Thanks for letting me know. I tried the updated version, but can't say I'm especially taken with the action button, sorry

If the button was smaller and the user could reposition it in a more comfortable place to activate whilst holding the iPad in both hands (i.e. on the left or right sides of the screen) with similar controls available for rotating the cannons… maybe that would make for more seamless iPad play?

Default Strategy, Tips.

Wondering if anyone has any good tips or tricks for lowering your score on this game. Here's a couple I've noticed.

One - the starting position of the ghosts are different when you select a level for the first time, as opposed to after you reset. Sometimes you can get a better score with one ghost configuration versus the other.

Two - "Skipping" unnecessary cannons can save you a bunch of time and can increase the bonus.

Three - don't wait for the auto shooting cannons to shoot. Manually shoot them a little early and you'll save bonus time.

Hopefully we can get some discussion about this game going.

I've been using those too.. except I hadn't noticed the ghost positions changing on reset vs starting.

It's probably obvious, but bouncing pandas off objects can be a shortcut.

It amazes me that I'm still finding faster solutions to levels in world 1. My hat's off to the level designers for hiding points in several not so obvious ways.

My tips:
1) Time doesn't start until you break the balloon. There are many levels where you need to wait a bit (for ghosts or lasers) before you launch.
2) The flattest shot arc will almost always be the fastest, even if this means letting a cannon rotate a bit longer
3) Always look for new, not as obvious, ways to solve the levels as there are lots of ways to trim off time

The new v1.3 update is now live in the App Store, featuring 20 new levels set in the Panda Desert world, and new achievements and high score table.

Let us know what you think.
