    About the secret level, I've been thinking ... maybe it should start at a certain level and not be a "choice" after all.

    My thinking is: If I start selling lives so that players can further in the game, why would players want to go further, exactly?

    I think an incentive to want to go further, is to reach new levels that look different and have new challenges, etc. Otherwise reaching a higher level may be a bit repetitive.

    I think Jetpack does this. I haven't played it much, but I remember it changes backgrounds after a while and I am assuming you see new challenges ...

    Still thinking what to do ...

    Yes, I will reset the higher scores (the ones over 70 most likely).

    I will contact the contestants that join that have those scores, to lower them (the Game Center scores will remain, but the scores in our Facebook database will be reset and I will be counting those for the tournament).

    But I am expecting you guys to shatter the current records! ;)

    It'll be the released version.

    I plan to do one more update while the Tournament is going on, with the credit screen and other details, but I won't add the surprise level yet (I'll submit that after the tournament is over).

    Hi All!

    I just submitted an update with several improvements to the UI
    - Now you can hear iTunes music while playing
    - Placeholder Background music
    - Pause button
    - Preferences
    - Ability to logout of Facebook, for multiple users
    - Home button
    - Bug fixes

    We haven't tested this yet, so there are bugs here and there.

    The background music is temporary (I am using the music from Ice Math Ninja for now).
    I will be creating a new tune today. If inspiration comes, I may have something to show tomorrow.

    I still have an issue where it no longer records my new high score in GC. This is in the regular version not the beta

    Oh nice job letting us play our own music and aping a much needed pause button

    Thanks, Dreadnok :)

    About the scores. My guess is that since you used the beta, the game is still logged to the beta gc sandbox, even from the final game.

    Maybe logging out of game center and restarting the device will help. You may need to delete the beta.

    In any case, for the tournament I will take into account the scores in our database (via Facebook).

    I am also adding a "Force Sync" button which will force the GC scores to be resent (if they were not sent before).

    Hi All,

    Tomorrow morning I will be posting the rules for the Ice Flap Penguin tournament.

    TODAY I will be contacting some of the contestants that have very high scores telling them I will reset their scores before the Tournament.

    FYI, we will not be taking into account Game Center scores, only scores on our database (via Facebook).
