It still needs a way to save a game after each completed level so you don't have to start over from the beginning. Got the update and appreciate the improvements.

Some heavy iphone tilting from level 4 on but it's kinda fun that way. A "Start from level XY" feature would be nice I like it. Some heavy iphone tilting from level 4 on but it's kinda fun that way.

I think the only "walls" that should send you to the start are the fence-type walls. If you bump into the side of the canyon as it is, I think it should just bounce you right off. One other thing: I would love to be able to speed up the ball or slow it down by tilting the iPhone forward and back. Kind of like how Super Monkey Ball works :) Okay, after playing this game for a bit longer... I think the only "walls" that should send you to the start are the fence-type walls.

It frustrates me the same way Monkey Ball frustrated me, but Monkey Ball also makes fun, is cute, strange, motivates with the music style and has great level ideas, where from level 1 to 4 in Bii I only see the same stuff in different colors again. So there's only the frustration left. Which is a bummer. Checkpoints would be great. A shield with which you can break walls (EXPLODE!) would be great. I also noticed that you can change the view angle with your finger while tapping with the finger "somewhere" lets the ball shoot into this direction. This explains, why sometimes I shoot in the wrong direction, because I thought, it would only shoot to the front of me. Further, the collision detection is too harsh. When I shoot a cube and touch the cube a millisecond before it explodes, I'm gone. While I like that some game devolopers listen to what customers say, it's strange to see that the work of searching ideas for gameplay and level design comes from customers after they bought the product. Bootant needs to do more conceptual work, instead of putting a tech demo (sorry) on the store, which evolves after feedback to a real game. I tried it a few times again yesterday.
