    That's a huge number. Thanks to everyone!

    By the way, the game doesn't show your current rank on a track after you've played it (where you see how many coins you got etc) at the moment. To new players this is barely noticeable unless they already knew about this feature. I had to temporarily disable it because our servers couldn't handle all the new players at the same time, causing 5-15 second delays and "connection error" messages when doing stuff related to the leaderboards (including ghosts and other online stuff). This was the bottleneck in the server code: the server can handle over 20 times the normal amount of players without this feature. It will be restored later when the server load goes back down or when (if) we find a way to optimize it.
    At least so far nobody has complained about the missing feature and I personally think that it's better to temporarily disable a feature that's only used by guess) ~0,1% of the players than to give most of the players, especially new ones, a really bad online experience.

    Good job!! I noticed what you said.

    There is another problem, when I improved a level and I try to improve it again, almost everytime the ghost cant be loaded. that is the only problem that I found. sometimes I was waiting more than a min and no luck....

    Off Topic: Is there any problem with the 1337 Racer achievement?? Im pretty sure that i have beated more than 300 ghosts...

    I don't have l33t rider either... and that tutorial flip achievement is also not working (there's no way to get it anymore, but it's still listed in game center). And I have same problems with ghost downloading as you have. It seems that ghosts only work for the first level you play, and if I pass a level they stop working.

    Update: 1.25 million now. Lots of new players coming up every day

    No, we have separate teams for separate games. And that's one reason why I like Motoheroz so much. It feels fresh, and I do not feel dirty when I find new shortcuts (I couldn't have planted them myself)
