+1! This game is fantastic! I haven't been able to stop playing since picking this up the other night. There really is a sense of accomplishment when you complete a level (whether you get a star or not). I managed to 3 star all of the Easy and Medium levels last night. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do that.

We now have the ability to "save replay" in development builds so we're gonna start doing video walkthroughs of the best user levels!

All our earlier videos have been shot with a camera but these will be direct feed videos with a really high image quality - as a matter of fact they're so high quality that you might notice a new driver on the bike...

OMG so when we suck at making a jumb, the cat actually dies! D:! xD

I am really cursing myself for being a compulsive completionist! Am through medium levels and I wonder what kind of hell awaits me in Hard and Extreme.

@tocameel: Neither the Baron, nor the cat dies. They are superheroes, you see.

Luckily cats have nine lives and this little fellah is built from awesome and probably has less bruises than Baron does

I finally figured out how to get over the big hill in Joker Cat 3. In fact, I've made it over 7-8 times pretty easily. However, I can't for the life of me get up on the platform right before the checkpoint. Any tips?

I've gotten close by hitting the gas, and then pressing left to get a little air (off that little bump on the ground), and then pressing right to lean forward into the ramp. However, I can't get the back tire to stick.

EDIT: Ah, I finally made it to the checkpoint. Now it is time for the bomb bridge.

Can you PLEASE give some tips on the big hill/pyramid? I read what previous posters have said but just cannot do it.

This has probably been covered but I wrote it for elsewhere and may as well post it here, stuff that really needs looking at:

The lack of leaderboards for individual tracks is poor. What's the point of a huge overall score if you don't know where to improve or where your friends are going better than you or what the score even means?

My bike should not explode when I scratch my head on a ceiling while travelling at 1mph.

The worst problem is absolutely the shitty checkpointing though, which may be literally the worst example of checkpointing I have ever seen. It's happened a few times already, but the easiest example is on the easy joker level. About 0.1s before you collect a coin at the top of the level, you activate a checkpoint at the bottom. If you then crash you're returned to that checkpoint and not only is the coin not collected any more, but you can't even go back and collect it because it's at the top of the level and there's no way up there from your checkpoint. It's a completely bizarre choice which means you have to restart over and over again from the beginning.

As a result of the above, having no "go back to start" option when you crash is a huge oversight. You have to tap three times all over the screen to start again, which doesn't sound like a disaster but when you're doing it repeatedly it's really annoying when you know there should be a single "go back to start" button.
