@Shreyas14 Thanks for getting in touch. The pricing model is paid. It will be tier 1, so $0.99 and equivalent. The full app and all gameplay etc. will be available for this upfront cost. We do have in-app purchases, but these amounts to the purchase of power ups which can be used in levels if you get stumped and is in no way a requirement to complete the game - completely at the user discretion. Powerups can also be earned in game via general grind and also the discovery of secrets.
Looks like a lot of fun! Haven't heard of the first Save The Pencil, but I'm buying this one later this week when it comes out.
I too have been lucky enough to BETA test the game and I have to say its fantastic! It you likes the first Save The Pencil then you are guaranteed to love STP2 (and if you never played the first then why!?). You can tell how much time and effort has gone into the release. This isn't just a rerelease of the first game with new levels, don't worry about that. Although the game looks similar in style the game play is quite drastically different (such as the ability to tap on enemies to cause them to behave in different ways.) It's my favourite game of 2013 so far and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves as everyone needs to play it
