Fireball926 Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2010 2,543 0 36 none Somewhere #12 Fireball926, Mar 30, 2012 Great game could never get to into it though because it bothered me how much space it took up. Also anyone who needs tips on freeing space here: 1. go to the settings app and click usage. Scroll through and see which apps are taking up the most space and try to delete a few. 2. now compile a list of "games I'll be getting back to someday" 3. rename the list you made "delete these games I don't need them" Easy enough right? Tango Well-Known Member Sep 11, 2010 455 0 16 #13 Tango, Mar 30, 2012 Been on my wish list for a while as well. Think I will pick it up, but curious how the IAP is?

Sri Ram Well-Known Member Mar 6, 2012 433 0 0 #19 Sri Ram, Mar 30, 2012 The game apparently gets "difficult" and the IAPs help make it easy. But the game can be finished/all items unlocked without the need for IAPs, probably takes an extra bit of grinding. It's still a steal guys, all you need is the free space.
