Hey Don, I just started tutorial 1 and it took a while for your voice to kick in... and it was soft... I'm trying again now... ;-) Thanks for all the things that you are doing man, ur a front runner in many ways! ;-) Jake. Edit.1 <> 2nd time around your voice, explanation of the game, started when I got closer to the computer... Edit.3 Still in a hurry I guess. Playing on PC I feel more power with the WASD keys then using the mouse thruster... like my ship is heavy... it turns quick but up down takes a while... will let u know more when I have some gametime in.

[KitchenDon]

Thanks for the feedback, Jake.

The video is supposed to start if/when you get close to that giant computer. Didn't want it to start every time someone was trying to beat their score on that level.

I guess the ship does feel kind of 'heavy', compared to the amount of thrust it generates. Takes a little time to cancel out any downward momentum. You Shouldn't be struggling to get off the ground or anything, tho.

I found the Beta-V3!
I made a short explanation on how to here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/340450/discussions/1/2425614539584284141/

I got lucky to change that this year for another game, otherwise.. don't know.
Perhaps you put it somewhere allready and I overlooked ;-)

[JakeSimmer]

Well, I'm testing my ass of LOL.
One thing that has happened is if you forget to esc. out of the game when you leave the computer for a while is the ship has disappeared when I come back and I have to X out of the game and restart.

My favourites are the Ring Runners. Some names at the start of the level are not the same as when you choose your level tho. e.g. 1- Baby Rings v.s. Teathing Rings.
Looking for the Widgets is also a great feature but I've missed them in the Tuturial. I have seen in older vids that they used to be there... On other levels you sure have hidden them well...

Do you know if there is a setting on every keyboard to get 4 keys pressed at the same time noticed? or do not all keyboards have that feature? Thanks again Don!

Thanks for an awesome game KitchenDon, the leaderboards make it extra fun forcing you to go as fast as you can while being as careful as possible. Thanks again!

[JakeSimmer]

Ur beating some nice hightscres Rael!

[KitchenDon]

Thank Rael, glad that you're having fun. Now that we have the glboal leaderboards, I wish I'd had them from the biggining. Really does make it more more fun.

Hello KitchenDon, the leaderboard are great. I love coming back every few days to see if someone has posted a high score and then trying to beat it. Am currently trying to figure out how "Deozann" (I think thats the name) posted a score of 44 seconds on the "Crowd Control" level... its got me stumped, but thats half the fun!
Hi JakesBro, I enjoy the competition! the way I see it is that it makes us both better at a game we love to play. I have to admit, though, that you are leaps and bounds ahead of me in "Ringrunner'. I am practicing , so maybe one day I can be a challenge for you.

[JakeSimmer]

I do love that Ringrunner... the different corners mixed with up and down and the length of the tracks is really challenging. Never an easy race ;-) Use that R butten alot, find a track that sutes you and keep on keeping on. Love to see that more different names appear. Have really been selling this game alot online. Hope that worked a bit. C u out there mate! ;-)

[KitchenDon]

Dezoann has been playing for al ong time - helped me test and de-bug early versions of the game. I'll have to go see if I can take over that top spot.

You can do that Crowd Control pretty quick if you just don't give the Rollers a chance to catch up to you. Pop in, land, and leave before they can get up enough speed.

best way, for the pads inside the big structure; ya gotta kind of fake em out. Head over towards the right pad and when they start to follow you, switch real quick and land on the left pad. If you time it just right you'll be taking off just as they catch up, then you have a few seconds to get over to the right pad before they can turn around.

[Rael]

Ok KitchenDon, thank you for the tip I'll have to give it a go and see how I fare. :)

Hi KitchenDon, I have been playing this game now for a while as well and enjoying it a lot. Have beaten some high scores as well. I just want to report a bug. In level 10 ring runner (Geo) the third widget (bottom of the purple ball) can't be picked up.
An idea for some new achievements would be: collect all 75 stars in Ring Runner, collect all 75 stars in Pad Hopper, collect all 150 stars. Bad luck: crash within 5 seconds of the game. Grinder: Stay alive for more than 500 seconds in a game. Can't sleep: login the game between 2 and 5 am. Addict: play the game more than 6 hours in a single day.
Just some ideas. I love the achievements and always try to get 3 stars for every level.

[KitchenDon]

Hello JesusfreakkAlex, thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at the Geo level and make sure I didn't mess up the collectibles. I'm currently playing through the entire game with a fresh account to make sure all the achievements are working properly. Let me know if you see any other problems. :)

[KitchenDon]

OK, I finally found the time to fix the broken/missing collectibles. Sorry for the delay. I'm still working on a few more bugs and tweaks to the leaderboards. thanks to everyone for the feedback, and patience.
