    I saw this post too late. +1

    As someone above mentioned, signing out of Game Center is the way to go if you're having craaaaaaaashing issues. Game is pretty dope. And I actually think the music is pretty offensive. Looping sucks.

    Game needs polish. The front-end, anyway.

    Crashing, no auto-screen rotation or custom soundtracks for a game that can only benefit from this option.


    And frame rate drops that really mess up momentum. Comes out of nowhere. On 4S, at least.

    No crashes and the game does have auto-screen rotation (flip, anyways)...not sure why peeps are having so many issues with the game.

    Interesting. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

    Alright, these are my last impressions.

    I love this game.

    Though the music good, the looping is grating. Having to turn it off was a bummer. But not having the option of custom tunes is even more of one.

    That being said, besides sometimes iffy movement inputs and slowdown when inside (iPhone 4S) this one is too too too addictive.

    I love the graphics style. And I love how fluid everything is- it's dazzling to see parkour this realistic in an iOS app- hell, any app.

    Wish there were more story bits, but whatever.

    99 cents for this is an appsolute steal.


    Also, if you don't like trial and error gameplay stay faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar away.

    Yep - no issues with my 4S or iPad2 - very, very good. Need to properly memorise the levels via trial and error. I really really like this.

    The game is very addictive and very fun to play. Looks like it worked it's way up from the Zombie Parkour Runner formula, and the devs did a pretty good job with the gameplay and animations.

    As i've mentioned on my first impressions, the game doesnt have the best soundtrack and comes a bit short on that, and the Game Center crashes are a big problem. Im sure there will be a lot of 1-star review on the appstore because of that, so i hope the devs do something about it quick before they lose any attention.

    This looks fantastic, the iAP worries me though. Can you buy single-use boost items via currency?

    Dont worry about IAP... you dont need it EVER. Im not even sure why you'd want to use the consumable items in this game, as they are more of a panic button if you made mistakes during your runs.

    But yes, the consumables can be bought with ingame currency.

    I'm disappointed a game called 'Vector' doesnt feature vector graphics ! (My favourite type !)

    From the screenshots must admit it doesnt look bad

    Gameplay-wise it is fantastic though.

    But the crashes for others need to stop. Unless the devs fix it, nobody would give a damn about their game which should have been a great addition to anyone's library. IF IT WORKS FOR THEM.

    I have to say, it would have been nice at least to hear from a dev that they're aware of the issues and are working on a fix. As it is, I don't even know whether to keep the app on my device or just delete it and write it off as "one of those things."

    Definitely worth a look.

    I've had one crash on startup but I'm not using Game Centre and I'm using an iPhone build on my iPad because I'm too tight to pay £1.99 for a sideways runner especially when its not a universal build ;)

    A couple of things it needs for me, an endless mode and a universal build.
    And of course to fix the crashing problem others are experiencing.

    Having said that its still become my favourite runner above canabalt.

    I noticed there's no dev feedback on this post at all so I've emailed the devs about it and hopefully they will respond with some news on fixes.

    No serious crash issues for me. For anyone else not experiencing crashes, do NOT download the update. Cash pickup value went from 50 to 10. Making it take serious amounts of grinding or a forced IAP to actually unlock the store content.
    So, yes, epic failure.
    The worst part about this is that I'm actually really enjoying this and it seems like the developer doesn't care if the game is broken for a lot of people and seems intent on making the experience less enjoyable for people it does work for.

    $.99 was a steal for this game ( assuming it works on your device ). I'd have rather paid more instead of having a game structure that makes hours of grinding or purchasing smurf berries the only way to get unlocks. That seems to be what the new update is all about.... Mmmm.... Smurfberries.
