    Congrats. Just wondering, was that score achieved by starting with data wiped to get the extra points for idols.. Or is it after the end game?

    Cool. So there's still room to go above that score.

    After playing Traps n Gemstones, I have to checkout more by Donut Games.

    Is Action Hero one of the better Donut Games? Any suggestions?

    Depends very much on your personal likings.
    If you are hunting for highscores i would recommend cat physics and comet racer

    These are some Donut games that have spent a very long time on my phone...

    The second 'page' has Traps n Gemstones and Monkey Ninja. But Bubble Pig and Superstar Chefs are my favorites

    I have mine in reverse order. More likely to play recent games so they are in the first page of my Donut Games folder. Traps n Gemstones is top left of Page 1.

    Update is live for those trapped in a wall, wanting mifi controller support or wanting to warp to the top (camp) on death. The warp works great.

    ...

    As for other donut games, Jungle Crashland is probably my second favorite behind Traps N Gemstones. I've been enjoying Jailhouse Jack lately too. I own 19 of their games, plan to own more, and I keep em organized in folders by game number (I'm on ios6, so I still use the old folders rather than the nested deal). Closest thing I have of theirs to Traps, is Gold Miner Joe. Controls are a little different... But it has some platforming fun in more bite sized levels.

    Thanks for all the recommendations on the other Donut Games games, guys!

    Edit
    had one too many pops last night and went on a 2am shopping spree. Bought 6 or 7 more games by donut!

    I'm not 100% happy with v1.01. First of all, very minor issue, the wording "WARP TO CAMP". If future games will be similar to TnG, then I hope the word WARP is used again. One thing we are used to with Donut Games is familiarity and consistency. I thought something like "RETURN (TO) HOME" would have been used.

    Main gripe is that when you die, you now have 2 options, both of which are to play again, you can't QUIT TO MENU as you would normally expect with Donut Games. You can only do that during a game, but you have to kill your game to do so. I suggest:

    Game Over - add Quit To Menu option
    In Game - add Save feature in Pause menu
    Main Menu - add Resume feature

    Thanks for implementing MFi support so quickly. I'm stoked to play using my Stratus. Maybe I can beat my lil bro now

    Kudos to Apple for approving the update in a few days, without us asking for an express review.

    Anyway, let me know if the MFi support worked as expected.

    Feedback request to everyone with MFi controllers

    Will you please let me know if things worked as expected? And what brand you're using!

    Over here we have a YES with the Moga Ace Power.
