    EA was one of the few studios left that didn't do the free price thing.
    This is probably going to screw the ecosystem even more.

    Are you saying this because Firemint was bought out by EA? EA has already done a few freebies this past week (NFS Shift 2, Mirror's Edge).

    Anyway, as a staple on the App Store, surprisingly I never had gotten this. I had Harbor Master which is more-or-less the same type of game, but I'll grab this while it's free.

    Thanks OP!

    I used to love this game when it first came out but considering how far the app store has come I can't get into it anymore. However, I can't deny the effects it's had on games since. If anything, I view this game as nothing more than a collectors item.

    I'm pretty sure that they've already pissed off quite a lot of people from their countless 99 cent price drops.

    How the hell did rewinds ruin the game?

    It is OPTIONAL. They added it but you don't have to use it; it's still the same game as before. If you're worried about people using it to get better scores on the leaderboards, well, plenty of people hack their scores anyway so that's not really an issue.
