Any users of this game here.
While the game is enjoyable, It seems to have issues and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems.

If I play it for a while, and then go to play music, the iPod will reset itself and saving a game seems to have little affect. That is I make it to level 18, save and exit. Later on go back to the game and I'm back at level 12. I've had this happen enough that I'm pretty close to removing it from my ipod.

For 5 bucks its not a huge deal but it did look fun, but having my ipod continually reset itself and replaying the same levels over and over gets kind of frustrating.

I never had that problem.

I just can't get past the last level (29), killing that huge blow fish.

Did you restart your iPod? Try that.

After playing the game for a time, it will spontaneously restart but yes I tried manually restarting it.

I found a work around. Instead of selecting "save and exit" I just let the game time out. It retains the level I was last in. As mentioned, If tried saving the level and going back into the game at a later point, it would be several levels behind where I was.

Its a fun game and now that I can play it w/o replaying the same levels over and over I'll enjoy it even more.
