You must be reading something there that I'm not seeing. I thought he phrased things quite respectfully while imparting some knowledge that the dev lacks and seemed to be having trouble finding. I appreciate his posting that info.

But what if I want to buy 11 stones?

I'll cop to "direct," and even unusually so for this forum. I don't think I was rude, aside perhaps from having said this in open rather than in PM.

But I'm a paying customer, as well as a software quality engineer. The latter tells me this isn't something the developer should be comfortable with just addressing for the next game; the former gives me sufficient justification to say it.

D'oh, hypothetical plan busted!

Seriously, though, I wonder how many people -have- bought multiple IAP because they assumed the rebuy would restore?

This game is fun and very well polished.

I'm near at the end.

But I have some problem to change the focus of the group, or even to change the focus of a single child.

As the game is not very difficult, it is not a big issue, but sometimes, during fight with a lot of monsters, it is frustrating. In the beginning of a fight, it seems that the group focus the nearest monster, and that after, it is not possible to change the focus.

Has anyone the same feeling ?

We made this game accessible to both casual and hardcore gamers. Thats why for instance, the kids automaticaly find a target. However if you override it with a command the kid should attack the target you choose. However there might be a little bug there. I'll look into it.

The automatic focus is great, but I think that it would be possible to change the focus of the group with the double tap on another monster. The fight would become more strategic and it doens't change anything for people that doesn't want to manage the focus.

It seems backwards to me. If you give even more options to the hardcore players, then the game is going to get even easier for them relative to more casual players, and it's probably already too easy for them in order to be accessible to everyone.
