  I'll repeat again graphic looks quite awesome
  For now it was a little bit hard to understand which objects you can collect and which you need to shoot (it seemed that only bigger need to be shoot, but then some average size also dealt some damage to Alvin) well my point is, they should be quite easy distinguishable (almost without thinking).
  
  And a question, why it runs to the left side, all runner games I've seen always run to the right side. Just interesting is there a reason behind it?
  
  And about loosing and leaving all the robot junk, this is how you can actually visualize past users records. When you go past the previous (or 10 previous) attempt results, there could lay the scraps of a previous robot (just an idea)

  @plamen are you left-handed? My brain is feeling pain, watching this video cause of this from right to left movement - it's unusual as for platform/run games, don't you think? Anyway looks and sounds awesome! Congrats!

  I liked the way it ran from right to left, but then I like things that aren't normal!

  I take it it's obvious we went against many rules of game-making. Got to have more fun breaking some rules, no? Right to left, collect junk as bonuses, hang teddybears on electric poles, have a meditative quality to the play rather than stressful (although it does get messy past 1000 meters), and release our hard work for free in the app store. Dunno, we just felt like swimming upstream for a bit.

  @ar2rsawseen The concept about junk left from previous run is awesome. The problem is our idea to support slower devices and we are not exactly sure of CPU budget on them. Our lowest test device is Ipod4 not really a test for low-res content. Ah, about the right to left movement. We salute Arabian players. As you know they read right to left and there is no need to be left handed to do it ;-) in fact we needed just a minute to adapt and breaking the rules are foundation of this 5 day project. What about point numbers

  The L.A.S.E.R. sound is freakin' EXCELLENT. It is so satisfying.

  Good job, I was also going to ask about the reasoning behind the scrolling going the opposite way but I figured "why not break the rules", who set the rules in the first place and why?

  Plamen rigged the main character. Dark art skills in my book...

  @gorkem, us too! the production in CoS is an order of magnitude more involved, to the extent that we really did Alvin as a break from looking at CoS (but we did pour the usual love in).
