FAQs about Touch Grind
Q: Does Touchgrind work for first and second gen iPod Touch?
A: Yes, Touchgrind works just as well on the iPod Touch. On the second gen iPod Touch the game will run Preview this Post a bit fast, we are working on this.
Q: How do I do an impossible?
A: You do it almost the same way you do a flip, but instead of sliding your finger off the board you slide your front finger towards your back finger and release. It’s very hard, but not impossible (even though it is called an impossible)!
Q: I constantly bump into obstacles. Any tips or suggestions?
A: When you are approaching an obstacle, the obstacle icons on the screen will pulsate when it’s time to pop and do your trick.
Q: How is the score calculated? What should I do to get a good score?
A: To get higher scores you should vary your tricks a lot. If you, for instance, just do kickflips, you will soon realize that you don’t get any high scores. Try to as many different tricks you can — use rails, ramps, and boxes, and do flips and shuvits in various combinations to maximize your score. Air time and height also affects your score, so try to get up on those high boxes to maximize your air time!
Q: Will there be an online park editor?
A: We are working on this and when it meets our quality standards we will release it.
Q: I suggested a feature X a while back ago. When will it be implemented?
A: We add feature requests to our list. We then select the most requested features and do our best to implement them.
