    Yeah it is annoying me. I have done it with no crash before except only to get that first checkpoint. But now that I cant get to that point it's frustrating

    Also Medium number 32 "the circuit". The point where you go up on the ice to get the spinning stack of coins, Where there is the dead end of barrels just after. You need the checkpoint to get up the top to finish the level?

    I thought the latest update was supposed to be Retina optimized for iPad. After the splash screen, nothing else is Retina and looks quite bad tbh.

    We know about the problem, it's our mistake. It affects only 4G iPads. Quick update to fix it was submitted 2 days ago so should be out next week. Sorry about the inconvenience.

    I'm loving the update so far and here is a question that I have. Would it be possible to upload the music for this game? I like the music, especially the song that plays on the level selection screen. This would be awesome to have to play many, many times on my iPod.

    The Circuit is surely a bug.

    This whole no-check-point business is a little too forced really. It removes all levels like "The Circuit" where you spawn somewhere like Night-crawler out of the equation. Riggysmalls on TA had made a brilliant level utilizing this mechanic. Will never see those kind of levels in the game with no-checkpoints. Maybe they should call the no-checkpoint difficulty level as "really few checkpoints" difficulty level :)

    Yeah, I think there are only 2 levels out of all 100+ that don't work without checkpoints so we will just enable checkpoints on them I guess or solve it in some other way. I still like the no checkpoint settings as even for me (after developing and playing the game for almost 2 years on "daily" basis) the game felt as something new. I guess it puts the extra pressure on and the cost of failure even on very simple levels is much higher, which makes reaching the finish feel more rewarding as well. Kinda reminds me of crazy hard games that I used to play as a kid, like Titus the Fox, Commander Keen, etc.

    A simple solution is to have three levels of difficulty and call them "Easy", "Normal" and "Hell". That ways you can have the checkpoints in JB4 and Circuit and still not flout the name "No-checkpoint"

    Personally, I think apart from JB4, Motherland and Way of the Sun, I have completed all levels without crashing. (Not necessarily while achieving all star-objectives) The no-checkpoint difficulty is realllly super duper extreme for the extreme levels and some of the hard levels. If anyone in the world manages to get all stars on this, please let the folks at guinness book of world records know.

    Not sure if this is a bug in the game, but I have found all 6 golden gebettos and every time I close the app and re open it it doesn't show that I got it so is saying I only have 5/6.
    So without giving away which level it is in, in order of the levels that you find the gebettos in it is the second last one. Really frustrating I've collected it like 6 times now but still having the same problem. Is this happening to anyone else?

    Thank you Spidey! I love making levels in this game and am currently working on a cool new one that has yet to be posted. If anyone is interested in the level he is talking about its called Frost Nova and the code is: BZB7

    Also, I can't wait for the User Created Level Browser that Qwiboo discussed awhile ago:)!

    Love the new backgrounds and how you cleverly intergrated them into old levels!!!

    Several of us at Mountain Sheep & Qwiboo picked up new iPads as well so we're well aware of how useful this would be. We must play this one carefully, though, having seen how a poorly implemented cloud save can be a nightmare for both players and developers. Stay tuned. :)

    I absolutely agree. I would rather not have this feature than risk losing progress. And I do have both ipod and an iPad. If you do release the update with iCloud support, I ain't gonna update till people on forums here confirm that they aren't losing data. IB and LoE2 really made a mess of it with iCloud.

    But even without iCloud you could loose your save,if sth happens with your iDevice.That's why before/after every update I backup my save :D
