    Yea I wonder if it bothers devs, they probably hear us complain all the time about it, which is the last thing they want to hear about when they are nervously waiting for us to get our hands on their new games. I kind of feel bad about it now that I think about it. It's really just apples fault, wish there was some where better for us to complain that unlike those crappy customer support things

    There's nothing they can do about it, it's the AppStore. However, yes, one of the devs is on this thread and is aware.

    Game could be fun but the tracks are not randomized so I lost interest after a few runs.

    ...but that's the point of the game. You're on the same track, using the corpses of your past runs to get farther and farther.

    Just noticed the corpses in the screenshots, so now I'm totally getting this.

    I think the corpses are your character remains after many failed attempts. You can see where you last died. Kind of funny and amusing. Worth downloading just to see the corpse :)

    So the issue was fixed.

    I'm actually liking the game. Yes it's an endless type of runner but I like how you can use your corpses from previous attempts.

    Its actually tough as nails but fun.

    WOWZERS!!! Game is crazy hard... but oh so fun, satisfying, and incredibly enjoyable. I love the way you can use the little guys to help you reach areas in your next run... I've said 'just one more life' so many times now, I can't count... I finally had to just put my phone down. =oP

    This game is all kinds of awesome. I've only had a chance to play a few minutes (can't wait to get home tonight), but it's fun, hard, great looking, quirky and super well put together. Really nice job, devs!
     
  13. This game is lots of fun. I like the creepy "try harder" voice over when you die.

    It takes a lot for an endless runner to find its way on to my device these days. I really love this one. It feels like they have taken a brutally hard classic NES platformer and turned it in to a runner. The concept is great.

    I like the game, just wish there was a greater sense of progression, or a more enjoyable sense of high score climbing. The mechanics all feel sound, just wish there were unlockables and other things to keep me playing. Maybe if the mechanics were deeper or there was more to the game that wouldn't matter as much, otherwise cool art style, music, and overall feel.

    This game is very similar in feel to Bit Trip Runner (it even copies the rainbow trail behind you that you can build up to in the Runner games). On the other hand, it brings it's own style too.

    I love that your dead bodies from previous runs actually help make the next run easier, by offering a buffer of protection.

    (Sometimes they seem to glitch though, and the dead bodies are not where they're supposed to be... and then end up either floating in the air above where you died, or below under the ground where they can't help.)

    It's really sad to see cool new games come out and then have their message board threads fill up with junk about the apple store not working properly instead of posts about how cool the game is.

    You can play this on your iPhone instead. No need to wait for an android port ;)
