The game is now live in Ireland and going world wide this Sunday! I would love people to play it. Its been a bit of a dream to make games for me and this is our first professional offering! (and we think its a lot of fun )

Thanks and please rate it (and maybe "like" it?) if you would, whatever you think its worth!

Hehe, if you look at our trailer... its right there in big letters "No one said it was going to be easy!"
But the track isnt just random stuff... we've designed it and you can learn it so over time you will get there. (invincibility helps *cough*)

I'm a little worried about the iPhone 5 report there. Is anyone else playing on an iPhone 5? Is it ok for you?

We're hoping early next week. The current plan is to put it worldwide on Sunday night but we might want to test it a little more because of the occasional crash reports...

I got a crash when I swiped down to choose a power up while invincible and floating over a gap in the road.

Also, is there a way to not to have to choose a power up if you accidentally swipe down?

Thanks for the info - any more detail on this - did the game freeze?

We thought about this but the problem is that it can be abused if you can slomo, then cancel. One idea for next update is you can cancel but lose the slomo for that powerup, but can still activate it manually without swiping down...

Btw - game forum for bug reports etc. is over here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1568

Let my 12 yr old play it to see if he liked it.
He played for an hr till my battery went dead, so it gets a thumbs up from him..:)
Not from me though, now I'll never have my phone!!!

Cool game, gets very hard when your within 5k.. Its the kind of game I get a serious urge to have to finish though, only problem is I reckon I'd need the restart & the invincibility to do that. And seen as you only get an extra 250 coins or so each time you play and those 2 power ups cost 4,500 I have to play about 20 games without a power up just to gather enough coins to have the 2 I want.. That could frustrate me enough to delete the game..
My suggestion would be either to give one free power up each game or award more coins, maybe the amount of points achieved divided by 100...
But I think it's a really cool game all in all, with cool sounds to match.. If you let it go for free for a couple of weeks till it takes off then charge .79c, it should sell..
Or if you leave this one for free and charge for the follow ups when ppl r hooked
Best of luck
