I think Bumps doing so well and it coming from an Express license puts a new angle on the Express v. Pro debate, and shows that games dont necessarily need the pro features to be successful.
A bit of publicity in the right place, and a lot of passion & sweat equity can more than make up for URL forwarding and iAds....
I hope it opens Gendai's eyes a little to the whole pricing/Express/Pro debate....
ooops... but yup... great to see the continuing upwards trend for Bumps today
utopiangames said: Been thinking about the pro situation a lot and even though its looking like we could afford it in a few days if things stay the same i don't think i can warrant $2k every year for a custom splash and url forwarding.
Even if pro had a million features its still too expensive, looking around unity springs to mind, still pricey but its a one off payment.
If GS pro was $2k and a one off payment then yes of course i would but every year?!? honestly i don't think pro is worth $500 a year never mind $2k.
Just my 2 pennies worth on pro and hey if i can do it with express you guys can too!

I agree, unless the price drops on the Pro license to at least $499, I won't be renewing. It's really not worth it.
I was also going to tell you, I have the iphone 3G, and the game doesn't open on my relic of a device.
You should put a note at the top of your description that an update will be worked on so consumers who have relic phones like me will know an update will come
I played it on the iPad however and worked like a charm!
BTW, 3G doesn't support multi-tasking natively (it is possible with a JB iPhone), so having multiple apps open isn't a factor if there is a noticeable slow down.
Okay I reset my iphone shutting it down, and turned it back on, and it worked! Loaded perfectly, so could have to do with multitasking? Does it reset when you shut it off, or 3G doesn't support it?
Thank goodness I'm getting an iphone 4 the end of this month!
So maybe if some are leaving negative reviews, just to put a notice for 3G devices and below, to shut down and restart the device?
@ Utopian... I found a bug on level 49. After a few tries...the green key on screen right doesn't reset and you can't beat the puzzle. This happened to me twice.
Also... Level 47 is too hard. Am I supposed to use that spinning thing or not?
Umm i cant repeat the bug have you tried exiting and selecting the level again?
Yes...exiting to the menu and going back in resets it. It only breaks it after several unsuccessful tries (this was another level that has hung me up . Seems to be a reset switch doesn't fire on that key and once it doesn't...it remains broken until you go to main menu and re-enter. The first time...I chalked it up to a GS quirk...but when it did it twice...I thought maybe you have a switch mis-timed.
Its not a huge issue...but just thought I would bring your attention to it.
BTW: I suspect at the 50 level...you are probably around 3000 sales.
Its amazing how about 6 months ago almost no one got this far with their apps, and now GS is invading the app store with hit apps! GS is expanding!!!!!!!!

Phew....nightmare over...i think lol.

Yeah a lot of apps have this issue, and I've seen many descriptions say, reset your device, and the game will work, especially with 3G and below.
No issues at all now! Game runs smoothly!

Wondering if 2morros sales will reach 2k?

I will have another look 2morro (tried it about 20 times resetting but couldn't break it).
Its a hard level as its near the end so i would expect others to have the same bug as you as they will need to reset a lot.
Have you completed level 50? this one is my fav.
Darren.
BTW:
I thought I remembered you saying you guys did ALL the original music for this...GREAT SOUNDTRACK!!!
Top 50 Paid!!!!!!
This is so great!
It inspires me as I work on my game.
Another GS game, Sheep on Trampolines, is in New and Noteworthy this week too.
It's nice to see so much GS love on the App Store!
Yeah the drum and bass soundtrack is a new one for the iphone.
yes lets hope theres a GS invasion!
Darren.
