That's what I suspected. Oh well. Thanks for verifying.

thank you for kind words!

I just finished today but I might keep picking away at it to get my missing achievements. I can't get the "healthy diet" one because the game crashes when I use one of each kind of supply. I also can't get "death and taxes" obviously because the campaign is over. I saw others make mention of these so I know I'm repeating what's already been said.

We've already fixed this achievements and will be released with upcoming update 1.02

This might have been covered before (there are a lot of pages to read through!) but any tips for clearing the mine so there are only dirt tiles?
One thing I noticed is that I lost my workers after getting the castle. I didn't hire anyone and when I started up again later they were gone.

Here is a hint: •••Spoiler:  Use drill as it takes all stones and iron and leave nothing but dirt behind and combo it with transmuters and other tools. Buy a lot of various tools and combo them on tier 2 and 3 resources. Using drill + combo of different tools should lead you to victory. Of course as Royce said - it's much more easier at early stage of the game. Have fun!

Thanks for the tip. I did it! It actually wasn't that hard but I did have to use a handful of tools to clear everything out.

@xraydash Great to hear it. Glad you like the game.
Guys. Patch 1.02 is on it's way. A lot of issues fixed. Stability, tools etc. We are finishing it today and give it Chillingo for tests, and then it will go strait to Appstore. I will keep you updated.
Best

bah I almost finished the game now and the patch wil probably be live exactly when I'm done... I have a ipod touch 4G and the game crashes very often. This is very annoying since the loading sequence takes so long, which makes a crash even more annoying...
Too bad that that bugs ruined a bit my experience since the game was otherwise very nice.

IF there will be a sequel one day then get rid of those big bugs first and implement other puzzle theme, like maybe fishing
Because only 2 themes was a bit meager.

Hey MissDjax

New update 1.02 with fixed stability on ipod is on the way. Also we are working on new content update, so in the future there will be opportunity to enjoy the game again.
Best.

Something I think would be neat is some sort of scored mode in which power-ups are either not allowed or issued within the challenge itself. This comes to mind since, as it is now, the highscores are completely meaningless since they could be either the result of somebody just emptying their bank account of real money to buy an infinite amount of power-ups, or, even if not using outside funds, it also could be due to some player saving up power-ups for weeks before playing the one session. I'm just looking for a scored mode in which everybody is on an even footing except for their own varied skill levels at the game's mechanics.

God this is addictive!
I am glad I now built everything that could be built so I can go back to my life.
Now to be objective, there is nothing much of a challenge with the match 3 mechanics, it is just about keeping playing to get money and items and build more stuff to be able to collect money and items faster......

Regarding highscore: yeah, I know what you're talking about, but new content update will be really challenging.

Upgraded to iOS 6.0 GM and it crashes on the ipad 3 when trying to create a new town. Works ok on the phone 4S.
