Bumping coins and floating thingamajigs with the rocket's snout doesn't quite cut it for me. I'm not cutting the gameplay down, I was just expecting something different.

Please go update. If I can, toucharcade you might want to re-review it. The new version with accelerometer gameplay just becomes a LOT easier and more fun. Most of the people we gave to play the game that were previously a little frustrate can now play the game, and they really enjoy it! In addition we sped up the game a LOT, there's now roughly 50% more frames per second! It's impressive. Cheers, and thanks all for your patience. Other great features like Online Ranked High Scores and Localization for some of the major languages, a few new levels since now it's easier to beat, and you can actually get to level 8 regularly (with some practice, hehe), and others. Later guys! - Neon Surge Hey guys, version 1.1 went live finally last night and it fixes ALL the bugs. Please go update. If I can, toucharcade you might want to re-review it.
