Hello devs and fellow redditors! Over my years of playing this game on the iPhone, I've come up with a list of changes I'd like to see. I'd be interested in hearing your feedback on them.

Disclaimer: These are my ideas and opinions. I'm not saying they're perfect; I'm not saying that I know better than the devs. I am merely sharing my thoughts.

New Missions:

-Harm scientists with jetpack. Laser, Machine Gun, Traditional. These jetpacks have the ability to harm scientists.

-Break lights on floor with jetpack. The colored lights are susceptible to the Profit Bird, Lil Stomper, and the MGJP.

-Break glass on floor with jetpack. Certain areas have a glass floor which can be cracked.

-Remove nerd repellent gadget challenge. The challenge which requires you to use this gadget is more a nuisance than an actual challenge. The gadget is already useful for missions requiring Barry to not harm any scientists. Having a mission where you use the gadget just for the sake of using the gadget is just an inconvenience and not entertaining.

Gadget Specific Missions:

-Always active.

-Reset when every gadget has its challenge completed.

-Small rewards, e.g., 100 coins.

-Would encourage players to use all gadgets, not just a favorite combo. The small reward pool means those who don't participate are not missing out on much.

Examples:

-Collect 30 gems in a single run.

-Bypass 100 EZY-Dodge Missiles.

-Take your free ride to 500 meters.

-Nothing RNG based, e.g., freeze 4 scientists. This would also probably rule out the missile jammer and dezapinator.

Vehicle Specific Missions:

-Always active.

-Reset when every vehicle has its challenge completed.

-Small rewards, e.g., 100 coins.

Examples:

-Shoot 15 scientists in a single run with the Hog.

-Teleport away from 40 locked-on missiles.

-Remain airborne for 30 seconds without touching floor or ceiling using Gravity Suit.

-Stomp on 20 scientists in a single run.

-Burn 20 scientists with Mr. Cuddles in a single run.

-Other missions for Wave Rider and Sleigh of Awesome if purchased by player.

New Power-Up Ideas:

-Gadgeteer: Barry acquires every gadget for a short duration. Level 1: 10 seconds. 5 seconds every level, capping out at 30 seconds at level 5.

-Gadgeteer version 2.0: Barry acquires a single gadget (pre-selected in the shop screen) for a lengthy amount of time; maybe 45 seconds at level 1. At level 5, the gadget is permanent for that game. Excluded from selection: Token Gift, Nerd Repellent, and Free Ride.

-Vehicle Shield: Only spawns when Barry is in a vehicle. Functions identically to the regular shield power-up.

-Flares: Only spawns when Barry is in a vehicle. Destroys 1 incoming missile, up to 5 missiles at level 5. Cheaper than the vehicle shield.

New Gadget Idea:

-Portable Mirror

--Description: Deflect and protect! Stops lasers from the front and back. Hair and foot protection not included.

---Effect: The portable mirror is a proposed gadget whose function would be to prevent Barry from being burned by a laser, but only fron the front and back. Touching a laser with his foot or head would still cause Barry to be burned. Using the highly technical diagrams below, I illustrate what the possible use of this gadget might be.

Example 1:

(----------------------------------------------------------)

(----BARRY IS TRAPPED BETWEEN TWO LASERS-----)

(----------------------------------------------------------)

but if he can maintain altitude, he can get out unscathed.

Example 2:

(-------------------------------------------------------)

(-------------------------------------------------------)

(-------------------------------------------------------)

(----BARRY IS HIT WITH A LASER AND FALLS------)

safely to the floor, which is absent of lasers.

Example 3:

(Barry------------------------------------------)

(----is------------------------------------------)

(------falling-----------------------------------)

(---------------and is trapped on the floor.---)

I should clarify that, in this diagram, the laser does not activate until Barry's feet touch the floor.

Luckily, the portable mirror saves his life. Maybe he gets a spin token in there.

Potential uses of the Portable Mirror include acquiring RNG tokens and powerups that are impossible to acquire due to bad luck and bad timing with laser spawning, new missions such as spending a certain number of seconds deflecting lasers, an acheivement for spending a certain number of seconds in a laser, and players being able to challenge themselves by deliberately trapping themselves between laser beams.

Miscellaneous:

-Make Flash a permanent companion for cosmetic purposes. He loses all utility, but that utility can be regained by selecting him as a gadget.

-Can we get the 'Bad As Hog' renamed to the 'Bad Ass Hog'? Or at least a setting in the menu? I mean, really, what's up with that?

-For those of us that missed it, bring back the DeLorean and Hoverboard!
