    Is it universal? Shame if it isn't, prefer playing games on my iPad.

    But the game looks very fun and is totally up my alley! I'll keep an eye on it to see if a universal update or a HD version is released.

    Looking forward to playing with this, after hearing about it from many forum members who were in the beta test. Definitely wondering how necessary IAPs are to using and enjoying this fully, though, and hopeful it will receive a Universal update.

    Yay! I've been waiting for this release for a while. xD

    If there's a perma-unlock IAP, I'm definitely taking it up.

    Well, I've just played through the "missions" and had more than enough mana to unlock everything (except for the various backgrounds) so, the IAP's are definitely not necessary.

    I was surprised that this game was going to be free! Go and download!

    I helped test it and I fell in love!

    Ack, so it's possible to be forced into buying mana by wasting mana on stuff you don't need?

    I bought the $5 IAP pack purely to support the dev. Then I saw there was a $6.99 pack that unlocks all items....

    I think your mistaken. Did you play through the entire campaign mode?
    I just got to around level 10 and got stuck, had to grind to unlock gold cup achievements which awards you mana..then I continued for a few levels, now I'm stuck again at level 13.

    It seems like the game is going to make you wait to unlock the achievements/ play for 5 hours, play for 2 days straight, 4 days, 8 days and 12 days.. Once you unlock those achievements you get awarded mana which will allow you to progress through the game.. But your going to have to wait 12 hours to finish (from what I've heard, a very short game)

    Or you can buy mana with real cash to progress faster.

    I would have much rathered just buy this app outright for 1.99 ..if I buy mana how do I know they won't just add more stuff later which I'll have to pay for again?

    I'm very disappointed that an otherwise apparently excellent sand art puzzle game has IAP-encouraging grind. Is it even possible to unlock everything even after playing for 5 total hours and 12 days in a row?

    Hi all and thank you for your comments!

    Actually the version is not universal (coming soon in an update) as we really wanted to keep the focus on the main features of the game and keep the release date as promised for May 15th!

    However, you can still play in X2 resolution waiting for the update!

    Thank you and unleash your imagination with the Sandbox !

    The mission to use any means for lighting the volcano doesn't work for me... And I have used not any, but every means lol.

    Also I hope IAP isnt forced later otherwise il just delete. Would prefer to have IAP not forced And work something like the junk jack system or just pay out right, personally...

    Looks fun though
