Tumblecaps - FREE for a limited time!

Sometimes there is a game that redefines the genre.
Sometimes there is a game that redefines reality itself.
Then sometimes, there's just an awesome arcade game that gets the adrenaline pumping and the critics talking. That game, is Tumblecaps!
September is just around the corner, which means the huge 2.0 update of Tumblecaps is sneaking up on us like a bullet train on a pumpkin! But let's be fair - not all of you have played Tumblecaps quite yet. According to the sensors in the orbital space station where I do my game development, there are a number of you in California, Texas and Amsterdam who have not yet played Tumblecaps. So I have taken off the censors, removed the locks and opened it wide for everyone for a limited time!
Tumblecaps - IS FREE!*
And, here's the best part - if you purchase Tumblecaps now at the price of free, you will get the 2.0 update and all future updates also for free. I know, it's a bit of a mind-numbing deal, but with proper counseling, everyone can handle it.
So you may be saying, "Dave, this is incredible - how could I be one of the many happy owners of Tumblecaps?"
You answer lies beyond this link: itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=320467482&mt=8
Now go! Go, be fruitful, and enjoy soda cap goodness in a game that the iPhone Roundup Podcast has said "Could be one of the next top games in the app store!".
*Free, as in - you pay nothing, you get something. Sweet deal, eh? But only until the 2.0 update is released in September!

Fun game, though in sore need of a score board....A leader board would be cool too.

Also, to everyone getting it, lemme know what you think would make it better, or what it could do without. I'm putting a good bit of work into making the 2.0 a much more polished version, and I've got a pretty good list of what the game needs, but I'd still like to hear more. Hey, at the worst, everyone will post a list of what I already have, and I'll know I'm on the right track! :)

Just tried it out. Totally awesome!
I expected it to be like other iPhone games, where you play it a few times and put it down, but I ended up glued to my iTouch. I just couldn't quit. Though it would be better as mentioned above, if there were a score/leader board.
Very addictive, very intense. Love it. 9/10

- I'm totally concentrating on the caps and have no clue how far my timer is. Often I'm surprise when I run out of time. Sound queue or some other visual indicator in the actual play area would be useful.
- Some feedback that I'm doing well, I feel good that I got 5-6 caps out, but I need some fanfare.. I need the game to pat me on my head and tell me what a good little player I am.
Thanks for making it available for free!

Just gave it a try. Pretty damn fun...- I'm totally concentrating on the caps and have no clue how far my timer is. Often I'm surprise when I run out of time. Sound queue or some other visual indicator in the actual play area would be useful.

What I want: power ups, for example when collecting a certain number of caps in a row. Level ups.
Warning flash when there is 2 or 3 seconds left (I always get shocked by the game over since it's hard to focus on the timer).
I am not crazy about the music. A matter of taste I guess.
Great work!
