    knighthalo123 - haven't gotten that PM yet ( maybe it takes a little while for the forums to process? ) At any rate, yep, I'll need the ID as well.

    As long as you're willing to provide some honest written notes on your play experience, no previous testing is required. Shoot me a PM with your device ID and I'll try to get you set up.

    OK, every PM I've been sent has been accepted and sent a build.
    If you have PMed me and not heard back, please post here.
    If you PM me, I'll need an email address and your device ID, as I'll deliver the build via email ( it is <10 MB )

    We've got a couple of 2nd gen Touch owners who have asked to test. Guess we'll see how it runs! I have some heavy parallaxing that I may be able to disable on those devices to squeeze out performance, but I'll probably have to hunt one down on eBay to get any real traction. They're supposed to be comparable to the 3G, right?

    No plans for in-app purchases - I'd rather just release some new levels and things as it goes along without having to fuss with it. This is for fun more than anything else, so I don't need to wring every last dime out :)

    I think the first order of business is to add a bar that shows what phase of the game you are in - right now it's pretty indistinct, so you don't know when to wrap up construction, or whether you should. You get an alert when the monsters start arriving, but I think you need to be able to judge how much time you have remaining.

    Warmup time is also more useful the more money you have, so the more cash you start with, the more you can build.

    Lots of knobs to twiddle! I think level 9, where you're feeling the pressure, is the first snow level and you have ice blocks and snowballs all over the place which complicate construction.
