ikr? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?! seriously though, the goal is to get a whole bunch more people playing/talking about it, and that'll hopefully bump up daily sales from word of mouth/exposure/stuff/dontaskmeidontknowwhatimdoing.
It really is a good game, quite difficult but not difficult-difficult.
Thanks for making it free @pixelman! I'll recommend it to others.
Do you truly look at things positively? For example, do you look at the glass like it's always full? (Half water, half air.) Or when someone "lets the cat out of the bag," do you think it's because the person felt sorry for the cat stuck in the bag? There is a positive side to almost everythin...
@Jahir It's written in Objective-C, and I used Xcode to write it.
...you used XCODE???! you sir, are a genius. i do consider myself pretty good at writing code, but you used xcode?! i've had that software for MONTHS! it's such a hassle to write in! it's just such a cruddy programming tool, imo! how did you manage to write a whole game on it? it keeps freezing my mac and closing itself! i can't run any program without it closing!

Blue blue.

Haha, yeah, Xcode is pretty infamous for that kind of thing, but I haven't had any significant stability issues with it. How old's your Mac?
Also my estimations were a bit... low. Kid Tripp was downloaded 42,000 times yesterday.
How would you all feel about an "easy"/"casual" mode? Part of me doesn't want to compromise, but I think it'd be nice if less-experienced gamers could enjoy it too. I'm thinking you'd be able to take two or three hits before you die (maybe if Tripp gets hit once his hat falls off, and if he gets hit again he dies), and I might add checkpoints in certain levels. Also, in this mode there'd be no leaderboards; if you want to compete, you'll have to sink your teeth into the original super-hard mode.
Basically I'm mainly planning on adding iOS 7 controller support and iCloud backups, and I think this would also be a nice thing to do while I'm at it. Thoughts?

Eww, no thanks! It's an amazing game as it is, don't change it With it's old school visuals, it will only have very limited appeal for 'casual gamers' anyway, so it'd be a waste of time and ruin the integrity of the game. Just how I feel anyway. Your game is perfect.
I think that's a good idea to expand the appeal. There's nothing wrong with optional difficulty levels.
For the people that are fans of the original, hardcore version, it will still be there. They are losing absolutely nothing. But adding more fans into the fold would be cool. Not everyone is a hardcore gamer, and I think this is a game that absolutely could appeal to "casuals" for a number of reasons. Not only the graphics that will remind them of the NES days, but runners in general are very popular.
