    Just curious, how many people are willing to pay for retina support?

    Add gamecenter, fix the lag issue and the crash with notifications. That's it! Everyone wants skins and junk can buy Mega Jump. They ruined that game in my opinion. I pray this game doesn't go down that road. Keep it's innocence and it's simplicity, that what gives it it's charm.

    Got a question about the random levels and they changing every day:

    • Is it random global (no one else will have the same)
    • Is it random individual (everybody has the same design change every day)

    The developer posted earlier in the thread... He said he's from Germany but his English is not that good, so he may find it hard to respond to this English thread.

    I like success stories like this... It still proves a one man band can compete with the big publishers. When you look at the stats for games like this you will soon realise that very few games achieve this type of success at 99c - maybe one a year.

    I suspect this will encourage other one a be game devs to throw a load of crap on the App Store, hoping they will be the next one. The odds are very stacked for this type of success. And I admire the few that can do it because we all think we will be next ;)

    Individual, people have posted with multiple devices and said they were unique.

    I totally agree! Mega Jump was pretty good, until they effed it up with all the crap they added

    Ahh, I should have missed it. If it's a one-man band, it's amazing: not only he managed to create a hit by himself (mechanics and all that), but also the graphic and art is just, well, amazing.

    Time to support the developer then!

    I see, thanks!

    I wouldn't pay for retina graphics, but it ought to be added for free. :)

    Just picked this game up after reading through some of the reviews. This game is great! So simple and so addictive! I like the different goals (gets pretty challenging quickly IMO) to unlock new nests. Great job to the developer! This is definitely my new favorite pick up and play game! :) Well worth the dollar!

    I would definitely hire Andreas Illiger in Game Dev Story (which is another brilliant game). :D

    Andreas, as a fellow indie dev, congrats on creating a great game. It's inspiring to see a one man effort produce a polished title and I'm sure it'll be a big success.

    I assume you were inspired by Wavespark?

    If so, it would be nice to acknowledge that dev (I have no connection with him). Of course, you've taken it on another level and given it the kind of personality which brings mass appeal.
