This was mentioned in the iOS gaming thread I think, but deserves a bit more publicity.

It's a game of 1000 levels, a new level released every day, with leaderboards and coins to collect. It's basically a cut down version of Trials HD on the 360 and is hugely addictive.

Sure, at first I thought the controls were a woolly mess, but time has shown that to not be the case, and there is finesse there. It's purposely difficult to control it seems, which adds to the challenge.
Each level takes about 20 seconds. Getting the bronze time is extremely easy, getting the silver time takes a few goes, getting the gold time ranges from moderately difficult to bastard hard. Just like Trials HD in fact...

The best thing? It has a custom leaderboard. Just type in UGVM in the settings and you can compare your times to a fair few of us on a daily basis.
The worst thing? Your leaderboard times only count on the day that the challenge is open. You can go back and do previous levels, but the times you get won't count to your standing...

Go and download it and join in, it's only 59p, for a thousand days of healthy gaming competition...

Seems a bit harsh if you're late to the party so to speak.

If there were an all time leaderboard and daily challenge leaderboard I'd be a bit more interested I think

I agree, hence why you need to get in now ;)

I would be surprised if the leaderboards didn't get an overhaul at some point, as it seems a crazy design choice and they managed to do leaderboards perfectly fine on Trials HD.

I confirm this is excellent.

Harsh? It's 59p. Buy it on day 941 and it's still only a penny a level (with full access to the previous levels if not the high score table).

This is a great idea. I'm in (and using the UGVM scoreboard).

They need to fix the leaderboards so you can score from older days
