    ABMU is the code for my first level. It's not very long, but I had fun making it.

    btw - nice level oooooomonkey. I'm impressed at how seamless and quick downloading and sharing levels is.

    Is there a limit to the number of custom tracks we can save?

    If it were up to me, I really wouldn't be here giving my impressions of the game, to be honest. Why? Because that just means I'm not playing Bike Baron. From what I've played so far...can I please just go back to playing now?

    Alright, fine...the game is spectacular in every way imaginable! If you've played Minigore, you know what to expect from Mountain Sheep. Every last bit of the game is frickin' polished, you need sunglasses just to look at your screen. The graphics on a retina screen are gorgeous, the menus are clean, simple and to the point, the music in the menus is worth poking your screen for an hour so it doesn't go into standby while you do nothing but listen and there's something very charming about the way the whole game is put together. It feels very console-ish in a way. All games like Bike Baron require precise controls and on a touchscreen, that's always risky...Bike Baron absolutely nails it though. The game also runs buttery smooth, without a single hitch even when you've gotten a boost, are soaring in the air and are bound to go face first into the ground.

    Honest to God, I don't understand how this is being sold at $0.99, especially when it's universal. I also feel like I need to come and personally hand you guys a dollar.

    *shuts up and goes back to playing*

    So just to make sure I understand correctly, are there any tilt controls or is there a button to tilt? I'd prefer no actual tilt controls but I'll be picking it up regardless. Been waiting for this for awhile and I'm very glad to hear that the first impressions are great.

    And I'll guess white.

    You use buttons to tilt the bike, no tilting of the device. We don't want you to look like weirdos when playing the game outside ;) But enough joking, we tried different type of controls and the buttons worked the best, as you need very precise controls for the hard levels in the game. Looks like people enjoy the controls so far, but we are open minded and have no problem adding more controls schemes in future if people really feel like they must have them.. but I can assure you the current controls scheme is the best and it took a lot of going back and forth many many times and more than 6 months to tweak it so it feels just great :)

    Anyway, 20 minutes to go for europe! Get ready! :D

    Favourite color: he's color blind, can't tell the difference between red and green (stop and go). So he thinks it is green (go) but actually it is red!

    Well I think you've gone to far with extreme 2. Ive been stuck on the damn spikes for 20 minutes before I've gave up and turned it off. It's the only track I've not been able to finish.

    Ye gads, just got the game. I had to wait until 12:45 am before it would show for some reason....entertained myself while waiting by watching a terribly depressing film on the BBC. It was about a girl who keeps her dead boyfriend in the bath......Sooooo, glad the games arrived;-)
