Pocketnova Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2012 2,346 0 0 #6 Pocketnova, Apr 25, 2013 Well, you both are supporting indie devs buy buying it at any price, but the more money/downloads they get when it s priced higher should mean less price drops. I know how annoying it is to have this happen, but at least a) they aren't some huge company who doesn't need money and they do it for no reason and b) it's a two buck price difference, I'm glad they didn't drop it to 99c, because that would be a slap in the face for EAs. Sorry for the rambling post. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there. amdreh Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2013 227 0 0 Brazil #7 amdreh, Apr 25, 2013 Anyway, it's a very fun and polished game. It's like Roar Rampage, because both have crazy funny gigantic monsters destroying everything, but Crabitron is better, there is more variety. And two arms.

Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #9 Royce, Apr 25, 2013 Hmmm coin multipliers but no consumable IAP. I'm not sure what to think I've never seen that before. noggin New Member Jan 21, 2013 3 0 0 #10 noggin, Apr 25, 2013 Last edited: Apr 25, 2013 It's the same for any new release game. Hard to see it as being "punished" though, just the cost of having to have stuff early. I keep thinking, if only I waited a week, I could have used that $2 for a cheeseburger or half a coffee. Edit: Forgot to talk about the game. It's fun and well worth the $5 I spent for it and also a must have for any iPad device. AnarKitty Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2010 3,654 0 0 Minneapolis, USA #11 AnarKitty, Apr 26, 2013 One of my favorite new games, and absolutely worth buying. Royce Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2011 4,239 179 63 #12 Royce, May 10, 2013 Now $1.99. I'm still on the fence due to coin multiplier IAPs. Someone sell me on this Aventador Well-Known Member Jan 16, 2013 933 1 0 Student Croatia #13 Aventador, May 10, 2013 Last edited: May 10, 2013 This game is worth 4.99$ and more, actually one of rare games I spent much on IAP. Beautiful graphic and animations, lots od different enemies, funny and challengeing bosses ( space satellites, space fighters that teleport and fire beams, Cybersclops that attacks with huge arm...),power ups like super suckatron, burping,lightsabers, heck just being able to split space Titanic in half with giant crab is worth 1.99 $ . If you want all upgrades you will need to do some grinding without multipliers, but gameplay compensates for that, especially at higher levels when everything moves lightning fast around you. But playing in pair is probably the biggest value, got my whole family hooked on Crabitron , so much fun. Pipipitchu Well-Known Member May 4, 2013 1,644 0 0 Civil Servant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil #14 Pipipitchu, May 10, 2013 Someone edit the title to $1,99 instead of £1,99.

Other problem with game is that at first glance it looks like it's made for kids only ( which is wrong ! ), that has probably fended off some of people from buying it coupled with a bit high starting price and IAP ones.Also they didn't mention the possibly of 2 people playing it on same device in app description, should have advertised this as multiplayer game. I admire two guys who made this game, it is so polished and refreshing , use of touch controls and utilization is perfect.Unfortunately , as anyone can see it from their crabstarter page, sales haven't been that good.I don't mind them experimenting with price so much if that means bigger sales and income,even though starting price was more than fair for game like this.
