    I haven't had much issues with the bats yet, but I totally agree about the ghosts. I'm usually jumping to avoid something else, and I *always* land on a ghost. I swear I hit every one I come across. They do a ton of damage too...

    yeah, a bit annoying. When and if that make the "TA's most hated" level/gameplay option, they should call it "Effin' Harrd!" haha xP

    Idea for new item: Ghoul Boots- Can jump on ghosts without fear of getting your soul eaten :p
     
  3. So did i ;) 3rd again...1200+ :D
     
  4. Thanks guys! The game will be 0.99 for a short introductory period, after which it will probably go up to something like that.

    I really like this idea of yours and it's something that we would love to include.

    Hi cprloe, I wish I could tell you. Like I mentioned earlier, the game was submitted on October 14 and is currently in review with Apple.

    You got to it first!

    That's the video showing a run going past 1000 yarrds, though it looks like you have been able to manage that since. Hopefully this helps some people.




    It includes the following Tombstones

    The bats always bother me too. We'll be tweaking them a little.

    I like this one and whoever came up with the idea of fire-retardent boots. These two are very do-able items.

    So actually, has the contest started yet? and when does it end? lol...
     
  9. It has officially started. All the current scores are valid, of course! You're in quite a good place at the moment, Prab.

    The competition will end when the game is released (we will give 24 hours notice). If it is taking too long to release we will end it earlier and notify everyone 48 hours beforehand.

    You know it's pretty cool how this game is a survival type game but yet it feels episodic because you play it differently and have a different experience each time you use different combinations of items. This also makes you play the game to hunt the treasures and get achievements (which makes it less survival-like which are typically very repetitive).

    Eventually, with more and more items and with more people playing the game, you can see pretty cool clusters in the leaderboard coming from people who have used different combinations of items. It's a pretty brilliant game design :D

    Kudos to the developers in making so many viable item combinations with none truly being "the one ultimate way"! A different combination of equipment and you're playing a similar but distinct "game variation".

    I am currently using: Pirate Hat, Wheeler's No. 4, Pirate Hook, Telescope, Red Fake Pirate Beard, and the Double Jump Boots.
     
  18. I finally beat the Rush earlier...Ater first getting 279,292,297,301(Thought i had done it but missed it by a whisker) and that was still not enough but then finally got there...after pulling what little hair i have out...:D
     
  19. I don't have any trouble pressing the items,but i sometimes press the wrong wrongs by mistake cos it gets frantic and i panic :D

    I'm Currently using: Wooden Bucket,Voodoo Blood Amulet,Compass,Wheeler's No.4,telescope and Triple Jump Boots.
