"Don't buy this game by Anueng. 1/5
Does not work if you have iOS4.0.2 in other word the latest update from apple."
I think this is genuine so i give up with GS, might go back to Molusk Engine (made by a friend) as we had 0 users complaining Tumble Jumble didn't work.
It's ok when a few have problems but to have more and more users saying things like this is just crazy, it must be a GS thing.
I might continue to make snack time games under 5mb but no more big title from us using GS.
Sorry guys but i'm really pissed off.

Don't Leave!!!
EDIT: The idiot that wrote that last review likely had 100 apps running due to multitasking and didn't even realize it. Your going to get reviews like this no matter what game engine you use - there will always be people that don't know how to properly use their iDevices.
I don't think he has jail broken, not 100% but doesn't all new updates delete apps if its a JB device?
Sigh sigh sigh
Darren.
Molusk is pretty neat tbh but you need to be able to code, it has android, facebook, twitter, box 2d etc and you can publish to a lot of platforms....it's his own framework made over the last few years using code blocks.
Darren.
I think even the best of apps get these reviews.
Your also dealing with uneducated people that love to whine and complain about things that are, unbeknownst to them, their own damn fault.
I wouldn't give some of those reviews too much thought
Can always rely on you lot to cheer me up...rant over:P
Darren.
Take those reviews with the tiniest grain of salt! Seriously...!
I love it when you see rants, and they misspell every other word like "Waist" of money, or whatever misspellings are there, it really is telling of your client base
I don't see what this has to do with GameSalad. It doesn't make sense to me. You're one of the top success stories with GameSalad. Instead of making you an advocate for the software, the opposite seems to have occurred.
On the Android Market, I've gotten 1 star reviews because some people didn't like changes I made to a completely different app. At least with the iTunes App Store, you can bury the bad reviews with an update.
I keep reading these posts from you and I have to say, it's really disheartening to hear how you react to the negative reviews.
As Tshirt says, you cannot be responsible for how other people use their devices.
If you hadn't tested it thoroughly (which some people don't do, GS or not, and I *know* that you did test it) then you might have cause for concern.
You did all that you could within your power to make a polished game. Just accept that either it's not everyone's cup of tea, or that you have no power over the possibility of your game crashing under certain conditions.
Please, stop being so hard on yourself and GS - you have made the most successful game ever with GS - be happy and proud of that!

People will always blame you for issues beyond your control, because that's what they do.
Like QS said so eloquently, don't blame yourself!
Go read some of the reviews for the best of the best apps in the top 25 and you will see people whining about things that aren't the fault of the developer.
You made a great game, and it's still sitting around #10 in puzzlers which is not easy!
I LOVE GS, just i keep reading so many memory leak issues and this and that makes me think it could be linked to my game not working.
Ohh and above all i love you guys and this great forum
Darren.
First off, the game is great! Everyone on the team here was thoroughly impressed - not just with how much fun the game is (which is a LOT!), but also with how innovative you were with using the physics within the GameSalad engine. Some of the best curved surfaces I've seen made using the tool. Well done all around!
Also, I can say from my personal experience, that the game runs fine. I have a 3G iPhone for my personal phone and I have Bumps installed. It's currently running iOS 4.0.2 and Bumps runs without a hitch. In fact, it's faster than most other games I have on my phone.
Just wanted to chime in and let you know how proud the Gendai team is of the game you've made. Congrats on such a wonderful product.

If we get Bumps back in the top 25 can we have a discount on Pro so we can promote the lite properly
Darren.
I would guess 1 out of 20 that like it leave a review
and 20 our of 20 that don't like it leave a review because they are frustrated.
Doodle jump gets killer reviews because they have a loyal fanbase that updates like a cult.
I would start trying to get viral with Bumps. Its silly and worthy enough for it.
Get a couple hundred facebook fans and see if it takes off.
Dont forget how fanatic facebook teens are.
I spent $25 dollars and got around 40 fans in about 3 hours for a game of mine.
You may not even have to spend money... !@#$%, just put the face book "F" in your game and say dont forget to be a fan on the main title page.
You dont need facebook support or even the pro to be proactive with some huge viral effects
....just another one of my 2 cents

Check out the reviews.
Now do you see that it's not GS' fault?
