Great, I love the pixel art, graphics are very polished. And I love the similarities to Super Hexagon. I think the dog is moving a bit too fast, though - for most people, that is. I think it would be better for the dog to move left/right a bit slower, giving you a better feeling that you are in...

This may sound weird, but I don't care about the new features - I would just love for the new API to be more like a stable version 2 of the WinRT, in the sense that bugs were fixed and the API would be more stable and mature. Sure, new features would be nice, but please just let us have the old...

You can hide the soft navigation bar programmatically, like this: Windows.UI.ViewManagement.ApplicationView.GetForCurrentView().SuppressSystemOverlays = true; Note that this works when "Navigation Bar" is set to Auto in Phone Settings, which is the default.

I can easily recommend gengo.com - it's not free, but it's only $0.05 per word, which is very cheap, even compared to Google and Bing - you should not underestimate the time waste of dealing with errors in automated translators.

I would very much recommend gengo.com - it's not free, but it's only $0.05 per word and you get a quality translation done by a human! ​Mind you, I am not affiliated with them in any way, but have used them once and very satisfied, even with support for a couple of very very specific additional...
