Yep I'm one of them; rite behind you in 2nd lol but thanks for help with that coin! I was wasting my time trying to get it another way

Jb4 is certainly doable and seems almost easy after you know the moves. I've done it a few times under 2 mins unfortunately only a couple seconds under as I will do a perfect run and get stuck on the moose most times

Edit: I just did beat the moose fast and did a 1:39 run not a minute after posting that lol though it seems kaz is safely in 1 st still being 20 k points ahead

Let's stick to talk about Bike Baron.

Good job on getting it! I saw you high up on the board when I was talking about that 4th coin and I knew you'd get it pretty quick after knowing all about the rest. It really is a matter of time at that point. But once I saw you get them both and get real close to my score I decided to lay down some real good times on every other level to solidify my spot. I'm not going to let go of it that easily ;) but with that said I don't see myself raising much more at all so I think I'm truly done at this point unless you or somebody else pass me then maaaybe I'll try to shave some time off my 57sec dragons teeth, 1:39 on jb4, or 36sec on jc3. Every other level I'm pretty much tapped out in so if you got me on those three and lay down some excellent times on the others, the spot is going to be yours. If you actually go for it, good luck man. It really is kinda fun being number one in the world at something even if it's something as silly as an iPhone game... maybe you will know what it's like soon!

Haha I'm sure I'll try to give you some competition but there's not much I can improve on I was first for about a day before so it's all good lol

When you get to te end and you get the boost for the loop when you gt the second boost pull back and fly over the next part to make the time

On jc3 how do you get past those bombs I can't do it that well at all

Hello: feedback:

I like the bomb update. But two things:

1. Bomblosium level - Really frustrating checkpoint placement. The checkpoint is after the pretty easy part. So it's worthless. More specifically, the jump right after the checkpoint takes me 20 tries to get through once. Then I'll die from bouncing off the two breaking pumpkins about 50% of the time.* (The bad jump is a short jump, meaning cant achieve full speed, and needs some seriously counter-intuitive leaning that I can't figure out, and plus the physics on that bomb suck me backward off the ramp if I don't waste three seconds waiting first. I've played this jump hundreds of times; it's non-learnable.) It's fine to have a non-learnable hard jump, but the checkpoint should be AFTER THE JUMP, so I can learn the rest of the level. Right now I'm wasting my effort. I've played this level hundreds of time and am a complete novice at fifty percent of the track. And I like the concept in this level! I think it would be great fun to practice and get good at the blocky tunnel at the end. But if I have to redo the boring short jump 40 times to get to the tunnel once -- all I do is die at the tunnel. Right? If only there was a way for me to practice one hard thing when another hard thing is before it! Please consider not leaving checkpoints out between hard things like that. I went into detail because I wanted to make clear the mathematics of why a lack of checkpoint prevents me from playing part of your track that I want to play.

*Note: I am aware that the riding the bomb explosion gives me a path over this jump, or can assist with the jump. This is fun but has a low success ratio and so I still need a checkpoint downstream.)

2. Bombkin Gravity level: I find these skidding-platform levels really tiring. My personal preference is for less of them. (Along with JC3's touchable bombs, no thanks, not playing, the boardgame Operation is a game for maniacs and so is this.) Vladimir was ok but these see-saws feel broken. Just my opinion, but maybe others share it.

After 3-starring the level, I have to say I agree. It took me a ton of tries to master that jump. But once I got the hang of it, my success rate was very high. A check point after the jump would help. And riding the bomb explosion... that's too hard to plan deliberately. Plus, it's slow. That said, this is my favourite level. A perfect run gives a fantastic sense of speed and control.

And bombkin gravity... i hate the planks. You can master them, but it's frustrating. Checkpoints are fairly placed, but they only help in getting one a move-along on the level. If one wants to 3 star the level, you anyways have to get a perfect run... mostly without crashes. And the planks, along with timed bombs, behave far too unpredictably. Twice I got a pumpkin plonked on my head millimeters before the finish from an explosion that happened behind me. Eventually, when I did 3 star the level, I got a massive jump due a plank angled slightly upwards, and I soared in the air for half the distance after the 2nd checkpoint.
