      This game was released in November 2009 for free. It remained free until November of 2011, at which point the price went up to $19.99. Then, a couple of days ago, the price increased again to a whopping $41.99.

      Is this unusual? I can't figure out why a game that was free a few months ago would now suddenly be over $40.

      That's nothing... ;)

      EDIT: Unfortunately that doesn't go back to when the app was $300 or whatever...

      Developer probably hoping that some fools out there will be stupid enough to fall for his scheme and pay that price. :rolleyes:

      I remember a couple years ago some devs put up their prices so high, in a protest to the App Stores ridculous pricing scheme.
