Get it free before they launch the complete overhaul update.

This is a sham... do not download this free. If you download this now it will create a virus that will shun profits this developer might otherwise get creating bitterness about App market and we will lost possible future quality games. The guy has probably sunk all his revenue into the massive overhaul. Avoid this freebie at all costs.

The video on the website is excellent, and worth a look. :)

Not available in the uk? I had to get it from the US store.

Yeah, it wasn't on the Lebanese store either. When I tried searching for it in the U.S. store (before clicking the link here), it wasn't found either initially. There's something in the game's thread about it being pulled until v2.0 hits, but I'm not sure what happened today. Also, no idea if v2.0 will be an update to this version or a completely new app. Either way, yeah...I do have it now, but I would have preferred to have it tied to my Lebanese account. :( If the new version is for sale in the Lebanese store when it comes out, I'll definitely buy it.

THIS!

Don't download, just wait and buy this really good game after the update for just a buck - and support the dev who put tons of live in this game and update.
Or is this dedication by the dev not even worth a buck to you folks?


edit: just checked, game isn't available on the AppStore anymore.
Means maybe that the new version will show up any time.

Hurray to profit for the developer and cheers to players waiting for the update! \(^_^)/

Last I heard -- think on the developer's fundrasing page for the project -- it didn't sound like it would be ready until sometime this summer. When it does, it definately looks like a must buy.

I was actually surprised to see this thread this morning. Thought the original app had been pulled a long, long time ago.

How is this a sham?

He was being sarcastic ;) I guess the game is too good to be free. I didn't get to download it though, unavailable. But looking forward to it

[trueblue]

Although I agree that game developers should be supported any way possible to encourage them to improve and make great games but there is no shame downloading their games/apps for free when it’s available for that purpose, some people like me wouldn’t even know about this great game if it wasn’t made free today and find out how good of a game it is; on top of that it helps the game gain popularity as well.

[GeekyDad]

Will get for the lolis lulz. :cool:

[jeffyg3]

Damn, I got the virus by downloading this app for free

[LawLessLove]

Will get for the lolis lulz. :cool:

We are serious when we say this is one of the best games on the app store. There are no "lulz" about it.

[CygnetSeven]

I thought the game was fine as it was, nothing like it on the iOS. But the stills I've seen from the update coming are nothing but jaw dropping. I can't wait.

[0-FeliX-0]

So this was pulled? I'd like to buy it, after hearing what all you guys have said...

[Kontrabida]

Hi guys,

Leo, the developer, here.

Wow, I just found out about this thread. Sorry if I'm late to the party.

Oh man, I screwed up. I'm such a dolt. I actually made this free - literally for just a few hours- because I wanted a couple of our new team members to be able to play the old game. I didn't want to bother preparing special over the air game builds for them so I opted for the easy way. :eek:

I didn't realize it would cause such a big mess! I didn't even know people would notice it. I completely forgot all about the automated trackers out there. Big, big, big, big fail on my part. I'm sorry for my shortsightedness.

If you were able to grab it free, congratulations. Surprisingly, quite a LOT of you were able to. :eek: No hard feelings or resentment on my part and I'm glad some of you got to play, and hopefully enjoyed 1.0 before it's completely phased out.

That being said, I'm not planning on putting it back in the store again. As I've stated before, I'm totally unhappy on the quality level for 1.0 as it was a solo project two years ago.

For those unfamiliar with the game, the history and the drama involved: LCH 1.0 was released at the start of 2011 and was a semi hit. For very personal, none business related reasons, it did not last more than four days in the store. Since then, I've been on and off the project because of other professional obligations.

We have a massive toucharcade thread on it here: http://toucharcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=81347

I've been getting reports from all over that it crashes on iOS 5. I haven't updated this in almost a year and a half so I apologize if it does. That game version is so old that the iPhone 4 just came out and we we're still gossiping about a possible "iSlate" at that time. Haha.

