Who's #1 on the mobile high score board? You guessed it. Me.
Probably only last for 5 minutes but I feel like I have accomplished something with my day now. Also the UDU success today didnt hurt either.

Hmm, the iPhone app creator is "Matmi", their only other app in the app store is called "Ho Ho Yellow Snow":
I'll leave others to speculate as to why United picked them to create the app
I must say though, it does look like Santa has quite a hook

I see some other games by Matmi:
Monster Pinball
Ice Road Pinball
Multiball Pinball
Elf
Ho Ho Yellow Snow is a game worth buying

Strategy
On the line jump game, is there a particular altitude where you are more likely to pick up "jets"?
On launch, anyone have a recommended strategy for launch angle?

The first 2 days I played it (a couple of times), I was getting REALLY high scores (for a while I was 4th overall, then 9th, and since have slipped to only the top 20). I think either they'd changed the gravity in the game like someone mentioned here, but started getting longer jumps again when I just kept going higher and higher and didn't worry about the distance so much.

I got one 10% cert the very first time I played, and nothing since then no matter what email address I use and no matter what device I use (laptop/iPhone/iPad). I have a feeling that they reduced the chances of winning quite a bit.

I've got uhh seven since but it's getting boring and I figure I already got what I wanted in the end.

Ive got two 10 percent coupons. One yesterday one today. Is it really only one try per day? And I have a zillion email addresses. I suppose that helps!

If I can get a couple more 10% certs, I'll be done for the rest of the year; most of my travel is either already booked or international.

So is there a way to check your position on the board without having to resubmit at the end of a game? I'd like to see if I'm still #1 on Linejump Hero, but I don't want to submit a lower score and lose my position...
