    It is a nice little addition. I like that the rewards are small enough that it should be strictly for funsies. I don't like that so many people are clearly mercenaries who switch to the winning side for the sake of such a small reward since that destroys any competition. Needs to be some sort of mechanic in place to ensure we don't see 99% of the players on Team Inferno by the end of the weekend.

    I'm sticking with Team Rainbow. More than enough tears in the world to not sell my shiny unicorn rump to Team Inferno for such a pittance ;)

    That's funny... I usually switch to the loosing side whenever something like this is included in a game - just because I like having that added drive to do as good as I can. =oP

    For the record, I decided to join team inferno before I even unlocked the option. And at the time, inferno was constantly down by 1k or more. Leaderboards had only 5k players. Then when I woke up the following morning when RUA2 went live in the US store, team inferno won by a large margin D: And now there are over 120k on the leaderboards and I'm down to #6.

    So what playstyle are you guys using? I'm playing with a fast horse and short dashes with wings. I'm pretty sure slow and steady works too since you can see everything coming from a mile away but I like things zooming by.

    It surprises me not at all that Inferno is crushing Rainbow. It's so bad, I think they might change the way the system works.

    No, they go to your next rank. At least they do on my device. Bug maybe?

    Let's talk upgrades. What combinations of unicorn speed / acceleration / etc. are people liking?

    I had assumed more and faster was better, but I just unlocked a Boost that says "takes twice as long to reach max speed" which has me thinking that maybe I'm missing something?

    Edit: Sorry for three posts in a row.

    I'm using a fast unicorn with quick wings, quick dash, quick acceleration, and as many jumps as possible. I like a fast pace but I've been thinking the same thing about going slow. I'll probably go with the same setup except this time using a slow horse.

    I think the delayed top speed is for people who want to take it slow and steady. Constant flight is how I'm reaching the hundred thousands anyway.

    Yeah, I think the game is more of a flyer in the model of the old helicopter games than a runner like the first RUA.

    One think I'm doing differently already is using a long dash instead of quick because I find it easier to take out giants that way.

    Yeah I just tried the setup I intended (and it's supposed to be a long dash to be at par with the slower unicorn) and I'm getting more consistent scores of 100k. I just need to figure out a path around some giants I'm having trouble with and I should break the 300k barrier too

    Edit: and there it is: 356,452. I'm now 2nd right behind Barbie Hardcore. I knew I should have redone that 2nd wish.

    Edit2: ... Took the top of the board with 413,547.

    Edit3: 627,762. It gets chock full of giants later on. And I have a goal requiring 50 stars in ONE wish? Far out, man. My last run needed like 23 more and I got over 200k in that wish

    Loved the original and in my opinion this one is even better.

    Better environments, better controls, customizable elements, and an excellent level up/replay value.

    In an App Store full of mediocre runners, this is an easy 5/5 for me.

    What would be a good idea for a update is once you join a team you cant switch teams till that event is over to keep it fair from people switching to the other team just to get the prize.

    Also if you buy the songs it should randomly play one like always one game then it switches to whatever other song you purchased at random a game meaning you get the same song in the 3 wishes but start of next game it randomly plays another song.

    also more upgrades just cause its awesome hah

    More worlds, more enemies, omg this game is so awesome .

    Also you talk about these evil serpents lets see them ? Or better yet another team to add lets play as them.

    A time limit on switching teams could work, say 12 hours before an event finishes?

    I turned the music off and played my own mp3s. And I have Always so that's a buck saved. The tear doubler interests me but I kinda wish it was a tripler.

    More upgrades and boosts would be nice. I still have to unlock 3 more but I think they can still come up with something. Maybe even another game mode?

    Ah, OK. Too bad I usually die before I get to the segment they have right now with zillions of airborne rings in a row (and when I have got there I generally miss the rings). I'll keep working on it -- I could buy out of it for 300 tears, but that seems like cheating. :)

    This dawned on my not that long after I posted. What was confusing me was the "100" -- I didn't realize it was adding to my score and I kept thinking, "So this where I got 100 something on my last run, but 100 what?"

    I might be being completely blind, but I'm not seeing an option to get to the store to buy music and custom items? I can hit the + in the top right to buy more blue things, but I can't find the normal store option. The only thing on the main menu is extras, and there's nothing there, and an option to go to the ice world.

    Help? :/

    You have to play and level up to access the IAP and customizable features.

    It tripped me up too, so I just kept playing and it unlocks.

    Loved the first game. Can someone explain to me the whole deal with the iaps? I noticed the erasure song is an iap. Does that mean i need to buy it if i want to listen while playing??