I also mentioned working on a v1.5 in the original LCH thread. Unfortunately, although I got as far as 60%-70% from being done, I've scrapped that version entirely. I think it's more wise to focus on the 2.0 update rather than giving you guys another mediocre game/update. I apologize for all the excitement or anticipation and disappointment that might have caused some of you.

If you guys want to see how 2.0 looks, here's a shot from one of the latest betas:

Wow the new screen shot looks fantastic. Can't wait for this to be finished.

[metalcasket]

Leo, just a tiny query...

I was one of the people who managed to snag 1.0 when it went few for a few hours. The thing is, it wasn't on the Lebanese store, but just on the U.S. one. Unfortunately, I wasn't following LCH during it's early days, so I'm not entirely sure it was ever on the Lebanese store.

That brings me to ask: When 2.0 is released, will it be in all international App Stores? If so, I would be more than glad to buy a brand spankin' new copy with my regular account. :)

Also, forgive me for this.... any estimation on when 2.0 could come out?

It'll be available everywhere. :)

We're working really hard on it, but we can only do so much since pretty much everyone on the team has a different day job. Hahaha... but we're hoping for a summer release! :)

[kzwen]

I can't wait for 2.0! Although, I am wondering why did you not just give out promo codes to the new team mates? Unless of course you are out...

[Kontrabida]

Haha, yes I was out unfortunately.

I would normally use testflightapp.com but it's always a chore getting things on there so laziness got the best of me.

Won't happen again! :D

Nah. Let's just say you were confused that your cat accidentally stepped onto the "free" button while you were just logged into the Appstore's developer section. That sounds much nicer.

Say, will this update be free for the customers of v1.0?
If so, please add a little "donate-a-buck"-button somewhere in the app. I appreciate your love and devotion to this game and it looks fantastic... so I would be happy to press that button right after the update was released.

P.S.: The upcoming fanservice is nice, too...
I wish that every game has 95% boobed girls with stockings and uniforms. :D

[gunxsword]

Unrelated presumption: this game's combat system will blow Battleloot Adventure's one out of the water.

Kickstarter comment: soundtrack... soundtrack...sound...track...
No credit card. DAMMIT! Can you add a link in the game to purchase the soundtrack separately?

[thezman]

I can find the game in the US app store.did it get taken down

[Joshnsuch]

It's been down for a while. Just read this thread..

[foxmulderino]

not even worth now that it is free

[Vovin]

You also haven't read one single wird in this thread; otherwise, you wouldn't leave such a stupid comment. You seem to have no clue about the highly polished v2.0. Leo is a really nice and devoted dev and I am glad he's around. This game is neither free nor available at the moment.
Why don't you go and troll someone else?

[Midnight]

I hope you're joking.

Agreed. I would really like to see some kind of donate option. I managed to get this game for free so I would like to donate a couple of bucks. Keep up the good work!

[REkzkaRZ]

Leo,

Question --> if the game you made with money from Kickstarter is now off the AppStore, how is it fair to the folks that paid either for the $1 game &/or for Kickstart of the game?

I guess my point is --> if Kickstarters back the game, why not just leave it up for free & let them play it? They paid for it, no?

This game points out one aspect of Kickstarter (& crowdfunding) that disturbs me -- backers put up their funds, but may not get what they think they're paying for (or even anything at all). In the case of this game, despite the fact you're making a 2.0 version, it seems the original backers (who put up $5k+) might be disturbed that the game they were into got pulled...?

Then again, I haven't read the backer threads so I could be wrong on that guess...?

Hi, Some interesting thoughts here but I think you have it mixed up.

Kickstarter did not fund the first game. The 5k raised from the first kickstarter is also funding the new game. The first game came out January 2011 and the first kickstarter campaign was on November 2011.

Thanks,

Leo

[TicTac]

When will this game be available?

[awp69]

Hate when this or the main thread is bumped. Always gets my hopes up that the re-release is up!

Still looking forward to it....

[strivemind]

It probably won't be for a while yet. Their Kickstarter ends today, and has made about 5X their goal, which results in 3 extra playable characters on top of their previous requests for Unity Pro licenses.

The listed estimated delivery time is October.
