Update 3.5 Nearing Completion

We've been working on an update mostly for people that have been experiencing a weird slowdown bug. The last patch should have increased speeds for everyone across the board, but a few people have had large slowdowns on lava levels. If you've been having this problem, please post below with your OS version.

Full list of Update 3.5 changes:

- Fixing the slowdown bug some people are having.
- Making Hookbot immune to the ghosts on the newest levelset.
- OpenFeint scoreboards for the latest levels.
- OpenFeint save restore functionality.

This will delay Update 4 slightly, which should now be in early February. Update 4 will be another big update, and will include new levels. These levels, and all levels in the future, will be new "normal difficulty" extra level sets. These will all be available without having to beat Bull, and will generally be more casual levels.

Awesome news!

So no plans for new characters? I would be more than happy to spend my (irony) euro earned with sweat (/irony) for (love towards cosmetic characters)EVEN (/love towards cosmetic characters)a cosmetic character!

Well are you going to make Hookbot fireproof? Armor you can buy via shop?

Also when are you gutting the leaderboards so I can be number 1! ;)
I've gotten quite good. Almost all achievements unlocked 4 more!

No plans for new DLC for Hook Champ. We'll do a bunch of characters for our next game.

Hookbot fireproofing might be in update 4.

Weekly leaderboards reset most likely this weekend.

Alright, I'm almost done with the hardest level set, I'm on the third level. I feel the second one is MUCH easier than the first as it only took me 2 tries ;).

This weekend means today tomorrow or sunday ;P I better be ready to hit number 1! Thanks.

I've had the game unexpectedly quit on the silver hatbox level, it seems to happen when touching the ceiling against the wall, above one of the lava ceilings.

I look forward to the new updates, but I don't think you should give Hookbot chaser immunity on the Forbidden Hats, The Bronze Hatbox was just MADE for him.

I, I mean it literally was, it has a solid gold head inside.
