    sync your ipod to your computer and restore from backup so you don't loose anything, other than that just wait for an update to the game.

    mabye contact the developer too

    When is the update out ? Don't see it yet.
    Also, is it possible to add the option to delete prizes you got doubles of?

    Lydia, not sure if you're a Graveck or Freeverse rep. But I just wanted to add my compliments to you both on a game well designed:)

    Actually, I should yell at you for the absolute decline of productivity that Skee-Ball has caused me;)

    Regards,

    Richard

    Thanks, Richard! So glad you are liking the game! I'm from Freeverse, and I'll pass it on to my team!

    Sorry about the productivity decline..if it becomes a problem, you could write it off as preventative medicine? Ensuring future finger joint health?

    And @drelbs : I knew that taco-collecting niche market was out there somewhere...

    I found a bug.............Sometimes I like to toss the ball one after the other very quickly and I have had 2 or 3 balls get stuck in the same cup and I have to reset the game.

    I am hoping you can add more balls and special effects to them....the sun ball is very cool:) I find that collecting all the different balls or more fun than collecting the prizes.

    Maybe you could also add different kinds of alleys to shoot the ball on just for variety or maybe a defferent style(s) to the existing one ?

    Another idea to avoid double prizes is that if you already have that prize, the game could ask: are you sure you want to buy this again ? My double prizes (the small ones) kinda bother me ands I wish I could get rid of them (delete botton would be good for that)

    ok, enough babbling form me:)

    Great game !!!

    I love skee ball, but i dont love this app. I find the physics of the ball to be off and it really takes away from the fun of the game. I can rarely get 100s just because theres no medium between flicking too hard/too soft. As of the moment, im def regretting this purchase.

    I've managed to get all 100s several times, and can consistently get 7 or 8. The physics are actually pretty good, I suggest giving it some more practice.

    The physics in Ramp Champ don't seem as good. This uses Nvidia's Physx engine, which is an industry-leading physics simulator.

    If you're going for 100s, it is best to swipe diagonally across the screen. Also, you can tilt the device to put spin on the ball both in the air and on the ground.

    Yes, play around with it some more. It took me a while, but now I'm completely hooked on this game. Kmacleod is right, swipe diagonally for the 100's. You'll get in a rhythm, and get a feel for how hard your flick should be. Then you'll get all excited cause it will start raining 100's :) I have yet to get all 100's, I got 8 out of 9 so far (grrrr) but Ima keep trying. Also, although I love using the accelerometer to tilt the ball, I think it's easier to get 100's if you turn it off in the options. Give it a try. I love this game. I can't wait to see someone get the 8,000 score!

    Please put out an update with some really cool new balls :)

    The prizes are "meh" to me since you can't use them in the game.
