    I have it installed on my iphone. When I go to the appstore on my iphone, ipad, or pc, it shows the price. Release-pull-release with a different app identifier.

    I just went to the App Store on my iPhone, and same as on my iPad, it also shows Hroogar with Friends as "Install". Could this be something affecting your region's App Store only?

    He's complaining that the game was released and pulled and then released again, and he bought it the first time but now he has to buy it again.

    If so, I can see why that would be annoying.

    Hello, everone.

    The First released HROOGAR (maybe early December, 2012) was totally Free, never Paid. So customers could never buy HROOGAR (paid) twice. This version had very critical issues in the Multiplayer mode. So we had no choice but to stop releasing this version before the Christmas season (just 2 days available on the app store).

    And after a month we fixed critical issues and released HROOGAR again. (And was Freebie for a week recently).

    Thank you.

    Yes, I know I'm quoting myself. I need to extend an apology to the developers. I'm used to having my concerns ignored, so my kneejerk reaction is usually the correct one. BUT, these guys are on top of things. I was given TWO promo codes for the new version not long after my rant.

    Thanks guys. I've grown so jaded with what passes for ethics amongst iOS devs and publishers that I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt. I don't forget which devs are shady, nor the few that do right by their customers.

    So...anyone want to play online :)?

    EDIT: And if I didn't pay for it the first time, I'm doubly sorry. I have so many apps (over 12,000) and have spent so much (about 100$ a month) that I honestly don't remember what I paid for and what I didn't. Now I feel stupid.

    So, did you actually get the previous version for free, or did you pay for it as you said before? They claim it was always free. Maybe you misremembered?

    I edited my previous post. Read it for a more fleshed out response, but, if they say I did, I must have gotten it for free. If I look greedy, I don't mean too, I honestly don't know what I own :/

    The game was launched briefly for free in December, then pulled from the app store.

    The new version was then released at $0.99, briefly reduced to free, and is now back at $0.99.

    So why did they make it a new app instead of a update fix? I'm not gonna pay for the same app twice that is BS. Not hating on the developer glad he fixes it but dumb move.

    Do you have a problem reading what I wrote? The first release was always free. It would be impossible to pay for the game twice.

    Yes. But you got it for free. So you're not paying for it twice, as you claimed.

    A lot of fun when it works. We have played three games and not one has completed. It seems to locked up between player turns with no hope of recovering I hope they fix this soon.

    Hello, Everyone.

    HROOGAR is a turn-based game, so if AWK (away keyboard) users does not pass their turn, you can not take your turn unfortunately. :^(

    Moreover, iOS 5.x Game center does not support a time-limit of user's turn.

    For these reasons we recommend that you play HROOGAR with your friends or your family. :)

    We recognised this situation and we are trying to improve it.

    Thank you.
