This was one I had in my watch list. I'll have to free up some space to lock the license in before I get home... but... this is awesome news. My want list since Thanksgiving till now has shrunk by about 2/3's. Anyone know the install size? I guess I'll find out soon enough but I've already freed 2.4GB and it's not enough. Looks like this is like a lot of Gameloft games where you need the install + download size in free space to get the download going. iPadisGreat Well-Known Member Dec 10, 2012 2,391 0 0 #3 iPadisGreat, Jan 4, 2013 Downloading...

I have about 1700 apps now (maybe more)... so it's not like I'm ever out of games to play. This one I wasn't expecting it to be on sale, but I knew eventually have a hankering for more point&click adventure games and once I burned through my library of them on iOS this was the main one I wanted. Now I can have it there in the backlog as well (though since I deleted Yesterday as part of the mass of things I had to delete to get the download started, I may let it finish and then play this some this weekend). backslashio Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2010 158 0 0 Perth, WA #7 backslashio, Jan 4, 2013 Someone needs to tell the DotEmu guys that the 5/5 review mentioned in the iTunes description was made by Appspy, not Slidetoplay Think I'll buy this, was hoping for $1.99 but only because I've never played it & I fear that its realtime gameplay will irk me Outrager Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2012 130 0 0 #8 Outrager, Jan 4, 2013 A lot of the reviews on iTunes say it has no audio on their iPad. Anyone getting this problem too? nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #9 nightc1, Jan 4, 2013 I'm on an iPhone4S/16gb with iOS 6.0.1 installed and there's sound. I don't have an iPad to test it on but it works perfectly in my setup. Dave in the basement Well-Known Member Jul 29, 2011 197 0 0 Indiana #10 Dave in the basement, Jan 4, 2013 I'd be all over this if the file size wasn't so flippin' huge. Thanks for sharing this, though, as I may try to do some more deleting and stuff. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #11 nightc1, Jan 4, 2013 For some reason it needed over 3gb free... I had 3.4 gb free... but the install size is 1.3GB... download size is 1.28GB... so it's weird I needed so much before it would install but maybe I needed to force close the appstore between checking if I had enough space. Either way, I have 2.1GB free now... though I'm about to re-download a few games I haven't played but had sitting there waiting. Thankfully I'm on a blazing fast connection right now. mjb Member Aug 6, 2011 13 0 0 #12 mjb, Jan 4, 2013 I own an Ipad 2 and have been playing this game.... There is no problem with the audio.

Is that possible or does Apple force developers to compress their downloads? Outrager Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2012 130 0 0 #15 Outrager, Jan 5, 2013 Most likely Apple requiring them to compress the files so they can save some money on bandwidth costs.

I have encountered zero sound or any other issues. If anyone was still worried about that, you can now go ahead and purchase this before the price goes back up.

Traffic on their severs is serious money. That's why Apple will soon force the developers to use the delta update system.
