Btw, I love your remixed music player! > Select Level You're right that this may cause confusion. In the full version we're using a completely new level chooser which doesn't have this problem. If I get some spare time I will definitely update the demo with the new level choser, though at the moment we're busy preparing some updates for the full version :) > Resume Game Actually the "Start Game" button in the main menu does that: it takes you to the last played level. But it's true that this button's naming isn't very clear. In the full version the levels aren't completely linear as in the demo version, so it's not clear what would be "the last level they did not complete" since there may be different ones. That's the reason why we chose to go to the last played level, to get a consistent behaviour. > No Popup There are levels and situations where you can die right from the start. In these cases I find it very annoying when you die all the time without some time to relax and have a look at that level. Though we could detect these cases and only show the popup then, but for me personally it's important to have a consistent behaviour, that's the reason why we decided to show the popup all the time. Also, it looks nice, doesn't it? ;-) Hi Dan, thanks for your feedback, it’s really appreciated! Btw, I love your remixed music player!

> Select Level
You’re right that this may cause confusion. In the full version we’re using a completely new level chooser which doesn’t have this problem. If I get some spare time I will definitely update the demo with the new level choser, though at the moment we’re busy preparing some updates for the full version :)

> Resume Game
Actually the “Start Game” button in the main menu does that: it takes you to the last played level. But it’s true that this button’s naming isn’t very clear. In the full version the levels aren’t completely linear as in the demo version, so it’s not clear what would be “the last level they did not complete” since there may be different ones.

It took me awhile to figure out that I had to go back to the main screen and tap "Start Game". - Have a "Resume Game" button on the main screen so people can automatically resume at the last level they did not complete. - When you die, do not issue a popup. Just restart the level automatically. If the user wants to exit, they can just swipe backwards in the gesture area. After playing with the demo a bit I have a few suggestions:
