This is a premium game, as far as I can tell, in that after paying my $1.99 there are no silly currency IAPs to worry about. BUT...to play this game's more advanced mode, beyond obtaining some sort of threshold score just to be able to access them, you need to pay stars that can only be earned by playing the base game mode. This isn't the case of paying stars once to unlock the advanced modes, which I'd be fine with, but stars you'll need to pay EVERY TIME you want to play these advanced modes. Why? This seems like such a blatant carry over from maybe an earlier free to play form of the game, but as there isn't even an option to buy stars or watch ads to earn them, why not the player have unlimited access to these advanced modes once unlocked? nyanpass Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2017 3,374 1,043 113 #3 nyanpass, Apr 19, 2018 As far as I know, this developer listens to the users' voices. If you send your comments, I think they will give you a reply.

I really like the game but this star thing just hits me as not being fully thought out. Journey Kim New Member Jul 2, 2016 4 0 0 #5 Journey Kim, Apr 19, 2018 Dear LordGek, Thank you for playing my game. As you mention, my game's star system is a kind of weird thing. For premium version, modes are kind of contents you can unlock and to earn more stars. I didn't want users to exhaust contents so fast. But the problem is, there are no other contents to use stars. For premium version, I don't want to add Ads or IAP. So I decided all you're needed to enjoy my game's full feature is the star. I have a plan to add useful Items and other unique Stones that can you buy with stars. I thought users could easily earn stars in the 3x3 Infinite mode, but I'm wrong. So, I'll update you can play all modes without any stars. I'm sorry for my game's insufficient contents. I promise I'll update Items and other Stones for the future. Thank you again for enjoying my game. If you have any suggestion, please let me know. shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #6 shfrost, Apr 19, 2018 Now thats impressive. # LordGek Well-Known Member Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze Feb 19, 2009 12,279 130 63 Software QA Engineer Saratoga, CA, USA #7 LordGek, Apr 19, 2018 I appreciate this and will happily change my review to this game's deserved 5 stars once the change is made. Your content so far is fine and, sure, it would be nice to have more things to spend the stars on, but please no pay to play. I'm all for using the stars for permanent additions like the skins or even if you needed stars to unlock new modes, as long as you only have to pay once. PBSNellie Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2013 1,372 163 63 Southern CA #8 PBSNellie, Apr 19, 2018 This is actually 1.99 in the App store. Journey Kim New Member Jul 2, 2016 4 0 0 #9 Journey Kim, Apr 19, 2018 Thank you very much! When I finish modifying for iPhone X notch, I'll update free to play for modes. Now I'm working for Android, Desktop, HTML but almost done. Please keep checking and enjoying my game. Journey Kim New Member Jul 2, 2016 4 0 0 #10 Journey Kim, Apr 19, 2018 I'm sorry for confusing you with the price. Yes, it's 1.99. For last PAX EAST period, it was a 0.99, but I don't know how I can update info in TouchAracde. If you know how I can update that info, please let me know.
