    Hmmm, something suspicious here, I see your post count is the same on both posts. I am thinking you probably do not really have over 1.2 million posts. Why, I bet you are barely over 100,000, 200,000 tops! For shame!

    Actually - I was thinking Hodapp probably is the OP on another account. How else would this topic spring up again?

    not really

    I bet exgamer has been staring at Canabalt on the AppStore for the past 24hrs. mulling over why he can't bring himself to buy it, checking his wishlist again and again, hoping magically it would say 99c, but every time it doesn't he takes another bite of his hotpocket in angst.

    Totally off topic, but how did you calculate the value spent on app store? Is there an easier way than adding up from all the receipts?

    this if you have OSX dont know if their is one for windows. it tells you how much you spend if you bought it today so most of my money was spent in 08 early 09 before everything was free/.99c. so i did add the receipts and its about a $900.00 difference between what it would have cost me today.

    It's been out forever..clearly it did well in past, now that steambirds is out by the same devs has been doing very well.

    Now that you mention it... you're probably right :)

    And you paid to find out how much you had paid already? That's rich! Apple should provide that statistic in iTunes for free. But I can understand why they wouldn't. They'd rather empty our bank accounts 99 cents at a time :)

    Honestly this.

    I loved Canabalt, and absolutely supported it's pricing, but considering that the frame rate has been busted for 3GS users since iOS 4.0, I certainly wouldn't say it's worth the price in the form it's in right now.

    Semi Secret promised to get Canabalt fixed after the release of Steambirds, so we'll see.

    However, $2.99 is not in any way shape or for an unfair price for a working Canabalt.

    you know it's nice to support a dev and stuff, but there comes a time when you gota think if what ur saying actually makes any sense. tbh, i agree with the op. canabalt is not worth 2.99 in the app store today. maybe when it first came out, but there are alot better games for two, maybe even three dollars less

    Is there any other way to eat a Hot Pocket? Speaking of Hot Pockets, Costco has a huge box for $12, anyone know if it's really worth that? That's like... four Canabalts.

    worth

    So in your mind Hoapp canabalt is worth more than monsters dash , which has refreshing levels , power-ups, and the like. Iam surpirsed to see you defending canabalt so hard . Adam Saltman must have solidified your wallet very well. At every turn you defend him and his game. By the way how much has he lined your pocket with. I see lately on the front page you cover big companies rather than idies . You must be cashing out.

    Wait a minute. YOUR post count is the same on all of YOUR posts as well! I am thinking YOU probably do not really have over 1,000 posts. Why, I bet you are barely over 100! And guess what? All of MY posts have the same number, so I can't POSSIBLY have more than 400 posts! Why, I bet that I only have, like, ten!
