    Just played it. Nice. Like the little intro, graphics, sounds etc.

    If it's more a jetpack when he jumps maybe add some little pixels or vapor trail? Would also be nice to see some pixels bouncing around from explosions etc. Always quite satisfying!

    Impressed tho :)

    I'm playing L29, but only just realized that tapping fire manually is a lot faster than holding your finger down. Doh!

    Thanks for the review Troy!

    Some more info about challenges ;) You write that they are asy - at the beginning, quite easy, but they will grow harder later.

    From the TA review:
    "it would be nice in the future to have the option of a ghost of your best time to compete against."

    Along with Game Center leaderboards, a ghost would be awesome!

    Hmm, ghost - although optional, could be really a nice addition ( optional ) I'll think about it!

    Anyone else have some updates ideas ?

    Yes!!! Make the 3-star time limits a tiny bit longer! Idk if it's just me but those 3-star limits for some levels are just too darn impossible...

    Great game and all, but i've given up on trying to get 3-stars :p

    Awww, don't resign so fast :D Those 3-stars are ALL beatable. I've tested it level by level. And even better - you can take a nicer time on some even ;) Everything lies on finding a best route - then perfect it.

    Which one you think is hardest so far ?

    I wasn't meaning the challenges are easy - I was really saying the bonus levels are pretty challenging too! ie: once you've unlocked them, there's still more to do!!

    This game is certainly challenging, but it's good to know that you have personally achieved all of the target times for three stars.

    If people are struggling to get 3-stars, I guess they can aim for 2-stars on the levels, if that's more achievable for them. After all, if everyone could easily get 3-stars for all levels, it would be too easy.

    Everything is in credits ;) Music is by Norrin Radd - it is on Creative Commons license, so you can download it freely from HERE for example. Unfortunately Norrin seems to be offline since June, and I couldn't contact him, but I'm sure he will be happy that his nice work is spreading in some retro NES-style game ;)

    So thanks for that ;)

    Hey guys, which approach is better: more frequent updates with less content or less frequent with more stuff in one package ?

    A mix of both, as long as you keep us in the loop on which is which.

    This is a really great game but I'm having trouble unlocking the 2nd bonus stage. I did level 22 and got the badge in under 13 seconds.. but it won't unlock. :confused:


    Edit:

    Ah never mind, I got it. Think I was missing a monster. Working now!

    Again, great game looking forward to updates.

    So how far is everyone? I'm trying to unlock bonus stage 3... need 9.90 in level 20, best I've done is 9.97. So close.

    Ah 9.88! Sweet. Took a while.

    13. Best I can get is 5.38 and I've gotten three stars on basically every other level in the game. 29's pretty brutal too, I think I just need to practice that one more.

    ahh

    Well, I'm loving the 8-bit retro graphics. But, I cant get 3 stars on level 3... Jumping is so weird.. Starting the jump is slow, then it gets faster, than you drop at the same speed. The fluctuation just kills me. I'm expecting a normal jump every time, and i cant get used to it. Also The timer shouldn't start until a button is hit.. If you start a level, by the time you hit the button you have wasted .5 seconds.
