Imo you should remove the IAP, you said you don't get much from it anyway... it really turns me away when is see a game thats not free and even has IAPs, I just think to myself: Woah, I ain't that rich.
That's interesting. I wonder how may other users feel the same way. Time for a poll?

We've had around 16,000 downloads (35,000 if you include pirated versions).
We've made probably around $100 off IAP.. mainly because the IAP isn't part of the game and is only for people who want to just unlock everything (cheat) without playing through. The game was always designed for you to never buy IAP. We don't have any mention of it other than 3 buttons at the bottom of one sub-sub-menu.

So while we do have IAPs it's not really something that should be considered when buying the game.
Ok, I'm being completely honest right now...I have $5 on my account right now, and I already spent 3 on the Scribblenauts world pass, Cartoon Wars Gunner, and Fragger. And tonight at 11, I will buy Random Heroes. That will only leave me 1 dollar, and I'd like to try your game. What can I do to get it?

Hah! Well we're can't drop the price on a whim that quickly however why not take the $1 and buy some other indie game that you've held off buying before?

P.S. I appreciate the honesty

Well, I checked your game out, saw youtube videos, read the itunes description and reviews, and read the website reviews.

I was very impressed with the reviews, very impressed. The videos, the game seemed like a weird cross between spy mouse and an rts game. Couldn't really determine if I would love the game from the youtube videos, but it does look like fun.

Reading the website reviews, seems overall, your game got high marks.

So mainly the questions are, why didn't I hear more about the game when it was released, and is this a game that would be fun for me to play.

I think a lite version of your game is a must. It is a new game concept, unlike a clone of angry birds or temple run, so it is a little hard for us to get a good idea of the game through screen shots and youtube videos.

About the inapps, I can't fairly say until I play the game. But I think if it is a small amount of inapps it would be ok.

I do think though a temporary price drop is a good idea to see how it goes, and I would try this before doing something like FMA or I hope you never go freemium.

But, since the reviews are solid, I too like the others here would take a chance to try it for 99 cents. I have a philosophy, if it is 99 cents and the reviews are great like in your game, buy it without a second thought. Almost all of the time this has worked, and even though I don't have a mancrush on zombies like others do, I would guarantee that I would buy your game, and if it was really good, would spread the word out too. And I promised you before, if I see a price drop on appshopper, I will be the first to post it on the price reduction on this board.

Anyway, good luck in your game, one way or another I have a feeling I will be enjoying your game on my new ipad in the future. Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words.

Really I think we just didn't do a good enough job at getting it out there. We did a lot but really we probably could have done more.

We took a good hard look at what we produced and decided that we could add a lot to the game to give it value and we feel that as it stands (the coming update 1.5) will be pretty much as good a game as we could have made.

We're hoping it's got what it takes to get people like yourself interested enough to try the game and maybe it would enter your guys top 5 zombie game lists.. After that it's the game's job to keep you playing
