"It’s the only iPad game to ever make me consider my relationship with humanity." — wired.com "Coolest puzzle game ever!" — PewDiePie Dreii is a puzzling game about skill, logic and friendship. It subtly connects players in real-time across the world, to help one another in a battle against gravity. The mission is simple. But once again, things get in the way... Explosives, thunderstorms, completely incompetent colleagues. Oh, and did we mention gravity? • Play with people across the world • Master 48 fantastic levels • Speak in 19 different languages • Beautifully animated characters • Real-time physics and 3D rendering • Beautiful sound design Awards ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • European Design Award • IGF Excellence in Visual Art Nominee • IndieCade Finalist • Swiss Game Selection • FWA Mobile Award • Swiss Game Award • FWA Site of the Day • SXSW Gaming Award Selection • Sónar Festival Selection • Cinekid Runner-Up • Featured by Apple as "Best New Game" Features ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Languages: Drei features an universal communication tool which allows to speak to other players, from wherever they are. Drei supports 19 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Rhaeto-Romanic, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss-German and Turkish. Optimized: Dreii plays beautifully on the iPad and iPhone. From the beginning it was engineered and optimized for Apple's tablet, taking advantage of the intuitive touch controls, the pretty display, and the possibility to use the screen in landscape and portrait mode. Sound: One of the best thing about Drei is how it sounds. Each character has its very own instrument. And as the characters work together they form Drei's unique universal orchestra, creating their very own musical landscape, inspired by archaic instruments and ancient melodies. All instruments were performed and recorded live with some of Switzerland's finest musicians. Uber Swiss Design: Drei is designed to be as universal as possible. However, in a strange way it's also very Swiss, where it was made. Clean typography, minimalism with attention to detail. It's Swiss Design heritage, we can't deny it. Technical Excellence: Even though it's not visible, it's the technical stuff too that makes this game special. Drei is the first real-time multiplayer iPad game with advanced physics and 3D rendering, as far as we know, taking mobile gaming to the next level. Notice ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Dreii connects to the internet, if available. Charges may apply if this happens over your mobile network connection.

Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #8 Drummerboycroy, Jan 4, 2014 So it's not a price drop, it's a price increase?

I'll not bother updating if this is the case. Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #11 Habakuk, Jan 4, 2014 Thanks for the info. I got it for free earlier and played (after the update) level 29 (great collaboration multiplayer level btw) and unlocked 30 (starting with gravity upside-down) right now. So it seems that this change doesn't affect "early adopters". The regular price of the full version (45 levels) was always $2.99. Seems the dev Etter from Switzerland made this right. The only thing is that the highly interesting levels with collaboration multiplayer (a completely new thing believe me) start with level 20. There are nine levels which can only be solved by collaboration multiplayer. They should make at least ONE of those levels free as well. Other than that: Try it definitely! Something completely different. A hidden gem. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #12 mrbiggles, Jan 4, 2014 junk iap stinks, would rather buy a standalone model vs a lite version with IAP for full. Filing Cabinet Well-Known Member Aug 20, 2011 997 0 16 #13 Filing Cabinet, Jan 4, 2014 yes but still better a lite version with full unlock for IAP then a permanent freemium game with ads/timers/BS. mrbiggles Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2012 3,691 0 0 Like retired USA #14 mrbiggles, Jan 4, 2014 Last edited: Jan 4, 2014 first levels free - full game iap $3 yep no one likes the freems with ads or coinage etc, love the standalone full paid models...still dont dig the lite + iap to full. glad to have the older version backed up, = never update FayMay Member Nov 14, 2013 9 0 0 #15 FayMay, Jan 4, 2014 Everybody should update. If you have bought Drei before everything will be available, you don't need to pay anything. And, if you don't update you miss out big time. There are new levels and much more other players on the new version. It's a great game, don't miss out by not updating. dclose Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 1,866 0 0 #16 dclose, Jan 4, 2014 This is completely not true if you've removed it from your device. Once you put it back on your device, you'll be forced to pay to unlock the levels, whether you previously purchased the game or not. Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #17 Drummerboycroy, Jan 4, 2014 Or do what I do these days. Delete and forget game, remember developer (add to ever-growing Excel list), and live simpler. DBC AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #18 AnarKitty, Jan 4, 2014 So, we know for sure that updating will mean having to play the new, limited version if we've taken it off our devices by now, as I have? Great. I really wish devs would bother to make sure previous customers aren't penalized this way. FayMay Member Nov 14, 2013 9 0 0 #19 FayMay, Jan 5, 2014 Well, unfortunately that's true. If you delete the app or reset your iPad then there is no way for the app to remember if you have purchased it before. But I don't think that's the developer's fault, Apple doesn't provide an API to check for purchase history. jonPow New Member Nov 13, 2013 2 0 0 #20 jonPow, Jan 5, 2014 You're right. I found this on the official website (http://etter.co/drei): "I did buy Drei before and after the update it asks me to pay again via in-app purchase, wtf? Yes, you're right. If you have bought Drei before January 3, 2014 and in the meantime deleted it or reset your iPad then there is unfortunately no way for us to check if you have bought it already or not (Apple doesn't provide purchase history). In this case please e-mail your iTunes receipt and we will send you a code to unlock it again. We're extremely sorry for that. Apologies." (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
