    KiiP (you got it right) is actually quite cool. Basically it allows the user to redeem real world prizes for doing in game achievements. So if you get a KiiP reward (e.g. a cheeseburger from McDonalds) it's a free real world sponsored reward. It's only available in some territories (including the US) which means only some players will see the popups. How does that sound? :)

    Cheers

    Sounds good. I like the fact that its not 'in your face' and can be ignored if you choose. I'm in the UK and saw a reward in US Dollars, this didn't seem correct.

    Also, did you see my spelling mistake report on the previous page?

    Hmm I'll report it to the KiiP guys, maybe it's a mistake on their part.

    Yeah I saw your report - also got it in a PM from extreme472000 - it's being fixed as we speak :)

    Cheers

    Hey sink_or_swim and Qwertz555

    So you're feeling the pressure of the 750.000 mission? :-D Actually it isn't all that hard…if you've got the point multiplier that is! Did you collect any rare butterflies yet? You can catch one every day and each one you collect gives you x1 multiplier. Meaning that after a few days of this and if you've ranked up (gives multipliers too) you'll have a lot of multipliers going. The record in the game is more than 4.000.000...so feel free to go for it! :)

    That said I hear what you're saying and we've changed the mission to 500.000 instead for 750.000. It should be a little hard right?

    Cheers
    Anders

    Hey Anders, Just another idea. I was wondering, what do you think about making different objectives for each other the 4 levels?

    I like the idea very much :) We've actually been toying around with the thought of doing location-specific quests. It's kinda beside the game structure as it is right now though, so we have too think it through before implementing it. But I'm sure we'll do it in a update, it's will be a great addition to the game :)

    Cheers

    Of course it should be a little bit hard, but i like the change to 500k,
    and, honestly, I forgot about the 'butterfly+1' multiplier per day.
    On the otherhand, we know about the impatience of many players,
    they might leave a worse rating due to 'a bit hard'. Possible, isn't it ?

    Though my gamers world is very small, gonna spread the word on
    your beautiful and relaxing game.

    Somebody mentioned the "badlands" visual style. I thought maybe everybody wanted to see that, so here's a few screenshots of it. It unlocks when you reach rank 5 :)

    Edit: Actually the artist was inspired by Donkey Kong Country (Sunset Shore) I'm told...

    Cheers

    Just realized I forgot to reply to this. Thanks for helping us make the game better, if I didn't listen I'd be stupid! :)

    Launching in two days

    Hi all

    I just wanted to let you know that we're launching Butterfly Sky as planned on thursday august 8th. We can't wait to get it out there and watch the highscores roll in :)

    I also wanted to thanks the testers in here, the TA forum is awesomely welcoming and helpful. It has been a very pleasant experience and something we'll definitely do again with our next games.

    I'll post a link to our launch thread in here when we've launched and I hope that you'll follow us there and help introduce new players to the game.

    Happy "soon-to-launch" cheers
    Anders (and the Funday Factory crew)

    Well I enjoyed my place at #1 on the leaderboard. I look forward to seeing it broken very soon and challenging it again.

    Hi Biokid

    Yeah it's free with the possibility of IAP. It's very fair though and there's no paywalls, it's easily playable without purchasing IAPs :)

    Cheers
