Thanks Jeppe.

One more thing: I'm pretty sure they are, but...will the alternate outfits that I haven't obtained for Tricky and Jake be available indefinitely? Or should I be in a rush to get them before the next update?

Thanks!

Jake and Tricky's new outfits are not limited. You will be able to unlock the outfits in the next updates as well

Question:

If I don't quite collect enough flamingoes for the weekly hunt, do I keep my flamingoes to use toward the next week's hunt? Or does the flamingo count reset to zero?

(I don't really care about the current quest for headstarts, so I'm thinking of saving my flamingoes to see what else may be coming along. Unless I'll lose them!)

TIA

Bonus Useless Question:

What style/inspiration is the music? Just curious.

It's very distinctive, not generic "game music," but nothing comes out of a vacuum... and I can't place the styles/genres/time periods that this music came from. (Maybe 70's kids show theme music??)

1. Answer
When a new hunt begins, the amount of flamingos needed is changed and all previous collected Flamingos is reset.

2. Answer
Excellent question about the music. It took a long time to get just right for what we wanted to do - You are spot on that we were somewhat inspired by beats from the 70's, but also french dancehall music from the late 90's was a good genre to look at. And then of course our sound designer tried to make his own unique composition

Is there a possibility to have the option of saving unused emblems for the following weeks? Considering their rarity.

Interesting--thanks! 90s French dancehall was... absolutely nowhere on the tip of my tongue.

It is unique and really well done, for sure.

The IAP isn't needed. Just progress your powers by playing, the same as you would in a premium game. Only free

I see your point, but it shouldn't be neccesary as the spawn rate will be tweaked in the next update - It will still be a challenge but a lot more fair

Phew. Glad the spawn rate is getting tweaked for the next update! I was getting a little put off because my luck with the Miami emblems has been terrible. The very few that appear are constantly out of reach. xD

This is a longshot, but what are the chances of tweaking the keys in mystery boxes? I started with 60,000 coins the other day, ended with 30,000 coins and all I got we're 3 keys.

I have unlocked all the characters, so the contents vary between coin bags, power ups and keys. Well, mainly coin bags and power ups.

Thanks for the feedback - we are constantly reviewing the spawnrate for items in order to keep the game as balanced as possible.

That being said, I will let our design team know about your thoughts

I just did it! Tried for a flamingo on the bridge, without any Super Sneakers, and I made it. Maybe the new visuals are throwing off my timing, but it's still possible.

EDIT: I just realized it's even possible (with sneakers and a painful "bump") to get on top of the train stations. (Doesn't seem to be possible to get on top of the tube tunnels or the pillar-tunnels... is it?)

Good idea--as long as you're far enough past the shadow. Just after the shadow, I find I still collide. Currently, I aim halfway between the shadow and the oncoming train. Seems to work.
