    Price point is a fixed $1.99.

    Not going on sale for a very long time(probably never). A lot of people(beta testers, friends, etc) have said they think it's a $2.99 or $4.99 game, but I definitely just wanna get it out there and get lots of people playing it!

    FYI I'm also never going to raise the price.

    O ok, I just saw this price on the front page. sorry about that. But I just learned of this game and looks really great. Will definitely be picking it up after the weekend, and telling all my family and friends. Good luck!

    Glad to hear that you like the look of it! Telling your friends and family is great, I'm really relying on word-of-mouth advertising for this, because I can't afford to pay for ads or anything like that.

    Well I can tell you that if you are active on the thread when this comes out and you answer people's questions and take feedback for quick/prevalent updates, then word will spread like wild fire.

    Check the Superblox thread as an example. Being known around the TouchArcade circles can go a long way to 5 star reviews in the App Store. And of course promo codes don't hurt.

    Well you'll be pleased to know that I've cropped back the number of puzzles a tiny bit for the release. Instead, the main game consists of exactly 100 puzzles, with the rest of the REALLY hard puzzles being added as "bonus" puzzles(right now there are around 15). I'll be adding more in updates pretty soon. Hopefully that'll help you beat it! There are a couple new puzzles too that weren't in the beta(although the vast majority are from the beta).

    @Electric Grandpa - I am late to seeing this thread, and just looking at the video - Looks like a very clever puzzler combining color combinations, as well as mapping. I'll be watching for it.

    Yeah the final version has a thing where you can change your display name, but in the meantime, I've changed your "Trainyard user 6" name to "Aznriceboi13". :)
