This will be the first IAP purchase I will be making. Honestly, why can't the devs just make a lite and a paid version it has me a little shaken up. also to point out, why can't the characters in this game just wear NORMAL clothes. Honestly, they're all at least half naked. Ghouls'R'us Well-Known Member Jun 9, 2011 555 0 16 #7 Ghouls'R'us, Nov 23, 2011 That was quick. Been holding out from the IAP purchase, but this sale makes it cheap enough to go ahead without much regret. I really dislike the way they make you go through their servers for the transaction though. I understand they want to make the game appealing enough to simply download and try out, instead of relegating the process to a separate "lite" app, but consumers don't gain anything from this, plus we risk losing our purchase if the company closes its doors. Bleh. I also wish they'd implement an HQ filter to compensate for the assets' low graphical resolution. It's painful to watch especially on an iPad.

It's never happened before for a game that requires an iAP to unlock content to the game. Let's not get scared about things that haven't happened once in the three and a half years the AppStore has been around. In any case, I'm sure you'll enjoy the game either way. Definitely a great buy.

I'd rather just pay for the app and be donee with it. So I'll pass untill a full version comes along. Appletini Well-Known Member Jan 8, 2011 2,564 0 0 Ankh-Morpork #12 Appletini, Nov 23, 2011 I think if you take a step back you'll appreciate the wisdom in picking up a great game for $1 right now, rather than expecting a different version that isn't planned and will be back at $5 if it ever does arrive. AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #13 AnarKitty, Nov 23, 2011 I'm not a big fan of IAP either, but I'd definitely urge you to bite in this case - it's a great game, absolutely worth getting no matter how, and at this price it's almost silly not to. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,064 1,340 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #14 metalcasket, Nov 23, 2011 Yeah, oooooomonkey...listen to the last couple of guys. You'll really regret not getting this. I've been burned by a ****load of sales ever since I've had an iOS device, but this is literally the one game I didn't mind paying $2.99 for even if it is on sale now. Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #15 Habakuk, Nov 23, 2011 I can confirm that. Don't try the lite because it makes your mouth watering Vovin ð® Spam Police ð Nov 28, 2009 6,514 3 38 Germany #16 Vovin, Nov 23, 2011 Apple? Closing its doors? When? When hell has frozen over a dozen times? Be ensured: it has never happened to me - nor anyone I know - that you'll lose an IAP. Graphics are because it's a DS port. The game's quality is outstanding.

If you try the game, then you just cannot resist the temptation to unlock it. Well, so far I have no problem with IAP level for Tilt to Live, Catan, and Sentinel 3, so hopefully this one will be okay. At others who hesitates, think again!!! (I do wish there's a full version, but then if it will be, then.... dilemma!!! I think I'll buy it again when the full goes on sale.) caanerud Well-Known Member Mar 28, 2011 998 0 0 #20 caanerud, Nov 23, 2011 Seriously people, IAP to unlock the full game? Is this worth whining about? Getting a $12 game for $1 should make everyone overjoyed. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)

Guys...according to the app description: "...Shantae will be on sale Black Friday (Nov 25) - Cyber Momday (Nov 28) for only $.99!
As always, I have to pass over this sale cause you have to unlock the game through iAP purchase...devs, please make a lite version and a full version like the majority of iOS games
