Nice one mate. Can someone tell me what are people's high scores? I've got an iPhone 3G so it won't log in to GameCenter. My highest is about 4900....but I'm not sure if that's any good.

Top score at the moment is 8719.
Mine is 8117, currently 6th highest.

For GF day you should make it free haha

Just got the third highest score on Level 1. Got the full boost, cleared the first guy with my jump as I started to rotate forward, stood on the second guy who bumped me onto the third guy's shoulders, who rocked me back a little bit, and then I fell forward.

Got 1169 for that.

Mick, quick suggestion - make a menu so that you can either do a playthrough from Level 1 until you fail the mark, or you can pick any level you've already unlocked? But you can only unlock later levels in the playthrough. Something like that, maybe.

Will post some awesome screenshots soon.

1169 is a great score! Obviously I played this game a lot during testing, I think my highest score for any level was just over 1,400 but it was a complete fluke where I'd get tossed up into the air and knocked forward and somehow managed to flip the player over. It looked awesome.

Thanks for the suggestions - thats a good idea about letting the player choose their gameplay option. I'll put that on the To Do list.

Any tips on how to up the 'Pack Ride' stat mick? I keep getting low numbers for it. Should I maybe jump a bit later and hope to get up there more?

 

[Richo is God]

2nd on the leaderboards!

2nd on the leaderboards!

Assuming you mean overall, then thanks to me, you're third now.

Dropped the level 10 mark, too.

Ive got 1300 odd on a mark before, and got about 9400 for the full 10 when i was offline away from my wifi, got the swiping down pat and its a really replayable game

 

[Scootyb]

how do i submit my highest score haha? On the leaderboards it says its 5643, but on the main menu its 9200?

You've got to get a ride basically, the score goes up while you're touching an opponent and moving at the same time.

If you get a new high score, it should upload it automatically assuming you have gamecenter turned on and a net or data connection.

I might add an "upload all scores" button in the update just in case this doesn't happen. 9200 is an awesome score!

 

[Scootyb]

Thanks bro, great game, well worth the money

 

[Eth]

You still won't be first, Scooty. 9446 just then. 1430 odd on last level too.

Worth three times what I paid, mick.

 

[micksolo]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Thanks also to the people who left reviews on the app store, its really appreciated.

Would you mind giving us a run down of how you score in each scoring stat? Especially a little more info on this pack thing I cant get above 45 points in that.

I tend to get a fairly good pack ride score in the later levels when the other guys push my player off the screen.

Also, the crowd's mouths have a white line at the top when they're open. Just letting you know.

Sure,

* Air - The highest point of your jump
* Pack Ride - The total amount of time you're touching an opponent while in the air and moving
* Distance - The total distance from where you jumped to where you end up
* Hang Time - The total amount of time your player is in the air
* Style - I don't want to give this one away...work it out for yourself

in the last hour, I've hit 8900, 9100 and 9200 after level nine. In the jumps on level ten I went straight up, straight into the pack and straight up respectively. As a result my screen's slightly more cracked.

Mick, be sympathetic and bump my high score up to 9800. Either that or fix the bugged up jumping for me on level ten.

 

[BlackMamba]

Managed to fluke 1311 in a mark!!!
Distance 182
Pack Ride 256
Hang Time 299
Air 214
Style 358

No idea how I did it, or how to do something like that again.

I've found you need to do different marks in different levels.... i.e early levels you can try jumping earlier....but the later ones there's only really one place to jump from otherwise you'll miss the grab....
Dunno, would like to hear people's thoughts on this.

 

[delediofan3]

you have to pay for it -.-

 

[Quivorir]

Would hate to give a small time developer some coin for his hard work eh?

 

[HBK619]

Yeah, damn rip off merchants.

How dare somebody ask for $1 for a game (a game that from all reports is fantastic too)!
