    Wow, great to see so many positive responses. We are really excited about how the game turned out. There's really nothing like it on the iPhone. The levels are huge, instead of just one screen to roll around on. Jumping is an integral part of the gameplay too.

    Is jumping handled by just tapping on the screen?

    That's correct Will090. You can tap anywhere on the screen to jump. If you tap and hold for just a bit longer, the ball supercharges and you can jump much higher/further.

    We decided to use the whole screen for tapping/jumping as to not restrict the player in how they are most comfortable holding the iPhone.

    Jumping under special "targets" can do things like change the ball size, call a moving platform or even turn up the lights. :)

    Not long now epedemix, we are very close to posting a release date and pricing.

    What would you consider a good price for LMB?

    love the looks of this, will be buying.

    not sure about the pricing, you should just keep that decision to yourselves i think as we dont know what has gone into making it exactly. (in terms of time and money investment)

    either way ill look forward to its release :)

    After re-watching the video, I would gladly pay $4.99 for this, although anything past $2.99 is pushing your luck with most people on thie forum...
