    Mirko designed a very sadistic level out of it, even Kimmo had trouble finishing that one :)

    Luckily to preserve our mental health Mirko has also been making half a dozen new and less evil levels that are coming in an update soon!

    Another great game today and another purchase. Going to have to do some serious re-organizing of my screen pages.

    Thank You so much for this! After reading this I finally decided to buy it and am loving it at the moment, although considering it's Mountain Sheep I don't know why I didn't buy it earlier...

    Um, this may be a bug, or maybe it's just part of the game but I'd like to double check... After completing a level (with 3 stars if that matters at all) is the next level meant to automatically unlock for you? It never seems to do this so I have to click the unlock button which uses up a star...
    Yeah, just checking, that might be the way it works. :)

    Hey guys, just gotta say, the game is freaking amazing! Absolutely loving it and can't put it down. Gonna have to get into the level editor here soon and see what I can come up with.

    Of course, don't forget to head on over to the Community Codes post in the General Discussions sections and post your codes. I'll get them up at baronscodes.blogspot.com soon after so you guys can start voting on the levels after you've played them.

    You guys are definitely in for a treat with this game.
    As much as I was looking forward to Feed Me Sandwiches and Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots, I just don't see myself spending more time on them than I will with this.

    That's how it works. Only Joker levels unlock automatically, all other locked levels "cost" you 1 star to unlock them :)

    Finally reached the end on extreme 2. Wooooo. Now to go back and 3 star the hard tracks. (already done easy and medium).
    I feel I should issuse a public health warning about extreme track 2 you will lose a small part of your sanity trying to beat this track. :)

    :) thanks. 2D trial bike style games are my fav genre I've been playing them since I first discovered elastomania 15 years ago 'ish.
    I'd say now that bike baron is sitting real close to the top of my fav bike games of all time right behind trials hd.

    I can see the level editor getting a lot of use. And is there a limit to the never of custom tracks you can have saved?

    Will there always be codes for the level editor or will there someday be a menu which pops up showing level names, ratings by players, number of downloads, etc. allowing you to download levels without the need to find a code?
    Just thought it would be a cool idea, although I have no idea how hard it would be to implement, etc.
    Until then I'll just use the thread in the General Chat for codes :)

    I just played it and it is awesome! Cool art style (except the strange guy in the pub ^^), nice and good working controls, many levels and most important it's great fun! Already one of my favorite games!

    PS: As I wish for all games add iCloud savegame sync like the one in Scribblenauts please :).

    Yup, the game is really good and you can tell it was lovingly crafted. In other words, a lot of polish. At first I thought Bike Baron was going to be too easy but the difficulty ramps up as you progress. Gave a 5 star rating for this.

    To Timo in Finnish: Loistava peli. Harmi, että App Storessa muodostunut standardiksi tää 0.99$ hinnoittelu...kyllä näistä voisi pyytää helposti joku 4-5e (pelinkehittelijöiden kannalta). Toivottavasti peli pysyy pinnalla!

    (translation: ranting about app prices and wishing good luck in the future)

    This is a great game. Great presentation, great controls, great fun. It does start of easy, but definately ramps up.

    Absolutely a friggin joy to play! If you like this style of game, this is the one! The gameplay, presentation and nearly everything else is slick and amazing. The level editor is simple and intuitive and adds so much replay value to this game.

    An absolute steal for this! Wow, just wow!

    This game is simply wonderful! Great controls, lovely art, nice sound effects and pure unadulterated fun! That and user designed levels - you have got to be kidding!? It deserves to be at the very top of the charts. Certainly my game of the week and perhaps my game of the year.

    The level editor is very well designed. I usually dislike making levels in these sort o games but it is very user friendly.

    Just to repeat what everyone else is saying, fantastic game! Another solid game by Qwiboo and Mountain Sheep.
