Um okay, so what's the point of the full version then? Anyone have any insight? awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #2 awp69, Mar 13, 2012 Don't know specifically, but I would imagine those "unlocks" are via IAPs? Or am I wrong? It would be pretty pointless if they had a paid version if everything could be unlocked via gameplay in the free version. This game did look interesting to me. EDIT: Looks like even the paid version has a butt load of IAPs so I have no idea. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #3 syntheticvoid, Mar 13, 2012 They're exact the same minus a little "rate me" message in the lite version... awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #4 awp69, Mar 13, 2012 Wow, that's kind of slimy. It's bad enough with devs changing paid apps to freemiums. But to have the same exact version that you have to pay for and the only difference is that message? syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #5 syntheticvoid, Mar 13, 2012 Yeah, I know. And I bought both versions at full price, along with the level packs before they made them available for purchase with in-game cash... Was upsetting. DaGreen1 Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2012 159 0 0 Florida #6 DaGreen1, Mar 14, 2012 Meh, I was upset that Beat Hazard Ultra went free for a bit when I paid for it upon launch. Still, it was the 99 cents price, so I can't complain too much. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #7 syntheticvoid, Mar 14, 2012 Yeah, loads of games have gone free right after I purchased em... There was a span of about 3 months when almost everything I bought went free the same week I got it. Still doesn't take the sting away no matter how many times it happens. DaGreen1 Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2012 159 0 0 Florida #8 DaGreen1, Mar 14, 2012 Lol. Beat Hazard Ultra went free for a week and it was at the most, a month old. And this is from a proven developer for other systems. Hey Void, question for you. If a developer updates a game a few days after you post a user review, would you update your review or just leave it be? awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #9 awp69, Mar 14, 2012 My thing isn't so much if they made it free for a bit but to have both paid and free versions that are essentially the same on the AppStore all the time is not very cool. syntheticvoid Well-Known Member Jun 20, 2010 14,504 124 63 Musician & factory worker. a[V-O-I-D] http://apparentsymmetry.bandcamp.com #10 syntheticvoid, Mar 14, 2012 Depends on the game, how much I like it, what all the update includes/changes, how many other reviews the game has ( I generally never review games that have a couple hundred or more reviews...), and if I still have the game on my device or not. =oP Show Ignored Content Share This Page Tweet Your name or email address: Do you already have an account?
