    I picked up Mage Gauntlet as well and if you like action/RPG/hack 'n slash games it's really awesome.

    That would be great! But it looks like LSD's not included. However, this reminds me, I think I'm gonna actually try playing this game on acid some time, I bet it will be a trip!

    Oh man, I think the French would elect this game as their president if they could.

    I really like this game, but you could add so much more and make it even better! More dangers, power-ups, etc.
    Hope you will add something similar in a following update:)

    Congrats on US GOTW. Looks like this might make it as a classic after all. Good luck on sales.

    Eh, the game is nice but Techno Kitten Adventure beats it in almost every way.

    Just played the game during the afternoon... Well the game is definitely fun and in my opinion it's better than Tiny Wings.. :)
    But it feels like it's lacking something... Maybe powerups or something similar would help make it more exciting... Or some kind of upgrades..

    Oh and in my opinion the Whale's voice is just unfitting.... It should be a normal whale sound or something..

    I respect the energy and polish put into this game, but when I got past the initial artstyle overdose, I just don't find this as interesting as Tiny Wings or the other top tier casual games. Mighty Fin has a similar gameplay setup of following item trails and yet more enjoyable to play. I guess even in casual games there's a little challenge to get past everyso often ?(10-30 seconds) while this feels like Fl0w where the draw in sitting back and just relaxing.

    Not for me, but will grab other people. Already at number 36 in Paid apps.

    Hmmm...reading things like this has me torn on whether to get this. I've gotten so many endless runner/flyer type games ...many of which have long since been deleted. Only a few favorites stay on my iPod Touch. I liked Tiny Wings but ended up liking Pilot Winds even more.

    Have to think about this some more (yeah, it's only $.99, but I bought a lot this week).

    Exactly my thought. It's chopper + LSD.

    It's already #36 simply because it's featured as GOTW, so people who don't read reviews just bought it. It's a slow week though, Monsters Ate My Condo will beat it to GOTW anytime.

    Its a fun game that plays like a roller coaster of some sorts and its unique. Whale Trail took the fourth place:

    1. Tilt to Live
    2. Jetpack Joyride
    3. Monsters Ate My Condo
    4. Whale Trail
    ...

    Gets my full recomendation, such a great game
