    Zen Garden?
    Retina?

    ...why "not updates" on iPad?

    Most likely because they have like 10 different code bases for as many platforms and the iPad one is lost in their big pile of money.

    I'm changing their name to Popkrap.

    Yep ... it seems if they have no chance to grab some fresh money from us they are not interested to do anything more ... it is a shame ... :(

    It's a mode where you have a garden and you buy and plant flowers which accumulate and makes you money to buy other items/better flowers etc

    This is what happens when you're bought by EA... :(

    No ... they promised updates longer than one year before EA purchased the company ... this company had already before a very bad customer service ... :mad:

    It does annoy me that they seem to be able to update 'Bejeweled Blitz' which is a freemium game but not this.

    True, but they were neglecting the iPad long before they were devoured by EA...

    Well I'm a new iPad owner so that's news to me :p But since being bought the focus has been more on bejeweled blitz and solitaire blitz. Even if popcap wanted to I doubt EA would have them investing in an old IP with free updates versus a new freemium IP that brings in money though micro transactions

    Exactly.

    What irritates me, though, is the fact that it shipped incomplete in the first place.

    They're probably making money on that one and not this one, sadly.

    On my god... they updated it. I'm shocked.

    I don't think it's iPad retina but I'll take it...

    One of the reviews says you need to pay $150 000 just to play each additional mode like zen garden. I'm not far enough to unlock them yet but I was just wondering if this is true (another EA money grabbing move) and if the iphone version had the same pay to unlock system. Thanks.

    Yep it's true. I've mortgaged my house and I'm selling my iPad and a lot of my things and I should just have enough to get one of the mini games. Can't wait!
