    Just wanted to drop in and say "Thank You" to you, Yann...first of all, wow...the graphics are truly something else on a retina screen and there are some crazy good animations that I just never picked up on before this update. Second of all, yeah...I'll admit...I did in fact delete Wawa Land when Buzzwhatever was added. Thank you for listening to your fans Yann...that was a very, very classy move. :)

    I am really happy that you like retina on iPhone 4!
    It has been really hard to make it work without seeing it lagging all the time! ;)
    For Buzzdoes that's absolutely normal for me to remove it. In fact, I thought it would be good to add such sharing feature to Wawa Land. But you (the players) asked me to ban it, and your point of view as been (and will always) be my first priority.
    By the way — as before — if see bug or glitches please alert me ;)

    Just played the Lite version. Found I was getting dizzy (on iPad ). Comparing to other platformers, please consider zooming back a bit and only moving the camera when the player gets very near a screen edge. Scrolling left/right is ok but keeping the character in the center and moving everything else was hard to play for me.

    Just one opinion. Thoughts?

    Hello Greg,
    Thank you very much for this feedback.
    For the zooming I will do some test the next week ;)
    For the camera position, if I make it moving only when its near the screen edges the player won't be able to see far enough to be aware of the next trials. The player may also touch things (ennemies) that are not on the screen yet.
    In fact doing this will totally change the gameplay into something closer to games like Oddworld Abe's Oddyssey where every "screen" is a separate puzzle/trial.
    The camera in Wawa Land is dynamic: the faster Wawa is the "more far" you'll see (sorry for the bad english ;)).

    Have a good day ;)
    Yann

    Playing iOS games, duh.
    Pennsylvania, U.S.
    I almost fell over when I saw the video for this, but bad controls AND no Retina? That's like building a house with no foundation and no insulation. How is it that a game can come out at the end of 2012 and it NOT be Retina?

    The gameplay looks amazing though.
