Thanks for the praise!
It’s good to know that there are extensive settings available, including an option to give yourself 90 lives, that will surely be enough 😉. When you see the game over screen three times in a row, an option to skip the level is offered. But that’ll surely be below your achievement-collecting standards, I think.
I also recommend trying crank, buttons and tilt controls for 20 minutes each.
For those who wander: press the menu button to bring up the map and find unexplored areas.
