Welp, Kid Tripp now has over 100,000 players.

Question for you guys!

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.

It's Wario time Yaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

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.

Checkpoints at mid level or something like that would certainly be nice.

But how about a harder mode too? If you die you return to the first level!

Meowph, that's right!

Haha, I expected (and feel pretty much exactly split between) these two responses. I love Kid Tripp's NES-like simplicity, but I feel like I'm cutting out a lot of people who have the game from enjoying it.

MeWario, would you care if you had a choice between "Casual/Intense" when you tap New Game? And if you've already beaten the game, it'd automatically have Intense selected for you (similar to "Continue" being auto-selected if a game's in progress), you'd just have to tap it. Apart from an extra screen when you tap New Game, this would have no effect on people who like playing it the way it is.

@pixelman I say allow the casual option, no harm in opening the game up to a larger audience. I'm sure there are some people that adore your game but can't get past the first levels.

I just beat this game. It is now either my 1st or 2nd favorite platformer ever (behind maybe Donkey Kong Country Returns). The last level is a masterpiece. To everyone who worked on this, kudos (even to you @Aviator. Our semi-feud can now end).
EDIT: 2-D platformer. It's my 1st or 2nd favorite 2-D platformer.
