    I got the dreaded rejection letter from Apple when submitting an update, so that totally bummed me out. It seems to be some mistake on their end, so I resubmitted and have to go right back to the end of the queue. So I feel pretty bummed about that... It had OpenFeint support, Achievements, some tweaks to game play.

    SO, in honour of getting rejected by Apple, I'm going to hold a TouchArcade members only highscore contest. The winner gets a $50 iTunes card. So the highest forum member's score takes it.

    The rules are simple. Take a screenshot of your score at the Game Over screen and email it to me [lin [at] chear [dot] ca] along with your forum name.

    There's no minimum number of entrants, so if you're the only one who submits a screen shot, you win :)

    The competition ends Sept 30th 2009 9am EST. I'll post the result and contact you via PM / email. If you don't have a copy, the current price is 99cents.

    App Store link in my signature.

    Catenaez

    Update
    Two more prizes added:

    2nd and 3rd place will get $15 iTunes cards.

    You can submit as many times as you want. I'll only look at your highest submission. You may only win one of the three prizes. There's only 2 submissions so far so your chances are still good :)

    Update 2:
    iTunes Connect fixed. Price is now 99cents. Yay!

    Update 3:
    Touch Arcade Ranks
    1. Real Racing Fan - 569820 - $50
    2. skyye06 - 450800 - $15
    3. OPEN - $15

    Well, I can't even beat LordGek, and the No. 1 highscore is impossible to reach!
    Thanks for the contest. Are multiple entries allowed?

    you can always check "hi-scores" and right now the three top scores:
    189830
    165100
    49270

    if you really want the $50 card i think continuous playing will get you there, but now there everyone will be fighting over it;)

    My current score is 37820 but it did not register in the chart as the game crashed while loading the score. Luckily I took a screenshot before that.

    I get that at times too. Game needs some tweaking, too bad the update was rejected

    Well, I can't seem to lower my price from $1.99 to 99cents because iTunes Connect is still broken, so I'll add in two more prizes.

    2nd and 3rd place will get $15 iTunes cards.

    You can submit as many times as you want. I'll only look at your highest submission. You may only win one of the three prizes.

    It's pretty easy going so far since there's only two submissions ;) I'm going by what you submit to me in email, so don't forget those screenshots!

    Hints:
    * The longer your tail, and more complex your chain is, the more points you get.
    * Doing combo chains also boosts your score multiplier. ie, red, yellow, yellow, yellow, red, red. The first pop will get rid of the yellow and leave you with red, red, red. Pop again and you get chain combo bonuses.
    * Don't touch your tail or go through your body. If you do, you'll tangle yourself which slows you down ;) I'll make it clear what is happening in that case in the next update.
