They believe the issue has been fixed, yes, and the patch has been submitted to Apple for approval. You can also prevent that bug by turning off iCloud backups, until the new version is approved.

Yes, I enjoyed it while it lasted but I still feel I wasted my time.

If I do get my village back after the update then all will be forgiven. I just hope they fix the problem that wiped the data in the fist place so that it won't happen again.....could we get a conformation on that?

Bonus coins - coins which you can collect from tier3 resourcesx10.

Best
What is your solution to people who invested in IAP? That's all lost now. And from my experience, you can't give it back to players. What do you propose?

This literally, LITERALLY happened the second I finished reading Nissa's review and thought "Hey, I haven't played this for a few days" and then... "No String"

Flibberty gibbits!!

Did you guys not push this through as an emergency fix?! If not, this will be weeks before its done.

They previously suggested you get a refund from Apple, and wait for the update to buy anything.
Edit: Oh you mean for the no string bug. I guess if you have to delete to restart, the same would apply, but of course you could wait for the update to fix your game and presumably the coins will still be there.

Subbmition to Apple is on Chillingo competition, but I passed them your words on emergency fix.

As for money lost. We suggested to make refund. With the new update every player will be given 5000 coins as an appology.

I guess get it now, unless you're easily frustrated and unlucky. The bug only happens to some people, and if you get it now you'll get that bonus gold. Plus I think the update will be out very soon since I am sure Chillingo knows to call it a critical update, Chillingo has a lot of great games which means they make Apple money, and Apple likes money.

Edit: but definitely don't spend any cash on IAP until the update does out.

I have finally completed the game. Fun play. Good ending.

Here is a stats page for my build:



If you are observant, you may notice immediately from the screencap that this is a very SPECIAL build. See if you can figure out why.

Here are three hints:

1. Look at the 0 stats. Why are these stats special (especially for one particular stat)?
2. Look at the badge numbers. Why are they still there at the end of the game? It tells you what units and tools I used and did not use during the entire game. For the buildings, the number should have been 11 (not 10). There is a bug such that one of the buildings just disappeared when the game ended so that the count went down accordingly. 11 has a special significance in this game.
3. Look at the bonus coins. The number is exactly 20 (rather 10 x 2). This, again, has a special significance.

Given the game's name, I thought I would give a bit of a puzzle of my own.

Hey y2kmp3

I must say, first time I've seen somebody who finished the game not acctually loosing anything. We will think of achievement for it maybe. Congratulations!

I don't know if this was already mentioned but it's a bit hard to collect the tools from certain buildings like scarecrows. Item automatically disappear when I press the farm button. Tools do not really matter later on because I have overflowing amount of cash at disposal but still nice to know that I am getting my scarecrows worth

Someone said that the items on the map are automatically picked up when you go to another screen.
