    The update is in Apple's hands, as soon as they review it and approve it, it will be automatically released. I'm not using the 'wait until I click a damn button to release it' option ;-)

    Beautiful update, thank you so much. :) I'm gonna be honest here... ChocoRun was always one of my favorites on the App Store and what I considered to be a true hidden gem, but it ultimately had to be deleted because it took up too much space. No matter how many times I'd regret the decision and put it back on, I'd end up deleting again whenever I'd run out of space. With this little amazing update, I'm glad to say that ChocoRun finally has a permanent home on my iPhone from now on. Again, thank you so so so so so much for this... I would have honestly taken this update over new content any day of the week.

    Hmm... It seems that it no longer auto-rotates in the iPad, and so it is displayed inverted. Could you change this in a future update?

    Also, congrats on the Android release :)

    Cheers,
    Paulo

    Oh my... Double wrong. :|

    So, not only does it not auto-rotate on the iPad, but since it requires iOS4.3, it can't be updated on my iPod 2G, since the last iOS released for it is iOS 4.2.1...

    Can you make it work on iOS 4.2.1 again? :|

    I'll try to fix the auto-rotation very soon, as for iOS 4.2.1 I didn't know that but if I want to keep the app small I have to use the latest engine updates so I can't go back... I'm very sorry for that but I can't keep it able to run in 2nd gen devices U_U

    Anyway, apart from the app size, you won't notice any big improvements with this update, so you can stick with the older version and have the same levels version 3.0 has (for a time...)

    Hey, don't mention it. :) I honestly don't know how you did it, but it seems like nothing was apparently compromised in exchange for the (much) smaller size. Awesome stuff!

    Hmm...

    Well, I can empathize with that - and to be honest, I had deleted it form my iPod and just kept it on my iPad because of the size and (I'll have to say it) because of the performance as well. I think I might have the old version on my local PC iTunes, so I might keep it here and not update it, in case I want to put it back on my iPod :)

    Thanks for the prompt reply, still. Looking forward to getting the rotation fixed - and I'm very happy that you kept developing games and didn't give up on Choco.

    I would honestly like to read a postmortem on your experience in developing choco, right from the first version with the different graphics, then the promotion strategy (I remember you giving away codes, and later - if I recall correctly, even setting it free for 1 day or so?), then deciding to revamp the whole graphics, and now the engine... If you never thought of doing something like it, do consider it!

    Cheers,

    Paulo

    I've played over and over :)
    I'm totally in love with the redesign, but even before Choco was irresistible.

    Keep up the good work :)
