Also... did anyone recognize the two "cameo" characters? ;)

    I unlocked Moldar and Bacon... Dont have the last two. I love Moldar. Still a few thousand more to go to get his alternate costume :)

    And Bacon's pink bunny costume looks wicked! I'll unlock it as soon as i get Moldar's costume :D

    Haha, great guess. (Of Mice and Men, right? Loved that book) But actually the cameo characters are the final two... and they are actually cameos from our other games :D


    I've been waiting to see someone with the bunny costume online, haha! When our art director first illustrated that costume, there was much much excitement and high fiving. so awesome

    BTW I love Moldar as well. We actually use to have full voice samples in the game, before removing them after deciding they might get a little repetitive, and some of Moldar's lines were ridiculous. We characterized him as a nerdy super villain wizard.. so he'd say things like "One mole to rule them all!" and "Nothing can stop The Great Moldaaaarrrr!!!" :)

    BTW take a close peek at Moldar's belt...

    yeah, one of my fav books from way back when... hehe...

    But yeah, I saw the outline of one, and it looked like an alien from BMS!! - gonna have to save up for that one next. =oD

    I'm guessing the other one is from Wispin? Kinda looks like one of those enemies... =oP
