You mean that you get the locked free version even though you bought the game before we made the first world free? In that case, something might be wrong. Have you switched to a new device since you installed the game the first time? We will look in to this right away.

Sorry about the trubble

Well, I have only played up to level 11 so I can't tell yet whether I am locked out of levels that I previously paid for. If this is all a misunderstanding, and somehow the game is unlocked for those of us that bought it earlier, then it would be good. I am still on the original device and the game has never been deleted.

There are not 2 versions of the game right, one paid and one a trialware. Did my game get an automatic unlock because I was an early adopter?

Guess I am confused that is why I was asking other early adopters whether they could play previous levels? If anyone who is reading this could check, I would appreciate it.

Anyway, I will stay cool for now, since it is confusing, until I figure out what is wrong, but I have had 4 games tha I bought before turn into basically lite inapp games, and this is really really wrong, I know it is only 99 cents, but I will fight very hard for principle in times like this.

I don't understand why developers just can't make a lite version with unlocks as well as a paid version.

If your game had an automatic unlock or something else, I apologize for some of my comments. It's just was troubling reading the posts by other posters here where now the game is trialware.

Hopefully, it is all a misunderstanding.

We have an automatic unlock on the game, so if you haven't deleted the game, everything should be unlocked for you. If you can see 4 worlds (Forest, Cave, Factory, Flowerpark) in the world select you've got the whole game We have seen that If the game has been deleted before and than updated, the update do not know that it has been bought earlier and the Free 25 level version will be installed instead. Unfortunately we can not do anything about that now. We are a small independent studio learning as we go. Making games for touch devices is insanely fun and we will keep evolving and do our best to make fun and unique games

So actually its not free and along with the misleading thread title it shouldn't even be in the Price drops section.
This thread should be deleted.

So. What happen if we have already deleted the game? Despite paying for it and all, we still get the lite version? I hate this. Apps going freemium, locking content I bought etc. Surely you don't expect buyers to keep your app forever on their devices right?

Splendid. Not. This is why you should have came out with 2 versions if you were thinking of going this way. One, the the premium unlocked, the other the lite with the iap.

Yep I agree, we should have made two versions, as you said. Realized that a bit to late. We will amend that for our next game.

Agree lite + full versions. i never download or Buy games that have in App purchases to more levels or full game (if I do for FREE, it gets deleted + bad reviewed - if hidden from the title/info). Main reason is I need space and I'm going to delete the app/game sooner or later. Then reinstall or forget about the old game. If they have more levels release them for free. otherwise think about a 2nd edition to the game with updated theme etc.

It's not too late. You could update it back to the original game and release the lite version. If you admit it was a mistake, then isn't that the way to fix it?
