We really would like to hear your feedback on Bucketz as it's a major franchise that will continue to provide you more content and features on a steady basis in the future. We want to be a part of our gaming community and decide on the exciting new additions to the game together. Please drop a comment on the App Store or on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/bucketzgame and you can follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/BucketzGame

Cheers.

I looked at this game on the AppStore, it looks really fun. I decided not to purchase it based on it being a $1.99 game with a lot of iap's. If it was free with the iap's that is one thing but I don't want to pay for a game and then in order to progress without frustration or power up I have to invest unlimited money. I prefer to pay one price and be able to finish the game. I have cut way back on the games I download because it seems like most games that look fun have this kind of pay system.

Hello flutternutter. I assure you, the InApps are completely optional and you can complete the game without them. The Bucks you win at the end of levels will provide you with enough to purchase many items in the store..

Plus the items in the store only augment certain powerups, minions etc. appearing in the game. For example various glasses in the shop allow you to see through the haze of a smoke grenade. You will not miss any part of the action in the game even if you never visit the store, but it will be slightly harder. I hope this helps you with your decision!

Thanks for the response, I'm still hesitant though. Would like to hear some impressions from people or see a review first.
