The developer posting here has handed out a few promo codes. I was lucky enough to get one and my early impression is that it is a very polished and intriguing game. It is an easy recommendation, particularly at the bargain release price.
Oh, I see. I wasn't aware promo codes could be used to play the game before it was out on the App Store.
Thanks - moving up! Thank you all for your awesome comments, loved every one of them, now it's time to go - to a proper thread - with released games! Echoseven was kind enough to open up the discussion here already, with the New Zealand release info: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=166180
