    Only compatible with 4.3. That might be part of your problem. Why don't you at least drop the ios requirement to 4.2.

    Or even 4.1 in my case? Looks like something I'd like to try.

    Thanks for making this free. I was one of the buyers as the game was released.
    There's already a thread about the game and I reviewed the game.
    It has a lot potential and could be a great game, if there were no game breaking flaws.
    On my 3GS, it crashed quite a lot at the first screen in game.
    Also in the alchemy shop, there are some graphical glitches and errors. Compared items jump over the screen, get stuck and are not movable anymore and such things which seriously spoil the fun to play. A game in this state doesn't sell, it's that simple. Also, lower the iOS requirements to 3.x or at least 4.1. Many people can't use it otherwise and won't buy it.

    Let me give you a few advices:

    first of all, let the game stay free for another 2-3 days, then pull it from the AppStore.
    Get rid of all these nasty bugs. Try to get help testing from the people here who downloaded the game for free. We have a lot helpful people here. Include me for help, I can make a list of the bugs I found. Fix everything as good as possible.

    After that, re-submit your app.Then do some promotion, like contests, spread the word about your game over Twitter and Facebook. Make it as visible as possible. Every day, hundreds of apps are released in the store. You game just got drowned under all these apps. Make an introductory sale for 0.99$ for two/three days and announce this in the apps description. Make 1-2 gameplay videos, that's important! Give it also a more appealing and unique name, the game deserves it!

    This might help to give you more success.



    @ mods: can you please merge the threads?

    Also.

    Maybe write a description that is readable for english Users. It really looks like "chinglish" if I may say so.

    i bought this a day before it went free! I am ok with doing so but i wanna understand how to play this game more....i know you excavate elements and craft ....but im unsure exactly how to craft....it seems buggy when i do combine and craft...also i feel it should explain how to battle easier.....

    I played it for a bit now. I really like it!

    But I guess there should be a better tutorial for it. I still dont know how to battle monsters. But the music is great and the artstyle too. I can see much effort were put in that.

    So its a shame that not much people bought it. Really seems like a fun game from what I played.

    But I guess Vovins Advice is a good one. It crashed for me too, whenever I try to exit the cave. And like I said, there should be a better tutorial in it to explain everything.
    Dont let the effort go to waste, since the Game really has much potential in my opinion!!!

    PLEASE make it available for 4.1 and above...

    I refuse to update from 4.2 to 4.3, because if I do... more than half the games on my iPod won't work because of lazy devs who haven't updated and haven't shown that they intend to update for iOS 4.3...

    Is there any specific reason you need 4.3 to run your game, or would it run fine on 4.1?

    Downloaded it... won't rate, because my review will be this babble... but I hope that you make it available for 4.1 or even just 4.2... if not... I guess I'll just have to wait another 6 months til all of the games I have on my iPod are updated for iOS 4.3... =o/

    I'm downloading for the artwork alone because it's a gorgeous looking game. Hopefully the gameplay equals the quality of the graphics. Nicely done.

    whatever happened to this game? I just updated to 4.3 and was going to install it, having problems with syncing my ipod, so I can only get games through the appstore... but BLAH it's not there anymore... =o(

    I had/have the same problem since the update! I try and sync with itunes but all my apps are grayed out! I tried every tip and trick on the web and still nothing!

    Every weekend I come close to just starting over and losing all my data, but I just can't bring myself to do it!

    mine is alright until I check the 'sync apps' box, then all my apps just disappear, and there's like 20 apps spread out over 5 pages... NO WAY am I going to loose all my data... I've got WAY too many games =oP

    Oh well... hope this one comes back... =oP
