Hmm, is this a strategy game? I love BTD4, probably the best app I've ever bought.

The first major update will have Lava world - which will include a special rock type called lava that kills you if you spend too long drilling into it. A later update will have the Ice world, which has frozen bubbles that freeze the bunny in place. You shake the iphone to escape before you freeze to death.

I'm satified with your answer. Your game is really well-designed and engrossing. I'll give it a try.

There are strategy/puzzle elements to the game. There is a 3-tiered scoring system: 1 carrot is rewarded when you obtain the fixed minimum amount of gems for a level, unlocking the next level. 2 carrots are given for a better score, when you get more gems or pass the level more quickly. Finally, 3 carrots are achieved by scoring even higher, often the best or almost best (can't be too mean) score that is attainable.

There are 3 gem types worth 100, 200 and 400. A timer also tracks how long you take to complete the level, awarding the player varying degrees of time bonus points. So there is strategy involved in figuring out the most efficient way to pass each level in order to get that 3 carrot rank, especially in the later levels.

Hah looks cute! Put it on my appshopper wishlist.

We jazzed up the icon a little.

More importantly we added the score needed to get the full 3 carrot rating on a level.

Also your current time bonus is now on screen as you play, so you can watch it tick down and thus get a better sense of how your final score is calculated.

Made a small level tweak where it was impossible to get 3 carrots!
