    Yeah you got to be careful or before you know it you might have spent $5.

    Dude, are you kidding? Its 99 cents....

    I can't believe the overtone some people have about dropping 99 cents...

    This guy got ripped off so hard dude. I bought this game without thinking about it. I can afford 99 cents. If the game starts up and is playable thats just a bonus.



    Just wow, I can't believe that some people would be reluctant to spend a dollar.

    Definetly getting this! I'm a big fan of the flash version!
    The game starts a bit slow but quickly turns into a nice challenge!

    I had a pretty hefty post before my battery died, so I'll try to sum it up quickly:

    Cons:
    -the controls are EXTREMELY cramped
    -the controls are somewhat unresponsive, but they do work about 90% of the time
    -I've encountered 2 glitches so far:
    1)the blocks in the horizontal rows become slightly out of sync sometimes, making it impossible to simply run from one block to the next
    2)I've had a block land OVER me twice, so that I was inside the box, but I could jump out whenever I wanted to
    -the grinding seems off, can't really put my finger on it right now, but it just feels weird; in the flash version, I could grind on falling blocks, in the iOS version, that works less than 50% of the time

    Pros:
    -everything else :D
    -the music
    -the graphics
    -the gameplay
    -etc.

    completely agree with this quote.

    I suggest the devs to fix the controls because right now it's just not that awesome.

    Don't worry, we are working on addressing these control issues immediately! The problem with testing your own game:)

    What I like so much abut this game is the collab between you guys and the League of Evil. I hope you do more of those collab's in the future. And I also hope that you will update it with many new characters! That's what I find that makes the game so charming.

    I can't believe I made it to #1 on Game Center and #2 on OpenFeint (my user name is msyx on those). I never make it to the top of anything. It's still early so I'm sure my score will be toppled soon.

    Hit detection with Leaper is crazy sporadic. One moment he'll break a block and the block above it, next the box won't break until I try a second time. In a game where timing is crucial, this needs to be fixed. I also encountered a problem where he kept running to the right even thought my fingers were off the screen(I was not in tilt mode either). also had moments where the block hits me and it's instant death! No blocks around to squish me. It's like I touch the edge and boom.

    Just wanted to add view. I think this game is fantastic sure the controls could use a little tweak but over all I'm loving it. Fantastic work by the devs.

    Just noticed this is in the top 100 games on iTunes. Congrats on that, especially after the crap you guys had to go through with the pirated version.

    Yeah can you guys add a landscape view option?

    And also fix the jumping, because it feels a bit off.

    I think the screen orientation is fine after you get used to it.
