    - Back button on Episode start menu
    - Stats refresh more often
    - Disappearing platforms bug fixed
    - Reduced speed for crash into wall
    - Bounce when hit the ground with a shield

    Just wondering what you all think of our draft game description for the iTunes App Store. Anything you would suggest adding or changing?

    Here's the latest build testers:

    http://tflig.ht/YYKt1O

    With this build we are hoping you can do a clean install (ie delete the existing app before you install this build) so we can gauge the levelling-up progress and earning of coins - which has been tweaked quite a bit.

    Here's the rest of what's new:

    - Tweak reward coins for levels and level up pacing
    - Missions can be redone (10 coin reward)
    - Level early unlock cheaper
    - Cutscene typos
    - Adjusted hero pricing
    - Hidden mission message at summary
    - More stats
    - Cutscene skip bug fixed
    - Show boss cutscene when boss level played
    - GameCenter access leaderboards for iOS5
    - Soccer ball hero bug fixed
    - More hints
    - GameCenter Leaderboards for Boss episodes

    Still to do:

    - More GameCenter achievements
    - Credits menu

    We are planning to submit for review at the end of the week, so the sooner we can get your final feedback the better. Cheers!

    Just adding the GameCenter Achievements - there will be close to 100! It's lucky we can use Apple's Transporter, or I'd have to upload and enter each one using multiple web forms for each achievement.

    Thanks Fastbridge - hope we don't disappoint! We are pretty positive though - quite a few of our beta testers have logged 50+ hours.

    Once we've finished these final tweaks and submitted to Apple (hopefully in a few hours), we are going to get working on the trailer. We've already recorded the audio, and Jon St John (aka Duke Nukem) has done an awesome job, so we are pumped to see it all come together.

    Final Gold Master build submitted to Apple. Yeah!

    Thanks Team Awesome beta testers for all your help, you have been AWESOME!!! Beta testers can grab the gold master here:

    http://tflig.ht/RKEjAV

    We are hoping for a smooth approval process so we can launch November 29th on iOS and Android. Any help you can give us to build the buzz with friends and review sites would be great. We'll let you know when the game trailer is ready (it should be pretty funny).

    Cheers, and thanks again!!
