TA has to change the ads on the Toucharcade app for this game now But it's a very fun game, recommended. sink_or_swim Well-Known Member Feb 4, 2012 3,504 5 38 Germany #4 sink_or_swim, Mar 25, 2013 Highly recommended but hopefully it won't go freemium! dclose Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 1,866 0 0 #5 dclose, Mar 25, 2013 I wondered about that as well, given that English isn't their native tongue. I'm hoping they'll make it clear when they actually do the switch, but I honestly thought Captain Antarctica was pay-freemium from the beginning (that is, while it cost 99 cents you can pay to progress), so wonder why it wasn't just freemium (or what I think should be more accurately termed "free download but pay to play") from the beginning? WCFields Well-Known Member Dec 6, 2009 2,865 0 0 steel worker #6 WCFields, Mar 25, 2013 is this game any good? shero89 Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2012 1,020 0 36 #7 shero89, Mar 25, 2013 I haven't played the game a lot to be honest so I can't say anything about the IAP's but if it's going freemium prepare yourself for an update that might change the IAP's and make them worse. dclose Well-Known Member Nov 20, 2011 1,866 0 0 #8 dclose, Mar 25, 2013 About "freemium", they had this to say on Twitter: "Captain Antarctica will be #FREE for a limited time." So it doesn't sound like it's going freemium; sounds more like it's just a temporary price drop in price to spur future sales. It has been confirmed that the iPad (HD) version will be free too, staring in about an hour. shero89 Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2012 1,020 0 36 #9 shero89, Mar 25, 2013 That's awesome will grab the HD version as soon as it goes free.

A lot of us TA members loved SME, so this is definitely highly recommended. shero89 Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2012 1,020 0 36 #11 shero89, Mar 25, 2013 Free now awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #12 awp69, Mar 25, 2013 This was all it took to sell me on this.

Thanks! awp69 Well-Known Member Oct 30, 2009 8,249 0 36 Greenville, SC #17 awp69, Mar 25, 2013 Playing story mode first and it's fun, but a little strange that a lot of your challenges basically require you to kill yourself (hitting urchins, mines). Anyway, definately worth picking up. KennyK Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2011 4,732 0 0 Scarlett Johansson's Hot Tub #18 KennyK, Mar 25, 2013 Thanks for heads up!

But solid, highly recommended.
