You can unlock everything at once -- it's just not cheap ($16.00 NZ, so around $13.00 US).

Can't tell -- the free version lets you play only through the first stage.

Damn. Read the first page of the thread earlier and mistook a comment thinking that there was just a $2.99 game unlock. Sounds great from those who have played it, but afraid to "unlock" the story mode and still find IAPs for consumables necessary.

It would have to be pretty convincing for the $13 All-In-One pack.

I don't mind IAPs for certain things, like game unlocks, but can't stand games with IAP consumables.

EDIT: Just out of curiousity, I looked up the WiiWare version and it's 1000 points, which I believe is $10. Surprising to see the iOS version be more expensive for the "full" deal.

True IAP consumables are total money grubbers. Especially when they affect leaderboards or online play.

Yeah, it looks like $4 to unlock the game, but there's that chance it's riddled with IAP. Scary and I'm definitely not going to TOFTT. Not this time!

Now that I know that there is an option to buy out of all IAP, I'm interested again. At first, it looked really good, then the IAP was mentioned. I really am avoiding games that rely on IAP. It may be pricey, but I like having the option to remove all IAP once and for all. That's good enough for me. Price discussions are usually pointless.
