    Get the coin magnet at the shop, its doing wonders for me right now

    On a side note: boosts, something I didnt like at the beginning, stacks up if you dont use them... now I have 7... this game, this game is the best of all endless runners

    This is one of my all time favorites on the App Store! Brilliant game, and just beautiful.

    Is the coin magnet permanent once you've bought it?
    I can't easily tell which things are permanent and which are one use only...

    I only bought new characters so i cant tell for sure but i think items in boosters category are only ones that are 1 time use. However Secon Chance Jetpack that cost 3000 coins is listed under gizmos but it also looks 1 time use. Now im confused :(

    @Ickon @Nemer

    Both gizmos are permanent... But you can only wear one at a time. Coin magnet is the best thing

    The only thing on the shop that are consumable (not permanent) are the boosters, but the game gives you one of each everytime you play for free and they stack each other

    I like this game, but even with the coin doubler coins accumulate way too slowly. I will save up for and try the coin magnet. I didn't realize that was permanent.

    In game, on the left side of the screen you will see a rocket and the other one, tap them to use them, but you can only use 1 per game session

    Slogged my way to getting the coin magnet, and that definitely helps along with the coin doubler, but I still feel like this game is a bit of a grind, and many of the goals aren't things you can actively try to do, rather you just play until they happen to occur. For example surfing 3 clouds in a row. That's just luck mostly. I do like the game, but I don't think it's as inspired as, for example, Jetpack Joyride.

    Not sure why you are getting free boosts. I am not. I upgraded too. 0 boosts for me.

    I did buy the coin magnet and agree its worth it. It seems to more than double income -- maybe tripple?

    Coin doubler + Coin magnet = +500 coins per run, at least for me... and some ranks gives you coins too. If you think this game is grindy, play Endless Road

    Well, you bought the coin doubler. Maybe its a throw in bonus.

    You should do it too, this game deserves it. There are a lot of items on the shop to buy with they own objectives which extends life for a long time and Coin doubler helps with that a lot, as well as the coin magnet

    There was a point where the game gave me 4 of each boost, but it was a one time thing. I don't earn any for free otherwise. I do have the coin doubler too. That makes no difference. I don't think there are any free boosts per game.

    Today I played 5 hours of this game, completed all the snowmobile missions, all the gizmos, upgrades and power-ups missions too, unlocked the bat and have bought every single item on the shop :D

    Now I only have left: 5 characters and regular + slope specific missions, quite a few still.

    Also realized that when you have the coin magnet activated you dont get the speed boost after picking all in a row... going to reserve that for when I start improving my highscore

    I realized the same... only some little time after the update to get you used to it, then you have to pay for them. The rocket is worth it, the blue one, not

    Okey I went on a Ski Safari gaming spree today... only 4 missions left:

    Collect 10 presents as Elf Sven (in one game)
    Jump 1500 metres (1 mile) on a bat
    Transfer between 3 eagles (with Bling Seven)
    Tow a snowmobile or sleight with 3 reindeers

    Any help will be very appreciated

    I have the Tow with 3 reindeers and I cant even get two, lol.

    Question, when you go through the houses a certain way, do you automatically get a sled? Just seemed to be happening.

    I'm finding it lame that you do all these missions and your multiplier stays at x12. WTF is up with that, there is a reason other games dont work that way, it decreases motivation.
