Haven't gotten to the end of the free levels but hitting the button showed the paywall get unlocked.. The "buy full game" button still shows a 2.99 price however.. Try it out, maybe it's a bug or maybe they intentionally made it a free restore for now.. aaroneas Member Nov 7, 2010 22 0 1 #4 aaroneas, Aug 28, 2014 Same experience here, thanks for the tip. It looks like just hitting restore purchases successfully unlocked it. (though i'm stuck on 10th puzzle, don't have time to take it past the unlocked paywall now). Seems like a decent puzzler. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #5 mrbiggles, Aug 29, 2014 yes it seemed to unlock all the levels "$" exploded and all levels showed. though you can't jump to any puzzle/level. good catch takemuraori Well-Known Member Nov 5, 2013 105 0 0 Singapore http://www.qixen-p.com #6 takemuraori, Aug 29, 2014 To make things clear: It is not a "catch" is it an exploitation of a bug. - If you want full game and haven't bought it before please do use buy full game button - we will send you our love!

If I like something and it is not free I buy it I don't think i cant resist buying a game if I like mechanics and design, never thought of things like developers later changing the name mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #9 mrbiggles, Aug 29, 2014 no in basic... i want the full standalone game, vs iap full game. so if it gets pulled I got my backup and own the game i paid for, can still restore it on my device years later cloudpuff Well-Known Member Sep 12, 2013 3,600 0 36 lazy layabout uk #10 cloudpuff, Aug 29, 2014 Last edited: Aug 29, 2014 I like to have a full copy of the app, the problem with this type where you unlock via Iap is that should the game get removed from the App Store or whatever, and you've deleted the game to make space, you then can't get the full game back. Whereas if you sync with you of a full copy of the game is stored there and then you put it back on years and years later if you wish, but if it's unlock able via Iap then you may not be able tornestore the game. It doesn't stop me from unlocking games this way but I personally much prefer paying one full price but understand why it's not always possible. If I enjoy this I'll be buying the full version rather than exploiting the bug. takemuraori Well-Known Member Nov 5, 2013 105 0 0 Singapore http://www.qixen-p.com #11 takemuraori, Aug 30, 2014 2 cloudpuff: apple's current Non Consumable in App Purchases work in a way that purchase would be assigned to your Login, even if you delete the game you will be able to restore it to full after if you use same Apple ID, thank you!

Capricornman Well-Known Member Dec 8, 2011 2,993 0 0 #15 Capricornman, Aug 31, 2014 I bought this when it came out. Then the other day I noticed an update. I was a little hesitant but I went ahead. As far as I can see I don't see a paywall but I'm not good enough at this game to get to level 17! We shall see (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

Would rather have a full unlock standalone game vs iap full game. personally i skip any iap full lock games, due to can't backup full game if dev pulls it or make major change reissue and new game name.

no in basic... i want the full standalone game, vs iap full game. so if it gets pulled I got my backup and own the game i paid for, can still restore it on my device years later
