    Hi Capricornman,

    Have you just been having problems this morning, or did you also see problems yesterday and the day before? Are you getting stuck on main menu, or are you just getting disconnected?

    One thing you can try is restarting your phone and seeing it helps, though I think the main problem is the game having trouble working out slow or weak connections. We're hoping to make it stronger or rework the game handles player disconnects, to make it a little easier to get through (and get rid of the problem where sometimes you get stuck on the main menu when a disconnect occurs)

    Hey GrumpyfaceChris
    Yes I have only tried once and it was today
    After about a minute the GC match disconnected
    It showed the name of my opponent but it was declared a draw
    Thanks for the suggestion...could be an overload because of the amount playing this game... Not sure!
    Anyways best wishes and success!:)
    I just turned the game back on and tried GC auto match and it worked!!!!
    Lots of excitement when two players are zooming downwards!!!!

    Yup... this is my GotW.
     
  6. Yeah, me too, but have to admit, this was not a real strong week for new releases. If I was a developer this would have been a good week to release a game I figure.

    On the contrary, as a runner fanatic, I rather enjoyed releases this week. Blood Run, Pitfall, Super Mole Escape.

    Hopefully, next week, Blood Roofs gets released. Cant wait for that. :)

    It's getting more and more frustrating. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but upgrading seems to have no effect.. got my highscore (2400) with Marty on Level 2, now he's on Level 9, played dozens of rounds, but It feels like he's still on level 2.

    Hmm, sorry to hear. It may seem subtle at first, but if you go back to a non-upgraded character I'm sure you'll notice the difference. (at least I definitely do! Going from a level 10 to a level 1 feels sloooow)

    Although one thing to keep in mind is that Marty is a very average, all-around character. He has decent stats in all upgrade categories and no major weaknesses, but also excels in none of them. Depending on your play-style (whether you prefer speed or strength), you ultimately might want to experiment with other characters?

    If you get a chance, also check out the Tips & Tricks article I wrote for our studio blog. Some of the tips in there might help you out :) http://grumpyfacestudios.blogspot.com/

    I must be missing something really obvious, but how do you bribe the judge. I know how to get a pardon, but how do you bribe him. One of my objectives is to give him.

    When you are able to spin the wheel, sometimes above it you can see that you can bribe him for 1000.

    So is it just randomly offered or do you have to meet certain conditions.

    The button only appears on the wheel screen when you start a game with at least 1000 gems in your bank

    Loving the game. Only issue I've run across is one time when the screen went to all black. If it wasn't for the fact that it was, well, boring that way, I probably could have gone all day and set a record on the leaderboard as the warden didn't seem to ever get closer.

    Restarted and everything was back to normal.

    Hey awp, yeah unfortunately we've seen this issue reported by a small handful of people, though we are having trouble replicating on our end. Can you tell me what device/OS you're on, and how many times you've run into the problem? (only once? was it your very first playthrough or no?)

    I'm playing on a 3GS and iOS 5.1. I've only run into the issue once and I had played it many times prior so it wasn't my first playthrough.

    Runs smoothly and no other issues otherwise.

    I also have that issue. The upper part of the screen goes black and you only see your mole. This appeared to me so far 3 times, after some intensive playing each time. It stops after you restart the app. iPhone 4 GSM 5.1.1r1
