There is still a “glitch” in Release that I seem not to be able to track down. In the video you can see it at 1:22 minutes or score of 1028 in the game – the bomber “glitches” for one…

25th of March – The real thing!
Today – coming back from my holiday trip – a short holiday note… Been playing Release on my iPhone to get to know it even closer: In case you wonder why I post this – I set a fabulous HighScore…
